Some hit the mark and some didn't?
The Chase set is excellent! A good mix of figures and some nice cars into the bargain.
The flying wing, Brilliant! The plane is well made and sturdy the characters fit into it nicely, my only fault with it was the stickers, Lego should have given two pages of stickers with this set due to the way they fit onto the wing, it's tricky when you first look at it and you can easily make a mistake with these.
As for the sets shown at the toyfair.
The venice set, I wouldn't have gone this way myself, as I would have made the Library set where "X" marks the tomb of the knight complete with rats?
I like the Marion's kidnap set but where's the monkey and his keeper?
I love the temple of doom, has some interesting characters complete with a roller coaster?
PLane chase, I have no comment, except to say the cabin of the airship would have been nice diorama where a certain guy gets chucked out the window?
Overall, the sets are improving each year, there are main characters that are missing, like Toth, Salac & Brody but I'm sure Lego has these awaiting in the wings, well done Lego, I didn't think you could top the SW theme but this is a start, Marty.
