Series 11 Minifigures Full List

Recently, Series 11 Minifigs were released in Poland, and are scheduled to release worldwide in September. There’s definitely some interesting new pieces!

Series 10!

 

What are your favs? I’m a new parts hunter as opposed to an army builder or set completest. I’d rather get a half dozen of my fav then a whole set. Bee girl and Medusa are freaking me out, plus the new animals are great to see. The gold figure is going to be a ridiculous chase, with only 5000 total spread around the world. How much do you think *that* will fetch on BrickLink?

2013 Lego pt. 5 Chima

Chima roundup time!

Images open in new window all biggified like.

Gorillas!

Squirrels!

Hero Factory scale parts look neat, here’s 70201 Chi Eris

You can get a zoo of those new crystals in this Chima boardgame:

Have you seen the new Chima tv shows? Here’s one site that has them: http://thebrickblogger.com/2013/01/watch-lego-legends-of-chima-tv-show/

I found it fairly watchable! This whole new venture is looking nicer every day.

This is happening at our local Toys’R’Us on Feb. 23rd, probably something similar happening in your area too.

Chima Speedor Boulder Bowling Tournament

2013 Lego pt. 4 Various

There’s a bunch of Technic freaks in my lug who are losing it over all the new sets. They really do look amazing, the sets the past couple of years have looked like they are right out of a fan convention.

42008 Service Truck

The Lego Architecture line is coming out with the Leaning Tower of Pisa

I wonder if they will give any kickback to this Cuusoo idea?

I’m curiously not going out of my gourd about Galaxy Squad, I really should be. This set looks good, it has some bizarre looking eggs

70709 Galactic Titan

I am however fascinated with this Lone Ranger set, 79109 Stagecoach Escape. Most of the Lone Ranger sets look wonderful but this one is now in the budget

2013 Lego pt. 3 LOTR & Castle

We’ve been catching glimpses of this set as it gets pulled on and off the net. It looks great and a smart buy all around.

79005 Battle at the Black Gate

The eagle’s wings are articulated.

Looks like they are using the same hair/beard piece for Saruman and Gandalf the White, smart recycling there.

Wizard Battle 79005, this looks like an inexpensive and classy little set.

79006 The Council of Elrond, there’s lots to like in this set, primarily the wonderful elf hair pieces!

Here’s a massive piece of set I won’t be picking up: 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush

There’s a whole bunch of nice new Castle sets coming out. Nothing mind blowing but great sets if you are building up a Castle collection. This new dragon is fun, 70403 Dragon Mountain:

2013 Lego pt. 2 Friends

There’s a big swack of new Friends sets coming out and can see myself picking up many of them, I’m pretty interested in this new yacht, it looks to be an interesting build, lots of great parts and figs with the super Friends palette.

41015 Dolphin Cruiser

Here’s a look at the series 3 polybag pets:

Also found another Friends site that looks pretty good:

2013 Lego pt. 1: StarWars

Between the Nuremberg and NY Toy Fairs there has been a lot of new sets unveiled.  Here’s some of what caught my eye and wanted to share. I’m going to break up the flood coming at you into several posts, I’m playing catchup for the past couple of weeks!

If you are into UCS then this is pretty necessary. If there wasn’t so much else coming down the pipe this would be on my list.

Figures from 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge look incredible. I already have a Jabba so will probably be bricklinking these guys.

Pretty sure that the Rancor Pit 75005 has been on this blog before, but this is the one StarWars set that I’ll be definitely picking up this year, ideally at some kind of discount somewhere of course.

I don’t follow expanded universe stuff but this looks Darth Maul after he was cut in half with some delicious looking new robo legs. Are they the same as the new General Grievous?

New Lego Lines

Some pretty neat stuff is coming down the pipe, most exciting argueably is TMNT! Turtles have been in modular block form for some time courtesy of Megablows and now we get to see it realized right. Makes you wonder if a Turtles TT Lego game might be in the works too?

 

Hobbit sets have been revealed and the Dwarf beards look just boss. I’ll need a 6pack of each.

 

Here’s a set I won’t be picking up but definitely try and get the figs on bricklink or a toy show somewhere, the Daily Bugle:

Also I just heard on the weekend that there will be Lone Ranger sets in 2013. I wonder how much new elements this line will generate, probably a lot of great new hair pieces at the very least and some new colours, or parts in other colours.
