Thanks for the pictures Brick Town Talk!

This is a must buy! I really like the helicopter! the colours are great and it doesn't seem to utilize too many <insert that tiresome argument> pieces.

The limousine is also beautiful! Four minifigs? One more point in the pros.

As, I've said, a must buy for sure!

I like the limo but the wheels stick out too much . Will need to change the axle piece.

[BlueBard]

Thanks for the pics! Looks really nice for an official design, with a nice use of parts, it's a pity it's 4 instead of 6-wide

[metalandi]

Thanks for the pics! The set looks nice but i agree they should have made the lime 6-wide. would have looke dbetter all in all and also would have given place for some more interior (though it already is cool that they included a TV device)

[lightningtiger]

Now 'Bluebard' you are getting me thinking now, 6 wide eh ?

Someone commented on black ....Hmmm ?

Can't wait till Kmart here gets them - hopefully maybe today !!!

I'm a conformist! !

Or use these wheels, they'll fit flush.

Thanks for the pics, but it doesn't seem that good anymore.

The limo roof looks poor IMO, they could've made a new centre section to match the front & rear surely? (They could've then used this on other models such as trains/carriages for the roof to make it viable)

Now where are the seats in the Limo. I thought a Limo was supposed to be luxurious.

I was all set to rush out and get this and now I think I will wait. The Limo don't look right, could be the wheels or the fact it is only 4 wide as previously pointed out. Still like the look of the helicopter.

Big W (one of our department stores) here in Australia have the City 2010 range on sale on shelfves. I'm gonna go get them tonite!

I think they made a correct decision in making it 4-wide. This is what makes it so clearly a stretched normal sedan. Should be possible to make a nice luxury interior as it is, but maybe only for 2 figs.

4 wide for the win! Will fit my classic town perfectly :)

Hmm. I liked the first photos better, now seeing the limo in a better perspective, it isn't such a 'wannahave' for me anymore. Although the helicopter still looks great!

[lightningtiger]

Just finished building both the limo and copter, the car is nice, but the copter is fantastic. Only four parts could be considered junorized, but with all the slopes, etc., it's sheer beauty.

Me so happy I have this now !

[legomaniac83]

Looking good!

I can't wait for this to hit shelves here in Canada. The set looks great so thanks for the pics.

And I feel if the Limo was 6-wide, it would look to "big" being stretched out. The 4 wide looks more to the right size.

[ACCURATEin]

Looking forward to the arrival of this set whenever that may be. You guys down under were lucky to receive the first batch!

[Big Cam]

That helicopter is sweet, I love that nose piece, it's new to me.

Cool looking set, it's like the presidents setup.

[Klaus-Dieter]

Thank you very much for these pics, Brick Town Talk!

If there would be a poll added to this topic I would vote for

Outstanding

Cons:

-helicopter imo too huge

-no seats in the limousine

Pros:

-many accessory

-great minifigure selection

-very well designed helicopter

-awesome design of the limousine

All in all this is imo an outstanding set since it pleases those people which want a new civilian helicopter and those which want a limousine - and of course even those which want both.

I can't await to get this set. Unluckily in Germany we'll have to wait until June til it will be released in regular toy shops.
