LEGO Prince of Persia

LEGO has reveal the minfigs for the coming Prince of Persia theme. Not sure why I got some kiddy feeling, maybe is because of the ostrich (I'm not a fans for Prince of Persia, not know if those guys have names or not).

The minifigs are just awesome as we get more new torso, headgear, and even hairpiece. Not sure if we gonna have a new face though and by the way, we will be getting camel too.

It seems like UK will have this set release earlier than the United State and Canada. It will be release on 25th August for UK. Guess most of the OT fans will get this set to add into their collection. Below are the image of the minifigs taken from FBTB:

Looks like the guy mess up Captain Antilles face with normal rebel face. He looks happy though, must have struck a space jackpot.

SDCC 09 Exclusives

So here's the content that we are waiting to see from SDCC 09 Exclusive set. It turn out to be . . .

A mini AT-TE and a mini dropship. This set itself will cost you $50. Not sure it is worth for a 2 mini model or for the 202 pieces. The box sure looks big to me, don't think this set is worth getting but the dropship do carry the mini AT-TE though.

Anyway, I guess most of the people will find alternative to save their money which is find the instructions and buy the bricks itself to construct this two models.

Also there will be six collectible display set from LEGO which consist of 3 minifigs and some cool background, like what Hasbro do for the battle pack.

They look not bad and some are worth buying since we only want the minifigs but not the whole set. I guess the one with Mon Calamari will be the best seller among all six of them.

LEGO Power Miners #8709 Underground Mining Station

The date for the release of for #8709 Underground Mining Station has drawn near and some lucky places even have them release earlier than the expected date. Anyway below are the shot of the box art, which is clearer:

Now that you can see this set contains 637 pieces, but it still looks so empty, maybe there are too much small pieces included in this set.
