That's my point. Lego getting rip of colors, fine, I will try to move on. But if Lego is going to make the product cheaper, and keep the sets costing the same ammount I might as well by Megablocks. I understand Lego trying to make the bricks out of more cheaper stuff if they were still as strong, but what was said pretty much says "We need to save money and in order to do that we will make the bricks crappier".

I have some of the Life on Mars sets and they don't make any sense. The helmets are made from blue chrome. It looks great, but who really needs that?

Alpha Team should have beenkept as a spy line, the new sets are the worse thing, but they don't go with Alpha Team. But at least they come in cool blues. :)

Lego works in very odd ways. Thus the reason why they have recently been loosing a half billion dollars a year.

I liked it for the helmet, it looks rustic, but otherwise it sucks. It does make sense through to have only tree colors instead of 10 pointless colors.

A-Wing & B-Wing!!! I'd be happy, those were my favorite ships. Love the A-Wing, just this great shape, love the B-Wing because it looks like a T and nothing like a B. :)

I just thought of something.... They didn't say two NEW sets, they just said two OT sets, we can just get more rererereleases. Maybe what they will do is rerererererelease Vaders Tie again! :D

"50 added minutes!" Just what was needed, a 40 hour movie made into an even longer movie.

Well what I'm saying is we could always get a Hoth playset. :-) And yes the big surprise. It wasn't a surprise at all, just a very people were not too smart and didn't believe it.

They could always have more than two. They usually have a big Star Wars set in the fall that is an exclusive and they don't talk about.

The Scorpion is very cool, but Alpha Team is dead. The Scorpoin Orb Launcher is advertised in this weeks Toys Aren't Us ad, it's $20, they didn't mess up the prices like they normally do.

Yay!!! The Tie Fighter comes out next month!!! I'm sure we are all going to rush and buy that! :)

I just want to add that lego is so megablock. We already saw all the first half of 2004 sets besides Star Wars, and we have had them up for at least a month, and NOW, when they are being released as we speak anyways they are getting rid of the pictures. So lame.

I know, if it doesn't then it's not a boat but a sub. :) Just find it funny they didn't put "Floats" on the page. The Police Boat is better, All I'm going to do is find it for cheap, through out those guys and replace the front.

I never even knew the police boat has a motor in it, they also changed the picture to show it. I rather buy the Police boat through, at least it looks like a boat. I also find it funny the other boat, the Police Boat, has "Really Floats" and "Needs Batteries", when the new speeder boat just says "Needs Batteries", does that mean it doesn't really float?

927 pieces in 9 sets at a cost of.... $103 dollars... not too bad. How many of the sets are still in one piece....None.

It's because it has a motor in it. I thought it would move because there was this funny piece in the back of it, but I thought there would be more than 106 pieces, the motor must cost like $10 to make or something. I will most likely buy one when Target puts it for like $16.78 or something like that, just to have it float around my pool. :D

I came up with a list of 53 colors that doesn't include the Clickets things.

I think dark green and blue will stay, but I think lime green is gone, there is no need for it, it's only in a few Racer sets, and light yellow (the most pointless color) is gone for sure. We should come up with a list of 56 colors that we think they will keep.

106 pices for a $30 boat. I don't care if it does float and have a motor, it's not worth it.

Well I like the fact they are getting rid of colors, but it you look online color lists they came up with new colors for this years, its megablock. Plus I like my greens, lime green is my favorite Lego color, but they will most likely get rid of it now. The oranges are a joke, they have like 10 kinds and they are all only slightly different. But I need more greens, and I love all the blues and they will most likely get rid of most of those.

I'm shocked no one saw this over at Lugnet. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/whoward6...ocolournews.jpg So Lego wants to cut colors fine, they want to get rid of some shapes of pink, thats fine too, but they are wanting to get rid of some shades of green! That's a no. They also said the shapes of pink are too much, then why did they make new ones up? Get rid of three, add two new ones, these people are idiots! Then my favorite part.... Lego is looking into ways of making Legos cheaper... not in how much we spend on them, they want to make themselves cheaper made! Like the cloths from Wal-Mart. I swore the Lego main people have to be Megablock fans or something trying to destroy the Lego world. I can't belive what these people are thinking.

I don't have time. I just bought the Fire Station and Truck because I really wanted them, but the helicopter is nice, for like $7, $10 is really pushing it. The only other set is that little fire car which I want so I can add the boat thing from the Fire Truck to it. I will most likely wait until they go on sale. I'm saving my money so I can find some Lego sales after the Holidays for this years sets.

Fire Helicopter Item#: 7238 Ages: 5+ Pieces: 75 Price: USD 9.99 Preorder this item today, will ship by 22 Dec 2004 I guess Lego has to make up for the nice prices of the Fire Truck and Station by ripping us off on the helicopter.
