sam89 Posted November 8, 2004 Author Posted November 8, 2004 Four new X-pod sets: There's lime, purple, blue and red.
David85 Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Awesome light blue! I have yet to buy this years, but thats ok. :)
Jipay Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 sweet sets sam ! let's add the pic on our server *satis*
jonfett Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 Great! :oD Those sets look awesome! I can't wait to get them. Seems like me and Apo were not too far off with our guesses!! Jon.
David85 Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 The purple monster is great. And oddly this is the only site I can get to work right now....
jonfett Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 They are all great! I like the fact that the pods are trans-colours.. apo and I discussed the pods being like this last week. I would guess that the green pod is flying creatures the purple pod is monsters the blue pod is sea creatures and the orange pod is insects. So it would seem that it is a creature based theme. And oddly this is the only site I can get to work right now.... Well, we are the best! :) Jon.
Jipay Posted November 8, 2004 Posted November 8, 2004 And oddly this is the only site I can get to work right now.... This is because we can't keep the website up without you ;) And don't worry, you will always get fresh news here :)
David85 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 The purple ones has a purple 1x1 slope!!! The green has like 6 of them. The blue has at least 3. The orange has at least four too!! Glad to see Lego finally making a piece people won't complain about and are putting them to good use.
David85 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 There is a pic of a train set... http://news.lugnet.com/trains/?n=23652 It's a CAD one, which leads people there to think its fake, but one thing that got my atension is on the truck there is the new 1x1 slope that I love. Is that piece already in the CAd databases or could this be an early pic of a Train set set for next fall?
ApophisV Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 The purple ones has a purple 1x1 slope!!!The green has like 6 of them. The blue has at least 3. The orange has at least four too!! That was the very first thing I noticed when looking at the pics!!!! 1x1 Slopes.... *wub* Actually the Pods look very good, though I'd liked more to get basic transparent colors first (TrBlue, TrYellow,TrRed and such)
moom Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 It's a CAD one, which leads people there to think its fake, but one thing that got my atension is on the truck there is the new 1x1 slope that I love. Is that piece already in the CAd databases or could this be an early pic of a Train set set for next fall? I tend to believe that someone noticed Transparent Yellow 1x1x2/3 Slopes will become available in the World City police and firefighter sets that are going to be released, and he anticipated on these parts with a nice MOC. With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
medib Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Hi. I'm new. Just wanted to say how prolific your site is on other Legofan sites. I seen it on classic-castle.com and now on Lugnet. Congrats that you guys are starting to see some more exposure to Legofans!! I seen this on Lugnet today: Lugnet Note: the price of the truck is $19.99 US and the station is $29.99 US. I remember when they had this: for $50 US. So much for the theory that Lego can get more expensive as time goes by... >-| anyways, thanks.
ApophisV Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Hi medib, welcome here!!! And thank you very much for the kind words!!! *satis* We always try to be a fanpage for the fans itself and not a page that is "submissive" to the subject of our hobby (or better the company that produces it... ;)) I hope you feel comfortable here!!! :) But lets get back on topic... ;) The truck for 20$ and the station for 30... Thats a wonderful deal!! I hope this prices wont increased very much when the sets are available here... The fire truck looks really nice, though I'm not into town themes I could imagine to buy it at that prize....
jonfett Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Hey, welcome to eurobricks medib! I want to get hold of some of those 1x1 slopes, they look so cool and probably very useful. It seems lego is putting the pieces into alot of new sets, the obviously want to make their moneys worth! ;) Jon.
Jipay Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Welcome here medib ! We always try to give our best to fans and it's always great when people are talking about us in such a nice way. We always try to improve, and I hope the last news were ok for all of you :) Back ont he fire station : the quality seems to be back. I can't wait to see the fire trucks and the ladders. I always wanted one :)
David85 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 The station is not worth $50, but I thought it would be at least $40, the boat is $30 so that doesn't make sense. I will belive it when I see it. Welcome medib! By the time Europe gets them they will be about 60-70 pounds and like 90 euros. :)
ApophisV Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 By the time Europe gets them they will be about 60-70 pounds and like 90 euros. :) Okay, what you said was true.... BUT.... why the happy smilie????? >-| :P 29,99 $ should be 23,25
David85 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Should be.. :-P I won't be paying an arm and leg so why wouldn't I be smiling. :D BTW anyone know how many pieces the fire truck and station are?
Guest drewc Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 I just wanted to let everyone know that my store just received the 05 fire station and fire truck at the LIC in Orlando, FL. These sets are odd because they are marked for 5+ years instead of the 7+ or 8+ of comparable World City sets. They are also in bigger (Jack Stone like) boxes and do not have the World City name. The box just says CITY. Drew

David85 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 It could just be that they haven't made the World City boxes yet because this is a first run. I hope so at least, don't need Lego going back to City Jr.
Wolf04 Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 A new excavator and Racers sets are found on the official S@H site but only for European countries. Unfortunately, no pictures. :( EDIT: drewc, is that fire station the one similar to the one pictured on the front page of www.eurobricks.com? It could be from the series for small children since in the set list, there were also a couple of junior sets. It could be "4664 fire-brigade headquarters".
David85 Posted November 11, 2004 Posted November 11, 2004 Welcome member 99. :) Are those sets you say are on Europe's site, is that the Lego site or the Shop at Home site? Drew says they are the new sets so who knows. Wait and see.
