what will the 08 surprise be?

Postby timber_wolf899 » Thu Nov 01, 2007 8:38 pm

I seem to recall that we were promised some sort of special surprise for late in 08?

ANy speculation as to what this could be?

In 2008 we have two Impulse items, six new retail products including account exclusives and a very special item coming at the end of the year too (wait and see!).

It's a bley Creator series remake of the yellow castle with instructions for two additional models. No minifigs.


This is wishful thinking and not based on any information.

Hmm... I honestly feel... nothing much upon reading that... not sure why... but it seems that if I wanted to make a bley Yellow Castle, I'd just buy some bley from Troy and download the instructions...

Too bad there are no figs...

Perhaps there are sticker sheets? That would be worth it just to replace/repair those that are from the '70's. :)

So is this the rumored surprise then?

No. Did you miss the second line of my post where I say I completely made that up?

I personally am hugely in favor of a castle-building creator set. If they can do houses, why not castles? I love the house sets and own at least one copy of each one they've produced. Modeling it after the yellow castle would just be a bit of fan-service.

I'd kind of forgotten about that... I'm excited and intrigued all over again.

You think we (or at least eurobricks) would have heard about it by now. Its getting near to the end of the year.

That's not really an item. :wink: Though it would be good news.

I'd like to see a Creator half-timbered house set, with extras to make either a medieval version of the building or one in a contemporary setting. There are 400+ year old houses all over Europe so why not put one in a house set?

I really think the Very Special Surprise is going to be an UCS Castle with 2000+ parts (not minifig scale, but close)

Ah~

No, but I thought your meaning was that this was the "word on the street", so to speak...

I guess we can only watch and wait then...

We're talking about the end of '08, that's still a year away my friend :)

Since this thread is speculating about future sets and not discussing existing sets, it belongs in the Dear LEGO forum. I will move it there.

No, he acknowledged that one as a set we had already seen, then spoke of a set to come.
