When I was younger, I'd let my dad put the stickers on sets, since he had a steadier hand than me and could get them straight (and in the case of STAMPs, he'd take a knife to the point where the bricks met so that the set could be taken apart).

My dad was doing the same :D

But I still do not like STAMPs. Other stickers have pros and cons: for sets that I buy just for parts, I am happy when they use stickers as the parts are more easily re-usable. But for sets that I keep the problem is stickers is that they do not stay well when they age...

On another note, there's a gap in the numbering: no 70810. Could that set number be reserved for an exclusive? Possibly one featuring Benny?

I'm beginning to think a Benny set would be too good to be true.

Yeah, that's part of the reason I like recent sets. The only set I've had with any STAMPs in several years was the Maersk train, and it had just one (the new Maersk ship also has them — I kind of wonder if Maersk has some sort of policy against splitting their logos and trademarks into separate sections).

I don't know if the aging problem is as big a deal as it used to be, either. I guess there's no way to find out for sure until the stickers in recent sets have actually had time to age. But the stickers from my Power Miners, Atlantis, and even Exo-Force sets are still in good shape unless I've been foolish enough to try removing and re-applying them.

All the sets are on S@H now, all listed for Dec 29th! :grin:

But where's the CMF series 12?

That Fire truck...mech...thing, whatever it is, has a code on the front for the LEGO Movie video game. Gee. I wonder what it does! :P

Will the fire mec be able to be rebuilt into a fire truck?. So far I only see three sets that say 2 in 1 build.

I don't know about the fire mech, but I count 4 2 in 1 builds: Castle Calvary, the ice cream van, the plumbing van and the trash compacter.

Has someone find their sigfig? LOL. What amazes me about these sets is the level of detail in the minifigs and the williness to create new ones. It seems that the City theme very rarely gets new minifig designs. I wonder if the designs for the Recycling Truck will be used in City going forward. And this guy in overalls is more detailed than ones in overalls in the regular City Recycling Truck... though his outfit would not be professional. :wink:

In the future, will have a sets that features Benny and Batman?

No word on them yet, but Benny's probably going to show up. And I'd like to think TLG would be smart enough to NOT include Batman in yet another set.

Hmm, I don't know. Given that he's in the movie, there might be a chance they'd have him in a The Lego Movie set, possibly just as a minifigure. (Not a whole set based around him)

Well, the DC superheroes wave for 2014 will revolve solely around him, and there may not even be a summer wave for that theme, which means Lego would have made a whole year just for Batman, and to have him in yet another set apart from his theme would be hilariously painful. I mean, a whole year just for him, and then the inclusion of him in another set? It seems sort of like a way for TLG to flick off DC fans, which would be dumb since Warner Bros is already doing that with the 2014 wave of sets. I just don't see how they could do that without getting people mad. Unless everyone here would be ok with that, which in my opinion is just baffling.
