Lone Ranger sets featured in new consumer catalogue

Posted by BigOnBricks in United States, 17 Dec 2012 16:48

Wow, the stage coach is beautifully designed!

Posted by richardh in United Kingdom, 17 Dec 2012 16:50

AWESOME!!

Posted by halfpenguinhalflego in United Kingdom, 17 Dec 2012 16:50

Wow, very nicely made sets. Can't wait. :D

Posted by CM4S in United States, 17 Dec 2012 16:50

Wow, those look cool! Did he have any of the Iron Man 3/Man of Steel pics?

Anything else?

Posted by Legozrool in United States, 17 Dec 2012 16:51

Ok I do not know what 'the lone ranger' is but I might get a couple the sets look amazing is the pistol new

Posted by Firox 5000 in United Kingdom, 17 Dec 2012 16:53

Really liking the look of these sets now.

Posted by Graysmith in Sweden, 17 Dec 2012 16:57

That looks fantastic! The stagecoach is even better than I'd hoped for, and I love the train. All the sets look very traditional western too, which is nice. Kinda shocked that the cavalry set with 4 minifigures and a horse will only cost €14.99 too. Then again there's not a whole lot more than that, but still.

Very impressed!

Posted by Modok in United States, 17 Dec 2012 16:58

Those sets look terrific. I'm really looking forward to them, regardless of how good the movie is. And so far, nothing looks like it would compete or conflict with the Modular Western Town.

Posted by legofanatic2414 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 16:59

I love the Western theme to them!

Posted by Isabella and Lego Liker in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:00

US predictions for prices: Since Licensed sets are usually more than US in their own currency, here are my prices:

79106: $12.99
79107: $24.99
79108: $39.99
79109: $49.99
79110: $69.99
79111: $89.99

Posted by LostInTranslation in United Kingdom, 17 Dec 2012 17:00

These look great! I definitely want most if not all of them.

Posted by xccj in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:01

Is that a non-flesh colored female fig?? Sets look interesting too.

Posted by Legozrool in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:05

Wow those sets have a TON of minifigures

Posted by Murdoch17 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:11

For all who don't know about the Lone Ranger:

The Lone Ranger is a fictional character, a masked ex-Texas Ranger who, with his Native American companion Tonto, fights injustice in the American Old West. The character has become an enduring icon of American culture.

He first appeared in 1933 in a radio show conceived either by WXYZ radio station owner George W. Trendle or by Fran Striker, the show's writer. The show proved to be a huge hit, and spawned an equally popular television show that ran from 1949 to 1957, as well as comic books and movies. The title character was played on radio by George Seaton, Earle Graser, and most memorably Brace Beemer. To television viewers, Clayton Moore was the Lone Ranger. Tonto was played by, among others, John Todd, Roland Parker, and in the television series, Jay Silverheels.

Departing on his white stallion, Silver, the Lone Ranger would shout, "Hi-yo, Silver! Away!" As they galloped off, someone would ask, "Who was that masked man anyway?" Tonto usually referred to the Lone Ranger as "Ke-mo sah-bee", meaning "trusty scout" or "trusted friend.

Of course, it won't be out for Christmas...

Posted by LDM in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:21

That bank is cool. I'm liking the use of the Asian straw hat on the train, too. I can't help but think that this theme would have been the perfect excuse for dark tan cheese slopes, though :P

Posted by HokieJoe99 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:26

At least Tonto has a 1x1 plate to carry around as shown on the picture of the train. We couldn't have a Johnny Depp based minifigure without him carrying one of those.

Can anybody tell if the train is PF compatible? I doubt it will come with PF, but it would be nice to be able to easily add them.

Posted by shgg in Poland, 17 Dec 2012 17:26

79110 reminds me of 6761 Bandit's Secret Hide-out.

Posted by Lost Cosmonaut in United States, 17 Dec 2012 17:27

Wow wow wow wow! Nice to see Western sets coming back, especially ones so nice!

Posted by CDC in Slovenia, 17 Dec 2012 17:28

amazing ! ima gonna buy em all except the train set :) thanks so much for the pics, made my day.

Posted by Zordboy in Australia, 17 Dec 2012 17:46

That Western Train is BEAUTIFUL. Darn it, now I will be broke next year.

Posted by Haltiamieli in Finland, 17 Dec 2012 17:49

Nice designs. A lot of Lone Riders and Tontos, but that was to be expected.

Black and white horses!

79106 is a very nice army builder even with the Lone Rider included. Wish we'll someday see a similar set also in the LotR/Hobbit theme.

Silver Mine looks like a great landscaping parts pack.

Posted by binaryeye in United States, 17 Dec 2012 18:07

I have no real interest in any of the sets, but they do look relatively well-designed. The silver mine, in particular, looks like it has some great play features. I'd be more interested in these as parts packs (silver mine and city duel, specifically) if they get significantly discounted in the future.

It's nice that the cavalry set is cheap and includes a white horse. As a castle fan, I may pick one up just for that. I do find the set name a bit odd, though, since none of the soldiers are mounted.

Posted by joao in Portugal, 17 Dec 2012 18:12

Is that a straight narrow gauge train track in 79110?

Posted by Dragon_Master_48 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 18:15

Looks pretty good. :D Correction: looks great.

Posted by xj550 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 18:17

Color me impressed. My wallet is crying. I will get the stage coach at the least.

Posted by Dragon_Master_48 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 18:19

Is it just me, or does the revolver piece look slightly different?

Posted by rosney in United States, 17 Dec 2012 18:54

Straight narrow gauge track in multiple sets, YES!

I'm sure it's not PF compatible out of the box, but the train looks beautiful.

Posted by rosney in United States, 17 Dec 2012 19:02

Fascinating, all those set numbers are ZIP codes in Amarillo.

...as in Texas

...as in Texas Rangers

...as in what the Lone Ranger is an ex-of

Coincidence?

Posted by Cimi in Austria, 17 Dec 2012 19:07

Luckily I own all Western sets which were released 15 years ago-). The new sets are well designed, however quite expensive. The mine and the train are a must-have. Colby City is a bit disapointing due to the fact that the old Western sets from the late 90s included a bank as well as a sheriff office. I am still waiting for a saloon and a hotel in Western style.

Posted by Legozrool in United States, 17 Dec 2012 19:08

@Dragon_Master_48 I don't know it looks kinda new to me who knows???

Posted by joedapoboy in United States, 17 Dec 2012 19:14

The cow skull is only in a colossal set? That's really really cruel.

Posted by CM4S in United States, 17 Dec 2012 19:16

@Dragon_Master_48

Yes, it is new.

Posted by Odeinoichus in Canada, 17 Dec 2012 19:41

Brilliant, sheer brilliance with these sets. As a fan of LEGO Western I'm so thrilled to see these, even if the movie isn't as impressive as it could be at least it is bound to be leaps above that atrocious Green Hornet remake from a few years back. And these sets, the Mini-Figs, the set pieces, these look even better than some of the stuff we got for PoP that's for sure.

And it's great to see the new Horse in White, hopefully we'll see a Black version before the year ends. I'm actually kind of surprised Disney doesn't allow LEGO to dig a bit into their back catalogue for some interesting set ideas, I'd love to see a Zorro and Davey Crocket set from LEGO before too long. Make it part of an all-encompassing Theme like, Disneyland or Disney World Theme Parks and you'd have the perfect catch-all Theme for some beloved Disney classics.

Anyway, these sets look great and I'm definitely looking forward to that 14.99$ priced one, too bad if you troop build it you'll wind up with multiples of the Lone Ranger.

Posted by HokieJoe99 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 19:59

I don't think that is straight narrow gauge track. It looks like regular sized straight track with 4638990 on the studs just inside the normal sized rails to make the rails narrow. You can see two distinct rails on either side of the mine cart.

Posted by typo in United States, 17 Dec 2012 20:08

I'll take the Train Chase please...

Posted by Paul Boratko in United States, 17 Dec 2012 20:31

From only these 3 pics, I would say that Lego did a fantastic job on these sets...

Posted by The Green Brick Giant in United States, 17 Dec 2012 20:55

The sets look beautiful! Too bad it's a license theme, now they will cost 25% more than they should, but they are amazing. Love the train with the huge gun on it, the town buildings with the different color brick bricks, the mine set. All very nice. The best license theme ever.

Posted by the_real_indy in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:07

Hey HUW,

Did these sets disappear from the database at some point recently?

Can you at least re-add the blank pages with the set numbers, even if you can't attach the pics to them just yet?

I will definitely add the Comanches and the Cavalry to my Wanted List ASAP!

Thanks, Great Work! =D

Posted by tmgm528 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:11

I had a 600 dollar budget. I'm either gonna cut some ninjago or chima or get another 250 dollars? Maybe il do both

Posted by mars4life in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:19

wow, these look great.

Posted by Perijove in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:21

I'm sure the Gatling gun on the train has the awesome feature of rotating when you turn the crank. I was a fan of steam engines long before I was a space guy, so like the Toy Story Train, these models are reaching way back into Nostalgialand to satisfy the types of sets I wish existed when I was a kid. Of course, I'll have to modify the train so it has all the proper mechanical linkages, or maybe I'll just use it to make some kind of cool steampunk MOC.

Posted by tmgm528 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:27

WOW!!!!! :D I didn't even realize !NEW! Pistols *gasp*

Posted by Dodge in Canada, 17 Dec 2012 21:32

WESTERN RETURNS! Those are some great looking sets! There's going to be a lot of penny-saving this year to pick these up!

Posted by crissmonster in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:47

Well done, TLC! These are great!

Posted by onelegomadfamily in New Zealand, 17 Dec 2012 21:57

thanks bro

Posted by MarvelZombie2099 in United States, 17 Dec 2012 21:59

Incredible!! Western comes back with a vengeance (and a license)! These are must haves for me.

Posted by TeufelHund in Australia, 17 Dec 2012 22:16

Sigh...I thought Lego might have learnt from LOTOR that you don't need to include the main character(s) from a Licensed theme in every set in order to sell the sets (although I understand from a kid's perspective they might be disappointed to miss out on the main character if they only get one set).

Saying that, most of these sets look really great and will be essential purchases for all those Western MOCCers out there.

Posted by tamamahm in United States, 17 Dec 2012 22:27

Huh. I am generally not a western fan. I am definitely not a fan of sets with guns.
Having said that, these are very lovely. The mine is the one that I could see several of my kids drooling over, since it looks to have so much play value. These really are well done.

Posted by Clan Stonebraker in United States, 17 Dec 2012 23:02

I wasn't, but now I must...

Posted by The_Creator in United States, 17 Dec 2012 23:03

Whoah! Those sets, frankly, are epic. This better turn out like PoP so I can buy all the sets and maby doubles.
And it looks like alot of good torsos, hopefully there'll be an absence of flesh on the torsos.

Posted by Yooha in Europe, 18 Dec 2012 00:52

Regarding minifigure distribution this line looks like PoTC: If you buy all sets you will have a bunch of lone rangers. But I guess it comes from the storyline; in contract to for example LOTR, where there are many main characters, and you can play with a set even if it lacks some characters from that particular scene, here the lone ranger is present "everywhere" so you cannot skip him out. Make it even "worse" it looks like he wears the same costume all the time. At least jack Sparrow had several outfit with/without jacket/hat.

Posted by perfectlydark in Australia, 18 Dec 2012 00:58

I can genuinly say this is possibly one of the best looking licenced sets Ive ever seen. Ever. Farout Im so there

Posted by meyerc13 in United States, 18 Dec 2012 02:34

I had absolutely no interest in this line... until I saw these pictures. I hate how LEGO can do that. I don't know what it is, but those cavalry sets are bringing back some lost childhood memory, I think I must have had Playmobil Cavalry sets back in the 80's... now I want to build a Cavalry troop. Next year is going to be rough with some great City, Hobbit, and now Lone Ranger sets... This is going to add up all too quickly.

Posted by Howeesp in United States, 18 Dec 2012 02:55

Wow! I also had no interest and was just hoping for a steam train. The train looks like it might be power functioned too. Everything looks amazing.

Posted by Demarco Murray in United Kingdom, 18 Dec 2012 03:40

Well, there goes the Western Modular Cuusoo idea....

Posted by supersympa in Sweden, 18 Dec 2012 05:40

I was trying to focus for next year on a few sets only...and now, I fell in love with those sets...must have! .....

Posted by the_real_indy in United States, 18 Dec 2012 07:24

Superb historical sets! Bravo! =D

The new Union soldiers look great... And you can also create great looking Confederate soldiers by combining Irina Spalko's torso from the Indiana Jones sets, with the dark grey kepi hats from the Star Wars sets. TLG would certainly never do Civil War sets for political and cultural reasons, but it would be cool to see some nice accurate historical MOCs.

As for me, I will have the Comanches and Americans trading peacefully... This is LegoLand after all, (not Sparta)! =)

Posted by Peter1975 in Netherlands, 18 Dec 2012 08:39

This makes me so happy. My birthday is on the 30th of April. I think I know what I will get....Jahoo. Live is great, loving Lego.

Posted by Peter1975 in Netherlands, 18 Dec 2012 08:43

@Demarco Murray:Why you're so sure? Maybe we'll get an Modulair Western Set at the end of 2013, as the did with the Harry Potter set "Diagon Alley. I'm sure it would make a great addition to the Lone Ranger theme. Let's wait...

Posted by Haltiamieli in Finland, 18 Dec 2012 09:42

When it comes to Cuusoo, Lego indeed seems to be a step or two ahead of us AFOLs. Space Marines vs. Galaxy Squad, Modular Western Town vs. Lone Ranger... But it remains to be seen how they approach these. I don't think disapproval of Cuusoo projects is the only possible outcome. Who knows, they might even rebrand Modular Western Town as a D2C Lone Ranger set. That, of course, would need consent from both the project owner and Disney licencing etc., and as such it is _far_ from probable.

Posted by Goldmatt in United States, 18 Dec 2012 10:17

I broke down and cried tears of joy on seeing that train.

Posted by eastlands01 in United Kingdom, 18 Dec 2012 10:24

I wonder why America and Canada release the new sets before every other country? I think they should be released at the same time, 1st Dec - that way people can buy them for Xmas presents.

Posted by ChicoCheco in Norway, 18 Dec 2012 10:26

I like the design of these sets. I will definitely give it a shot. Are these rangers and cavalry hats also a new moulds? And what is this strange luggage in the hands of the bank robber?

Posted by Legozrool in United States, 18 Dec 2012 11:15

At first I thought that I would just skip this theme, But... Those sets look great they are beautifully designed and I will find myself cutting out of my SW and Galaxy squad budget to get a couple

Posted by Legozrool in United States, 18 Dec 2012 11:28

Ok I just can't describe how awesome the sets are.Also the new pistol is very popular like the sets average about 2.83 pistols per set

Posted by piratemania7 in United States, 18 Dec 2012 11:43

I am so incredibly torn. I like the new theme, dont get me wrong. But A. it is licensed and I am always weary of such lines ( except for Hobbit :) ) and B. I think it is a newer and updated version of a dear old original, classic and always great LEGO theme from the mid 90's Western. It makes me quite nostalgic and want to get back into building the Western sets I have and setting up a whole scene like I did as a kid. Saddly, with the mixture of flesh colored minifigures and some really updated parts I do not know what to do? Maybe I need to see these sets in person, IE a lego store to really see what they are about. As of now I am on the fence with this one, maybe I'll get a set or two to peruse the market.

Posted by Antiproton in United States, 18 Dec 2012 14:11

Is that a new mold for a steer skull in the silver mine set? I also like the shiny silver bars that I'll be able to add to my treasure hoard.

Posted by Konstantin in United States, 18 Dec 2012 15:40

Wonderful! It's just like the old Indians sets!

Posted by wunztwice in United States, 18 Dec 2012 15:46

Much better than I previously envisioned. Quite excited by many of these sets, including the train!

Posted by DarthLuke824 in United Kingdom, 18 Dec 2012 16:41

I'm not really a fan of Western themed sets but I have to say there are some excellent sets here! I'll like to see higher res pictures soon, but I think I have got to get that train, The Mine and the £10 set.

Posted by yamaki in Germany, 18 Dec 2012 18:41

Gosh, the cavalry set is gonna sell like hell to Afols! Stage coach is a little too big for my taste and the other sets a little simple. But not bad.

Posted by MoonKnight in United States, 19 Dec 2012 00:03

I'm getting all of these. They look great!

Posted by fuelbreak in Canada, 19 Dec 2012 00:09

love the sets.

Posted by CamberbrickGreen in United Kingdom, 19 Dec 2012 08:32

Completely surprised, I was expecting another lame licensed range but these designs look really impressive, TLG could have really upped their game here.

Posted by D-Dennis in Germany, 19 Dec 2012 09:46
