That big Hogwarts set might cost a pretty penny! :p

I like that they have gone down a different route with the DC figures, making them more bionicle like, as well as having the smaller minifigs.

I wonder how long they will continue to milk the cars 2 brand? Some of the sets look good, but they are so exensive for such small and simple builds.

Wonder if Lego will acquire more licenses where they can pump out a model or two every year like Spongebob, rather than the movie based licenses where they have to rush out half a dozen or oe sets at once?

Can someone post images on the dino sets?:D

Series 7 of the minifigures look awesome. Looks like another must have series. I love the armored space marine. And even though there are a few re-makes of previous series (like the tennis or guitar player) they are different enough to make it sort of worth it. Like the tennis player from series 3 now has an opponent.

It'll be interesting to see how they tackle the Hobbit,Dwarf/Man, Elf height difference with the minifigs.

I once wrote to LEGO stating that I think it'd be good if they could make the kid minifig legs bendable at the hips, like the way the "adult" minifig legs could bend. The reply I got was that they will be looking at this, so hopefully this issue will be fixed.

LEGO LOTR - YEAH!

That's very interesting. All I could come up with was using the old school technic figures. They're about double the height of a normal minifig :p

The only problem with the LOTR sets will be, of course, the price. :(

Yup - more info about the LOTR sets here:

You Lie!

Pics of the new Modular building are up.

Check out the size of this thing!

I think I need to start saving up for it. This on will be expensive.

This one's a must have for me. It doesn't look it but considering its at least a full half level higher than every other modular building its gonna be massive :D
