Should have been like this:

Or at least thats what I thoght they were going to be. :-/

Man that is such a nice pic! Thanks VBBN! It's so interesting to look back a few decades to see how they advertised. We can see the primitive stars, isolated trees, and all the lego people together *wub*

Of course I'm glad the impulse sets don't just sell two minfgs and two accessories. That being said, look at the marketing scheme, the box art is sweet :-P .

I like the little acsessories they come with. I've seen these before: now playmobil sells individual figures just like that! X-D

I *wub* these!

Bring them back TLC! *sing*

Thanks for the pic too!

TTFN! >:-)

Looks like Bill and Mary's house in the background.

Great find.

These are the other sets:

Enjoy!

Wow! I wish they had these now. Minifigs are becoming less and less frequent per set. *wub*

Actually I prefer the new ones and I think the current minfig number per set is good. It doesn't take long to have too many of a certain minifig. I have more than enough construction figures for example....

1 minifig per set is enough as you sometimes need only particular (at least i do), but there could be more packages; maybe a town folks minifigs :)

As these sets are kinda ql looking at...the times when everything of LEGO was great...

I agree, the old impulses are nice, if all you're looking for is MFs and a few accessories, but the new ones are better, in my view, because, other than a very selective MF, you also get bricks (some even new, like the round 4 studs plate), very useful to build MOCs with, and not too expensive.

Ditto. I too prefer the new impulse-sets. Not only because they are sets focused around the minifig itself, but even comes with a bit of acessory, to increase play value.

The old set pictured above is just "two figures with nothing", as most kids would see. There's no extra punch in it, and while it may have worked then, not a chance it would work today.

Let's face it, low priced sets are always going to be limited in their scope.

I think this round is pretty good, but ultimately, what we really want are these:

We're finally getting them in Star Wars, let's hope other themes follow eventually.

I don't really like those old Impulse's.

The new ones I do indeed *sweet*

But, like Imperialshadows, I prefer a group of figs, with a few accesoires. *wub*

I used to always say the same thing, but as of late I have changed my mind. My only real complaint is that they need to sell more sets with female heads in them. Obviously though if Lego brought out those exact packs I would buy them in half second... :-D

we miss females yes...i have 9 of them only...and 100 men...so it's 1to10 ratio...like the bosnian population after war...

Oh, don't even get me started on that one. I still want a city women pack.

What's in there, you ask? I'm glad you did! ;-)

2 working girls. One along the lines of a mail carrier (with Indy's manbag), shop keeper, or waitress (carrying a whole damn turkey! *wub*) for Cafe Corner, the other with a less clearly defined occupation and a halter top, perhaps being hit on by some turkey *sweet* 8-|

Ok, ok, I know... :-| I hereby apologize to the entire female population of the planet.

Hookers Working Girls On! *y*

You seem to be obsessed by turkeys, imperialshadows :-P

I agree, we need more female MF. I have about 100+ MF (not counting old plain-faced ones, with only hairs to tell male from female), and only 6 are female |-/ .

I'd certainly like to see more MF sets with 5+ figs - especially female civilians. I bought the Community Workers set a couple of years back (expensive but fun) and hoped for females within it.

I'm certainly going to be buying multiples of the Impulse sets and like the balance of bricks/accessories that go with the fig(s). They seem to give more meaning an playability to each of the characters

More women?

Perhaps Lego should do a 'Desperate Housewives' minifig pack! It would sell like hotcakes!
