New sets: Winter Village Bakery & Tower Bridge

Update: New set pics available here: Link

**********************************

One of the more exciting news I’ve read this week is that 2 new sets have been leaked via Amazon Japan: 10216 Winter Village Bakery and 10214 Tower Bridge.  Since I love the 10199 Winter Toy Shop, I’ve high expectations of the Winter Bakery. Now awaiting pics of the sets but the jap description mentions lights, pond, owls and 687 pieces (so probably a mini set that I need to get at least 2 sets to modularise like the Winter Toy Shop).

For the Tower Bridge set, I’m expecting a Taj Mahal type of set and the jap description mentions the London bus, London taxi and a truck (?) and 4287 pieces (huge!).

A few pics of the new SW sets were also made available this week. But news (and prelim pics) were out ages ago so no re-blogging here.  Pics can be easily found on Eurobricks forum.

For completeness, I’ll also mention that there is news of a re-issue of the Maersk Ship (10155), Architecture series White House (21006) and 7848 TRU delivery truck (with mini TRU shopfront).  All quite interesting but then the Winter Bakery is the most thrilling for me.  🙂

New sets & keychains plus more pics of Series 2 Minifigs

A couple of new sets from Brickset:

I haven’t mentioned that I collect Lego keychains, but I do and have a fairly large collection (100-ish?).   If you collect keychains as well, new keychains for Lego Kingdoms are on Brickset: 852958 (King) & 852911 (Jester)

Seems like TLG is heeding the call for more female minifigs cos a new magnet set will be out soon, with  Dyna-Mite (Agents), the Pirate female (fairly generic female pirate with eye patch), and a mixed POP Princess Tamina hair with Pink shirt and white pants (from one of the female keychain sets).  It’s 852948 and refer to Brickset for more info.

Another new magnet set for the Star Wars series includes the pretty Barriss, so it’s a great opportunity for SW fans to get hold of the minifig without shelling out for the TRU exclusive set 8091 Republic Swamp Speeder.  As usual, click on link to Brickset: 852947

A German website has new pics of the Series 2 8684 minifigs:  Link

After looking at the new pics, I think the Karate kid is great with the little gold lego ‘oscar’ award.  I suppose it’ll be fun to create an entire karate class… The surfer dud is also nicer than I initially thought.  I just like the overall look (bod, haha)…

Update: Barcodes are available for download on Brickset to help you check the minifigs for Series 1:

New game pics out: Orient Bazaar & Meteor Strike

Brickset has just released new pics of 3849 Orient Bazaar  and 3850 Meteor Strike.  Both games look interesting.  Orient Bazaar for the parts (perfume bottles!) and Meteor Strike for the design so I added them both to my ‘want’ list on Brickset.  🙂

Crane pose & karate kick

The interesting poses (and colours) caught my eye. 

The 1st one a little like one of those gongfu shows with a “crane” pose, the 2nd a “kicking” stance (no familiar gongfu name comes to mind tho).  Click on link for more pics by Pete Corp.
