What do you think of the upcoming 2011 LEGO Harbour sets?

A big thanks to Eurobricks Town fan, kris kelvin for sharing new images on the upcoming 2011 LEGO Harbour sets. Even though, we can only view these official set images of the new 4643 Power Boat Transporter and 4644 Marina in this incredible sub theme, I am really very pleased to see the new marina activities to be introduced for our LEGO City minifigures since 1994.
