Put me down for the bear and the rangers hat.

Put me down for the bear and the rangers hat.

Ditto. This is an interesting spin on the regular police/fire subthemes and makes for some standout sets. Very cool!

[Draykov]

Agreed...it's a nice way to continue a sure-fire, staple theme while putting a new spin on it.

Bear = Awesome

Check out the modified bricks at the base of the building!

i'm not sure how i feel about those brick style bricks.

actually, i do know: i don't like em.

[buriedbybricks]

I wonder how long it will take for them to show up in the modular builds.

[Mister Ed]

Love the bear. Not sure I'm willing to buy the sets it comes with, though. (Police just isn't my taste.)

I'm liking the garbage truck way too much. I think, like the Superman set, I'll buy it the first chance I get.

I spotted the Heavy Duty Chopper, as well as the Forest Police Station at my local TrU, although I wouldn't expect to see them next time I venture back. I'm actually kind of excited for the Dirt Bike Truck (4433), but I won't hold my breath for it this year .

It's neat to see something different this year with City.

Maybe I'll pick up one of these sets, they look nice.

The building is cool, I like that its become alot more modern and not just a block with windows, this has a five star play factor, spot on for the target market.

[Bellicose]

Looks like the full assortment is available at S@H now...not just the initial releases.

I LUG NY did a parts draft of the Forest Police Headquarters. I now have a nice pile of those brick bricks in-hand. I like them a lot for certain applications, like 2-brick high stone walls (lots of those in New England). Putting them at a 90 degree angle looks weird. Didn't get any bears, but I played around with one briefly and I dream of one day amassing a Russian bear cavalry of my own. It's pretty cool, all legs can move independently.
