I am usually very sceptical about the desings of official sets, but, I must admit, 2007 is going to be a great year - finally my words have been heard - TLC has gone minifig scale! I adore the Falcon - and now the Cafe Corner, which is simply awesome! Though I am not a huge city fan, I'll have to get it. :-D We really should get buying - so that they don't give up making these great sets!

This set only means one thing for me, I will probably not buy any other lego set this year :)

The second problem is that it won't fit well into my layout but the sheer beauty of it makes me want to buy it.

Incredible *wub* !

This set can be used in a modern city but also in a Napoleonic-area city.

That's what makes it so great for the pirate fans!

This is a miraculous set. I think, and strongly hope, that UA is right and TLC has gone minifigure scale. If this is the case Im bigger truoble than I thought. TLC is smart finally getting a little smarter. (after several years) The only reason I bought the MF is because it is minifig scale. Now this is so nice that I will probably get one..... and I dont by town stuff! It is so great over all as a standalone and with figures too *wub* . I like the idea of adding it into a pirate area... I will if the all powerful wife deems it buy this set *skull* . This really is an expensive year with no end in sight.

May TLC have mercy on our souls.

i don't think this is real, but on www.brickshelf.com i found 10180 UCS grievous fighter

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=228231

If you look at his gallery, you'll find more shots of that grievous fighter. Its quite nice actually. The builder's other work is pretty nice too.

As I mentioned earlier, I suspect that the actual 10180 is the licenced vehicle that was apparently discussed at the Frechen show. There was also a sketch of the corner cafe at that show. Perhaps nothing has been announced yet because LEGO is still working on the licencing agreement.

Sorry people, Lego have via email told us to take the pics down

Hope its okay

I'm sorry if I posted the pictures without permission. :-X The original thread on 1000steine where the pictures were revealed by another user who found them on the official Lego website is also gone.

Sorry, TLC! :'-( Anyway I'll buy this set!

Just wondering, Why do we bother taking things down just because they say so?

I remember on BZPower (back when i was silly enough to be on that forum)

that the reason they always agreed to take down 'early' pics was because they had a TLG employee (gregf) on the forum, and if they didnt agree he would threaten to stop giving them hints about future bionicle story stuff.

as near as I know, here on eurobricks we don't have any special arrangement like that... so why?

P.S. did everyone remember to save those pics to your brickshelf?

you can always buy the parts you need for an interior from lego factory, or use your own parts, if it where me, i would go for buying parts form lego factory, unless they don't have them.

I suspect that the reason why TLC has asked us to remove the pics is because it is a prototype model. They didn't want us to have seen that model - because the finished one will not be as complex or detailed - and they don't want us disappointed later. The one that was there earlier on this afternoon was probably like a concept oen or something - not intended for the general public to see. So don't be disappointed when the real set looks nothing like the one we saw earlier this afternoon!

The pics were taken from the official LEGO server, so I think that's the final set.

So, if rather than comply with taking down the pics; we leave them up, and spread them around.

Then for the sake of reputation they'd be forced to improve the real one, rather than go the path of so many good prototypes of the past?

I'm not seeing a good motivation here for why we bother taking down 'leaks' in that case....

so going back to my above question, why?

Theirs no way lego would improve a set just because prem pics got leaked, if that was the case alot of sets over the years would of been changed.

It was decided awhile back by us admins not to post things like this for reasons i wont go into here.

Well, I think it would be nice to understand the motivations before I or someone else gets the idea to mirror the pics someplace else.

Right now I have a neutral stance on the matter, but if it's somehow doing some significant harm the I'd like to know first....

Really! So if pictures of the new hoth set were leaked you would take them down too or even worse not put them up! I never thought i would see the day EB was censored.
