Mmmm! Those lattice pieces from BV look mighty tasty!

And they are finally ripe!  ;-)

Not to mention the <licking lips> lamp-posts!!

Looks like I'll be getting some sets this time... (unless you're up for a
trade, Sheree? ;-)

Can't trade what I don't have.  :-(   Seriously, I will probably one of the
last people to get these sets when they come out.  Everytime I start putting
aside  money for them , I decide to go after the real thing instead.  Poof,
my money is spent...

Has anyone seen the new MMsets referred to by Lego as Fabuland.  I haven't.
They have revived some of the elements from Fabuland (thank you Lego!), and
have changed some of the other elements from FL, but MM seems to have many
elements  from other themes too.  I see some nonFabuland derived Belville,
Freestyle, and the cake is Scala.  Maybe the MM sets will need/should have
their own group.  They are not really Fabuland.   And of course the figures
are new.  That is the most positive thing that I can think to say about them
at this time.  I dearly love the real FL figures (especially the one with
hats and funky clothes...).  For me, Mickey and Minnie just aren't as sweet
or fun.

I have very contrary feelings about these sets.  Sometimes I am very excited
about them and other times their appearance only makes me mourn for the
demise/loss of the real FL.   Never was I more sure that Fabuland is dead
than when I first really looked at pictures of these sets.  Still, I will
buy these sets.  Who knows, maybe more better MM sets will follow.  The
firetruck is good, very like the original.  I do so like ladders...

I wonder if the MMsets will have the instructions in story book form.. ..

BTW, are thos sets made up from duplo pieces or lego-system? I can't quite
make up my mind, it looks like there's a bit of both in the display.

system

Then again, there are duplo bricks in the castle display, so maybe that's • just
the designers' idea of havin' fun... <grin>

I think you are very right about this.
There are some duplo MMsets too, but I think they are mainly Baby Mickey and
Baby Minnie and not the ones you are referrring to.

(...) Tell me about it... I just spent all my cash at the brickfest. There go my "savings" toward flight to .il next year. Oh well, who cares... lego is better than friends, no? ... <sigh> (...) Hmm.
