<div>
Seemingly out of nowhere, a LEGO The Hobbit video game trailer has been released. This should not only be a fun game, but a great addition to the LEGO LOTR video game.</div>
<div>
Am I the only one that didn't see this coming? Was there a memo that I missed? Or is everyone as surprised as me?</div>
<div>
When will the game be available, and will it include scenes from There And Back Again in the final game? Only time will tell. For now, just enjoy this little trailer.</div>

Yes, officially Christmas is over. Yes, here I am a day late wishing you all a merry Christmas. During all of the festivities of yesterday I failed to post and give my seasonal greetings. But here I am today trying to make it up to you.<br />
I hope all of you had a very great Christmas. Not only for presents, but also for spending time with family and friends. Cause when it really boils down to it, it's being together what really counts on days like yesterday. I know some of you younger kids are probably like "what?" But don't worry. You'll understand when you're older. For now, I'm glad you got your Chima Lion Temple or Ewok Village.<br />
<br />
Merry belated Christmas everyone!Aidanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06317463778162731892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6931046821118913175.post-83312609303821754042013-12-19T09:29:00.002-08:002013-12-19T09:29:37.647-08:00NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover Revealed<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Remember the CUUSOO Mars Curiosity Rover set that passed 10,000 supporters awhile ago? Well the finished model has been revealed. The set is pretty similar to the original design, so I'm sure that makes Stephen Pakbaz (the original creator) happy.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
We're looking at a January release date. So just hold on for another couple weeks. The set contains 295 pieces and will retail for $30.</div>

This isn't exactly the freshest news on earth, but the 2014 Marvel Super Heroes box art has been revealed. The only major difference from the sneak peek we saw earlier this month is the better images. But we also know that the Spiderman sets are from the Ultimate Spiderman TV show and not The Amazing Spiderman 2, and the other two sets are from the Avengers Assemble show.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Note</b>: The prices projected for these sets are merely guesses. So far no information has been revealed concerning price points.</div>

Though I never was into Pokémon, and probably never will be, I know a good MOC when I see one. And that's exactly what Mike Nieves Rapidash is. Not only are some of the parts used incredibly difficult to work with, the model is very realistic looking.<br />
I really can't decide what I like better, the flaming mane and tail, or the intricately designed neck. Oh well, I like them both.<br />
<br />

This Rivendell created by Alice Finch on Flickr is the perfect MOC to look at this morning. Obviously because The Hobbit: DoS was released last night. For those of you that haven't seen the film yet, I recommend you do. Visually stunning. Plot... let's just say it's not quite as stunning. But enough with the movie, let's talk about the MOC.<br />
While it may not look too much like other Rivendell MOCs, or the Rivendell from the film for that matter, it's no less impressive. There is a fantastic attention to detail. From the roof designs to the water-horses. Check out a larger image and more by clicking the link below.<br />

The newest LEGO Architecture set comes completely out of nowhere. At least for me anyways. I guess there was a little image leaked of this set in October, but I never saw it. That's what I get for not having any interest in this theme.<br />
The Marine Bay Sands is an Integrated Resort on Marine Bay in Singapore (thank you, Wikipedia). Basically it's a really expensive building that looks really cool. And LEGO decided to make a set out of it. This should be good for those of you that like the trans-blue tiles.<br />
<br />

As far as I know, this set isn't available in the US. But it is available in Korea. So if you live in Korea, you can buy it <a href="http://shop.lego.com/ko-KR/%EB%A7%88%EB%A6%AC%EB%82%98-%EB%B2%A0%EC%9D%B4-%EC%83%8C%EC%A6%88-21021">here</a>.<br />

Thanks to an Australian consumer magazine, we have some new images of the 2014 Marvel Super Heroes sets. Three Spiderman sets, a Captain America set, and a Thor/Hulk set make up the wave. Not sure if the Spiderman sets are from The Amazing Spiderman 2 or not. The Captain America one appears to be a more cartoon version of The First Avenger, and I have no idea where the Thor one comes from.<br />
<br />

Looks like a pretty solid wave. With some fantastic minifigures (Electro, anyone?).

This is one of those mechs that you would not want to meet in an alley. Or anywhere else for that matter. Things might not go too well.<br />
I really like the leg design on this thing. It's a little square, but still good. And the missile launchers more than make up for it.<br />
Am I the only one that thinks of Pacific Rim when looking at this MOC?<br />

December is here, and so are the new Hobbit sets! There are tons of great new minifigs, including Azog the white orc. Unfortunately, the sets come with some hefty price points. But if you want them bad enough, you can either pay the sum or wait for a sale.<br />
Not only are they available at Shop@Home, but they are also at Amazon, Walmart, ToysRus, and other retailers.<br />
<br />

It's amazing how something so small and simple can be so perfect. Yet that's exactly what Riccardo Zangelmi's MOC is. Really quite simple, but nevertheless good.<br />

More and more sets are appearing on tons of different websites. Including several previously unseen Star Wars sets. Also, what I thought would be another wave of Planet sets, has actually turned out to be Microfighters. Basically a tiny fighter with a minifig crammed on top. In my opinion, better than the Planet sets.</div>

Dorling Kindersley has a whole new wave of LEGO books headed our way next year. While most are nothing more than story books, sticker books, and the odd Brickmaster, there are a few that stand out from the crowd. These being a new <b>Star Wars Visual Dictionary</b>, <b>Friends Character Encyclopedia</b>, and <b>Legends of Chima: The Secret History</b>.<br />
The first Star Wars dictionary came out in 2009, so this should be a great collectors book. What with nearly 5 years of sets added.<br />
The Friends Character Encyclopedia on the other hand, sounds like a flop. A) I don't think there are enough characters to make the theme worthy of an encyclopedia. And B) I don't really think that many people would be interested in owning one. Except for the exclusive figure. I have nothing against Friends, it just seems a little early for a character encyclopedia. Then again, there are at least 4 different versions of each girl.<br />
As for the LoC book, I can only guess as to what it might be. Could be a dictionary of some sort.<br />
<br />

It's been well over a year since I've last blogged Schfio Factory. He makes his return with an artfully built horse. The MOC looks good in this picture, but when seen at different angles, it looks brilliant! I especially love the design of the tail and legs.<br />

There are several projects on CUUSOO that are mere days from 10,000 supporters. Probably the most popular of these is The Adventure Time Project. This project is under 200 supporters from 10,000, and it needs your help to get those last few. So if you haven't supported yet, go over there and do so. You can be one of 10,000 to get this project rolling. Just a little incentive for you.<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> It has reached 10,000 supporters. Now, we wait.<br />

Gabe Moore loves to make LDD models of super heroes. This time, he's built the Amazing Spiderman. And it is amazing! Lots of the parts used are very hard to find a good use for, yet Gabe was able to use several awkward pieces. And Spidey looks all all the better for it.<br />

With November flying by, more and more 2014 sets are popping up. This time, it's Star Wars that makes a showing. A whopping 19 sets have been announced, though we only have pictures of 11 of them.<br />
Unfortunately, the quality of the sets seems to be going down. The minifigures only get better, but the sets definitely aren't worth the price asked for them.<br />
Grab a bag of chips, and have fun skimming through these.<br />
<br />
The first set, seen above, is <b>75034 Death Star Troopers.</b> Probable price point: $12.99. My question is, why is LEGO lowering the value of the Imperial Guards? Who needs an army of them anyway?<br />
<br />
Check out the rest below!<br />
<br />

<b>750345 Kashyyyk Troopers.</b> Probable price point: $12.99. Looks like LEGO is revisiting the Kashyyyk sets. Something they haven't done thoroughly since 2006. You gotta love those camo scout troopers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzebdMn4IUTi99l-Nnwv71om-NY_VQX_-8PmS5os_ragOfdMxcPbGi4Tn2gPxfJd9_-uEtSXqMH6UtLZ7n5vPQ3JaxDpOF8pI-PA8ZIqSPBx_Lshd5oCWv_PtYShxP-f8ABDZCP0Llvo/s1600/75036_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFzebdMn4IUTi99l-Nnwv71om-NY_VQX_-8PmS5os_ragOfdMxcPbGi4Tn2gPxfJd9_-uEtSXqMH6UtLZ7n5vPQ3JaxDpOF8pI-PA8ZIqSPBx_Lshd5oCWv_PtYShxP-f8ABDZCP0Llvo/s400/75036_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<b>75036 Utapau Troopers. </b> Probable price point: $12.99. Really not sure about the price on this one. could be $15.<br />
This is where the <b><u>horrible</u> </b>build of the sets comes in. In the first two it's not as apparent, but it really shows here. If it weren't for the Airborn troopers, this set would be a fantastic flop!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>75037 Battle on Saleucami.</b> Probable price point: $19.99. Despite the cool new plant pieces, the plants/rocks are terribly pathetic. But the addition of a BARC Trooper and some droids should make this one popular.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>75038 Jedi Interceptor.</b> Probable price point: $24.99. In case you haven't noticed, this wave is almost entirely composed of Episode III sets. It's about time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu43dVnaz1IFFOJA7Z3cT2zEMYhzz1-F0zxOJ9OY5ztu7nmxvoWdCtnWrHa9TiIXha83mTibVvIllCvVGhi8I_iFNvX7i-_DTIV7XKYIhz7lgguWQvgt0nD4P4Qgopw_Tbdvt5ez65Ws4/s1600/75039_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu43dVnaz1IFFOJA7Z3cT2zEMYhzz1-F0zxOJ9OY5ztu7nmxvoWdCtnWrHa9TiIXha83mTibVvIllCvVGhi8I_iFNvX7i-_DTIV7XKYIhz7lgguWQvgt0nD4P4Qgopw_Tbdvt5ez65Ws4/s400/75039_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<b>75039 V-Wing Starfighter.</b> Probable price point: $24.99. Every so often LEGO releases a V-Wing. The most recent one I believe, was 7915 Imperial V-Wing Starfighter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4w1RxF1sSsY9-2MBVHfBK7gc7fJCHnIDscVkFPeSvia5mzC80J5ZsebtrX9X16EfSzkS7GiHF89frFYvevkNaZn5wVFwL5W_0sXObhsYt8B5kbzVF8xNfSPcyMrIHYDWIxvhA-bBrp4/s1600/75040_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC4w1RxF1sSsY9-2MBVHfBK7gc7fJCHnIDscVkFPeSvia5mzC80J5ZsebtrX9X16EfSzkS7GiHF89frFYvevkNaZn5wVFwL5W_0sXObhsYt8B5kbzVF8xNfSPcyMrIHYDWIxvhA-bBrp4/s400/75040_1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<b>75040</b> <b>General Grievous Wheel Bike.</b> Probable price point: $24.99. I still own the first version of this set. It came with Grievous on the Wheel Bike and Obi-wan Kenobi on Boga. The price of that one was $20. So for the price of this one to be equal or more, would be rather depressing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>75041 Vulture Droid. </b>Probable price point: $29.99. Now it's time to talk about the new missiles. I don't know about you, but I'm really not digging them. They add a Play-Mobil look to the set, and I don't like it. At least LEGO hasn't really changed their Buzz Droid in 7 years.<br />

For round 5 of the MOCOlympics, Nick Barrett was given the category of forced perspective. Forced Perspective is, as some of you know, using bricks and an odd camera angle to force the audience to believe the MOC is really much deeper than it is. Though in fact the MOC could only be a few inches deep or so, the audience can think it goes on for several feet, or even miles.<br />
Given a task this difficult, I'd say Nick really did an excellent job. Not only is the road decieving in it's length, but the car he built to drive on it is a work of art in itself.<br />

At long last, the Japanese Old Style Architecture CUUSOO project by Taxon55 has reached 10,000 supporters. Here's a fun fact for you, this is the longest it has ever taken for a CUUSOO project to hit 10k. So it took a while, but it made it. And during the long journey to 10,000, it has always been one of the top projects.<br />
It'll be interesting to see how CUUSOO handles this. I don't see why it couldn't pass the review. But LEGO just might not want it.<br />

This owl by Mihai Marius Mihu is, dare I say it, downright cute. While that's a word I usually try not to use when it comes to MOCs, I really can't honestly use any other word. Or I could use the word the MOCer uses to describe it: He merely says "Owl."<br />
I love the use of the spikes for ear-feather-things, nice NPU!<br />

At long last, the entire line of The LEGO Movie sets have been revealed. The wave is massive, containing 12 sets, not counting Series 12 of CMF.<br />
These sets aren't necessarily supposed to be seen at the moment, so grab these while you can. There's no telling if LEGO will make me pull them.<br />
The set above is supposedly called <b>Pursuit</b>. Whether that name sticks, remains to be seen.<br />

Of course, these set names might not be final. But there's a good chance they are.<br />

Check out this cool Arkham Asylum by Kyle Ransom. It's definitely a different take on the building. Most Arkham Asylum builds don't include the surrounding grounds. Something I like about this MOC. Interestingly enough, Mr. Xenomurphy released an Arkham MOC just a week ago. You can check that out <a href="http://mocpages.com/moc.php/373439">here</a>.<br />

The LEGO Minecraft Facebook page has been extremely active today. Around lunchtime, they officially announced that they will be producing Minifig scale Minecraft sets. A little later, they posted multiple Creeper photos, and asked the public which one they liked best. Obviously, LEGO is realizing the potential in building blocks out of blocks.<br />
Check out the video below for some possible sneak peeks:<br />
