sam89 Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Thanks for the info. These sets have got excellent prices, especially the big crane. Quote
The Middleman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Not yet available in the US. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - (stops before sam edits his post again) Hopefully they will be soon! :'( Quote
Brickmaster Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 NOOOOOOOO! how much more will they torment me with new sets not being avalible! :'( :'( Quote
Jipay Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I hate European people so much ! *devil* Oh wait no, it's not the right sentence *wacko* *confusing* Quote
The Middleman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Oh, sam, you hit the big one. ;) Look at your post count. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 One nice thing is that they can give us news before available in the US. To counter that, we have Walmart that may sell them at half the price. Quote
The Middleman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 One nice thing is that they can give us news before available in the US. To counter that, we have Walmart that may sell them at half the price. Yeah, but I'd rather get them now at full price than in 3 months at half price. In fact, I don't think I've ever gotten a LEGO set on sale. I'm much more of a day-before-it-comes-out person. Quote
medib Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 Hahaha Sam hit the 666 mark... he's.... the.... the devil. ;) Prices look VERY reasonable on the European side, let's hope that they remain reasonable when they hit the North American market. BTW, (sorry for going off-topic) but while scanning Shop@Home, I took a quick glance at the "sales & deals" section. I don't know if I feel sorry for you guys 'across the pond' or feel jealous but there are some wicked deals. [mumbles something about having the Black Falcon Fortress, the RedBaron Plane, still a couple of Spiderman sets, pods on sale] *devil* / |-/ / X:D Quote
Peoples_General Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Can we get pictures of these new construction sets? Im wondering if they'll have Technic Tread Links or Chain Links so I can have an easier time making my Tank MOCs. :P Quote
The Middleman Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 That Star Wars droid has some cool treads... Any word on when these Construction sets are coming for US? Quote
The Middleman Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 'Preorder this item today, will ship by 09 Mar 2005' Now the message for USA when viewing City Construction sets. :D Quote
The Middleman Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Update: - Construction Collection listed, but not available - Construction Site: $39.99 - Digger: $19.99 - XXL Mobile Crane: $49.99 - Street Sweeper: $4.99 - NEW Community Workers: $43 (probably a typo for $34) Quote

[mumbles something about having the Black Falcon Fortress, the RedBaron Plane, still a couple of Spiderman sets, pods on sale] *devil* / |-/ / X:D They deserve it. They get screwed sales wise, and with regular prices, so they finally got a good sale. I do want that Castle set through. And the "Digger" should be $15 and not $20. Quote
Orlego Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 It should be, but it's not. Hmmmm, uhhhh, welcome back David???????? Quote

I'm much more of A buy them the night before they go on sale to the US public for 30% off type of guy. :P ;) Quote

Packrat Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 actually the XXL Mobile Crane ship date says feb 11. The Digger March 4th, and Construction site March 9th Quote
The Middleman Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Oh, thanks! I assumed it was universal. :$ Quote
Orlego Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Damn you and your LEGO employed-ness! Hehehe :P ;) Quote
medib Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 The March 9th is also for the complete collection (for $110.00 US) The street sweeper is available right now, I might add, combining many great elements from the past with new ones, and it only costs a $4.99. :) Benjmin Medinets Quote
Jipay Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 XXL Mobile Crane Item#: 7249 Ages: 6+ Pieces: 524 Price: CAD 69.99 Preorder this item today, will ship by 11 Feb 2005 So it's about 35 euros (and there is a double taxe system)...
