Site update Posted by Huw, Jun 1 2008 10:20AM
I have re-enabled news commenting, merely a week after saying I would not. Why? Well, despite the hard work needed to keep you lot in order, the site is kinda boring without them.
HOWEVER: The moderators will not tolerate any off-topic or pointless posts, so don't even bother. If your post does not 'add value' to the news story, it will be deleted.
The good news is that Dr. S. has agreed that you can use the Tabletown forums for more general LEGO discussions, so please take them over there.

Thanks to everyone who sent us the Agents and Coast Guard Platform pictures, I have now added them. It looks like they came off the cache at LEGO.com so hopefully they'll be added to the shop soon!
I have to say, the coast guard platform looks quite interesting, but wouldn't it be better if it were an oil rig! Maybe that's an idea for a future sea-based theme...

Aaron wrote to us to say "There is a Lego store opening in Chandler Fashion Square in a few weeks, grand opening on June 27th. This is pretty exciting news for AZ Lego fans since the closest Lego store is in California."
Sounds like excellent news if you're in Arizona -- if you are why not get along to the opening and meet up with other Brickset users!

You can now order the VW Beetle from Amazon. It's shipping from October 1st, apparently. The price at $120 seems quite a lot. I hope that doesn't translate to £80-90 when the UK price is known.
There's something about the model that doesn't look quite right to me: the roof and pillars. As my friend Ralph suggested, perhaps a conversion to a convertible will be in order.

If you live in the U.S. and missed the exclusive Target early release of the Castle set 7036 Dwarves Mine, and have also not been able to get it from LEGO S@H and are worried that you may have missed out on a chance to get this amazing set, do not worry! The latest Toys R Us advertising shows that the set is available there now along with all the other new Castle sets apart from 7048 and the impulse range. This is good news for U.S. consumers as this set is currently the highest rated set in the database, and having missed out on it would have been a real shame.
