Sammael Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Is that windscreen & those side windows the replacement of the now discontinued trans black? Looks like it. Is that a new head on the left minifig? The plane looks... off. Proportions are weird. Quote
jonwil Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I dont believe its a new head, the same head is found on the tram driver in the City Public Transport set. As for the blacks, the instructions for the airplane show the windscreen has part # 4496442. The instructions for the public transport set show the windscreen has part # 4496442. As part numbers are color specific, this means that either TLG has not changed trans-black at all OR has changed the pigmentation of trans-black but has not changed the color number. Without a direct answer from TLG or someone actually acquiring a 2011 set with the supposed "new trans-black" in it, there is no way to tell for sure what the story is. Quote
BrickWild Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Any better pics of the powerboat transporter? Quote
Yamon Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Is that windscreen & those side windows the replacement of the now discontinued trans black? I personally just think it is the picture. Look at the passengers suitcase, the brown seems a bit off. The colours I'm seeing aren't the same, including the dark blue of the plane and passengers shirt. Quote
keep on bricking! Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 well i want that set i need a small plane hopefully its not as much as the last plane Quote
CMP Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Wait, where is this boat transporter picture? I haven't seen it... Quote
Zorbas Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Wait, where is this boat transporter picture? I haven't seen it... Check this topic. Quote
buddy Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Amazon UK have 3 of the 4 new City Space sets (all but 3367) available for pre-order with shipping on the 1/03/2011, I may pre-order a couple of them now! ~buddy~ Edit: I've just pre-ordered 3365 and 3366. Edited January 7, 2011 by buddy Quote
mahon881 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Trans-black is discontinued? It showed up in bank and money transfor on the big van. I'm a conformist!! Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Is June a sure date for the release of Harbor sets? I'll be traveling then, and I want to find out if stores there will have them. Quote
Yamon Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the picture. Th power boat trasporter looks quite big from the box and you can see it has the sub-model sign on it. It looks quite large, I'd say £20-£30 tipping 300 pieces. Looks good. Also, we get a nice big boat for the marina. But I dont think I'll get the marina. Maybe just the speed boat and the Transporter =/ EDIT: I was just taking a look at the LEGO city shop page, and noticed...Prices are rising again....Passenger train is now £103, when it was £95 before, and loads of other set have has small, increases of around 5%-10%...I mean come on, as if they weren't overpriced in the first place, and why? Is the cost of the plastic rising or summat? :L Edited January 8, 2011 by Yamon Quote
SilentMode Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I mean come on, as if they weren't overpriced in the first place, and why? Is the cost of the plastic rising or summat? :L VAT. Quote
Jargo Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 The cost of paying banker's bonuses has increased. Hence the VAT rise to 20%. Quote
Yamon Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Ah, i see thanks, but still should have been a very small increase. It was a 2.5% increase, Example, The passenger train, £95 before, now its £103,...thats not a 2.5% increase :L If it were, it would be about £97-98... Quote
SilentMode Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 A lot of companies have used the VAT increase as an excuse to hike prices; pretty much like they did when it was lowered. I can't see myself getting a large set this year for this same reason. Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I had a good talk with a toy store owner today, I said the prices on all Lego have risen...like overnight - no joke, that's what he said ! Back on topic, the prime mover comming with the speed boat on semi trailer does seem to look a little like a Daf or Volvo cab-over, what do you think ? Brick On Everyone ! Quote
Yamon Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 This new truck seems to be the most realistic I have seen yet, even more so than 3180 which I thought was realistic. Pictures too blurred to tell, but I can see a few interesting bits 'n' pieces. Quote
mahon881 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 That is strange of the prices rising in Europe, but I just checked lego.com for the U.S., and prices are all the same as what they used to be! I am not really sure if it has to do with stocks, the euro, the dollar ... etc. Oh well... Just maybe think about saving up some extra money for 2011, because it seems in Europe the sets be as expenive as they are good! Quote

Just maybe think about saving up some extra money for 2011, because it seems in Europe the sets be as expenive as they are good! Mind that here in Russia we have probably the highest prices the world over... Especially considering the fact that salary rate is way lower than in Europe :( Back to topic. The new truck seems very much like a Renault Magnum, doesn't it? Quote
Zzz Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 The other day I browsed through new City sets in a department store and gazed at the new prisoner transport. Actually, they had a lot of sets of the old prisoner transport (2005) on the shelfs, right next to it, and they are almost the same! Though I know that in 6 years the usual customer of city products is not into City or even Lego anymore, I think that making this new van in black would have been an amazing set and I wouldn't sit here in bad mood and write these lines, I would play with it right now! Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Having only finished the new prisoner transport yesterday afternoon, I can say similar - yeah, in the basics, but the new one is far better, longer and more practical with it's equipment storage and larger search light. I need to buy a few of these, MOC potential MAX ! Brick On Everyone ! Quote

lightningtiger Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 First new lego exlusive 100621 ANA airlines Picture links to website and then a new set! picture links to brickshelf gallery! enjoy! :classic: Thanks again 'grogall', you always seem to come through with the latest eh ? That airline set is a restickered 3181 - nice ! But now to find out the police copter is a flamin' store exclusive.....that's THREE for city police subtheme for Australia and New Zealand.....give us a break down under eh ? Anyway, keep on looking forward ! Quote
Zorbas Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks for the pictures grogall. I must say that the ANA version of the 3181 Passenger Plane looks fantastic. The colour pattern and the shape of the stripes is very beautiful and although that it's a sticker it really adds to the looks of the plane. Btw, is that supposed to be a door frame next to the first passenger window? Quote
jonwil Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 It seems like TLG are producing more and more store exclusive sets these days :( Quote
