As the title says;
Does someone have news about US Exclusive sets (Target ones etc)  for 2012?
Usually the first images appear around this time of year...

 :o :o :o :o :o :o I want!!!!!!! Look at that price, though! Looks like they have seen how much this stuff goes for on ebay in the US. Also explains why the new car came off the market so fast. :hmm:

There's some great stuff in that set. The price all seem to be pretty high these days.

You can still buy the old timer car from UK DS at £13.

It was only available in the US for what seemed like a few weeks. I don't think it was even 6 months. :-\ I didn't get a chance to get one.

I can't wait to receive this! Studying the picture, it doesn't look like there are curtains in the windows, or the laced blind in the attic window. There does appear to be something inside. Surely, there will be some furnishings! I hope that there's a nice wallpaper. Looking forward to more pics! Hopefully, before mid-August.

I don't get it...is it just PART of a victorian house?  Even from that limited angle there doesn't appear to be a continuation of the edifice beyond one "window length" deep (onlyh has 3 roof sections and then it stops there.   The smallest foundation piece for a mansion is only one window length wide, though I'm not aware of any walls that are smaller than 2 windows wide.
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!

I think that the green car is also availble in Iberia.. If you need one, let me know - I don't know about shipping to the US, but it shouldn't be a fortune.

It does seem to be a VERY small portion of a victorian house, like an entryway. I would think for that price there may be some furnishings.

Tahra, thanks, I'll think about it. My playmo budget is almost non-existant right now though, so I have to think carefully how I spend it.
