here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Christian Gemuenden

Hi all, you will find more new 2001 images on the following website: www.1000steine.de ! It's obviously scans taken from the full german '2001-1' catalogue, but as there is still no "real" Technic in there, I'm sure the 2001-2 catalogue will bring (...)

(...) I Don't Know, but if that "girl" hair fits minifigs, I can tell you what Hermione from "Harry Potter" will look like. Is that frizly male hair? -John Rudy (...) (24 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Don Heyse

(...) Yes. This picture looks like it has the hair from the three main characters of the Harry potter books. (URL) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Thomas Main

(...) It does indeed look like the three main characters from the Harry Potter books. Which leads me to the question: why? I do not think LEGO would release the main characters from an upcoming theme ahead of the theme's release. These are a brand (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) Looks like new figures which are slightly bigger than mini-figures, more realistic look and more joints. Take a look at (URL) like the arm can go straight and when seated the figure need a 2x3 space. Those sets are not attractive however. (...)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Jude Beaudin

(...) It looks like it will only be a Europian release. I say that because it was not in the NA catalog. I can only hope the Creator figs do not catch on to replace minifigs. That is all we need... Jude (24 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Erik Olson

"Creator" figures look like a Technic figure at Fabuland scale. The theme matches the Mickey Mouse age group. And, aside from the new Belville it's the only thing that resembles real life? Unless you count Movie as the new subtheme of Town. Hey, (...) (24 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Things have gone from bad to worse.More Juniorisation new lines that I think no one will buy at full price and no new proper town sets.If this continues in 2002 I may need to find another hobby Visu PS:Anyone interested in buying used Lego?(TFIC) (24 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

(...) It will be like buying <set:4216 4216 "Circus"/"Animals on Parade"> just to get 3 yellow fence pieces. In favor of "Creator", some have a pile of unused pieces.

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Nick Cameron

I think Lego will slowly raise the size of adult minifigures, so by the time Harry Potter comes out, they'll have the normal minifigs to use as children. I Pray not.

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Erik Olson

If Gary Istok builds only to the 60s Town Plan scale, the minifig generation will then appreciate his viewpoint! However, Alpha Team has minifigs. Star Wars has minifigs. (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Eng Wee Lean

Erick Olson, I believe there is some special reasons of no town set in year 2001. Therefore, I express my viewpoint to all of fans. Hopefully, they may pay attention. Best regards, Wee Lean (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Gary Istok

(...) Thanks Erik. For the sake of all you folks out there I hope they don't change the scale of LEGO again. Just remember from 1957-73 it was 1 door = 3 bricks high. Then from 1974-77 it was 1 door = 4 bricks high with those minifig stiffs. And (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Hi Gary, not all of us can "remember" facts about 1957-1973, but I digress (hey.. my first Lego memory was in 1976 when I built a prairie. You know, the thing that boats tie up to on a lake. I wanted to put a little house on it but I really never (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Gary Istok

Erik, Yeah I guess most folks wouldn't remember the 50's (I have so few memories myself :-) , but the current window assortment just doesn't give AFOL's enough windows to build with. I don't know what TLC's fixation with doors is all about. They (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Erik Olson

I am getting a really good picture of those Minitalia windows... it's making my pupils dilate! So, I have the new white 2x1x2 to stack in different ways, but no white 1x3x4 door, only red. The 1x3x2 would sure solve the width but I like the x4 too (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.general)

Re: here comes the next wave of 2001 sets... —Gary Istok

I too thought the 375 castle was the last set with the 1x1x1 windows, but then I remembered that there was a parts pack (in the lugnet database) #836, which came out in 1982, and had the large modern (4 lights) door, the 70's 1x3x4 door, the modern (...)
