lightningtiger Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 For the gas station, I think it'll be not in the 60026 box because the stickers for the price is the same of the 2007's gas station. Since the rumoured price of town centre is about 99 bucks....must be US dollars......I feel the gas station might not be part of it but those stickers.....on the price tower sign it's not a whole sticker like in the 2007 set but sliced up plus on the driveway roof they are fresh stickers for the Octan logo on them.......so could it be a prototype set for an exclusive this year or next ?

just2good Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Actually, I'm guessing this set is going to be $120, just like the Garage from last year. Quote
eiker86 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) How about the gas station and the big octane semitruck that i did not get a good photo of? I thought maybe it were old? Edited February 14, 2013 by eiker86 Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 The Octan semi-trailer is the F-1 transporter set we saw from the toy fair photos the other day......but that gas station we need someone to check on that because there isn't a vehicle with it that's not already in or has been in production ?

eiker86 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Well. I meant the one to the right in this pic ;) That was 3180.. So I have not seen any new cars other than already shown here =( Maybe someone in Copenhagen sees someone I missed ;) and here are a street view of the ?town center?

lightningtiger Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Oh, the Octan semi.....2010 airport subtheme set. I want all those new things for sure......hey, wasn't 'jonwil' asking about outriggers for a fire truck....the new crane has fire truck outriggers ! Quote
eiker86 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 If someone could check the garage? The red car at ground floor? Other than that red car I have not found any unknown cars in the layout. Quote
Jargo Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) The red car was first seen last year when the multi-storey car park and hospital were first shown. It's the yellow car from the set, in red with cheese slopes at the rear instead of a 1x4 tile. The blue car on the top of the car park is seemingly new. It's almost like a cross of the VW like SUV and blue car that came in the car park set. Edited February 14, 2013 by Jargo Quote

By the looks of it the vehicles are all over the place.....maybe it's to confuse us.....but not the tiger my job is to look to the facts and put the pieces together just like I do fixing a TV or sound system. Also a close inspection of the red bus shows advertising for more than one thing......the City Pizza bar, the bike shop and the Museum ! Edit - The red is using black train doors for passengers to hop on and off ! Edit 2 - I can confirm that F1 and Monster Truck transport sets will be a general release , but no listing for 60026.....well, we know what that means don't we ?

Graysmith Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Very cool! I love the flags on the bike shop, which I'd like to think is a reference to 6373. I doubt the gas station is a real set considering the vehicles displayed with it is the new stand-alone tank truck and what looks like the yellow car from the 4435 Car and Caravan set. If it was an upcoming set it'd surely include some vehicles unique to it. Also, with the parking garage last year including a little gas station section I can't imagine they'd do something similar to that this soon. I'd love for it to be a real set, but it doesn't really look like it is. Quote

True, the bike shop is a modern take on that classic 80's motorcycle shop......now the gas station I did say about the green curved slope pieces......this colour isn't in any set listing on Bricklink.....hence it's new - plus add a few unknown vehicles about the layout. There was the same kind of doubt talked of a few years back about the 3677 red cargo train if my memory serves correct. Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I own the 6373 Motorcycle Shop... This is certainly light years ahead of that. Quote
jonwil Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Maybe the little green street sweeper car comes in the 60026. I suspect the Octan Gas Station IS a new set (either stand-alone or quite possibly part of the 60026) as it has new parts and stickers that wouldn't be made only for a display like this. I bet the sign with the red <-o-> arrow on the yellow tile is also in the 60026. Can anyone tell how the outriggers on the new crane are built? In saying all this, I for one LOVE what we have seen so far (red bus, gas station, crane, pizza joint, bike shop) and will be very much interested in buying whatever becomes available (funds permitting of course) Glad I haven't bought the Museum set, house-on-fire set or some of the other "nice but not WOW" 2013 sets.

lightningtiger Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Think about it everyone Town Plan had three buildings and two vehicles.......Town Centre perhaps the same though in this case three vehicles (two of large & highly detailed) and the buildings - detailed but not as much as 2008 TP. Quote
Jargo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I think the set will comprise of: Bike shop with dirt bike and bicycle Pizza place with kid on purple skateboard Gas station with blue people carrier car (seen atop the multi-storey car park) Red bus with bus stop signpost Statue on plinth. 3 buildings, two vehicles, one monument. The crane I think is a taster of of construction sets to come, just part of the display or a complete red herring. Quote
Cwetqo Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I think that gas station is separate set and town plan will include just: -bike shop (pizzeria size from previous set) -pizzeria (bike shop size from previos set) -monument (instead of bus stop from first set) -bus (replaces previos bus).

lightningtiger Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Now someone earlier said that the red car feature entering the 4207 was used also last year.....er, no.....that red car had NO 4x8 roof piece in red which is only available this year in that colour.......that car is picture is towing the glider set from 2012. Perhaps if two cars came with the new gas station then it would equal the price of the 2007 one.....maybe......we need to see if that blue van and red hardtop car in/on the 4207 has a license plate sticker saying a 600-- number ? Edit - Now did I do say I look into things......60026 part count - 914 pieces 1,177 Rand which is 129 dollars Australian. Link - http://shop.kiddiwinks.co.za/Release/jun13?product_id=60026 Gee, part of the link gives the release date.....June 2013. Edited February 15, 2013 by lightningtiger Quote

The yellow crane in front of the monument has the set number 60026 as well ( ). So it's either also part of the official set, or it's fan-built like the rest. Quote

So it's either also part of the official set, or it's fan-built like the rest. It's easy to see that it's to go with the statue which then goes with pizza then they can hop on a bike ! I'm still trying to break down the cost of the two buildings and two large vehicles.....even more if the gas station is involved......but I doubt it too now looking long and hard at the images. Remember 2011 saw 3677....surprise, 2012 saw 4207.....another surprise.....so 2013.....maybe gas station ? We knew town centre and coast guard plane were coming.....just not knowing what they looked like. Edit - closely looking at the gas station I saw that the Octan signs on the driveway roof were new.......the old Octan used black (or white depending on background) highlighting around the letters and red/green logo.....the new type does not. I would say that if real it will be a store exclusive as well. Edit 2 - there is a purple 4 wide convertable being towed by the little 4207 tow truck.....said purple car has a number plate.....unable to read it ! Edited February 15, 2013 by lightningtiger Quote

I do belive it is dark red and the same one that comes with 60017. I think I have a closeup on it at home. Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Personally, I'm all for the Gas Station being a stand-alone store exclusive. I'll probably end up with the 60026 anyway, but the gas station is what I've wanted for a good two years now... Deliver, TLG!!! Btw, thanks so much for the pics, eiker86!! Quote
jonwil Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Based on an analysis of the photos, I think the following items are in the new as-yet-unknown set(s) The green street sweeper Possibly the blue station wagon/whatever that's on top of the car garage (I dont think its a rebuild/recolor of any existing car) The yellow crane The red bus The Octan gas station The Bike Shop The red-on-yellow <-o-> bus stop sign (the square item underneath it looks to me like a square clip-on road sign with some sort of bus timetable/schedule/map on it) The knight statue The pizza joint (including the blue outdoor table with the umbrella) The kid on the skateboard with the lime green baseball cap Quote
lightningtiger Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I do belive it is dark red and the same one that comes with 60017. I think I have a closeup on it at home. I looked real close at that car and there is a red one around the corner from it....looks purple to me.....actually I compare my car from 60017 which is dark red plus the car pictured seem to have studs showing for tail lights not slope 30's. Edit - that blue vehicle doesn't use a single 4x8 roof piece, but 2 of the old fashioned 4x4 roof pieces supported by some 1x4 dark bluey grey plates. Edited February 15, 2013 by lightningtiger Quote
kermit Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 I dont think the gas station will be part of this town set because that would mean that the set will go past the $150 mark. That would not be good business given that city is geared more towards kids. The gas station I think will be a stand alone like the garage set. Quote
