Whooooo!!) I hope Harley's Hammer Truck is available sooner, or I'll be way skint come August...

I was really after the gobbo and dwarf minifigs, but the Troll Warship has grown on me pretty quickly. The price/piece point count is pretty poor, but I suspect that has to do with so many figs along with the ship pieces, dragon, and cloth items. The dark brown is an absolutely lovely color, the ship has some cute details (the troll's drum is the stand-out), and I have a soft spot for the dragon and rider. I put magnet bricks on its feet and now they're swooping down from the fridge! I just received the Troll Warship and the Mine Defender.

It looks better, much more complete, then the skeleton attack boat. I just wish there was a TRU anywhere near here, but the only one in Montana is in Billings. It's annoying not having retail access to things like the Troll Battle Wheel, which has been out for months. Nobody in Helena or Bozeman carries it. I'm just glad I managed to get the Dwarves' Mine before it vanished last fall. I’ll definitely be ordering a few of these, especially that ship.

So I guess this time it was Europes turn to get some early releases. Also some US stores are really early with releases. Amongst others You can already buy some of sets in the agents line on Toys R' Us stores in the US. I think someone stated that they were to be released in august.

I saw the battlewheel in stores a couple of days ago, and ordered the tower raid set which should arrive tomorrow. That’s weird.. seems like we’re getting all these sets earlier here in Romania.
