Un-frigging believable!  The minifig doesn't have the 6005 arches for hands like
the prototype does.

Well, forget buying THAT ugly thing - the prototype looked really good - the final
product SUCKS.

There is also a new promotional set that retails for $9.99, or is free with a
$75 catalog purchase. The set is 3439 Spy Runner, a small aircraft with a
ground support vehicle.

Did anyone else get their S@H Catalog yet? I got mine over the weekend. It • says

at LEGO.com and it still says it's not possible to do that.

A couple sets caught my eye though...

The 20" mini-fig set. Builds a smiley-faced mini-fig in overhauls and green
baseball cap. Over 1,800 pieces. $150. Now everyone can have their own LEGO
Buddy. I wish it was a Star Wars character though.

The Steven Spielberg movie maker set with camera. The camera is probably the
reason for the $180 price tag. The road plates in it break apart to simulate • an
earthquake, complete with lava in the fissure. Steven Spielberg is also
represented in mini-fig scale. The best mini-fig in the set though is the
female starlet with the blue tube top!

Better start saving now...

  Re: New S@H Catalog - Pictures
 
You can probably build one of those things (or a close equivalent) with a few tubs at a third the cost. I would have considered buying something like the prototype, with lots of slopes, but I can't see any reason to buy the production model. I feel (...)
