    What about the latest Castle sets? The Orc horde make for some mean looking machinery:



    How about the latest Creator sets. The white convertible in particular is excellent. With a wokring coverting roof that folds into the boot at the flick of a switch:



    How about some green:

    Oh dear, I suddenly have this feeling of liking those Orc Horde sets, DAAAARRN! Those things look wonderfully nasty! Are those three the only released set for them so far? Hmmm Now how am I suppose to fit them in with the Lego town theme?.... space need more space

    Anyways been busy setting up the town to the other room (Lego room). Just a few shots.. too many mini sets incorporated within... so just have shots of the bigger ones, with the littluns spread here and there, still missing a lot, need to get more roadplates as well

    Wonderful City Lego sets liege!!! I love those little cabins (red house with yellow roofs) and the cafe/food stalls scene! Very nice! Can I suggest you add Creator set 4996 Beach House to your city? It's mini-fig scale except for the chairs outside but its a wonderful house you can add to your city. There's a few other Creator houses you can add as well such as 4954 Model Townhouse.

    The Orc horde, theres those three and also the Dwarven mine and Orc Ship. That Battle Wheel is exclusive to TRU so that's the only place you can get that.

    Awesome Leige. Looks like you need some blue baseplates for water and an airport. That beachhouse Stompy suggested is good too. I bought two of them for my daughter who loved making them.

    My acquisitions lately include all released Agents sets so far including 7 and 8, The SW Republic Fighter Tank and the Mars Mission Hypersonic Operations Craft. Also got the small Mars Mission fighter jet (unsure of name) but have modded it to be double the size with more weapons and a rear compartment to carry the Martian victim in.

    Picked up at the recent Target toy sale.

    8158: Speed Racer & Snake Oiler
    8159: Racer X & Taejo Togokhan
    8636: Mission 7: Deep Sea Quest







    Both the Speed Racer sets are very neat, the cars are sleek and well designed. Only gripes is the interior of the cars are a bit bare, some weapons would of been nice and the sticker sheet oh god the sticker sheet (I'm looking at Taejo and Snake Oiler here). Other than that they look fantastic all lined up side by side. I really hope Lego do more of these minifig scale Racer sets in the future.

    I really like the Deep Sea Quest set from the Agents line. That submarine is long, longer than what I had expected. It's about as long as my Lego Star Wars Republic Attack Gunship. I really like black trawler, Lego was nice enough to give you a spring loaded missile shooter instead of the flick ones that you usually get. But my favourite part of the set is the Slimeface minifig, he just looks absolutely fantastic!

    And the animal head in the back of the transport semi.
    I also like the use of the crater plates for the construction scene.

    Thanks guys, took me three hours to figure out a more presentable arrangement for the roadplates seeing as I dont have a lot of choices to arrange it. Which is why Im hoping to get more. Sorry if the pics came out blurry, hard to focus with trembly hands. MV75 did you spot the pet monkey cleaning in the Fire station . there are a lot of nooks I didnt take a shot of (e.g. the crime scene, the runaway criminal, skinny dipper trio).

    Stompy I saw those beach houses and am indeed going to get em, thank goodness for layby. TDD I actually saw blue baseplates but only on ebay, and Ive tried to bid on some ( some have islands design as well) but always end up outbid or back off due to it reaching such exorbitant price range. It would be great to have a lot of those though

    Darn I really like those orc sets... guess Ill add that to the layby... darn TRU exclusive

    I finally opened the first of my Speed Racer (8158) sets and was very impressed with them. Very sleek, well designed and fun. The stickers are easier than they look too.

    Damn Stompy, that Convertible Creator set is huge. (I'm assuming thats the Voyager Grimlock behind it for size comparison) Had my eyes on that the other night.

    And can anyone tell me why that Dinosaur creator set is so damn heavy?
