Hooray for better shots of the new Star Wars sets! The board games also seem like a cool idea, especially if they come up with original games. Actually, even if the games are just new versions of other board games, its so much more awesome because it's LEGO! And the kingdom looks great, like they're going back to the classic sets we once new a while ago. There's no super crazy wizards and trolls, just good old knights. Again...STAR WARS!!! Yaaay!

Quick Question: What does it take to get to one of these fairs, do I have to be a reporter or something special?

[Darth Jokar]

Not bad so far. Ill wait for better pic's from the NYC toyfare. They'll have better pic's. But the sets dont look to bad.

[CaptainPike]

The games look quite interesting.
The Duplo Cars look identical to last year's MegaBloks Cars. No Surprise.
But I am surprised Power Miners is still going. The initial series was fun but how many green digging machines do we need?
World Racers looks like a winner. Combining Minis with wacky vehicles should do well. I smell a video game tie in.

I am looking forward to more Space Police! That new Space Police ship looks goofy but the Space Limo set looks really nice and comes with a new alien! But the Police station set looks like another weak playset in the SP3 line. :-/

What's up with the Space Police set named "Citadel of Orlan?" It looks nothing like my Citadel of Orlan:

I am loving the purple fedora on the Space Police villain.

Some of the new alien heads are looking pretty good especially the space Huggy Bear and the fish headed guy. Intergalactic Starsky and Hutch, Awesome. Where's the Torino.

[Model Gal]

What I don't get is why they have Racers and World Racers. That just seems like doing the same thing twice. I've never been much of a fan of the racer line to begin with, but this is just ridiculous.

[Jargon]

I'm going to have to disagree, Model Gal. The two lines are not that similar to each other.
The World Racers have minifigures, presumably a storyline, and are much more fantastical than the miniscale Racers.

[Robzula]

World Racers looks like Agents 2.0 with less color coding.

I'd say it's a pass for me.

...But I am surprised Power Miners is still going. The initial series was fun but how many green digging machines do we need?...

Shut your mouth! LOL (Said jovially and sarcastically)

Heh, I LOVE the Power Miners line. And it's helped to get me to buy other LEGOs I woud have otherwise passed on.

You may not want more digging machines, but I can't get enough of them. I find these sets very interesting, unique and imaginative for the most part. Redundant minifigs is my only major complaint. But LEGO has made some changes there by making the new armored miners for lava mining. (2010 PM theme)

Besides, there are only 4 new sets of PM planned for this year and two of those are already out. Don't worry, they won't be clogging up space for other lines.

There's always the possibility that it's a misguided homage to the original (in name only), but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's because it's a PRELIMINARY image. Could be they just slapped on a temporary name from an existing set because it used the same font on the box art. Notice that 5983 says "US prod name."

[Faulconbridge]

My kids will be excited about these. My six year old would like the new battle packs and the Wampa set. My three year old loves Cars, but I don't know if we'll buy many of the Duplo. We've got a few Thomas sets and they take up a lot of space. Plus, he's got a couple dozen of the die cast Cars. Of course, he'd like the Racers too, so he might go for those instead.

[donneyboy]

The battle packs are out now. Wal Mart should have them for $10.96 or something like that.

[Stylin291]

Great... just what I need is ANOTHER snow-speeder which I'm inevitably going to have to buy because I want a Wampa and Hoth Luke fig. It's an unnecessary vehicle that'll add 20 dollars to what could have been a reasonably priced set.

You should be flattered that the LEGO group knows you so well.
