Vader Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 First the mini digger next the world (city sets that is) :-D
David85 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 What German site? Another great sign is the fact it's only $3 for 36 pieces, if it were made a year or two ago it would be $4.
Vader Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah i noticed that too, this set is really worth the price and it looks good to. :)
David85 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Coming Soon on 08 Jan 2005 It's also in the "City" section, which before was only used for the old release Town sets or Junior City sets. I reworded it so it would be correct.... Another Police Station is being constructed in LEGO City, Police State, and it's your job to help make it happen so the police can watch the 5 World City citizens even more! Use the mini digger to get the job done, so the police can arrest those remaining 5 evil citizens!
Vader Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Damn i was hoping to have some new sets for xmas :(
David85 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 I already have. :P Prob will be out right after or on X-Mas.
Vader Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah i usually find them around the 22nd dec so fingers crossed it will be the same this year, if not aty least i know what to spend my xmas money on :)
Wolf04 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 What German site?Another great sign is the fact it's only $3 for 36 pieces, if it were made a year or two ago it would be $4. What do you mean which site???? The one that you got all the pics from!! Jeez....there isn't another German site with 2005 set pictures. |:||-/ http://www.robothek.de/Lego.htm
David85 Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Sevenal German sites have picture on it. I don't know where it is, like I said a friend gave me a link and told me just to change the numbers. I went looking for it after I translated it, no luck.
David85 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 They have new Beyond Belief! :oD But without Riker. :( Anyways... What? :D Oh yeah, I translated it fine, but don't know where they are. Woo-Hoo Page 30!
Vader Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 It usually takes me awhile to translate them. Well were one our way to page 31 :-D
mahjqa Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 We're on our way to page 0937, What's your point? (Anyone knowing the significance of this number gets a cookie)
Orlego Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 The mini digger is somewhat available. You can't preorder it but it's a sign that the new sets will soon be in:http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=7246 Item#: 7246 Ages: 5+ Pieces: 36 Price: No List Price Coming Soon on 08 Jan 2005 Help build LEGO City! Another building is being constructed in LEGO City, and it's your job to help make it happen! Use the mini digger to get the job done. * Raise and lower the shovel. * Includes construction worker with tools. EDIT: Where can you find the page with all of the 2005 pics on the German site? Cool, now we have an official date. At $3 a set, there will be a whole lot of construction going on in my town. ;)

sam89 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 Jon, I think that David means that all that is missing are the Star Wars pictures.
sam89 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 Here's some pics of finished World City construction sets: http://www.kostky.org/forum/index.php?topic=206.0 I don't think the big crane is quite as good as the prototype one, which is a shame, but it still looks pretty good.
jonfett Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 So the sets we saw were still in construction? (hehe :D) I think these look good, they are not much different than the prototypes but they look better now that they are finished off. Is there any more pictures though? I only saw the crane, street cleaner and the small truck. EDIT - On further inspection I have noticed that the crane has actually changed quite a bit. The wheels are bigger, the cockpit is different and pistons holding the crane up are changed. The figs are also different. I wonder why they posted a pic of a half contructed crane with box art before releasing the actual one! *wacko* Jon.
Vader Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Sams right its not as good but its still cool and alot better than most of this years sets.
Orlego Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 I agree, this model is pretty cool, but not as good as the first. The first set reminded me of the good old sets from my childhood days.
Vader Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Ah the good old days when all sets were of the highest standerds :'(
jindroush Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Missing all these 'the-prototype-was-better' replies? The 'real one' is of the same length, 2 studs wider, has better wheels, better color scheme and long telescopic boom. The _only_ drawback I see is the absence of metal hook. EDIT: And the reason of the 'prototype' pictures - the scans are most probably from German dealer catalogue. Because it takes some time to prepare printed materials, there's no wonder the have to put there 'unfinished' pictures. And it's also clear to see, that most boxes there are just mockups.
David85 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 They all look great to me. The crane looks pretty much the same just wider. The new dugger thing looks more real, its thicker and looks like it can get the jop done.
Orlego Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 The 'real one' is of the same length, 2 studs wider, has better wheels, better color scheme and long telescopic boom. Better wheels?? that is a matter of opinion. By making it two studs wider, it is harder to get it to stay on one side of a city street. I like the first one because of the wheels, color scheme and scale.
sam89 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 Jindroush, how do you get these pictures? And have you got any idea when we'll see the first pics for the Episode III sets?
