    Some 2005 sets showing up already in regular stores. —Richard Morton
   Hi everyone, I have just returned from ToysRUs in Fond-Du-Lac WI and to my suprise they have some of the new 2005 sets in stock already - including a couple that I don't think have been mentioned yet. Among others, they had: 7239 Fire Truck (URL) (...) (20 years ago, 21-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005)

     (...) Any pictures of the new sets? Kinda odd that there is no pics on brickset and nothing on lego.com about most of these sets yet. Mark (20 years ago, 22-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005)

      (...) It's not radio controled. I just got one at my TRU, and some of the other 2005 sets. I'll try and get pics or scans up soon. -Dan RUbin (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005)

     (...) Thanks for the pic Bryan. Earlier today I went to a TRU and purchased one so I had already seen the box in person. I almost didn't buy it because I think the stickers used for the headlights are very unappealing. I think they make it look like (...)

     (...) The headllights aren't stickers. The headlights are printed slopes, and everything else is stickers. It's very weird. You've probably opened yours by now, but thought I'd put it out there. -Dan Rubin (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005, FTX)

     (...) Doh! (...) Thanks for the info Dan. I haven't opened mine yet (won't until X-mas). It looks like those are 'Slope Brick 18 4 x 2'. I have a couple plain red ones in my collection so I guess I can still work around the ugly headlights. Do they (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005, FTX)

     Someone on the website obviously noticed the traffic increase and either pulled the pictures (possibly due to LEGO intervention) or stopped deep linking. Either way, they are gone (20 years ago, 8-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.year.2005)
