I just ordered a Wampa Cave and Grievous Starship. I didn't expect these sets to be available this early, mayby they put them online by mistake? Hopefully they'll be here by the end of the week Cheers Frank

You will certainly find your trip worthwhile - even without the Lego store Munich and the whole of Bavaria make for a rewarding holiday. If you are in the Munich area, you might want to check out Legoland in Günzburg which is only 80 Minutes (120 km) west of Munich. They have a great selection of bricks to choose from in the Lego Factory, much better than any PAB wall. Cheers Frank

Could have been me...in Nuremberg I heard a lego rep saying a few times that there is at least one of each figure in a case/display box. I also saw an opened box with half the figs missing, so I'm rather sure that samples were given out. Also, one lego rep said that employees had received samples and were trading them. Frank

On the right side, you can't see it in this picture Too bad I didn't take a picture, but you should see the Pharao and the judo fighter with a tiny golden mini-fig trophy. Cheers Frank

They did look like regular plastic to me, I was actually very impressed how great they looked! Series one is supposed to be out in June as we all know, the second series in September will be packed in blue bags by the way. I believe they were giving out some figures to select customers at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, but I was not among the chosen few. I'll admit though that I was happy just to see them. Frank

The Baywatch minifigure is indeed a female I can also confirm the vampire plus - judo fighter (with a great detail: a mini-trophy that looks like a mini-figure) - Mexican with Sombrero - 70s like guy with black curly hair - witch - Pharao - Roman - surfer - guy with skis . female singer - weightlifter - thief - ringmaster Sorry, I forgot the rest. I saw them in person today and they are gorgeous. As has been mentioned before, one assortment contains 60 figures. Each assortment is planned to contain all 16 figures, but there may be 10 of a certain figure and only 3 of another. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere... Cheers Frank Now where do I post the news about the advent calendar?
