Meanwhile I’m just here waiting for the official Battlepack pictures for next year. We’ve been waiting so long for updated PLAIN Phase II Troopers!!
OMG, why is there a near-naked minifigure in a hut in the woods?!
Awesome huh @ The Anonymous Hutt! Even better is the new part in that set – the beehive :-)
@The Anonymous Hutt:
It is actually a bit surprising. Given the tub, the spilled water, the scrub brush, and the claw marks, it seems pretty clear that this dude was just mixing his own business at his little hermitage, taking his hobo bath, when that ferocious beast attacked him and scratched him all up. You’d think between that and the bear that also happens to be in the area, he would have been more concerned with his safety than his modesty.
@Elspeth:
Hey, now. It’s just a minifig. Try not to get _too_excited, there.
OMG, that Outback Adventure . . I have seen real-life off-roaders that look worse than that thing. And, even though it only includes one minifigure, it can seat two! To say nothing of the assortment of interesting parts used.
As for the Mountain Arrest . . . yay, “another” helicopter. But is that an official beehive piece I spy on the little shack there? Also, while I know everyone loves a new police station about as much as they love a new helicopter, I actually really hope they come out with a ‘Mountain Police Station’ this year. My Winter Village needs a law presence, and I’ve been hoping and waiting for a Mountain City line.
The Forest Tractor also looks like it’ll be right at home in my Winter Village . . actually, a lot of this stuff does. All I’m gonna need is a bit more snow.
Finally, I have to say I’m a little curious as to what they were thinking with the Modular Skate House. While Modular Buildings are fun and I certainly approve of continuing the line into the foreseeable future . . . it just looks incredibly abstract and unrealistic . . . though maybe the rebuilds will surprise me? Either way, it also looks interesting, so I’m hopeful that a better look at it will also prove it worthy of my time and money. ^^
