Well, good bye Bionicle, and welcome Hero Factory. Yup, this is the theme that will replace Bionicle and I heard it looks a little like Bionicle as the designer of Bionicle is the designer for this theme too. Well that's all for now.

LEGO 2010 Theme

Next year there will be a few new theme and also a few theme will end for awhile and forever. As for next year, there will be:

- Kingdom, a theme replacing Castle,

- World Racers, some racing theme with minifigs,

-also an unknown theme, which I'm not sure of the theme that will replace Bionicle,

and other theme that we already know like Ben10, Prince of Persia, Toy Story, Atlantis.

LEGO Prince of Persia #7573

The popular game Prince of Persia will have the movie release next year and there are even LEGO too. Below are the picture of the box art, I think this is the biggest Prince of Persia set.

It include seven minifigs and a camel and the set looks good too.

#7570


#7571


#7572

And there is one more set, which I suppose is the smallest #7569, the set contains a horse with printed bard, 4 minifig that include a skeleton and a small tomb (maybe) with new brown color grass.

#7789 Lotso's Dump Truck

#7596 Trash Compactor Escape

#7597 Western Train Chase

We have have a little idea on how's the movie is going perhaps?

*Pictures removed on the request of TLG.

More LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures

Seems like the rumor were true. Below are the sets we are getting on the second half, with a lot of new minifigs of course. This box art are not final though, they will looks better later before release. Below are the pictures of the second wave LEGO Star Wars set:

#8089 Hoth Wampa Cave

#8093 Plo Koon's Starfighter

#8095 General Grievous' Starfighter

#8096 Palpatine's Shuttle

#8097 Slave 1

#8098 Clone Turbo Tank

Looks like TLG is trying to bring back OT and PT sets, but still there are some Clone Wars set which I think is not bad.

LEGO Atlantis #8075 Neptune Carrier Picture

Here's the image of #8075 Neptune Carrier Picture from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr gallery:


This is another 3 in one vehicle TLG make again. It do seems good on the box, but looks a little strange on the complete model. For more images, please visit Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr gallery.

LEGO Atlantis #8061 Gateway of the Squid Pictures

Here's a picture of LEGO Atlantis #8061 Gateway of the Squid from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr gallery:

LEGO Atlantis #8057 Wreck Raider Picture

Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr gallery have a lot of pictures of the upcoming new sets and here's the picture of LEGO Atlantis #8057 Wreck Raider:


This set looks cool, and a squid blue key is included (but why shark have it?). There might be a little more stickers needed to add the detail, but still it is cool.

For more images, please visit:

LEGO Atlantis Impulse #8072 Sea Jet and #8073 Manta Warrior Picture

Here's pictures of #8072 Sea Jet and #8073 Manta Warrior taken from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr gallery:



Both the impulse certainly looks good, but #8073 Manta Warrior seems to be a little more pricey, maybe because of the unique headgear LEGO made. However, it is the cheapest set to get a Manta.
Anyway, Atlantis theme seems to be pretty interesting and appealing.

Images from Flickr.

LEGO Ben10 #8411 ChromaStone Picture

I gotta say, Ben10 set looks awful. I was expecting playset but not some monster figure. But we won't know about the future of this theme since kids love Ben10 and they might ask their parents to get for them. Anyway, I think this theme is targeting kids.


This image was taken from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr and he regret getting it.

Image from Flickr.

LEGO Star Wars #8085 Freeco Speeder Picture

Looks like next year will be another good year for LEGO Star Wars, but hopefully it is not too pricey during that time. Below are image of #8085 Freeco Speeder taken from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr:


First, we get the Talz Chief, and second, Anakin have both side of the head printed and I suppose the minifig, especially the Talz will fetch a good price. The Freeco speeder looks solid and heavy too.

For more images, please visit:
Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr

LEGO City Impulse #7567 Traveler Picture

The upcoming CITY impulse, which is the traveler do provide good accessories, like camera, bag and suitcase? Anyway, is a set we must have.


Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr do provide you the place to get it (from which TRU in the States of course) together with the price and of course a little more pictures.

Image from Flickr.

LEGO Star Wars #8084 Snowtrooper Battle Pack Picture

For the early release, Toys'R'Us do increase on the price a little, which is USD12.99. However, you might want to get a set to stop your crave for the 2010 battle pack and again here's a picture of a completed model of #8084 Snowtrooper Battle Pack taken from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr:


At least there is a few things I like from this battle pack, except for the platform. A nice speederbike is included, and a new AT-AT pilot and Officer too.

For more images, please visit:

LEGO Star Wars #8083 Rebel Trooper Battle Pack Picture

Toys'R'Us in the State got them release early, and it's cool that there are somebody who is willing the picture us. Below are a picture taken from Reasonably Clever Chris's Flickr:

It seems like the new headgear is pretty much cool when the goggle is up, but looks a little strange with the goggle down and of course, the ugly Snow Cutter.

LEGO CITY 2010

Whung find some interesting pictures on next year CITY set. Which I think there is something special about it, especially the limo:

#7567

#7684

#3222

#7688

Now your city have some rich tycoon that owns a helicopter and a limo, pretty cool eh? While #7688 which is the small air plane are believe to be airline promo product.

Images from Eurobricks.

LEGO Star Wars #8091 Republic Swamp Speeder Images

I gotta say, this set looks cool we are able to get Barriss Offee. In addition, there is a new Clone Trooper torso in it. Below are clearer image, together with a small box art:


We get a new Jedi next year!!! What a nice set I must say, and it is limited edition again.

Images from Eurobricks.

LEGO Star Wars #8092 Luke's Landspeeder

Finally here's come the pictures of #8092 Luke's Landspeeder. Well, at least there is no prelim marks on this one.
This set contains 163 pieces, that's what make it an expensive set although it might mostly made up of small part. IT is says to include 6 minifigs, although I'm not so agree with the little droid over there. But a cheap set to get Obi Wan and C-3PO together with the new Sand Trooper, the pauldron especially.

LEGO Star Wars #8091 Republic Swamp Speeder

We do see a lot of pictures of upcoming LEGO Star Wars set, however we are not expecting #8091 Republic Swamp Speeder.


This might be a good chance to own a swamp speeder if you do own Wookie Catamaran before. It might seems fake especially the background and Jedi but we are expecting Barris. As you can see, there will be two Battle Droid and a Super Battle Droid included . Also it seems to be an exclusive set. Pictures can be seen from 2010 catalog.

Image from Eurobricks.

LEGO Star Wars #8088 ARC-170 Starfighter Hi-res box art

Now we got a clear pictures of the box art, and it seems like both the Clone Pilot have the same torso but different helmet. Guess we will have a lot of Captain Jag later. Below are the image from FBTB's Flickr:


This set is up in Toy'R'Us website too, but still not available. See it HERE.

LEGO Toy Story, which is plan to release on 2010 set for early release and of course they are release in the United States, but still there is no news on where to get them.

Anyway, some lucky guy already have them, which is #7595 Army Men On Patrol and #7590 Woody and Buzz to the Rescue. Below are the images:

#7590 Woody and Buzz to the Rescue
19.99 USD

#7595 Army Men On Patrol

It seems like Woody come assemble in a different pack of bricks and so do Buzz Lightyear body parts. Luckily, they can be separated. I guess collector are going for the minifigs which is unique compare to other minifigs.

Upclose with LEGO Clone Pilot

We already know that we will be getting a new ARC-170 Starfighter Clone Pilot, especially the headgear which is alike with Star Wars Episode III pilot helmet (yea, the only different here is the helmet and torso) from #8088 ARC-170 Starfigher. Guess they are not from Clone Wars buy Prequel Trilogy who have dotted eyes.

Below are the image (a prelim image):

More LEGO Star Wars 2010 Images

Well I guess you guys might want to see more pictures regarding LEGO Star Wars 2010 sets. However, there is still no sign of new pictures of Luke Landspeeder which include a handsome amount of minifigs. Below are the images found in Eurobricks:

#8083 Rebel Trooper Army Pack

It seems like all those rebel got new headgear, instead of only one with new headgear according to Amazon. The minifigs is amazing!

#8084 Snow Trooper Army Pack

It seems like there is a new headgear and new torso from this set. Those who like Imperial Army sure will need to stock up a lot of these.

#8085 Freeco Speeder

The speeder turn out great and of course the new Talz minifig (if I recall the name rightly). But again, it comes with Anakin, the kids hero maybe?

#8086 Droid Tri-Fighter

I looks better compare to the previous version, and it gives more minifig than the previous version too and is a good chance to own one of this if missed out the previous version.

#8087 TIE Defender

This is from Expanded Universe, and there has been a few set from expanded universe like TIE Crawler, and Rogue Shadow, will be a need to purchase to complete your expanded universe series.

#8088 ARC-170 Starfigher

This sets still looks good although is a second version. Well, it includes Kit Fisto which I don't know why and new Clone Pilot helmet which is face revealing.

Images from Eurobricks.

LEGO Collectable Minifigs Image

I have posted about this one in the previous post, but without pictures and here is the picture of the minifigs:


We got Zombie minifig too, what a surprise. I can see a lot of cool new stuff there like the robot headgear, clown hair, pom pom. Pretty cool eh?

According to Brickset, it will be release on June 2010 and will last only about two months before they are out and another new figs are coming.

#10210 Imperial Flagship Review

A Eurobricks member, Svelte who is a lucky guy as he manage to get this #10210 Imperial Flagship early and the good news is that, he have put up a review in Eurobricks. Anyway it is a cool ship everyone would like to own.


Since we are all curious about the set, it is best that there is a review for us to refer to before we make any purchase, but still this ship is bigger than the one Brickbeard own.

Here's the link to the review: Eurobricks

The End of Bionicle

The rumor seems to be pretty true that Bionicle will end next year and of course it is a sad news for the Bionicle fans that have been supporting Bionicle all along. With the release of six Bionicle next year, which is Bionicle Stars, it will be the last release for the Bionicle line.

This however, do not end everything, the Bionicle story will still continues. Below are article extracted from BZP:
_________________________________________________________

Dear BIONICLE Fans,

In reviewing the business across all of its play patterns and properties, the LEGO Group faced a tough question: should we take on a new creative challenge in the world of buildable figures that we pioneered in 2001?

BIONICLE re-invented the way consumers think of and play with the LEGO system. Through many chapters of compelling story and innovative product development, BIONICLE became a very strong property and an important part of The LEGO Group’s business. We think there is a significant opportunity to grow the buildable figure category, but it will take a more flexible platform that appeals to a wider range of ages through a variety of different entry points than BIONICLE has proven to deliver.

The easy decision would be to stick with a known entity in BIONICLE; but as history has proven, The LEGO Group achieves its greatest success by embracing the uncertainty that innovation brings. After all, BIONICLE almost never launched because it was such a big risk to the company’s way of doing business.

Because you have been such an important part of building the BIONICLE franchise and have been among its most valued fans, we are writing to tell you that the six BIONICLE Stars launching in January will be the last BIONICLE sets for the foreseeable future. Beginning in summer 2010, The LEGO Group will debut a new, more flexible buildable figure property created by the same people who brought you BIONICLE. At the same time, we are also expanding the category to appeal to a younger audience through an established third-party property, starting in January.

Since its beginning, BIONICLE has reflected the union of great product and a compelling story. Although there presently are no plans for more sets, the BIONICLE story is not ending. BIONICLEstory.com will remain an active site, with new story content updated by long-time BIONICLE writer Greg Farshtey. In addition, LEGO Group hopes to work with you, the fans, to continue to grow and expand the BIONICLE story universe.

This was an extremely difficult decision for all involved. But as seen in the tales of the Toa, striving for success in any mission requires imagination, new ways of thinking, and the willingness to take risks. We hope you will share the same level of enthusiasm we have for our plans for the buildable figure category.

We invite you to remain a part of the BIONICLE universe—a universe you have helped to build, and that we are confident that you will continue to build—in the future. Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the BIONICLE and LEGO brands.

With our very best regards,
Jan Faltum, Global BIONICLE Director
Lincoln Armstrong, Senior Brand Manager, BIONICLE Team Member since 2002

LEGO Collectable Minifigure

I heard that there will be something different coming in 2010, which is the Collectable Minifigure and here's some details about it:

- each (one) minifig are randomly pack

- contains 16 kind of minifigs

- each box are of the same design and we do not know which minifig we are getting as we can't see inside.

This one is different from Vintage Minifigure Collection as the come one by one instead of five per set and we don't know which minifig we will be getting. Guess this is another LEGO new marketing strategy to make us buy more of it's product.

There are no images available yet however, and also the price is unknown, hope TLC give a reasonable price to it.

It will release here, Malaysia in May 2010.

LEGO Power Miners 2010 Box Art

We have seen the box art of the mech and the fire blaster. Now let us see the bigger set, which is the base and some sort of truck. Below are the (blurry) image of the box art:

There will be two magma monster from the base, one big and one small. Hopefully the base won't cost us much as it seems to be build from a few pieces.

Images from Amazon Japan.

LEGO Star Wars 2010 Battle Pack Box Art

Amazon Japan have the pictures uploaded, but they are still blurry. But should be viewable if they are smaller. Below are the pictures:
#8083 Rebel Trooper Army Pack

#8084 Snow Trooper Army Pack

The box art sure looks nice and of course, we will have to stock up plenty of them as they give us new headgear and of course a cool speeder for #8084 Snow Trooper Army Pack. Time to build your Hoth scene.

LEGO Star Wars 2010 Box Art

Well, these are the pictures that most of us are waiting for, the Star Wars theme images. Below are some find from Amazon:
#8085 Freeco Speeder
177 pieces
Amazon

#8086 Droid Tri-Fighter
268 pieces
Amazon

#8087 TIE Defender
304 pieces
Amazon

#8088 ARC-170 Starfigher
396 pieces
Amazon

As for the commander droid, there are just an extra printing on the head and the torso. But since I miss the old version Droid Tri-Fighter, I might be getting one.

Everything seems good to me except #8087 TIE Defender, maybe because of the small cockpic in the middle of those big wings. Also I'm not sure whether the Imperial Pilot using new helmet or not.

As for #8088 ARC-170 Starfigher, we get new Clone Pilot helmet, and I suppose one of them are Captain Jag. If you miss the previous release, it is time to get one now. But why Kit Fisto???

Images from Amazon.

LEGO Atlantis Box Art

Here's a few box art of the Atlantis theme, maybe I miss out some in the previous post since there is still confidential words on it. Anyway, here' the box art:
#8058 Guardian of the Deep
144 pieces
Amazon
#8059 Seabed Scavenger
119 pieces
Amazon
#8061 Gateway of the Squid
353 pieces
Amazon
#8075 Neptune Carrier
475 pieces
Amazon

Looks like the biggest set for now is #8075 Neptune Carrier, I also learn that this carrier are able to deploy a seabed rover and scout minisub and I guess this is the best vehicle in the team for now.

Guess I have a chance of owning all the sea monster now since Gateway of the Squid turn out to be cheap.
