Hinckley Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 After all, DJSaulTNutz never did release the names of the sets yes and if he would just soak them in some sugar water they wouldn't be so salty. :-X Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-$ That was pretty spammy of me... Quote
Zzz Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 BATMAN.... I really hope I am wrong but I am afraid legomilk could be right. So far we should have heard something if there were new sets in january! About the video game: it is strange that we haven't seen any trailers already - there even is a trailer to the Indy game that was kinda announced with that. For months we know there will be a Batman game but not even a single picture?? >:-( AND: also if they release it, it is about old sets and villains I guess. Also LSW1 came out when the sets from Ep1 were not available anymore for some years, no? This year there were only two sets which lack a bit of quality imo - and the popular villains are already made... and besides the penguin sub and the 2face van... what popular vehicles were there? Also for Batman everything important was made.... Plus: at least in germany lego is throwing out the Batman theme for 50% off... not a good sign... let us just hope I am totally wrong.. :-D I do so!

Brainbox Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 And that is because Lego's license is based on the batman comics, not the movies. Actually, I believe that the original agreement stated that Lego could draw on any medium in which Batman appeared. So far we should have heard something if there were new sets in january! That doesn't mean we won't get any in Summer, or around the same time as the film release. I think the game's coming out in Summer. And there's plenty more Batman baddies to do: Man-Bat, Ventriloquist/Scarface, Harley Quinn, Lady Shiva, Ra's Al Ghul, and a whole host of other, less-well-known ones. And as for Bat-vehicles, there're more Batmobiles, the Bat-sub, a Bat-bike, a Bat-glider, a Batplane (yes, a Batplane. We've had a Bat-wing, there is a difference), a bike for Robin, etc. And there's always Batcave add-ons. There're a few allies left as well. Jim Gordo, Oracle, Batgirl (yes, I know she's leading the League of Assassins now), Huntress, Black Canary I suppose. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Sounds promising! *sweet* 2008 on *wub* I agree with you, UniqueBuilder! 13 until 15 new Lego City sets in 2008 would be great! Since there will be four new police sets in january, I'm very excited which other sets TLC is going to release in 2008! As I already mentioned I hope for more harbor sets, a town hall, some shops, an office building, a hotel, an apartment house and a cargo train station. ... Let's hope and see! Quote
firefury Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Star Wars and Exo-Force are my most wanted out of the sets anounced so far. But what i realy want is more episode 2 sets. They realy need to get on the ball since there were none this year but all the other episodes got new sets. They realy need more. |-/ Quote
firefury Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Also, what is the name of the battle pack with the rebels, im confused :-/ Quote
Piranha Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Here's what I think City Sets-Awesome can't wait to see the new police line I'm hoping for more civilian sets like grocery stores and such Starwars-Rebel Scout speeder is the name,most likely 4 figs Possible figs included 4 rebels 3 rebels 1 snowtrooper 4 snowtroopers 2 rebels 2 snowies(most likely gonna happen) 3 snowies 1 rebel A lame generic speeder bike,maybe a turret or blaster cannon of some sort Indy-Sweet!! 8- Quote
xwingyoda Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 pirate sets ??? Oh that would be sooo sweeeeeeeet !! I would need at least a barril of rum to celebrate ;-) 8-12 starwars sets are you talking about january only ? We already know about the 6 january one and DJ was talking about 2 exclusive sets (probably in january as well ??) - so that makes 8 sets !! I really doubt Lego will release during the may wave + later wave (august till september) only 4 sets: that seems really low !! In '07 May saw 3 sets, and later wave will have 5 sets !! 2009 more Lego video games.Caslte set 7036 in VS october 2007 and in the world 2008. :'-) New Video games ? that is really cool !! I always love Lego video games !! They are as cool as funny *y* What do you mean VS ?? So the dwarf mine will come to that VS (country I imagine) before and in january for the rest of the world ? VS doesn't really sound like France >:-( yes and if he would just soak them in some sugar water they wouldn't be so salty. :-X Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-$ That was pretty spammy of me... G who made that guy a Fellow X-D :-P Hurray for '08 !! *yoda* Quote

Stealth Hunter Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 This year is SW 30th anniversary, so we should expect lots of SW setsNext year isn't so expect fewer *sad* You are not wrong,but I hope that there will be many SW sets ;-) ! And also I hope some Vehicles for the Droids(CIS homing spider droid for example). Quote

Siegfried Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I thought y'all might like to see this. Well I certianly do! *sweet* I am still not convinced it is real though. This photo is good enought to make out the number; 8495, and it is clear enough that I am sure that there is a Technic man in there. As much as I want this to be true I am still not converted. Quote
Sir Dillon Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 I hope it's real, but I'm leaning towards fake. There's a technic figure in it, and there hasn't been one of them in a set for a while. It also appears to be a figure that has appeared in previous sets, and he seems like an unlikely choice for TLC to bring back. The picture is the only thing in the user's brickshelf gallery, which may not mean anything, but it seems a little suspicious. Quote

Yes. I agree 100%. That is pretty much the reason why I think it is fake too. (I have that exact man. I take him everywhere! :-$ ) Quote

Siegfried Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 A fake lego set? Who would do this? Someone who thinks it is funny, or someone who just made the picture because they think it is cool. But it has happened before, many times. Quote
MatthewUSA Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 I was hoping to see other "City" sets other than Police. I hope there will be more to come. I can't wait to see what the Indy Jones sets will look like. I hope they are not cheap looking. I am curious about the impulse theme as well. I can't wait to see what they look like too. Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Since I'm not interested in the new 2008 police sets I decided to speculate about the other City sets (I think there will be more than only the police sets in 2008) coming in 2008:Since TLC released a gas station this year, it would be consequent that there will be a fuel tanker (as truck) next year. Since Lego continued the Train theme of last year with a passenger train station this year there might be a cargo train station like http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/4555-1?showpic=6840 or http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/4557-1?showpic=6905 coming out in 2008. Since TLC always released a new level crossing when there came out some new trains, a new level crossing might be possible, too. Since TLC is going to release some harbor extension bricks in 2008 (was mentioned some pages ago), it would be consequent that there will be a new harbor set like a depot, too. (A set like this would be universal adaptable for the harbor, the train and the "normal" city theme, too.) Since TLC is on its right way to release classic themed sets in new style (for example the airport sets last year and the harbor sets this year) TLC surely will continue with this decision, I think. Consequently some sets like a new main street similar to http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/6390-1?showpic=1989 , a new bank similar to http://www.peeron.com/inv/sets/1490-1?showpic=7633 , a hotel and some shops might be possible. After my opinion a set like a main street will come out in the next years - in order to give more action to it perhaps with a bank, a shop, a police car, another car, a burglar, two police men and some other citizens. What do you think? But pleace notice that these things I wrote above are only my wishes, ideas and thoughts according to new 2008 Lego City sets and no official or unofficial information! I thought again about this comment above I wrote down in this topic some days ago and now I have to addit something: In addition to the gas station this year I think not only a fuel tanker (as truck) but even a tow-car and a garage might be possible. In addition to the new harbor theme this year there might be a lifeboat and a rescue base (as harbor for the lifeboat) possible. Quote
xwingyoda Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 I don't think january will only see the coming of only those police sets, that would be really odd and annoying to city fans !! No it can't be !! It realy can't :-D I know what I would love: nearly everything that Duplo did lately: Farm and Zoo + upcomming supermarket !! However I doubt to see that anytime soon :-/ In addition to the gas station this year I think not only a fuel tanker (as truck) but even a tow-car and a garage might be possible.In addition to the new harbor theme this year there might be a lifeboat and a rescue base (as harbor for the lifeboat) possible. I would clearly love those sets especially all these harbour sets *wub* It would be strange to have one harbour set |-/ so even if its not gonna happen in january there is still that big may batch 8- Quote
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted August 8, 2007 Eurobricks Emperor Posted August 8, 2007 pirate sets ??? I really hope we can remove those question marks soon !! Keep us informed... Quote
natelite Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 A zoo would be nice. Then I can recreate the central park zoo and the scene from the animated movie madagascar! "I like to move it move it!" Quote
Shakar Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 More castle sets. nr.7036pirate sets ??? Hopefully there will be more Castle sets other than 7036. New pirate sets?! I'm definately hoping that this is true. You are a very reliable source. I'm counting on you for this. :-) Shakar Quote
Brainbox Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Someone who thinks it is funny, or someone who just made the picture because they think it is cool. But it has happened before, many times. Perhaps if people learned to put 'This is a fake' or 'This is not a real set' on their fake set mock-ups. Then we'd all know. Quote
