New York Toy Fair Pictures (Star Wars, LOTR, Castle, More)

Hundreds of pictures from the New York Toy Fair have been released. Not to mention numerous videos from The BrickShow. Most of the sets have excellent prices. And the minifigs just keep improving.

Check out all the new sets for 2013 by clicking the links below!
Castle
City
Creator
Friends
LEGO Games
Galaxy Squad
Lord of the Rings
Mindstorms and Technic
Legends of Chima
Hero Factory
Star Wars
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I'm very excited for Star Wars and LOTR. Lord of the Rings has some beautiful sets with very cheap prices, and while this Star Wars wave is mostly a remake of older sets, the prices have improved, as well as the minifigs.
Jango Fett, Christmas Jango Fett. Yes!

More Lone Ranger Set Pictures

 More images from the highly anticipated LEGO theme have been unearthed. Some nice, detailed pictures of the sets 79108 Stagecoach Escape and 79111 Constitution Train Chase, and a full gallery from the New York Toy Fair with plenty of pictures of all the sets. Price points and piece counts are also available thanks to ToyArk. See more pictures here: The Lone Ranger sets from Toy Fair.

I'll be updating with pictures from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Galaxy Squad, Castle, and more, later!

CMF Series 10 Picture and News

A picture has come up from I don't know where of the Collectible Minifigures Series 10. My guess is the picture was taken at the London Toy Fair from above the LEGO booth.
Series 10 will be available in May in gold bags. For this series, LEGO will be sorting 4,000 gold minifigures into random boxes. That is what I believe I read. Though I can't remember where. No word on wether the gold minifigures will be gold versions of one of the figures, or a plain gold figure.

Series 10:
Sea Captain
Sad Clown
Librarian
Grandpa
Bumblebee Girl
Roman Commander
Warrior Woman
Decorator
Tomahawk Warrior
Trendsetter
Baseball Fielder
Revolution Soldier
Motorcycle Mechanic
Medusa
Skydiver
Paintball Player


An updated version of the Series 11 lineup has also been released.
Yeti
Evil Mech
Welder
Lady Robot
Jazz Musician
Constable
Holiday Elf
Bavarian Lady
Scarecrow
Mountain Climber
Grandma
Tiki Warrior
Gingerbread Man
Barbarian
Dinner Waitress
Scientist


I'm very excited for the rest of 2013! What do you think about Series 10 and 11 of the Collectible Minifigures?

LOTR 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush

With the London Toy Fair nearly over, I'm surprised that we haven't seen more images from upcoming sets. But thanks to Flickr user Motayan we have two that have just made my day. The images may be small, and they're definitely blurry, but who cares? Anything is better than nothing.

79008 Pirate Ship Ambush.
Minifigures: Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, King of the Dead, Soldier of the Dead x2, Corsair of Umber (Peter Jackson), Mordor Orc x2.
Coming Summer 2013.

A very good selection of minifigures. Hopefully this set'll cost no more than $80. I take it back. Whenever I guess the price of a set I'm always way off. 
I'm very glad they're including the Peter Jackson Corsair character over just any random corsair. And of course, The fact that there are three dead people makes this set even more awesome! Though I wonder about the Mordor Orcs.
A very good size ship, with the spike off of the bottom of the hull. Yes! I'm very glad they left that part in, even though it was never seen in the movies. That's just the nerd in me coming out. :)

Let's hope we'll see many more LEGO goodies before Toy Fair is over. But then, the New York Toy Fair is the real cheese. That's when everything is out in the open.

NY ToyFair Coverage by FBTB


The New York Toy Fair was last weekend. If you were unable to make it (Like me), you can view coverage of the LEGO section of the event on the FBTB Flickr page Here.

The coverage includes photos of Monster Fighter, Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Marvel Super Heroes, and many more.
Keep in mind that most of the Avengers Mini-figs and box art is not official.


Also worth noting, the LEGO Group resigned a ten year contract with Star Wars. So you can expect at least ten more years of this great theme.

LEGO LOTR Set Pic From London Toy Fair

London Toy Fair was a just a little while ago. If you don't know what Toy Fair is, it is a massive convention where all the "big brand' toy companies go and show off their upcoming wares. And LEGO is a huge contributor. They usually show all their upcoming LEGO sets, including The Lord Of The Rings.

This picture was taken at Toy Fair by Flickr member Hmillington.

As you can see very nicely there are all of the first wave sets displayed. 
From left to right: The Orc Forge, Uruk-hai Battle Pack, The Battle For Helm's Deep, Attack On Weathertop, The Mines Of Moria, Shelob's Lair, and Gandalf Arrives.

All these sets feature great new pieces and minifigs. They all look like LEGO took a good, long time on them, and it is noted that you must buy every set to get the entire Fellowship. But that's why they invented Ebay.
