The Middleman Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Unfortunately, *devil*, S@H decided to delay shipping my order until this afternoon, instead of last night like they said they would. So, I get it before 4PM EST tomorrow. However, I'm in the process of doing reviews (with lots of high-quality pics) for the entire Fire Collection, so stay tuned! :D
Brickmaster Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 I ordered the police collection. now all i have to do is wait for it in the mail. |:| :/
Vader Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Waiting is allways the hardest part when it comes to lego, but its worth it in the end when you finally have new sets in hand :-D :)
The Middleman Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 The worst part is when they tell you the wrong thing. Apparently, when we called LEGO at 3 and ordered it and the lady said it would ship out tonight, the deadline was 2 to ship out that night. And then, when it shipped out the next day, and we called LEGO to ask when it would be here, they said Saturday, when apparently, they only deliver for a bit on Saturdays, and we didn't get it. So then we called UPS and they said it was in Pennsylvania instead of North Carolina and would arrive here on Monday, and I just about blew my lid. Still, they refunded $15 of the $30 I paid for overnighting.
Brickmaster Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Well, you got a part refund and just think though, its better late than never, right?
The Middleman Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Ha, yeah. Guess that's $15 more in the bank for the Mine Truck or the Crane Truck...
Brickmaster Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Im definently getting those sets, that dump truck is huge!
Brickmaster Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Yes, i just wonder how many pieces it has.
The Middleman Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Yeah, whatever happened to that thing? I liked it. Anyone have the proto pic still? I lost it.
Vader Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Hey Orlego just do what i do when my partner says about our wedding i just told her that i think all the new lego sets should go down on our gift list :-D :) I mean who needs new sets of glasses when you could have a new viking/city/SW set :-D
Orlego Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Hey Orlego just do what i do when my partner says about our wedding i just told her that i think all the new lego sets should go down on our gift list :-D :) I mean who needs new sets of glasses when you could have a new viking/city/SW set :-D Hey, thanks Vader! That is a great idea! :D ;)
The Middleman Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Alrighty, I got the Police Collection - except for the Police Car, which LEGO BACKORDERED on my behind (they told me it was available *devil* ). Pictures are almost finished for BOTH collections, and stuff should be up tonight (finally, sorry!).
ApophisV Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 Fine, take the time you need (hehe, don't wanna play with your new stuff before reviewing it? ;)), I am very patient.... ;)
The Middleman Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I'm having tons of fun posing the guys and stuff. Don't worry. Pictures are finished - everything from closeups of every room to a pic of the assorted extra pieces (including the NINE extra 1x1 2/3 slopes in trans-blue I got in the Prisoner Transport! :o ). I gotta say the Fire Truck is the best of the lot for sheer perfection, but I love both stations and the motorcycles are TONS better than I thought they would be!
jonfett Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 (including the NINE extra 1x1 2/3 slopes in trans-blue I got in the Prisoner Transport! :o ) 9?? Oh man, you are lucky.. I hope if I buy one from s@h I will get that many extras! Can't wait to see the pics! :) Jon.
Mini Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I'm having tons of fun posing the guys and stuff. Don't worry. Pictures are finished - everything from closeups of every room to a pic of the assorted extra pieces (including the NINE extra 1x1 2/3 slopes in trans-blue I got in the Prisoner Transport! :o ). Man, I didn't get any extras in either the Prisoner Transport or the Fire Truck. :/
Orlego Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 I had 4 extra yellow and 3 extra blue 1x1 slopes in each of the two fire cars I bought. I was very happy and surprised to say the least. :D ;)
Mini Posted January 17, 2005 Posted January 17, 2005 All I got were levers and visors. :/ I just ordered the Fire Station, Police Car and Fire Car... hopefully I'll get some extras with those.
The Middleman Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 I've got my Fire Collection review completed, but the issue is, it has about 32 pictures. I can't post them all, or even half of them, in one post. Can an admin bend the rules or something?
Brickmaster Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 The only set I got extra 1x1 slopes is the small fire jeep. 1 trans blue, 1 trans yellow. :'( Is there a mistake in packaging when there are so many extras? 9 just seems like alot of extras...
jonfett Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 If you upload them to brickshlef you can post some of the images here and use links as well. Then you can fit all 32 into one post :) Jon.
ApophisV Posted January 18, 2005 Posted January 18, 2005 or you could just send them to me via e-mail...
