Mirandir Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Regarding the pilot in Arial Defence Unit I think it's just Trace with the wrong hairpiece. As have been said several times already you need to remember that the pics are preliminary and are subject to changes. Algernon posted it and was told to remove it... We aren't allowed to post confidential pictures as Lego's competitors can steal the designs or make a rival theme (or so I've heard) the pictures do rock though, and the past few posts have been discussing them.Just a heads up to help a newbie avoid trouble The ban regards posting the actual pictures not linking to them on another site. And I think that if a competitor wanted to steal the designs they would rather get their hands on the retailer catalogue. The catalogue contains pretty much every set released a certain year, excluding the exclusive ones, and I believe it's sent out during summer the year before. So it'll be available way before we get any leaks, most leaks we see comes from this catalogue anyway. However I do agree with the argument that seeing pictures of comming sets may keep people from buying the current ones. But all this is an offtopic discussion that belongs in a thread of it's own.
Peppermint_M Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Ah yes, but Algernon had to remove his link with an edit proclaiming that confidential pictures cannot be linked to or posted. Oh, I am so looking forward to the new Agents lego!!! My plans for modifications and expansion of certain sets are going well and all that Inferno equipment will be a welcome addition. Roll on summer!!
Algernon Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Now that I think about it, Hinkley didn't ask me to remove any links, I just did it because it seemed like common sense.
Raphy Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) For you Star Wars freaks ;) http://www.flickr.com/photos/sirdano/ The mini Falcon and some other SW set I haven't seen. Yes, even I track the new SW sets Edited February 13, 2009 by Raphy
Buttons Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Is that not Sir Dano's flickr? If it is I am sure he would have shown us by now If not, great find
Raphy Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Dude, don't give credit to me. Just passin' it on. And yeah, that's Dano's photostream. Man that dude reeks of information sometimes, doesn't he?? lol!
Dennimator Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Im soo dissappointed on that Millennium Falcon. I was hoping for at least a ´mini-minifig scale´, but this... this is bad. The pirate one´, however, is better. It looks kinda wierd, but after all it is a prelim (and blurry), and they might change some things. I´ll probably be getting one of that set.
The Cobra Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Italy seems to like 2009 sets; some of them are already sold out in a few shops. From what I saw, best sellers are the Loot Isalnd (Pirates), the Granite grinder (Power miners) and the smallest constructions sets, Front-end loader and Dump truck.
Sir Dano Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 If it is I am sure he would have shown us by now I didn't show you guys because I got them from the Star Wars thread.
cagri Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I uploaded soem prelim images I found: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=368513 (when public)
The Cobra Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Are these new? (Brickshelf find: Nascar promo)
Brickthing Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Are these new? (Brickshelf find: Nascar promo) I haven't seen those before...They look like some kind of restaurant kid's meal promo.
mania3 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I haven't seen those before...They look like some kind of restaurant kid's meal promo. This is what I am thinking as well.
Oky Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 So... There was no sign of the Lego board games at ToyFair? A pitty. I was almost certain they would be there and was looking forward for pics of the games we don't know about yet, but I guess not. Are these new? Not to me. I saw an ad for these on TV a few days ago and was going to post it, but I forgot which restaurant it was, so I didn't post it. I wonder if they are compatible with real Lego.

They will not be released in America, so it is unlikely that they would be shown at an American toy fair.

I did not know that. Too bad, I liked the look of them. Oh well, I don't need another theme (if that's what you can call them) to eat up my money anyway. Edited February 16, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi

Oh well, I don't need another theme (if that's what you can call them) to eat up my money anyway. My sentiments exactly. They look cool, but I made a spreadsheet with all the costs of the announced sets today from the toy fair that I wish to purchase. I'm at $1,500 for August releases.
dhaas06 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Are these new? (Brickshelf find: Nascar promo) These are included inside different varieties of General Mills cereals. (I have a couple already.) They are only two pieces each, the bottom chassis and the big top piece that attaches to 6 studs. While the studs are compatible with regular system bricks, the plastic seems cheaper and kind of Megablokish. Maybe this is just me, I don't know. At least the studs do have the Lego logo stamped on them!
Oky Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I made a spreadsheet with all the costs of the announced sets today from the toy fair that I wish to purchase. I'm at $1,500 for August releases. Ouch! Well I just made a list too, and there are $455 worth of SW sets I want to buy for sure this year (not including the Clone BP which I don't know how many I want yet), plus Turbo Car Chase, Gold Tooth Getaway, and Ambush in Cairo which are worth over $70! Also, there are a few sets I'd like to get, but pay the lowest price for (like the AT-OT with Dropship or Venice Chase), so I'll get those as soon as their prices drop. But I will only buy all my Lego as soon as I have a Disneyland Annual Pass and get 10% off in the Lego Store (which I should have by summer). Still, it's good that I don't have to buy those boardgames too.

5150 Lego Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 After seeing the video of the the Agents airial defence, its a defenat must have for me. I'm happy to see that the rotors are infact conected so they don't slap against each other. And the fact than they spin by the rear thumb control is incredible! The size is actually nice too! not overly big like the hellocopter in dino attack, but not to small either.
Buttons Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 The mechanism in the rotors looks very similar to the one used in the Helicopter in the 4403 Air Blazers set a few years back. Like this...
