Hey, this sounds really promising!! I just hope it won't be ZNAP-like....

August - LEGO, Jack Stone

It seems to be rather some rescue-splitoff than connected to Johnny Thunder...

October - LEGO, Harry Potter
4701 to 4709
$NZ 20 to $NZ280

Will this be a theme within the System line (with regular minifigs) or some Bellevillesque or Creator-like stuff?

I'm already curious....

thanks for the info

Arnold

Any ideas who this Jack Stone guy is?

Some sort of action hero/law enforcer/fireman, judging by the set names.

These haven't been mentioned or shown in the LugDB because they were in
neither the US or German catalogues. However we saw last year Lego switching
to a two catalogues a year system (no advernturers, mickey, big technic, big
starwars etc in the first). I guess lego has it's reasons for doing this,
buggered if I know what they are though.
Short story? the set are probably genuine, hang about for more info middle
of the yearish (read september for Australia)

James (who is unimpressed with Lego's ablity to disseminate information
about it's own company structure, let alone the (paying) public.)

Point taken James
But I will most probably still get some LOM from the States quicker than
Lego will have these kits in Australia.
I purchased 2 just on Xmas and paid probably as much as what they will cost
when they finally arrive here.
Lom surfaced in the US about Sept/Oct and it is very annoying as to the time
Lego takes to bring these new items to us in Australia.
Sorry if I am neg and having a winge but I am tired of seeing the empty
shelves in most of our toy stores in Brisbane.

No worries, you're right about being able to get sets from the states at a
comparable price much earlier, (although it was Nov/Dec we saw LoM) that's
one of the drawbacks about living in Australia. However, there are points to
remember about shopping in Jan. Most stores are about to do/ just have done
stocktake. They're not ordering in anything much at all, let alone lego.
There have been a round of Stocktake sales, removing stock from
christmas-emptied shelves and finally, Lego Australia is still waiting for
it's first quater shipment from Denmark, before stores get 2001 line stock.
Sure it looks dire at the moment, but give it a six months and we'll be
having 25-50% off half yearlys where they dig out the stockrooms and sell
almost everything one might want (or need).

James (who, though he hates his retail job, find it pays for bricks.)

Maybe Jack Stone is an Alpha Team character?
