As John mentioned earlier, I've been engaging in some heavy duty LEGO buying and I snapped up another four City sets from a Toys R Us not too far from me.
As tempted as I was to get a fifth, I do have to be wary that Mrs S doesn't divorce me, so I refrained from going that far and set 7642 - Garage - was left on the shelf. Nevertheless, here are some sample images and links to the full set of pictures and reviews of the sets I did buy.
To start with, we have set 8402, the Sports Car.
Full set of images in my Flickrstream or review over at my Tabletown Forums.
Next up, set 7638 - Tow Truck.

Time for set 7686 - Helicopter Transporter.

And last, but definitely not least, set 7639 - Camper.

The highlights for me have to be the Minifig in the camper set - complete with front and rear torso printing and lovely new hair. The camper van itself is lovely of course, as is the helicopter from the transport set. There is however one small negative issue - in the two sets containing lots of orange, it seems that LEGO continue to suffer quality control issues in keeping the colours the same, and the following image neatly summarises the problem.
Nonetheless, this is a fantastic release of sets and I recommend each and every one of them!
Thanks for indulging me in this longer than usual Brickspace entry - hope I'm not in trouble for taking up so much space!
