January 16, 200817 yr Thank you very much for the pics, Tyranide! But I've got two questions: Why don't the new two Castle Impulse sets (the skeletton with the skeletton horse and the knight with the catapult) and the Castle advent calendar appear in this catalogue? Will there be a City advent calendar this year, too?
January 16, 200817 yr Thanks for these pics! Sadly, batman is not showing his head yet :'-( The agents line looks alright, some of it looks bad, other bits really good. I think might get some of the smaller sets. Batbrick is Back! >:-)
January 16, 200817 yr Circus and cavemen and farm and zoo? Why does Duplo get all the best themes? Anyone of those in minifig scale would be wonderful. Wish the belville pictures were bigger. I'm still hoping for a full turkey... Thought this might help to: p.1-3 Introduction p.4-15 Duplo p.16-21 Creator p.22-25 Technic & Mindstorms p.26-27 Belville p.28 Theme Introduction p.29-34 Town p.35 Trains p.36-37 Impulse p.38-39 Castle p.40-41 Agents p.42 Exoforce p.43-44 Indy p.45-49 Star Wars p.50 Bionicle & Racer's Intro p.51-55 Racers p.56-57 Ferarri p.58-63 Bionicle Steve
January 17, 200817 yr NOOOO! The beautiful Indy set pics... aren't there! I wanted to see the jungle duel... :'-( But, there is other stuff... like Bionicle, which I think looks good, cept for Tahu. But Star Wars sure looks great! But where is the rest of the EF sets? Agents looks pretty good too. 2008 On. *y* -ZotS
January 17, 200817 yr I'm thinking that the retailer catalogs may be localized to only display items that will be available for sale within that region, so a retailer catalog from a different country possibly displays additional sets as well. As a side note; looks like Ctiy-Airport wasn't a big seller, gone after two years - normal cycle is three.
January 17, 200817 yr Author Well. This catalogue is the one distributed in Russia... but that doesn't explain why there's Indy pics, since there'll be no Indy in our country. One of the biggest LEGO shops on my city scanned this one, not me, so I can't take bigger or better pictures. I'll try, of coursse, but I can't promise anything.
January 19, 200817 yr thanks Tyranide. I looked releasing dates. there was writed that castle sets release in may, but in finnish catalogue, releasing date is april. what is releasing date in other countries?
January 19, 200817 yr Circus and cavemen and farm and zoo? Why does Duplo get all the best themes? Anyone of those in minifig scale would be wonderful. Apparently TLG thinks we lose all interest in nice, peaceful themes when we turn 6, or whatever the top end of the Duplo age range is. Though I could skip both circus and cavemen, assuming zoo included all of the circus animals. Wish the belville pictures were bigger. I'm still hoping for a full turkey... ... and a pony. :'-(
January 19, 200817 yr Author thanks Tyranide.I looked releasing dates. there was writed that castle sets release in may, but in finnish catalogue, releasing date is april. what is releasing date in other countries? Well, then release date is month before the date listed in this catalogue. I think so because Phantoka release date here is February (I really, really will be one of the first Russians to get'em... jst go to the shop on 1st February morning...)
January 19, 200817 yr Isn't that this set?http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sam89/20...nes_-_river.jpg No, actually I think he means the smallest set, with the tent and camp We had only one picture so far, the high quality one is absent though 7678 Droid Gunship (or TIE Defender)7679 Fighter Tank TX 130S 7680 Twilight 7681 Homing Spider Droid Lets not forget 10188, the Death Star! 8-
January 20, 200817 yr I still wonder what those 4 hidden Indies are going to be like. TLC stop surprising us!
January 20, 200817 yr I still wonder what those 4 hidden Indies are going to be like. TLC stop surprising us! Have you see these pics? Jungle Duel River Chase Jungle Cutter Temple of the Crystal Skull Those are the four 'hidden' sets.
January 20, 200817 yr Thanks for the pics. I guess it's nice to see everythnig in one place. That is, everything that is shown. Sadly, there're still the other two Batman sets to be revealed pisture-wise, and the other bits and pieces people have mentioned. It's really looking like a fantastic year.
January 20, 200817 yr Wow...thanks a ton! Finally have a pic of the Creator Steg...and I'm in love *wub* I honestly don't think this is everything. Quite a few Star Wars and Batman, a Bionicle or two, and I believe I remember a couple more Coast Guard sets listed somewhere (like a platform of some kind). Plus, there's always the retailer exclusive holiday sets like Target usually gets. And does anyone but me think LEGO might be done with Exo-Force as a marquee theme?
January 20, 200817 yr Hey all. I am a new collector, coming back to lego after being gone for many, many years. My two boys have gotten me seriously interested again. Anywho, disclaimer of NOOB status completed, I have what will sound like a silly question. There are a few sets in this catalog that show mid year 2008 release dates, but I have already seen them previously. The one I am thinking of is 7036 Dwarves' Mine. Is it being re-released? Thanks ahead for reading. Ch
January 20, 200817 yr I think the Mine will be rolled out with the rest of the new Castle sets this spring seeing as its in all the listings. It almost seems as if LEGO is testing the waters for the new sets by releasing them as a couple of retailer exclusives first (The mine for Target, and the Wheel for TRU).
January 20, 200817 yr And does anyone but me think LEGO might be done with Exo-Force as a marquee theme? It's a possibility, but I wouldn't count it out quite yet, since this catalog is missing other stuff as well, like the large Coast Guard 4X4 and several summe starwars kits. ;-)
