BryanKinkel Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 There has been speculation on this deep in other threads. But here we have a post from Jan on 1000steine.de - 1000steine post Using the Google translate tool, it comes to something like this - "The Vikings line is a purely European line. It is sold with the European spielzeughaendlern as well as vorrausichtlich with S@H. The Dino Attack line, as her in the photos of the NY Toy fair saw it, is a pure north America line. It will not give the Dino Attack line in this form in Europe, also not with S@H." Google translation Perhaps someone can translate the post better than Google. Will Americans be able to purchase the Viking line via Shop@Home? A post farther down the thread on also notes that the Anniversary tubs will be for North America only. Bryan Quote
DoubleT Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 From what the Lego company told me, the Vikings will be world wide...... Like evry theme there ever bin..... Quote
Vader Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If anything i would expect europe to have the viking sets first before the US, but i would be shocked if they werent released in the states. Quote
jonfett Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I hope that Lego does not decide to sell certain themes in only a few countries, that would be stupid :/ Maybe Apo can translate a bit of German for us? Jon. Quote
David85 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Oh my god!!!! Just let the megablocking rumours end! Why would Lego spend the money to make sets and never release them world wide? That is dumber than changing the color, even more so considering that America doesn't even have a Lego plant and they would have to make the Dino sets in another country anyways. And here's a thought... when they changed the greys Jake didn't even know, we knew before him, so maybe this guy misunderstood. Wouldn't surprise me Lego does hire some dumb people. Quote
MattZitron Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 From what the Lego company told me, the Vikings will be world wide...... Like evry theme there ever bin..... The Red Ninja sets never reached the UK. Quote
DoubleT Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well I can try to translate, from Jan at 1000stein.de Hallo LLL, (Hallo LLL) mit diesen beiden Linien werden wir verschiedene M Quote
DoubleT Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 And MattZitron the Red Ninja was in Europe, but only in Selected Stores... I have even seen them in London... Quote
jonfett Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Der Sinn der Sache ist, die richtigen Produkte f Quote
Jipay Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 This would be fair enough : the big copters and tanks for the US and the way nicer vikkings for europe. A punishment for war ? :P Quote

ApophisV Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 To confirm this: Jan Beyer said that the Vikings are exclusively for Europe while the Dino's will only be available in the States... Quote
sam89 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Yep, and Jan Beyer works for Lego, so it's official. Which will REALLY piss American people off. Quote
DoubleT Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well if its true, they will have the "Great" G.I. Joe sets insted ;) Quote
MattZitron Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I'll hook anyone up if they need! And Red Ninja in London? I never sawed them. Damn dirty bastards probably hided them frum me! Quote
Jipay Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 If it's true it will be fun to see we will sell them items they want really bad on ebay for really high prices like they did the last few years with us :-D Revenge is sweet :| Quote
Vader Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 It will be a shame if lego starts doing this, but still im sure we would all cope and as matt pointed out im sure we could help each other out. Quote
snefroe Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 the question is, WHY would they just sell this in Europe? Quote
sam89 Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 They obviously don't think that this line would sell well in america, and that the DINO Attack sets wouldn't sell well in Europe. Quote
DoubleT Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I have just recieved news from Lego (Jake) Its indeed true Vikings will be out In Europe, and Dinosaurs in America.......... So the very last speculation is over...... DoubleT Quote
snefroe Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 did they tell you more about the why-question? more than "it won't sell"? Quote
Athos Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well this is one American who isn't happy, hence the unhappy face ---> :( I hope we can at least get them from S@H. Steve Quote
Jipay Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Well this place is mostly european, I'm sure someone will help you getting the vikings :) Quote
