Posted July 20, 200717 yr Hi guys. I've read a little about the '08 police line, but I was wondering if I should wait for a new station, or get the current one. What do you think of the station at the moment? Thanks, - Poomie
July 20, 200717 yr Well I got it recently and I like it, but it does depend on what you want. I wanted more crims, dogs, policemen, the pre-fab chopper parts, another bike, etc. I even wanted the big chunky base. In short, I wanted it mainly for the parts. However, design wise I still like it, the only thing that I don't like is the chopper platform as I think it is silly and fragile. IMHO I think the new one will not have a big base and probably not be as <insert that tiresome argument>, and when you factor that in with the price it could be big. Look at the design of the new Train Station; I wouldn't be surprised if the new Police station will be as nice looking as that. In short; if you think the design of the new fire and train station are much better than the hospital and current police station I recomend you wait. But don't blame me if it priced that high because it has something silly like sound effects! Maybe you should wait. I can't see it vanishing altogether in a hurry. Edited July 20, 200717 yr by Sinner

I keep hereing from people that they feel that the current police station is too "<insert that tiresome argument>". I really dont get it. while i don't have one myself, it looks like it has a very nice design with some cool features. I personally think its the best poilce station we've had yet. I'm curious to how lego will beat this one.

I'm curious to how lego will beat this one. Don't get me wrong, I do like the set! I also think that it is the best one ever and it's why I bought it, even though it is over priced in Australia. I was just trying to give an un-biased opinion.

Then, my local Target decided to have 20% off Lego and the current Police Station was on sale, so I put it on lay-by and figured my dilemma had been sorted out! :-) It's going to be hard to keep it in the box though; I'm waiting to see what the new one looks like. If I like the new one, then the current on is going to eBay! Either way, I reckon I've had a win and the Mrs doesn't mind as well, which I reckon is half the battle won! :-D
July 22, 200717 yr Author Damn; you gotta love Target =P Which we don't get over here. Hmm, I'm thinking that I might get the set, and not wait for the 2008 one, because I'll also be getting some road pieces. Besides; Hawkston will be overrun by baddies if I don't. I might get the 2008 set aswell, and redesign the police station, mixing the two sets, thus making a mega police station! Muhahahahahahaha! Bah, I'm too mad :-D - Poomie
July 23, 200717 yr I noticed today that eBay Australia had a 7237 at auction with five days to go at about $AU30 or there-abouts. I can't search for you here at work, maybe you could google it. I'll try and post a link tomorrow after work if you like.
July 24, 200717 yr For what its worth, here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LEGO-City-Police-St...1QQcmdZViewItem I don't think it's quite the bargain now; $AU70 with three days to go. Oh well! :-$
July 24, 200717 yr Author Thanks for the links; but it's way out of my league now. Well I just got some more cash today, so hopefully I'll be able to get it from S@H this weekend. - Poomie
