New version of the AT-TE: Also, a preliminary image of the second wave of Lotr sets at this site. You have to click on Erebor. For some reason I can't just link to the image directly.

Depending on the number of white hull pieces this may end up being a Friends set I'd consider buying.

After Alien Conquest and Space Police III, Galaxy Squad seems a little lame. I'm glad they're trying at least. From like 2001-2007 there were no space sets thanks to Star Wars.

Galaxy Squad feels like Mars Mission in a lot of ways, but crossed with some Alien Conquest so I can dig it. And the next wave is looking pretty promising: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92090133@N04/8431306375/in/photostream/

They have sort of the same problem Alien Conquest had with the ADF ships-- the alien ones are way cooler. Then again, I am not a 10 year old boy so maybe the space marine stuff is way more rad to them.

New Castle sets: http://www.flickr.com/photos/61839591@N08/8431768247/sizes/h/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/61839591@N08/8431768421/in/photostream I was really hoping for a modular Castle like Helmsdeep or Battle of Alamut (from the Prince of Persia line) which could be expanded by adding more sets to it but not this year. Something like they did in the mid 80's with the Armor Shop, Blacksmith Shop, Siege Tower, Battering Ram and Knights Castle.

The biggest set has, what, 4 figures? Maybe they should have named it Galaxy One Dude and a Robot instead, because that's what the sets feel more like.

I'm liking the look of those new castle sets. It looks like the older castles, with less fancy poo poo and more stuff like catapults, actual walls, plenty of standard troops, etc.

smackfu posted:If you collect Architecture sets, Amazon has the Brandenburg Gate one for $23 instead of $35. Follow-up: So this set is fine, I guess. Like most of the architecture sets, lots of repetition (stack 4 cylinders, 8x). And this one has the fun of placing 80 cheese slopes for the roof and they have to be aligned perfectly. The horses on top should really be the same green as the roof, but I assume that's a part color availability issue. There is some clever stuff on the roof to get a half stud overhang, but other than that, it's nothing special.

My son got the large Galaxy Squad spaceship, and it's really great, he built it all himself(he's 6) and it's really solid with some neat features. None of the other current space ships catch my eye, but the large one is really cool.

I know they don't want to step on the toes of their LotR line, but I really want to see some old factions return - forestmen, vikings, Wolfpack - and see a set other than a castle, catapult or carriage.

I am picturing forestmen outposts built into trees, dungeons, boats, or just slice of life stuff like shops. e: also I was shamefully out of my Lego phase when those troll sets were out so I missed some sweet crazy poo poo. But mostly if they're going to do anything else historical/fantasy I want an ancient Greek and Roman mythology theme. Saint Sputnik fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jan 31, 2013 |

I think a lot of the galaxy squad stuff is cool, but only the $20 dollar fighter interests me. I've definitely lost a desire for "crazy" sets and am more interested in practical stuff. Like that awesome recycling truck from last year. That said, new bug fighter looks absurd and amazing. Great to see some amazing creativity from LEGO.

Dang, those Castle sets are virtually identical to the last line of Kingdoms stuff from before LotR hit. Just with blue accents for the good guys this time around. Oh well, less money I need to spend I guess.

The huge technic crane is looking even better, 4 of the 5 axles are steered, outriggers extend and raise the crane, and the boom extends to 70cm. I read somewhere that its supposed to be 2600 pieces, which would be 500 or so more than the unimog. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thirdwig/8433049298/in/photostream The tow truck also doesn't look bad: http://www.flickr.com/photos/92090133@N04/8431317343/in/set-72157632649266021 E: video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LeGTASiVbNk Ika fucked around with this message at 22:48 on Jan 31, 2013 |

The green truck really interests me with its use of small pneumatics and LA's.
