Duh! I forgot what I think is pretty big news. The Thomas rumours are true.
He'll be along later this year. In Duplo, but still... hope LEGO didn't have to
pay through the nose.
And, I saw the long awaited LEGO StarWars game, it's now almost done and will
come out around Ep 3 timeframe, as it has Ep 3 stuff in it (which I didn't see
and couldn't talk about even if I had). Very cool game, it has FPS, platformer
(collect hearts to boost your health type things), 2d (ala Zaxxon) ship combat,
and path driven in flight ship combat among other things, depending on what
level you are on.... they had it on the PS2 but I expect it will be on mutiple
platforms (if it's not on Game Cube, Nik will be quite annoyed, I am sure, he's
the sweet spot for this game and it should be a hit, alhtough probably would
have been a bigger hit a year ago)
I got to play with the big new Technic crane, it's sweet. Lots of clever stuff
in there and it (or at least this prototype, not all the models we got to play
with are production yet) has the Racers motor rather than a gray motor. I know
people were interested in how the two technic cylinders can be mated back to
back so I tried to take alot of pics of that.
The Technic big forklift has technic bricks in it... in the pallet that it picks
up! Everything else is studless.
The new Designer Sub set... TOTALLY ROCKS! It's going to have some sort of FLL
tie in too, according to the media kit I got.

| I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Lego StarWars 2005 V.I.P. Gala event at the LEGO showroom at 25th and Broadway, in NYC, as part of this year's Toy Fair, so naturally I went... I uploaded a bunch of pics to BrickLink. They haven't been (...) (20 years ago, 20-Feb-05, to lugnet.year.2005, lugnet.lego) !!
