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 http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=7239
7240 Fire Headquarters http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=7240-1
4881 Robots Creator set http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Query=4881
and few of the new $9.99 racer sets (I bought a 8647 Night Racer and it
seems to have a new chrome color - the color appears to be molded rather
than chromed afterwards, so it's duller than regular chrome, but not the
same as pearl gray color)
They also had 2 new sets that I don't think have been mentioned anywhere yet
8652 Enzo Farrari 1:17 car - 477 pieces at $39.99 (I bought one of these)
The other was a floating boat with an age of 5+ that seemed to use some
regular pieces but also larger pieces. Interestingly, rather than using Jack
Stone type figures, it uses 2 regular minifigs.
Oh, they also had the new 4+ pirates as well.
I bought the 8652 which looks pretty good. It's not Technic, more model team
than anything and has a few new parts. I will try and get some pictures up
online soon.
Hope it helps,
Richard.
