  1. Thanks for the review. This one was missing in the Review Index. A good review for a fine set. Thanks
  2. Thanks for the review I've added it to the index. Will I be getting this? Hell yes!
  3. Nice work. I'll index this beauty when I get back from the Holidays
  4. Price rant topic CLOSED
  5. Awesome review. This is one of my favourite new castle sets and your review makes it perfect. I like the idea of the orcs and trolls building this
  6. This belongs in the picture and rumor topic - so I'll move it there.
  7. Opened on request
  8. Nothing odd about that. Preliminary and confidential pictures are protected by law. If a retailer allows the reproduction of pictures in a catalog that he isn't allowed to le anyone see, then he/she violates some laws. We have no lust to engage in a lawsuit discussion with TLG and thus such pictures are removed. When pictures are deeplinked on Eurobricks, then our cache hosts them and that's the violation. Let me say this as clear as possible: No deeplinked images of illegal pictures. [notch notch, know what I mean?!, eh?!] I have to go now. But I'll be back in a few hours to check on you
  9. Not could-be. It is.
  10. Hilarious and well done. Really puts you in the X-Mas spirit. Thanks. I'll index this right away :laugh:

    Another alphabetical craft from the master. Great MOCing as usual. Indexed
  12. Awesome work. I wish I had a Tie like that, or a car...heck I wish my bicycle looked like that. Indexed
  13. Making topics intended for me to close wont have the effect you're looking for. Unless you want me to ban you. This topic is moved to the community.
  14. Didn't he say "Preliminary pictures" in a "Retailer Catalog" The decription sounds fair to me and I'm sure they're liable to change when the non-preliminary/finished sets are released. Thanks for the elaborate walkthrough and I for one am looking forward to the return of skeletons and the white skeleton horse.
  15. Moved... ..and closed
  16. Thanks Mutley I've added a poll and indexed the review. Great pics I'll be sure to buy this set at least once.
  17. Mutley does a fine review of the Assassin Droids Battle Pack 8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack Picture is link!
  18. Yes and unfortunately they've added the "Age:____" to the response part. No matter , I'll still enter and get sorted out. I'm pretty sure they remove grown-ups from this...even though it doesn't say so. I've never heard of an AFOL winning anything like this before.
  19. In some of the Danish toystores this is what's done to promote the new Construction sets: Spot the different tyre/tread types and win 1 in 10 of the sets on the last page. A nice way to see some of the new sets in their natural habitat High-resolution pics can be found >here< when public.
  20. This one I found in Germany. I am at my In-Laws for the holiday and crossed the border for some cheap booze and candy when I stumbled on this and the 8401 City People.
  21. Set info: Set#: 7631 Set name: Dump Truck Theme: City/Construction Pieces: 185 Minifigs: 1 Construction Worker Price: EUR 19.99 / ? GBP / 19.99 USD Year of release: 2009 Bricklink Catalog Brickshelf Folder Adding the the growing subtheme of construction this Dump Truck will surely hit many dirt roads in kids' rooms around the globe. It's yellow and carry boulders - what's not to like about it? Box Front A nice picture with a good background, binding the dirty construction work to the town. "Yeehaaa! Let's fetch'em boulders for the construction site mateee!" "Yehaaaaaaa! That's a 10-4" "Yehaaa! Over & Out" "Yehaa" Back of the Box Some nice pictures showing the Dump Truck from different angles and the unloading of boulders. Also depicts the 2 polybags within the box and how they are divided into two build sessions. Box side More neat box art for us to enjoy. The polybags and instruction 2 Numbered polybags, single booklet instruction and a small stickersheet. Instructions For once it's fairly easy to distinguish between light-grey, dark-grey and black. Easy to follow and the subdivision of the build into two bags really eases the build. And bearing in mind that this is a set aged 5-12, then it's very suitable. One could mix all the bricks to make the build a little more challenging. The end pages has some interesting pictures/playscenes from the subthemes; construction & farm. Inventory pages (Better resolution pictures can be found in the brickshelf folder when public) Same ol' same ol' AC-Nielsen Sticker Sheet 7631 numberings for the Dump Truck (I did not use those) Red/white stripes for the fence. Constructionwork ahead!-sign. - Gotta love that minifig and his shovel The build - Bag One A smooth ride describes transforming Bag One's parts into: a roadsign, 2 boulders, the driver, the fence, 2 orange warning lamps and the wheelless Dump Truck chassis and cabin. Guided by the easy step by step instruction, this is a build quickly done. The Dump Truck has plenty of greeble and the design is near perfect in the transaction from "real life" to "minifig size". I may be wrong, but this is just my humble opinion Personal favourites are: 1: The engine front, grill and exhaust. 2: The side-view mirrors. 3: The roof not being the hinged type. This is a very neat way to do the roofing, I am getting tired of those hinged roofs and this is a good solution. Doors would have been better, but this'll do just fine. The build - Bag Two Again a smooth build. The chassis is finished and the tipper function and top is added. The sides are nealty designed ands the overall look is very smooth Is this a new wheel? I don't recall seeing it before? The Truckdriver A classic by now. One thing that puzzles me is where to keep his black shovel when driving? The Dump Truck The Dump Truck in all it's glory. Talk about playability The verdict: 8/10 Price - a good set for the money. 8/10 Parts - a wide selection of useable yellow. 6 wheels, boulders, plates and so on. 9/10 Design - "Smoooth 10-4" 10/10 Playability - It tips, it turns, it rocks 10/10 Coherence - Perfect. This will melt right in along the rest of the construction sub-theme sets. 45/50 All in all - A Classic Town Vehicle is born.
  22. I've added the guessed EUR prices by Klaus-Dieter. Now we need some smart US and UK guy/gal to reason their prices.
  23. Thanks for the review Dunamis. As usual you're in depth I've added a poll and added the review to the index as "Review2" on 8019 RAS
  24. 4 or 5 by the looks of it.
  25. By all means do so. A 2nd and 3rd review are always more than welcome. Also reviewing the other new CW sets would be awesome.
