Corvus Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 The bag is wide enough to hold a 1 x 1 round plate, but not deep enough to keep the whole thing in. The bag does get in the way of bringing the arm all the way down. You also have to raise his arm all the way up in order to get the bag on.. Aww... I like useful bags. :'-( [*]The hat is perfect. I sooooo want 2000 of those![*]Indy's head is great, and I can see it being very useful. Hopefully a yellow version is made. The Henry head is good too, but it is too good a copy of Sean so I can't see it being as useful... Somehow I got these two comments crossed, and the product came out as: "The has is perfect! I can see it being very useful. Hopefully a yellow version is made." :-$ Though, this is a good idea. If the hat were yellow, I can see it turning into an excellent hat for fisherman, along with a yellow survival suit. Quote
Hinckley Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 So the bag is hollow, then? 8-| I was going to ask if it was solid or hollow. Is it me or have I already answered this several times? It's hollow. ;-) But it has no back and the pouch doesn't open... Quote
Siegfried Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Is there space inside the bag or is it solid? Quote
Corvus Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Is it me or have I already answered this several times? It's hollow. ;-) But it has no back and the pouch doesn't open... Maybe you ought to edit that into every post. P.S.- Again, the bag is hollow, Mr. M! :-P Quote
Scouty Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Is it me or have I already answered this several times? It's hollow. ;-) But it has no back and the pouch doesn't open...

You also have to raise his arm all the way up in order to get the bag on.. I do not recall you mentioning if the bag was hollow or not, before. And it is quite obvious the pouch doesn't open. Who would think that :-P ? In any way, I wanted to make sure X-D . Quote

Scouty Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Oh, okay. I have another question: How good is the attachment of the sidecar to the motorcycle? Sturdywise as well. Edit: Oh, the chasis of the bike is the '+' axel shape. I thought it was just an 'o' shaped one. Thanks! Quote
Dark Brick Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Great review Hinckley. The comic was fantastic. I guess I may have to go back to TRU again after work tomorrow to see if they still have any of the sets left or any others in this series. I probably should have bought at least one last Friday, but I already had so much to buy as it was, but now this review makes it worth while. One other thing, you must live much closer to the Indiana border than I do for you to go to a Merrillville TRU. As for me I am definitely closer to the city limits. I will let you all know if I find any other sets. Cheers DB Quote
The Brick Rat Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks for the great review Hinckley. Am I correct in believing that the box pieces will stack directly on top of each other, so that you can build square columns with them? I am glad to see the new window piece (if it does what I hope it will). Old Windows: Pro: When closed, window panes sit flush against lip inside window frame. Con: Shutter clips sometimes get in the way of building. Train Windows: Pro: No shutter clips to get in the way of building. Con: Lip inside window frame set farther in so that when closed, window panes sometimes get pushed inward. Hopefully the new window frames incorporate the pros of both the old windows and the train windows. Yes? Ken Quote
Hinckley Posted November 30, 2007 Author Posted November 30, 2007 Hopefully the new window frames incorporate the pros of both the old windows and the train windows. Yes?Ken Good point. I believe that is the point. Although to use this mold, new glass and shutter molds would be necessary. But judging by the placement of the holes, there are new molds... Quote
Ras 74 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I love the attention of being asked questions, even if they're repeats. :-$Ok so I have a question as well...Is the bag hollow? Maybe a pic can be in place? I think this issue hasn Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 (edited) Good question; I was about to ask the same. Edit'd, I see now that MM asked the Q before. But a pic would be justifying! Edited November 30, 2007 by trooperdavinfelth Quote
Norro Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Congrats you... ;-) God Bless, Nathan X-D Quote
bruce n h Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Hey, I just skimmed through the thread and I don't think this has been asked already. How tall is the box? Is it 2 bricks, or 1 brick + 2 plates (so that it is 2 bricks with a capping plate)? Bruce Quote
baby Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 you guys are so lucky that the 2008 sets release early. I do not know how long Asia would have to wait. Anyway, is a great review. I like it because there are no DSS. By the way the Indiana Jones website has been set up. Here's the link: http://indianajones.lego.com/en-us/teaser/default.aspx Quote
alex54 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Thanks Hinckley for the review! What a very nice little set! For sure it will be mine! All those new elements are very great! And the new window intrigues me too... Just wait and see... I just hope that I will not find all the sets of this line as good as this one! I don't want to buy them all! :-D Quote

I'm watching that countdown! Watching! Watching! Always watching! :-P Quote
jamtf Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 I do not think the bikes are that great a choice. At least not accurate. They seem to be Honda or Yamaha type motocross bikes instead of historically correct 1930s models. Oh well, an easy replacement from those old 1980s Lego sets with the old light grey motorbikes will get this right. Quote
trooperdavinfelth Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Oh come now... You know Lego is too lazy to make a 30s motorcycle! :-P Quote

For once he was usefull X-D Anyhow I love that face but I'm kind of disapointed that she is not showing her beautifull smile *wub* Maybe its a turnable head, who knows since that sweet hairdo is rather long on the back ;-) And I don't care about your moto rant, I love the new bike and like I posted in my Batreview its a perfect size compared to the way too big racer bike !! I don't care if its kind of too modern for a WWII era bike, its a thing of beauty ;-) G I can't wait for these sets to hit the stores ;-) *yoda* Quote
