Set #9898 Titanic
Includes 20k pieces.
The most historicaly accurate set that we have ever made!
Sail aboard the doomed liner, smell the cold salt air, the rotting corpses
floating in the water.
Can you, the Lego Maniac, get Jack and Rose together before the ship collides
with 139 white BURPS?
Set #9899 White House Bedroom
Includes 332 pieces including one minifig President (with yellow legs), one
Female Intern, and one stand-by-my-man-even-though-he-cheated-on-me First Lady
Uh Oh! Look what old Bill is up to now!
Can you, The Lego Maniac, get it on with the intern before wifey comes in with
your tea?
Set #9999 SlamTrack Metro Express
Includes two engines, three cars, 14 minifigs and two rescue vehicles.
The Metro Express races through the mountains, her lights gleaming like a
flash of lightning. Suddenly, just as engineer George takes a last swig of his
vodka bottle, another passenger train races around the corner. George takes a
drunken look at the train and slams the brakes...but..it is too late.....
Can you, The Lego Maniac defend yourself in court as screaming family members
try to kill you, and lawyers try to explain that even though you were holding
a bottle of Vodka you were not drunk....
That about sums it up.
