Well, it's more or less not coming soon, considering it's release is in 2-3 years. Honestly, I would have waited till I had some footage to show people, you're just sort of teasing us at this point. And it's not fun. At least give us more background info on what it's about.

Possible worldwide ban on the sale of lego on ebay?
Luke McAwesome replied to Duck's topic in General LEGO Discussion
I'll believe it when I see it. This is crazy, LEGO can't possibly do this. And I quote: -
Curses! Blasted roasters toadstools toasters!

I quote our favorite Stauder: "I knew it! Conspiracy!"

Indeed, that's exactly what I meant; thanks, Stauder!

Space Police III has only been out for less than two months and you're already saying that it's going to end after only one line-up/wave? Not likely. Although I can't see much more Power Miners, or Agents, honestly. Like what's been said before, there's only so much you can do with a drill and a couple of wheels. It was a great theme, I got all of the first 6 sets(Which made me broke, mind you. ), and still love the to this day. Especially the Crystal Sweeper and Thunder Driller; best sets of the first wave, IMO. And as far as Power Miners goes, there's still a couple of sets they haven't released yet. Now, we'll move on to Agents. It's an awesome theme with great sets, but honestly, this year has been a bit bland except for 4-Wheeling Pursuit and Robo Attack. The first wave was perfection. Not one complaint. And the thought of an elite spy team is great, too. But still, they need a new enemy. Dr. Inferno can only be the enemy for so long, and at first, I thought this year's main baddie was Dr. D. Zaster. But no, Dr. Inferno still reigns king of crime. The first line of vehicles was nice, too. A spy car, a giant truck, a motorcycle, a jet fighter, and a "jetpack". This year, the vehicles were just small(Except for the helicopter and huge jeep), and rather boring. And now I think I should talk about how some themes will not die out... City is a theme that will never get old. There's so many possibilities! A few little different houses, maybe a whole neighborhood(What an expensive set that would be! ), random civilian cars, more impulses of just regular minifigures without theme(As in Fire, Construction, Police, eyc.) and just civilians. That's the one thing City is missing; more civilians. And that's what this year has been good for, the Camper, the Sports Car, and City Corner. And I also enjoy this new addition to the Transportation theme, the Tow Truck, Helicopter Transport, Garage, etc. Racers is one theme that's going strong; I have a couple of friends that only collect Racers. The Tiny Turbos are a nice sub-theme of Racers, and there's still many possibilities. LEGO usually releases two waves of Tiny Turbos per year, correct? Than my point is proven! My local(By local, I mean a half-hour away.) Wallie-World has half a shelf just for the Racers line. And about one hundred Tiny Turbos mini-canisters in stock at least every time I go there. Pirates still has much more momentum in it that could boost it at least for another year or two. More ships(Preferrably Navy ships.), less islands, more impulses, and a new sub-theme; Islanders! The return of a dearly missed theme, it would be great to see our cute little Islander friends return. Castle. What more to say? It's still got a great variety of sets that could still be released; there's subthemes that can be returned, Forestmen, Fright Knights, etc. There's still lots more fun to be had with this theme. And LEGO would be making a huge mistake for axing this theme next year. And now for Creator. Creator has so many possibilities. In fact, too many possibilities. And that's a good thing, so LEGO should start working on whipping out more Creator sets; they're the perfect parts-pack. I personally think the Town House is the best Creator set thus far. ----- By now I'm sure you get my point, but this is where I'm supposed to say that "LEGO needs to think outside the box." ... Well, not literally, but you get my point. LEGO has so many options for themes and sets and they don't even put them into action! Thanks, -Striker

I think Hinckley's title should be "Cleanin' Up the Town" after the song from Ghostbusters, for two reasons: 1. His avatar has his siggie holding a Proton Pack and Gun... 2. He also moderates the Train and Town Forum. What'cha think, Hinck?
-
Correction; Three! Count me in, Stauder.

More toasters! I also have a third question for you, Stauder: Are you the leader of a toaster cult?
-
Very nicely done! The littles details are nice, such as the license plate on the back and the caution yellow and black strip tiles! It's a great idea, I just wish I had some containers myself; I missed those waves of City sets.

Alpha Team discussion thread
Luke McAwesome replied to Mixwizzard The Terrible's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
Very wise words. I wish I could have thought of that, Peppermint_M! And I can't agree more with the rest of your post; Agents is one theme that I think will never get old. -

Luke McAwesome replied to Luke McAwesome's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Thanks, and you'll get more soon! And some of the pictures are a bit out of focus, though. I was worried people would bomb me for that. -
Hello everyone! Today, the first chapter of my new line of story MOCs begins! (Don't understand what's going on? Check out the profiles of the characters here!) The Story Begins... Day: July 4 Time: 7:41 PM Closing Time for the Salt Lake Tribune Building James Grady. How to describe him? He's 37 years old, smart, and writes for the rarely read State History section. Today, also known as Independence Day for us Americans, James finally had a day off. But there's a bad side, his boss has called him in, saying it's urgent, and that he has to discuss his job with him. The building is almost empty; everyone except his boss has gone home. He slowly walked to the seats outside the office. The light by the door was still red. He wasn't allowed in yet. He sat down and waited. Ten minutes later, the light flashed green. He stepped into the office to see Mr. Wagner sitting at his desk. "Ah, James! There you are. Sorry for the wait, I was talking to my wife. She wants me to bring home a bag of potato chips and some sodas. You know, I never really saw the point of soda, it always gives me a stomach ach-" "Mr. Wagner, you said this was important?" "Yes, my apologies. Anyway, about your job... Um, how do I put this gently, er, you're going to be fired." "What?!" "I'm sorry James, nobody cares about history anymore. We made some statistics and showed that people read the Health section more than the State History section. There's no point in keeping it in the paper anymore." James glared at him. "However, James, if you can come up with a good story in one week, you can keep your job. Understand?" James sighed. "Look, why didn't you tell me this earlier? I would have preferred time instead of having only a week to save my job." "I really am sorry, James." James paused at the door. He turned to leave but looked back at his boss. "You know, I find it sad that nobody cares about how all of us came to be what we are today. History may not be a current priority, but it is important. And nobody even realizes that everywhere we go, everything we are, there's history somewhere." "... One week, James. I suggest you start at the library." "Good night, Mr. Wagner." He walked out of the office and into the elevator. Mr. Wagner got up and grabbed his hat, he had to get going or he'd be late for his own party. "Such a nice, smart, boy. It'd be a real shame if he had to be fired. He's really dedicated," he grimaced. "One week." He walked into the next elevator and the building was soon empty once more. ----- Next chapter to come soon! Thanks, -Striker

E-p-t-o-a-s-t..... AW MAN! More or less. I just refer to you as the Fried-Bread Guy. EDIT: But still, you're right, it's all a conspiracy....

Happy Birthday, everyone. Dragonator: Hope you get a lot of (Insert favorite theme here)! Alice: Hope you get a lot of Paradisa! Other two guys that I don't know: Um, yeah, awkward...

I didn't mean that you were implying that, I said that to representative for me and the other people who thought that Crystal is Peppermint_M. Sorry for the mix-up.
-
I fail to disagree. Math is too hard. But anyway, I think we can all tell that Crystal is not Peppermint_M.

A quote from an earlier post... ... And now look what we're all doing now. Why can't we all just get along and enjoy our experience instead of complaining? The moderators have posted this reminder for a reason, and that reason is to keep a mature environment, and a well grammarized one at that. So, why don't we all put this thread, now turned war between admins, mods, and members alike, to rest and get back to doing what we love? And that is building with our LEGO. ---------- For those of you that disagree with me, that's okay, but I'm not going to argue with all the kind people that dedicate themselves to this site. Thanks, -Striker EDIT: And yeah, yeah, I know what you're all thinking. "STUPID HIPPY!"
