dr01d3k4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 that better not be the prototype, if it is, i HATE TLC!!!!!!!!!!! not really :-D :-D where did these pictures get found? Quote
Vader Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 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.... Well theirs nothing i can do to stop you from posting the pics on other sites but for the time being they wont be placed here. Like i have said before i wont discuss the matter here at this moment.

phoinix Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 and what about when we posted the new summer sets from the retail catalog... they never told us to take them down did they? boy TLC has eyes everywhere!! Quote
Hobbes Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 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. That's their "problem", the pics are already on brickshelf anyway... 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.... What harm? To who? Let it go, will you? Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 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. Well, I think it would be somewhat like what happened this time. They get put up, and if TLG wants them to be removed, they are. EB isn't censored at all, but there's not much you can do when you get asked to remove them... Quote
Vader Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 where did these pictures get found? If you had bothered to look it states where they were found on the last page.............. :-| Regarding our stance on leaked pics its a complicated matter thats why i said i wont comment at this time.........seriously it gives us a real headache at times, Quote
KMOI Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Meh, I understand that policy! Besides, at least Eurobricks (I think) is in good standing with LEGO and they understand. (From what I've seen in the past) That or we have some AWESOME negotiators here. :-) Anyhoo, words fail me at this point. I'll let the "foaming mouth guy" do the talking for me: Image credit goes to rufftoon of Avatar fanart fame That Cafe Corner is mind-blowingly awesome! Sure, no interior, but that's why it's LEGO! I'm DEFINATELY tempted to buy it! Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i was just looking through the cafe corner pics, when on the box, on the bottom left corner, i saw what looks like a table or floor! there is a chance for interior! Quote
phoinix Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 so what are they saying to us..? "remove the pic or else..?" i know this happens with other sites but this is the first time i see it happening here... Quote
Starwars4J Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 so what are they saying to us..? "remove the pic or else..?"i know this happens with other sites but this is the first time i see it happening here... What they're saying really isn't important. They want the pics removed, so it's only right to remove them, no? It's bad business to show your sets too early, other companies can copy them. I'm sure they're just trying to run damage control from the accidental leak Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 why does it say on the side of the cafe corner HOTEL? i thought it was a cafe Quote
Hobbes Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 why does it say on the side of the cafe corner HOTEL? i thought it was a cafe It's a street corner, with a cafe, a hotel (above the cafe, not that rare), a shop and everthing that comes with it. A street scene. Quote

I'm sure they're just trying to run damage control from the accidental leak i can kind of understand that..but what about the pics from the new summer sets we have seen from retail catalogs? and i dont think this is a matter of copying the set from another company. its not too soon to show it.. it is supposed to come out in April and we have seen sets that are supposed to come out in june!!

Well obviously if they published images in a catalog, they aren't worried about the images being leaked :-P Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Well obviously if they published images in a catalog, they aren't worried about the images being leaked :-P i haven't seen any 2007 sets in a catalog yet, apart from sets already released. Quote
phoinix Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Well obviously if they published images in a catalog, they aren't worried about the images being leaked :-P i dont remember any new exo force in the catalog! and the new train station and the new green truck werent in the catalog! as well as the new creator sets.. and lets not forget sets like the tie-crawler it wasnt even in the toy-fair pictures but we have seen it.. Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i dont remember any new exo force in the catalog!and the new train station and the new green truck werent in the catalog! as well as the new creator sets.. where the new technic and mars mission in the catalog? Quote
Vader Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Look guys weve been asked to remove it and weve done so, thats the end of it. Quote
dr01d3k4 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Look guys weve been asked to remove it and weve done so, thats the end of it. agreed. Quote
xenologer Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i dont remember any new exo force in the catalog!and the new train station and the new green truck werent in the catalog! as well as the new creator sets.. and lets not forget sets like the tie-crawler it wasnt even in the toy-fair pictures but we have seen it.. Well, in that case the pic in question is probably a prototype like suggested before; and they don't want anyone getting wrong expectations when the real one is smaller. So it doesn't really relate to the EF situation. *shrug* most of the stuff you mentioned was at ToyFair, so in a way thats already released even tho not a catalog. That might also be the reason its different. i guess the policy is for EB to remove pics when requested, and they just didnt request for any of those other ones. at any rate... all we can do is speculate since none of us works for TLG mhkay?

casewindu Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i thought it might be that, you don't see many things like that where i live though. well if you live in america (just a guess ;-) ) then you probably woudn't. This set has a french feel to it in my opinion. Funny how there is also an eiffel tower comming out! maybe lego's going French! :-D (if they do i would love a lego mime artist! Quote

blueandwhite Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 i don't think Lego is going French, but possibly Europe, seeing that the Lego company started in Denmark,i think. Actually, I find the design quite non-descript. While it easily looks like it could be a cafe in a European metropolis, it also looks like it would fit well in a North American small town. I think that this is what makes this design so appealing. It fits in almost anywhere. Quote
