Ricecracker Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I bought few days ago two sets. They are: Farm Tractor 7634, and new 8402 City car. The tractor is mine, but car belongs to my friend. So, don't ask for pictures of this red sporty thing ;) Was that a case of "sets falling out of a truck"? No matter how you got it, I'm envious.... Quote
Svelte Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Was that a case of "sets falling out of a truck"? No matter how you got it, I'm envious.... More like fell out of the back of the Czech factory (It's a Euro release - no piece counts.) Interesting that they're apparently in production so early. Quote

Was that the place that had the issue of poor security? I wouldn't have thought that they would be in production so early either.... Quote
Svelte Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Was that the place that had the issue of poor security? I wouldn't have thought that they would be in production so early either.... Yes - it's also where the recent Emerald Night leak came from, reviewed on another European website, so obviously security hasn't improved that much. Maybe we'll get early releases of the new City line from S@H? I guess it's possible. Normally they tend to do a whole lot of simultaneous releases around June, so maybe they're just warehousing the sets until then. Quote

I guess it's possible. Normally they tend to do a whole lot of simultaneous releases around June, so maybe they're just warehousing the sets until then. I never really thought about it, but maybe they produce the sets in advance, and have them stockpiled by the retailers so that in case of shipping delays, they're still ready for June/August (When sets generally get released). Any ideas? Quote
Darth_Legois Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 x2 Soldiers Impulse x1 Pirate Survival x1 Chicken Seller $6 each at Toyworld [i actually got these weeks ago but forgot to post ] Love those new soldiers Quote

Any ideas? Close. They produce them in advance, stockpile them in their own distribution centres, and approx. a week or two in advance of the launch date, they start distributing the new sets to the retailers, who will immediatelly start selling them. [/off-topic] Uhm, I am yet to buy any LEGO today. But then again it's just noon. Quote
Guss Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 I bought 2 sets I didn't need because I had "-40chf on toys" in a supermarket^^ here they are : the 8957 and the 8630 Quote
M_longer Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 Where did you find that car? Those didnt come out yet! (or did they?) I found it on auction. The seller had two 7634 and three 8402. All of them was in MISB condition. So it's possible that those 8402 leaked from Kladno factory. I don't like look of that convertible, but my friend asked me to buy for him one of them ;) Quote
ILikePi Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 My mom bought me Cheerios cereal with the LEGO Racers promotional cars today. I got the number 33 Cheerios racer! Now I only need one car... If you don't know what I'm talking about, click the link in my signature (the latest review one). Quote
ForceMaster Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 My recent purchases : 8015 : Assassin Droids Battle Pack 8018 : Armored Assault Tank (AAT) 8956 : Stone Chopper 8957 : Mine Mech 8958 : Granite Grinder 8960 : Thunder Driller Brilliant sets! Miners nice and compact. Only here DSS are hard enough glued... Quote
MetroiD Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Ah, two beautiful boxes sitting right here next to me: 7733 Truck & Forklift & 7993 Service Station I'm absolutely thrilled! I can still remember how badly I wanted the Service Station from the early 90s, but it was never sold here in Bulgaria... Hand on heart, I can now say - this one's so much better! The black bike puts the icing on the cake, especially considering my growing bikers' gang ;) As to the truck - I was wondering whether to get this or the Garbage Truck, but the forklift is just too good to miss out on. Besides, any gas station needs a truck (AND a trucker!) as a regular customer... Quote
Darth_Legois Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 So Myer has "Buy 2 Toys get a 3rd FREE" [The cheapest being the 3rd] Untill the 29th Of March. So I got the Construction Front-End Loader, Clone BP[My second] & a Assasin Droid BP. All up it was $39.90 So yeah a pretty good day. Quote
CloneMe Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Well yesterday I bought the new Armored Assault Tank (AAT Star Wars). And tommorow I will be buying the Assassin droid battle pack and the Clone walker battle pack. And hopefully in about a week I will be buying the new 10195 AT-OT and Dropship. Quote
Natman8000 Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I was fortunate enough to buy a stone chopper the other day. Its a nice little set and the best part is the minifig. I love the double sided heads. Quote
yellost Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I found a Sandcrawler on Ebay. Unfortunately I won't have time to buid it until quite a while... But I did have a look at the minifig and BEHOLD! there were no less than 6 jawas instead of just 3... And I have to say the new darker 3PO is quite nice... I didn't even know there was a new version (except for the chrome one and so but still...) there even was 3 more heads, too Really nice surprise. Now I just have to find time to build the thing... Quote
CloneMe Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 It turns out that I bought 2 more Clone walker battle packs and 1 assassin droid battle packs in hope Id find a darth vader but nope. Dang it. Ill have to keep looking. Quote
