No, I mean their main staple. They've kept the town line and keep expanding into different aspects every year.

Ah. Gotchya. The same article reflected that City, Space and Castle are their staples. They will always revisit each periodically.

Great lot Fungal. Very nice. I like the older sets compared to the new ones in the sense that there's a lot more obvious conventional Lego pieces being used. Not that I don't like the smooth surfaces a lot of today's legos have, it's a nice classic feel.

The first 4 Exo-Force units. They look very nice and there's the great fold up flaps to boot. Can't wait to build them. Lots of wasted space though.

The alternate models for 7700 and 7701 are excellent. Build them if you can. There's some official "instructions" for 7701 here and 7700 here but they are pretty sparse and a lot of guess work required as it skips a lot of steps. Rest assured they are both great alternate models and I actually prefer them over the originals.
7703 is the least interesting of the lot and 7702 is my favorite in that line. Most likely due to the fact that it's got a more fully formed body than the flat backed others. Enjoy them, they are great! I'm still mourning the end of the line.

Was at Chadstone Shopping Centre today, picked myself up 7681: Separatist Spider Droid from Toys 'R' Us and 8631: Mission 1: Jet Pack Pursuit from K-Mart, I was actually looking for the new Transformers Universe toys there but alas there were none so I grabbed that just for the heck of it.
