gunm Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Oh man, I want dat Icebreaker! Now I'm a little glad I haven't gotten around to getting the Coast Guard set. :p Quote
Boettner Builds Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Oh man, I want dat Icebreaker! Now I'm a little glad I haven't gotten around to getting the Coast Guard set. :p I bought the Coast Guard set just before the Ice Breaker news came out Quote
gunm Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Coast Guard set is really cool, but I have to say I'm liking Ice Breaker a lot more! Quote

Boettner Builds Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Coast Guard set is really cool, but I have to say I'm liking Ice Breaker a lot more! Well, I DID buy the Coast Guard so that I could MOC something else But when the Ice Breaker comes out IT WILL BE MINE! Quote
sithewok Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I am really excited for the Arctic sets. No idea where I will display them, but I'm interested in all of the sets, most likely. Quote
SnapLock Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I am really excited for the Arctic sets. No idea where I will display them, but I'm interested in all of the sets, most likely. Same here , i am really excited for this theme and the ideas it brings, like making a Brickflick movie based on The horror movie 'The Thing" or a brickflick based on the tv show "Helix" Example: Lego Arctic Team taking core sample's of ice for carbon dating discover remains of unknown origin, Contact with the main arctic base is lost , "Fade Cut" into a small artic shack where survivors are huddled up together, what happened to them? how did they get there? "Fade cut" Outside in the extreme arctic conditions a lone figure on a dog sled is seen heading towards the survivors shack............... Cant wait to get the sets and make a horror Brickflick Edited March 13, 2014 by SnapLock Quote
gunm Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Arctic is looking nice indeed. In addition to Ice Breaker, I'd like to get the Ice Crawler and Outpost! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I'm not feeling it myself with this Arctic sub-theme, it doesn't seem to feel logical going from humble city streets to a polar ice cap. Look at coast guard, you find them in or near a harbour....which is in or near a city. I always felt and will always feel that city should be city related or something close to a city related. But that's just my two cents worth. At least we are scoring a cool new train station and awesome freight train....ah, finally I might be able to get a new train ......thanks Arctic sub-theme. Quote
Boettner Builds Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 It's been a pretty long time since the last arctic set (Which I no longer have ) So I will be getting olive dem! Quote
gunm Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I have so many interests with the themes, I just combine them all! It doesn't have to be "realistic" or "make sense" to me. I got Star Wars guys visiting the folks in City, etc etc. ^_^ Quote
Dorayaki Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I'm not feeling it myself with this Arctic sub-theme, it doesn't seem to feel logical going from humble city streets to a polar ice cap. Well then the problem is should it be an independent theme or a subtheme? Arctic things are welcome no matter which theme they're titled. As mentioned TLC might just try to regard all modern real-life technologies and vehicles as "City". Quote

Because so many cities have a space port, or my favorite sub theme title ever... LEGO City Farm. Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Because so many cities have a space port, or my favorite sub theme title ever... LEGO City Farm. Well, a space port would never be in a city......period, but farms, forests, etc., are generally near a city or totally next to a town or village. Quote
Only Sinner Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Hi-res pictures of City Arctic sets. I think maybe you get up really early and hunt for the latest pics. Thanks for all your effort, J2G! You're a good guy, I don't care what anybody says.I am not sure I'm feeling the arctic sets either, all that much. Maybe I'll get the smallest few ones just for the pieces and minifigs, though. The colors are really nice. Quote
Boettner Builds Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) New parka hats, snow shoes, huskies... Edited March 14, 2014 by redtrooper27 Quote
Maniac4Legos Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 There is this little coin bank set. This set is available now through the spring catalog and online at the lego shop website. It's $15. Doesn't say in the catalog that it's exclusive. Drop coins in the hole on the top. One minifig. It's a nice build IMO but I wonder how it looks when the coins drop in. I think maybe you get up really early and hunt for the latest pics. Thanks for all your effort, J2G! You're a good guy, I don't care what anybody says. I don't mean to be mean but I am not happy with that "getting up early to find pics" comment. I know I'm not him so I don't have the same lifestyle as j2g but this is early enough for me. I'm grateful for him finding them now even if it's in the morning. People need sleep even if they're ambitious to find lego news. If not then one can be up all not exhausted and maybe find very few bits of information. Being a close friend of J2G, I know he already stays up late finding pics. So be grateful for that at least. But I want him to do well with school and other things. So like any other person, he needs sleep so he can function his best. Don't believe me? Ask science! Also I think J2G is a good guy too. He does a lot and gives a lot for this lego community. I'm grateful for his contributions. I am not sure I'm feeling the arctic sets either, all that much. Maybe I'll get the smallest few ones just for the pieces and minifigs, though. The colors are really nice. The smaller ones look good so far. I'd at least like to get a taste of the theme before diving in full. Quote
Graysmith Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Since Tesco's image viewer is pretty horrendous, here are some direct image links for those Arctic sets: 60032: http://tesco.scene7.com/is/image/tesco/465-4419_PI_TPS2106458?wid=2200&ht=2000 http://tesco.scene7.com/is/image/tesco/465-4419_PI_TPS2106459?wid=2200&ht=2000 60033: http://tesco.scene7.com/is/image/tesco/691-3087_PI_TPS2106415?wid=2200&ht=2000 http://tesco.scene7.com/is/image/tesco/691-3087_PI_TPS2106206?wid=2200&ht=3300 60034: http://tesco.scene7.com/is/image/tesco/587-7077_PI_TPS2106487?wid=2200&ht=2000 http://tesco.scene7.com/is/image/tesco/587-7077_PI_TPS2106443?wid=2200&ht=2000 Quote
gunm Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Nice, thanks for the new box art shots. Hm, I didn't want to get the helicopter at first, but the more I see, the more I like! Quote
Lordofdragonss Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 It plane set there is a new mold for old steel detector. No stud :( Quote
just2good Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 I think maybe you get up really early and hunt for the latest pics. Thanks for all your effort, J2G! You're a good guy, I don't care what anybody says. Aww, thanks Sinner! That means a lot! And thanks 'Graysmith' for finding the direct links to the pics! Quote
lightningtiger Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Now some hi-res images eh ? Interesting use of the Friend's handlebars for the huskies, that is a printed 2x2 curved slope (er, yeah only useful for Arctic themed work ) and a female member of the Arctic team......with a female torso ! Even though I said I'm not interested in the Arctic sub-theme......the sky-crane and tracked truck do have modifying potential.....the sky-crane minus it's Arctic symbols and the tracked truck - four wheels instead of tracks for my city services area of AC.....reminds me of one of these....

Toby Adams Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 I bought my High Speed Police Chase a few days ago and boy is it a awesome set ! I love the fact the minifigures can be easily modded to fleshies and then the scramblers, whoa, just so much customizing potential! I made the black bike completely black and then the red one, well i guess i have found my a new fire motorbike! The only thing is that its £13 ....I think i'll buy two more when it discounts . Quote

Remember you do get three minifigs, one being a female crook and a new torso police officer......so not to bad a price....they are 19 bucks here in Oz. Quote
