Pics of 4429 Hospital & 4207 ‘Car Park/Garage’?

Read about a possible new set from Brickset, and went about looking for more pics from LEGO World 2012.  So apart from the 4207 ’Car Park/Garage’, I think this might be the 4429 Hospital.  Unfortunately I absolutely can’t recall if I saw the new hospital set picture in the catalogue, but it does fit the description in Brickepedia.

There is also a cute little newspaper stand that I wish would be an impulse set… don’t you just love the printed tiles?

What do you think?

Pics are from Eiker86′s Flickr album for LEGO World 2012. Do pop by and browse if you wanna see more pics of these and other nice creations.

Hi-res pics of 2012 sets

Ok, admittedly I’ve been lazy. I actually saw them yesterday.  But since they are all over the web by now I’ve a feeling most people have seen them?  Some thoughts on the sets (and links to sources):

• Collectible Minifig series 7 looks good! Even tho I’m kinda over the novelty, I’ll still get at least a set for collection.
• Batcave looks… colourful. I prefer the darker looking 1st batcave. Plus I hate stickers.
• Ninjago sets are still too targetted to boys for me. I may get a few sets selectively, but no more than that.
• Star Wars is a mixed bag.  Looking forward to getting a Jabba for sure.
• Dino I will skip. Not sure how dinos will fit with my generally city themed sets and I didn’t miss the 1st incarnation anyway.
• City sets are kinda bleh. Great for saving some $ in 2012 unless H2 gives us some new themes (hospital?). If not I’ll skip the City sets and save my money for…
• Spongebob. I know… but the sets look good. Such a cute little pirate ship.
• And Friends! I know… I’m wimpy and a sucker for the accessories.
• I might skip Cars… tho they continue to look enticingly cute.  There are just too many sets and I’m not sure if I wanna start another series.
• Am not a Technic person but the 2012 sets seem to be getting some good vibes.

Do click on the links above for the pics. I’ll just share the MF7 cos that thrilled me the most from all the pics I saw. Think cos I saw the earlier leaked catalogue so most of the other hi-res pics were not a surprise.

q_159 said “found this on our german LUG-page www.1000steine.de“

Tried searching the German LUG for more info but I can’t find (I don’t understand German!). 

New pics for Creator Lighthouse Island & Hillside House

Grogall shares some new pics of alternative builds for two new Creator sets.  New set news have been slow ever since the toy fairs, so hopefully there are more to come.

Lego Creator 5771 Hill Side House

 

You can see more pics from this Eurobricks thread.

New exclusive and architecture series sets

I wasn’t too excited about the news… but then in case you are, here’s what Grogall shared in EB about 2 new exclusives and 2 new architecture series sets:

just received a list from list from a friend who works at TRU

and there are two more exclusive sets listed

Price and availability are unknown at the moment!

10220 VW Van item ID 4593087
10222 Seasonal Set ID 4593092

So 10221 is still open?

21008 Burj Khalifa-Dubai ID 4642302
21010 Farnsworth House ID 4642305

The list can be loaded from here!

The seasonal item is probably a follow-up to the winter theme… no surprise there.  VW Van is new tho.  As for the architecture sets… I’m kinda losing interest in the series…

Singapore Only: Update on March & April Arrivals

Hey, thanks to Alvin n Rekseah for the heads up.

March Arrivals

So the sets have already arrived or are arriving in Singapore stores this week depending on the usual delivery schedule, so you can head over to your favourite stores this week for some retail therapy.  Here’s the full list of March arrivals taken off ToyStation’s email:

LEGO City

• 3365 Space Moon Buggy
• 3366 Satellite Launch Pad
• 3367 Space Shuttle
• 3368 Space Center

LEGO Games

• 3852 Sunblock
• 3853 Banana Balance
• 3854 Frog Rush
• 3855 Ramses Return
• 3856 LEGO Ninjago

LEGO DUPLO

• 5945 Winnie The Pooh’s Picnic
• 5946 Tigger’s Expedition
• 5947 Winnie The Pooh’s House

LEGO Pharaoh’s Quest

• 7305 Scarab Attack
• 7306 Golden Staff Guardians
• 7307 Flying Mummy Attack
• 7325 Cursed Cobra Statue
• 7326 Rise Of The Sphinx
• 7327 Scorpion Pyramid

LEGO Technic

• 8070 Supercar

Quick computation n the LEGO Games pricing is fairly reasonable after 20% discount off local price.  SunBlock n Banana Balance is a little pricier, but not worth the trouble of shipping in & risking damaged boxes.  Supercar is still a shocking S$36 more even after 20% discount locally tho…

So far I’ve heard that the sets are already at BricksWorld, ToyStation & Metro (dunno which branch tho). 

And BricksWorld’s member specials for March/April are:

• 3368 Space Center @ $103.90 (20%)
• 5947 Winnie The Pooh’s House @ $55.90 (20%)
• 8099 Midi Scaled Imperial Star Destroyer @ $77.31 (10%)
• 8864 Desert of Destruction @ $187.11 (10%)

Don’t understand the last 2 since members get 10% off anyway, so what’s so special about the pricing??

Ok, and on to….

…

April Arrivals

Some good news and some bad news here.

The good? 10217 Diagon Alley and 8804 Collectible Minifig Series 4 are arriving in April! Yay!  And no price increase in Series 4 figs, so it’s S$3.90 each or $234 for a box of 60.

The bad? The price for DA is shockingly disgustingly bad. So bad that I feel like boycotting getting any sets locally. It’s S$319.90 vs US$149.90.  Before discount, the diff is like S$125!! S$125???! It’s like… WTF… (hey, I assume you are all adult readers and I’ve had a pretty crappy day at work… if you are offended, pls stop reading)

Even after a 20% discount, the price is still a weltering S$255.92, or S$61 more… considering that I need like 2 more… may even work out cheaper shipping in from the USA.
