It’s time for Toy Fair! The LEGO Collector Event at the International Toy Fair is happening this Sunday from 7am to 9am EST. We’ll be starting our coverage a little bit after that. The badges that you see above, feature the Movie Starlet minifig from the Collectible Minifig Series 9, most likely hinting at all of the licensed properties that are sure to dominate the show floor. The Lone Ranger, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, Superman, Iron Man, and who knows what else. Oh, and of course, Star Wars. With more active licenses under LEGO’s belt than before, this year’s show is sure to be packed full of goodies. We’ll do our best to bring you the most complete coverage as possible so come back on Sunday to check it out.

LEGO Announces The Lone Ranger Theme

The Lone Ranger

Update: We’ve been asked to take the image down.

At some point in the recent past, LEGO made live the brand site for their newest licensed theme, The Lone Ranger. You only get the CG image above with a date of April 2013. The Lone Ranger movie is a Disney film starring Armie Hammer as title character and Johnny Depp as Tonto. The expected release date for the film is July 3, 2013. I have doubts as to whether or not sets based on the movie will be available for viewing at Toy Fair. Disney’s pulled product from the booth for the collector event only to put them back out for the industry appointments. Stay tuned for more news as we get it.

Thanks to Groove Bricks for writing it in.

The Lone Ranger Saddles Up In First Trailer

Huw over on Brickset has reported that a theme based on The Lone Ranger movie has been confirmed. We’ve received no such confirmation, but for some reason I have no doubt that this will happen. In any case, here’s the films first teaser for your viewing… let’s say pleasure. This theme could potentially have some nice western set pieces and a Lone Ranger figure would be pretty neat, but I’ll pass on the bird headed Tonto. It’s just a teaser, but the odd thing for me is that I was into it right up until we actually see the titular character and his sidekick at which point the whole thing felt like it hit a huge dramatic shift and that seems like a bad sign. Fingers crossed for everyone involved, but one more question.
Do kids even like westerns anymore?
