Well since we now have pictures of the 2001 German catalog see: (URL) want someone to explain the new Lego Creator line to me. On one hand it seems to be positioned to replace Lego Basic.

| | Please re-release the old baseplates!!
|
|
I was looking through a small Lego catalog from 1991 and was wishing for some more baseplate choices. The runway plates would be great to have again <set:5158> and <set:5159>. Of course, the most sought after would be the black space landing plates (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jan-01, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Actually, I think the Hogwarts Express is a VERY likely candidate for inclusion in the HP Lego series, but probably NOT as a 9v train line item. Think Time Twisters Twisted Time Train (6497) rather than true Lego 9v Train. Lego is thinking for sets (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.trains, lugnet.dear-lego)
