Series 9 Sneak Peek

LEGO has released a sneak peek of the Collectible Minifigures Series 9 on their Facebook page. Apparently they'll be releasing more images early next week. Let's hope for some front shots.

Autumn in the Park by Nannan Z.

Nannan Zang has built a MOC making great use of the Star Wars planets. What they're supposed to be, I'll never know. But Nannan's MOCs are always so good, and they are rarely easy to understand.
I think my favorite part about this one is the leaves scattered under the trees.

Don't forget, Creations for Charity is in its final days. You can purchase this, and many other great MOCs for reasonable prices to make a child somewhere in the world happy this year.

See it on Mocpages.

Collectible Minifigures Series 10 & 11 Lineup

The Collectible Minifigures Series 10 and 11 lineups have been revealed over on The Daily Brick. So much for my theory of LEGO stopping at series 10.
In addition, Eurobricks members have complied some 3D images of what we could possibly get in these next waves.

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

Series 11: 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

As you can read, there are plenty of excellent possibilities here. The Tomahawk Warrior, Revolution Soldier, Bavarian Lady, and Tiki Warrior will most likely be amazing figures.

What do you think about the Series 10 and 11 lineups?

The Hobbit Gandalf Ploybag

Another The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey polybag has been sighted on Ebay. No word on when it'll be available. We'll most likely see it at TRU in the next couple of weeks.

EDIT: This polybag is now available at ToysRUs.

Happy Thanksgiving/Tommy Turkey by Detomaso Pantera

Happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone! After we all happily stuffed ourselves with many different kinds of foods, we then set out for our Black Friday line parties and picked up some very neat stuff.
I personally did not wait out in the cold for any deals. There are plenty to be had online.

On that note, LEGO Shop@Home has some great deals. Including 50% off Series 7 and 8 of the Collectible Minifigures. Unfortunately, these are all sold out.
They also offer free shipping on order over $49. So if you don't want to spend too much, just buy $50 worth.

As you can see in the picture above, Detomaso has built a very realistic turkey. The fan shape must have taken quite a while to figure out. The back view really shows the complexity of the model.

See it on Mocpages.

Astronaut Footprint by Custom Bricks

"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Those famous words spoken so long ago still have a big impact on the world. Custom Bricks has built an amazingly simple, yet not so simple MOC based off of those words.

See it on Mocpages.

2013 Galaxy Squad Sets

The full Galaxy Squad line has been revealed over on Brickset. We get 6 sets: 4 "good guy" sets, and 2 "bad guy" sets.

There are tons of new pieces in these sets. Not only new minifigure gear, but also plenty of new pieces that will make for some great MOCs.

70700 Space Swarmer. 86 pieces. Ages 7-14.

Check out the rest of the line below.

CCCX Onward by Mark Erickson

Mark has built a great winter scene for the CCCX. The forced perspective in this one is awesome. The snow-covered trees and distant peaks add to the chilly atmosphere of the MOC.

See it on Mocpages.

30212 Mirkwood Elf Polybag at TRU

The first of hopefully many Hobbit polybags has appeared over at Toysrus. The set contains a brand new Mirkwood Elf minifig. And I think the first ever dark green hood.
For a probable $3.99 price point, it's not bad. Definitely gonna want a couple of these for your elf army.

Calvin and Hobbes by Lego Builders

The great comic book duo of Calvin and Hobbes are rolling around in their wagon. Lego Builders has built plenty more small scenes which are just as good, some even better, than the one above. Check them out!

See more on Mocpages.

2013 Galaxy Squad Minifigure

Images have been leaked of the Galaxy Squad minifigures on Hoth Bricks. Apparently some of the figures are available on Ebay. I don't know how the seller got them since the theme won't be available until January.
I love the look of this figure. LEGO is beginning to make tons of new headpieces for new themes. They are definitely paying plenty of attention to the minifigures. Now if only they'd fix the prices.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Sets at Kmart

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey sets are now available at Kmart. All of them. And you can use coupon code KMART10PSAVINGS for an additional 10%.
Get over to a Kmart to pick up the first ever LEGO Bilbo Baggins. Not to mention the thirteen dwarves. Which I love!
