well as everyone said this is a well designed set great vehicles great design the only down side...and its a big one for me is that lego has gone too far with guns and violence :-/ i never thought i would see the day lego makes an army truck! >:-( i just cant beilive they went through with it.. its too much guys well the famous "non violence" policy seems like a big big joke right now.

you are right! i didnt notice that! this is weird..how come they are wearing these helmets now?

thought i could post these here since i cant find them in the castle forum and here is the whole gallery http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=288293

so i guess im the only one hating this?? :-X :-X it looks SO bad to me! castle 07 was great! *wub* a return to the early 90s this year is just terrible for castle! *n* they have this cool idea..goblins trolls etc and they make terrible sets! its all back to machines and weapons and monsters... and i want buildings! castles! where do these goblins stay? 8-| dont they have a place to call home? and lego could make a new castle for the good guys this year.. a bit smaller than last year but with the same consept..but no! we had to have a million troll fighting machines! >:-(

i dont know if this has been posted but i found this 2day on brickset oops! so it has been posted..anyhow its nice to have a pic of it in the caste 2008 theme..

you could also add some lemon in the soapy water that really helps to remove the smell i should know..im a heavy smoker!

none. i dont really get this "army building" unless you want to "play" with your lego or build a really big moc otherwise its a waste of money for me..

this is a great find!! these must be the shop@home images

personally i think this set looks very good and when was the last time we got a shark?? im probaply not going to get this not because i dont like it but simply because i have this one and i think they look a bit similar. other than that the set is pretty nice im just bored by all the helicopters and trucks in city how hard is it to make more buildings?

:-/ sorry guys :-/

the set is coming in the second half of 2008 the picture is basicly a prototype we already knew about this but it has now been confirmed by VW you can read the rest here http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/publish/vol...icle_2091.shtml thanks to http://bricktowntalk.blogspot.com/ for the link and the news

i was so happy to finally see a lego house again! this was all before the amazing creator houses and the modular buildings.

this is so sweet!! i wonder what the price is.. cant be more ecxpensive than cc

i really like this set! although it dosent mix all that well with cafe corner but the gas station would look better in a city than the new one.. more pictures of the old sets cant wait to see more exclusives i wonder if they are in the same style...

i love these lego junk!.... *wub* i mean products!

well there is nothing really wrong about that.its all part of the marketing game. i just hope they hear our opinions. although i dont think they will change much the products should already be in the production line..

:-D :-D LOL I guess you are right hinckley!! (and i ment right NOT wrong)

wrong for who? there is no right or wrong as hinckley pointed out its about opinions and taste

always a pleasure to read your reviews my friend! very good pictures once again and great fun! *y* on to the set :it seems a bit messy..and a bit empty.. :-/ and as you pointed out in your comic the fanctions are a bit..pointless! the minifigs are VERY good and lego keeps doing that lately! :-) great minifigs in just ok sets.. they did the same with the evil-skelly-wizard-tower |-/ can you please please use the beard in a normal minifig with a baseball hat? i wonder if it can be used in city and look ok.. 8-| thank you once again (hey 500 posts! :-) )

wow..i havent seen these...they both look so..sceary! bionicle keeps getting spookier and spookier!

i still think 2007 was better. maybe summer stuff will be better. and we still havent seen the exclusives

i dont remember mars mission being on the list for january there are 2 impulse sets for mars mission. maybe it will come back in june though i hope it wont i hated it!

WOW WOW WOW so much news at once! i cant handle this system overload!!! *wacko* *wacko* i LOVE the small plane and car for post!these are SO CLASSIC!!!! X-O and i really like the two smaller creator sets.. ;-) ofcourse the house is amazing we already said that.. the police station is a big surprise.. 8-

thank you so much for the pics. cant wait for your review! those minifigs look very good. though the big guy is just awuful if you ask me... but then again im not gonna "play" with my lego so i guess kids will love them..very good playability! (now i have to consider getting this set)

realistic? lego isnt supposed to be realistic! its supposed to show us the world through its eyes. its not the real world.. trains are not so small.. buildings have back walls and a cup isnt as big as my torso.. this isnt about realism it has never been and never will be.. the reason i dont like this its because it looks like playmobil and while i find playmo to be great i dont like it that much to collect it and playmo goes deep into realism with many details and features of the real world.. but lego never went so far before... they did it last year with the planes and alhough realism is ok for a toy like playmo lego is about the brick and connected bricks can never look so realistic.. when lego tried to achieve the realism of playmo ended up with a huge plane hull that most of us hate.. and this is what a lego modern sea plane should look like hope the rest of the line is better..
