Bionicle Glatorians Available in Malaysia

Bionicle fans of Malaysia can now get their hands on the Glatorian already. It is already available, all six of them, but I'm sure about Agori as I only saw Glatorian itself. Each cost RM60, just like the Mistika.

I was actually attracted to these Bionicle, but too bad, I can't afford them anymore. They are really not bad. Bionicle fans must really go and get them.

LEGO Castle 2009

After the release of Medieval Market, LEGO will be releasing another 3 sets again, which all looks good to me, especially the Troll Fortress and Drawbridge which will include us at least two new minifigs. Guess this year will be quite a happy year for Castle collector although there is not much set to be release. Below are details about them:

#7078 King's Battle Chariot
Piece: 103
Price: 19.99USD
Release: August

#7079 Drawbridge Defense
Piece: 335
Price: 39.99USD
Release: August

#7097 Trolls' Mountain Fortress
Piece: 844
Price: 99.99USD
Release: August

In #7078 King's Battle Chariot we get two troll's shield which is rare. On top of that, we get a printed king's leg. Now the king minifig seems to be very common, but still, it didn't hurt to get one.

As for #7079 Drawbridge Defense, we know that we will have another chance to get a jester with two facial expression I suppose. Besides that, we will be getting a queen minifig (I suppose is a queen) and the golden knight, which seems to be not bad. Other than that, we can see the evil skeleton resurrect.

While for #7097 Trolls' Mountain Fortress, there will be four new minifigs, the two new giant troll which has printed troll logo on their forehead, the evil troll witch and the troll king. Got to say that this set is a must get as it gives a great amount of minifigs and there are new fire pieces in it.


LEGO really done a good job in designing these new sets, although there are a little changes in the past release, which actually makes me feel that they are degraded, especially the design.

LEGO #10194 Emerald Night

I guess some of you might have seen this train, #10194 Emerald Night. It is confirmed that it is an official set and will be release by LEGO in late March or early April. There will be three minifigure include in this set.



#10194 Emerald Night
Piece: 1085
Price: 99.99USD

This set is looks really detail, especially the front part of the train. This train is 68cm long. The interior looks not bad too. Guess this is a must have set for the train collector.

You guys most probably can see the picture if you guys browse LEGO Online Shop by theme. Not sure they use this image on which theme cover.

EDIT: For United States and Canada, this set is up on LEGO Online Store and will be release on 15th of April. As for now, you can only add the set into your wishlist.

Is up too in other country, but no date are stated.

Below are the link to the set:

LEGO Mindstorms NXT 2.0

Mindstorms is coming up with a it's second generation servo. Although this servo looks a little ugly (his head was upside down) but it should be more advance than the previous servo.

#8546 Mindstorms NXT 2.0
Piece : 619
Price : 279.99USD
Release : August

Although I would like to have my own servo, but too bad, the price here is too expensive. Barely can afford one.

Power Miners Summer 2009

A bit busy lately, and didn't manage to post all of the information here.

There will still be another 3 Power Miners set coming in this summer. Together with the coming set, there will be new rock monster, including the new crystal king although it was build by brick. Below are some information regarding the set:


#8962 Crystal King
Piece : 168

Piece : 225
Price : 34.99USD
Release : August


#8964 Titanium Command Rig

It's cool to have a crystal king set. LEGO made a new mold for the head and the chest plate. Kind of like the translucent pieces from the crystal king. Guess that's the nicest model fro the coming set.

LEGO Agents 2009

Finally I manage to find 2009 Agents set prelim images.

In the past release of Agents theme, their fight is somewhere far from the city. In 2009, LEGO release the Agents set whereby, there will be going against each other in a city or town. Now, look like you can mess up LEGO CITY of yours with more and more theme and make it one complicated city that has all sort of superhero and villain.

Below are the picture from Brickshelf:

#8967 Gold Tooth's Getaway
Wow, ugly bike and car, I guess the price should be cheap and you get a gold dinosaur. Other than tha, I see that agent Chase is wearing some armor.

#8968 River Heist
I see new villain minifigs in it so do the agent have armor plate protecting his torso.

#8969 4-Wheeling Pursuit
Guess LEGO is out of idea, there are just a little changes compare to Mission 5 Turbocar Chase and there is this look a like Dr. Inferno green monster minifig.

#8970 Robo Attack
I see new pieces in this, the windscreen of the robot is something new I think.

#8971 Aerial Defense Unit
This is a huge chopper that need to rotor blade to move it. I like and dislike this set maybe because of the wide body of the chopper and small tail. IS the pilot the villain or allies?

I guess I will put a stop in this theme as there are many Star Wars set released this year, and they are all nice set.

LEGO Star Wars Summer 2009

LEGO seems to make more and more LEGO Star Wars set to be release and well, not all, but most of it are a nice set. For LEGO Star Wars fans, this year our pocket will be badly hit my this LEGO Star Wars fever.

Below are the picture of them with their price:



#7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid
Pieces: 216
Price : 24.99USD
Release: August



#7749 Echo Base
Pieces: 155
Price : 24.99USD
Release: August



#8036 Separatist Shuttle
Pieces: 259
Price : 29.99USD
Release: August


#8037 Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter
Pieces: 567
Price : 59.99USD
Release: August



#8038 The Battle of Endor
Pieces: 890
Price : 99.99USD
Release: August




#8039 Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser
Pieces: 1170
Price : 119.99USD
Release: August


#10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker
Pieces: 1758
Price : 249.99USD
Release: 30th March


Mon Calamari Cruiser
Price: 109.99USD
Toys'R'Us Exclusive

For #7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid there will be two Clone Troopers with jetpack and two battle droid. A launching platform for you to catapult you Clone Trooper will be provided. And the Tank Droid will fire the whole cannon out of it. The set seems to have a lot more pieces than #7749 Echo Base for the same price but I think is the thread that make it has more pieces.

For #7749 Echo Base, as usual, there will be flick fire with the turret and place for you to keep the rebel. What's new inside is the goggle of the rebel and Taun Taun. But anyway, it was a great set to build your Hoth army.

As for Separatist Shuttle, you can see that you will get a pilot droid, new minifg like Nute Gunray. The space inside the shuttle is quite limited and it seems like only can fit Nute Gunray. On the other hand, #8037 Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter will have a Clone Wars R2-D2 unit, that's something new but not much function in the set.

#8038 The Battle of Endor will have a lot people wanting it, as there are so many minifigs in it including the Scout Trooper which took their rest for around 10 years already and the new Death Star Trooper. Fortunately, LEGO has redesign the torso of the rebel, making them looks better. Well, this set definitely gonna give you a number of new minifigs.

Venator-Class Republic Attack Cruiser seems to include us a Clone Pilot instead of normal Clone Trooper. Besides that, there is this new scary Palpatine face and a new mold for Senate Commando headgear. Guess there is a improvement in this set, especially the minifig.

What is surprising is that #10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker will be release in the near future and I mean it, which is March 3oth according to sources. This ship contains 8 minifigs- 2 Clone Pilot, 6 Clone Trooper, but still is insuffiecient and way over-priced which is 250USD. By the way, it can carry AT-TE.
