Those sets all look realy nice! LEGO is going back to that awesome 1985-95 town look. The port, the gas station, the recycle truck and all retakes of nice sets from those years.

Can't wait to se more of what they do with Castle...

Yeah, castle looks pretty decent... are those metallic flags new? ...I guess I could have checked peeron ;)

One thing about that castle though... it's a mighty long jump from the throne to the ground!! rotflol

The 7998 Heavy Hauler kit appears to be the hot item or in short supply.

The two TRU stores in Winnipeg did not have the 7998 kit in stock and their online store is already sold out.

Hmph, at least your stores have the 2007 town sets. I checked my TRU at Lansdowne Centre today and they only had a bunch of Fire theme sets. I guess they're clearing those out at 20% off to make room for the new stuff. :evil:

Some of the new Mars Mission and the Seaport were at the TRU in Victoria on Saturday. Interestingly, all the town sets were on sale - Including the Seaport!

I've seen pics of the cement mixer and am sorely disappointed to see that the mixer is basically one piece. It come in half lengthways with pins to hold it together. Here I was gatting my hopes all up for a six wide cone and round bricks.
