that thing is really swimming in tiles, and I don't mean the patio ones. Take a look at the top of the walls where they meet the roof -- the roof comes off!! This is one awesome set. But I don't think the door is Legorado - it looks like it has six clear panes in it.

This set looks awesome! Look at all of those 1x1 tiles, amazing for a set. Lots of red slopes, lots of white, you can't go wrong. As for calling people yanks... I live in Alabama, and if you call anyone a yank down here, you will probably end up being murdered by a seemingly unhomicidal person

Actually, 7045 Hovercraft Hideout is a pretty decent set, with great parts. If I had managed to take advantage of the recent 50% of sale at Zellers, I would've gotten a few more to add to my 1 copy. But $39.99 + tax is a bit expensive for my tastes...wlister wrote:4857 Doc Ock's Fusion Lab - 2 windows.

It is nice to see a set worth buying with black windows though. By worth buying, I meant worth buying for castle builders. I am sure many people like the Battrax and that police stuff, but I am a castle only kind of guy. As to the other two sets with them now, I'd only buy them at 50% off or better. Even then I'm not sure I'd buy them.

I think it is!
It is either a door or a space filled in with black bricks. But the set has moving windows, so a door is likely. It HAD BETTER be a LEGOREDO door.

I have noticed (though) that TLC has started uesing a lot more pieces in their sets rather then large molded peices, which make me happy
. also If any body wants to figure it up how much would this set be in US dollars?

Is there a separate Shop at Home site for European buyers? If so, where can I find it.
Also, if there are separate sites, why would they show a set that they don't intend to release in North America on the North American site?
By the way, you can call me a yank any time you want... I don't consider it to be a derogatory term. I can see why those crazy ol' Canucks might be a tad bothered though.

Contrary to popular belief, not all Canadians are polite, maple syrup is not a staple of our diets, we don't live in igloos and we don't all say eh. On a personal note, I do not drive a ski-doo, I have never eaten poutine, I don't like Canadian bacon, but I do watch a lot of hockey.
Back on topic we will likely see this set available by November. As others have said we are usually a month or so behind. Be patient, it will be here.

Hello!
Black windows have also been available in 1592 (harhar, great source, easily to achieve...).
) Many items are not available in America and Europe at the same time, however, in the majority of cases all items will be available everywhere eventually like the Vladek Attack sets. Right now that KK2 Clock with the printed Jayko is not available in Germany, for example.

You can find it by setting the country in the drop-down menu beneath "Shopping Cart will ship to:" to an European country. (Please consult an atlas to find European countriesdoctorsparkles wrote:Is there a separate Shop at Home site for European buyers? If so, where can I find it.
