This just makes me miss the alternate builds on the back of boxes. Maybe they'll have a special through Lego.com or something for alternate 80's versions of minfigs or something.

Well there goes a sizable chunk of my Lego budget for the TMNT sets when they come out, I have to have all those minifigures. I love me some turtles, this stuff is going to be irresistible unless the prices are insane.

Anyone willing to get two for me and ship to USA? I'll take three if you can manage it (since limit 5 per UK household), but I would really like two (me + gift).

This guy's flickr account has a bunch of photos of the 2013 Ninjago and City sets. He also has photos of something called the "Fabuland builder's guild", which terrified me for a bit until I realised they weren't official sets. Please notice that the Crabtank has what appears to be a second tank underneath it.

Thanks for sharing!

I like the new ladder-piece. When I heard there was going to be new fire helicopter I thought to myself "another one? Really?" But now that I see it I think it's an interesting design.

Also, I don't know what that first Ninjago set, the one with double tracks, is supposed to be but I love it.

This one?


I noticed it has a powered winch. Is that brand new?

It's been in one of the Creator sets and probably others as well, so not brand new. Brand new for City, though, AFAIK.

Edit: Yeah, that one.

Who doesn't?! They'll probably never make Das Hindenburg (ok, make that "definitely") but surely there's some other famous blimp they could do.

I only have the camper but I'll weigh in. It's a good scale but doesn't take up that much space when built. It's a little fragile... the bumpers keep falling off when it bumps something but they look accurate. Nice details and not much repetition. The cloth bits feel a bit non Lego.

The Sopwith Camel is probably my next but it seems like it will take up a lot of space.

The Sopwith Camel is excellent, but the VW Camper is probably my favorite Lego build of all time. Lots of really great details and I enjoyed building it the whole way through.

It would have to be a white F1 drivers head if you made a stig with your own Lego. Know top gear, it would be a blank black head!

Target is having an instore and probably online %20 off sale on star wars, city, and i think Duplo.

Picked up the imperial v wing, some of the planets, garbage truck, and a creator set I hadn't seen (the one which makes a small yellow jet).

There's also a couple LOTR sets I saw locally. I think it may depend on the store, but you can count on Star Wars and City sales.

I was so close to pulling the trigger on The Malevolence (something like $30 off), but we're driving to Chicago this weekend and I want some spending cash. I'm hoping I can catch a post-holidays clearance.

I saw a great one a few years ago. He had an absolutely massive Lego guy head and the best part were the clamp hands that looked like they were made out of cups or something. The body was even a full-on Lego body made out of cardboard, complete with the holes on the back of the legs. Easily one of the most popular costumes in the bar.
