Indiana Jones Temple of Doom

Temple of Doom is what we always wanted for our Indiana Jones collection and this year it will be release, but it more of a roller coaster like rail track instead of the temple itself. Well, we can't blame it for being design this way as this will let us have playability, but a limited one. Anyway Kanal-K1 has already got this set with him and he is sharing the box art with us:



I think there is a slight changes for the skull look wall, mostly the color tone and a few pieces.

I wonder if he going to get any Star Wars set and show us. =)

#7638 Tow Truck & #7642 Garage

Kanal-K1 has also completed his Tow Truck and this sets looks pretty well if combine with the red sport car that is broke down. Below are some pictures that Kanal-K1 took:




This set looks good although is quite a simple design, but a must have for those city builder to give their city more services like this one.

While is the box art of the garage, which the tow truck might need it. At least there is a place for it to carry the broken car for a repair and of course for it to park his truck.

#7747 Wind Turbine Transport

I guess I see something new, maybe I've not seen it before but not sure about the others. There will be another CITY set which is #7747 Wind Turbine Transport. The sets include a carrier truck, a wind turbine (a little like the Vestas promo set) and a small yellow truck. Below are the shot of the box art:



Thanks to Kanal-K1 for the pictures. He manages to grab hold of many unreleased LEGO sets lately and post up pictures for us to see.

Price Adjustment in LEGO Pick A Brick

There was a price hikes in the elements before this and now LEGO is adjusting them again to make it cheaper but not as cheap as the original price. There are slight increase in pricing but yup, it was a slightly increase onstead of a big increase. So this price adjustment is a good one and it certainly is a good news for the MOCers.

Below are article, taken from Brickset:
___________________________________________________________________

Dear LEGO fans

Based on all the feedback over the past week regarding our new Pick A Brick elements and pricing we will reduce the pricing on LEGO Pick A Brick elements.

There were good reasons behind our decision to raise prices of this relatively operationally complex Pick A Brick service. However, over the last week we have realised, thanks to you, that it was unacceptable to raise the prices so steeply without notice. We have acted quickly and have taken the decision to reduce the pricing on LEGO Pick A Brick elements. The prices cannot return to the original 2008 level but the increases are now much smaller. We are pleased to now offer you the biggest, most comprehensive assortment ever including:

- More colours
- Most recent doors and windows are now available in PAB and MOD
- More longer beams to enable larger constructions
- More accessories (such as hats, wigs and mini figure tools)
- More mini-figs (now with girl and child (short legs))
- More cool tires and rims

We hope to welcome you back to Pick A Brick soon.

Your LEGO team
