Aanchir Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Description and features of new fan Transportaton set from Toysrus.ca: Chosen by LEGO fans, this transport station is packed with details and a lot of great new vehicles. Catch the tram at the LEGO City station or hop on the city bus to reach your final destination. Buy something at the kiosk while you wait! And help keep the city clean by brushing the garbage with the street sweeper or go cruising in the cool sports car. •Includes 6 minifigures: bus driver, tram driver, bicyclist, shop assistant, garbage truck driver and passenger •City tram features rooms for 6 passengers, driver's seat at both ends, opening doors and is compatible with LEGO train tracks Should be interesting to see how it is compatible with LEGO train tracks. Old news. Check this post by Grogall to see high-res images of the set which reveal all the stuff you just described. The tram uses these wheels. Quote
brickzone Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 8403 Lego City House is showing up as available in Smyths Toy stores in Ireland on their online catalogue. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks for the heads up 'brickzone' Here's a direct link to that page.....Lego city house 8403 It's an exclusive to this Smyths, as like in Australia it will be an exclusive to Toyworld, but then what about the rest of the world ? I'm a conformist! ! Quote

lightningtiger Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I just checked and it's in stores at my local store! Guess what set I'm buying next Well if you do and it' real soon, you could review it for us ! Isn't interesting which particular sets are general release and which are exclusive, I feel Lego have failed here. In Oz it's mainly country areas which have Toyworld stores and if you can find a mega-size one in the city you'll be lucky - this house set should have been a general release in all the retailiers not just one ! Anyway, I'm a conformist! ! Quote

GRogall Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Well, My local Toys R Us has as well as..... in stock..... So they should be available soon at a Toys R us near you! Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks for the info 'grogall' - have you considered doing any reviews for us ? I'm a conformist! ! Quote
GRogall Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Thanks for the info 'grogall' - have you considered doing any reviews for us ? I'm a conformist! ! I didn't buy 8404, Would rather wait till my Lego Store has it so I can get the VIP points. I did purchase 7848 but only because it's an exclusive, don't want to open it. I did however take a picture of the back of the box from 8404. Excuse the finger and the slightly blurry pic! Quote
SirWacky Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Ooohhh! I like that transportation center And I love the TRU too! But the question is... To buy or not to buy? Quote
jonwil Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Damn, if TRU in Germany are selling the public transport set at 69.99€ then TRU in Australia will be selling it for somewhere north of $150 or so most likely :( Quote
Rick Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Damn, if TRU in Germany are selling the public transport set at 69.99€ then TRU in Australia will be selling it for somewhere north of $150 or so most likely :( Before we get more speculation, that's the price of the 6753 Creator car transporter (look closely at the tag). The price for 8404 Public Transportation Center was €100 if I recall correctly. Quote
Derek Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I did however take a picture of the back of the box from 8404. Excuse the finger and the slightly blurry pic! I love how the shouting minfigure appears yet again in the top right corner... Quote
jonwil Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Bah, 100€ means its going to be even MORE expensive here in .au :( Especially since its a TRU exclusive. Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 I have been told months ago and I think I did post it that 159 bucks Aussie would be the price for 8404 and 59 bucks for the TRU truck'n'shop ! For me I will be buying both for my son and keeping the boxes somewhere safe while he plays with it all ! Thanks 'grogall' for the back of the box picture, wow 9 bags ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote
Nebsirob Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) I just came back from our local Toys'R'Us, which also had the Public Transport (99 €), and the Toys'R'Us-Truchk (29,95 €). I bought the Truck, and will write a review during the next hours (my camera´s batteries are still charging). Edited July 10, 2010 by Nebsirob Quote
jonwil Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 If anyone obtains the City House, City Public Transport or Toys R Us Truck, I would very much like it if they could provide a parts inventory of the set (e.g. a photograph of the instruction manual pages containing the parts list) Oh and 160AUD for the City Public Transport. Yet more evidence that LEGO continues to increase their cross subsidization of the US market at the expense of the rest of the world. Quote

I'm a conformist! ! Oh, yeah I can't wait to see your review 'Nebsirob'.....again I'm a conformist! ! Edited July 10, 2010 by lightningtiger Quote
legomilk Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 toys r us german 7848 €.29,99 and 8404 €.99,99 now in toys r us. Quote
GRogall Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Damn, if TRU in Germany are selling the public transport set at 69.99€ then TRU in Australia will be selling it for somewhere north of $150 or so most likely :( Oh! Yes, sorry I had to move the box up a shelf to take the picture, the set cost €99.99 and not €69.99. Also strange when I asked about 8403 say said it wasn't listed in there database!? Quote
GRogall Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) By the way, I'm not sure if anyone knows this but the three buildings in set 7633, 7641 and 8403 all have interchangeable floors. example. you can take the ground floor from 8403 and then ad the middle floor from 7633 and the roof from 8403 or 7641. All of these fit together. HR pics of the three sets. I think this was a great idea from Lego! wander what they will add next? Oh, just found a picture of what I mean! Edited July 10, 2010 by grogall Quote
Fugazi Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Very interesting! Now I see why they chose such boring colours for 8403, they had to match the previous two sets so they all look good together! Good thinking! Thanks for all the great pics and info grogall! Quote
lightningtiger Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Yep, the local painter drinks a lot ! The house being turned into a 4 or 5 storey mismatch of colours/tones, meh ! But the Pizza shop and the shop of unknown goods actually looks better though ! A very Lego idea, eh ? I'm a conformist! ! Quote
SirWacky Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Haha that actually looks kinda cool! Except the tall one that just looks Quote
VBBN Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 Its a dream, but I wish that ToyrRus/Lego Truck set gets recolored into a Target truck. Quote
