Has anyone else seen the rundown of new 2013 sets at The Brothers Brick (http://www.brothers-brick.com/)? Oh geez, my wallet is already screaming “MERCY”! I have not had time to peruse all the pictures but on first blush, the Lone Ranger Train and Stagecoach sets, all the LoTR sets, and the new Castle sets are all definitely on my hit list. At $12, 70400 Forest Ambush looks like an awesome Castle parts/minifigs set and draft set.
February 11, 2013 at 4:09 pm #947ZemataParticipantThe second wave of Galaxy Squad is top of my list. Hoping that it somehow gets a third round. A few of the Chima sets are buys for me. I really like the way the new city sets are headed. Despite the slightly juniorized plane parts it seems to me like they’re getting back to their roots with sets and boxart that remind me of the stuff I loved from the 90s.

my wallet does not thank you.
February 12, 2013 at 10:20 pm #979Matt RedfieldKeymasterDefinitely some good stuff coming; haven’t had time to investigate fully, but I agree it may be a rough year for our portfolios (but only if we don’t count LEGO as a prime investment medium…)
February 13, 2013 at 10:05 am #989TimModeratorawesome site. thanks for the share. my wallet does not thank you.
The Brothers Brick is a great Lego blog and the only one I check with any regularity. I took some time and more carefully reviewed the Long Ranger sets. I’m not real excited about 79107 Comanche Camp, but the rest look really good. I can see getting multiples of 79106 Cavalry Builder Set just for the blue cavalry minifigs (although what I will do with multiple Lone Rangers, I don’t know).
April 11, 2013 at 4:42 pm #1509TimModeratorFrom what I have read, we should be starting to see some of the Lone Ranger sets anytime now.

Lone Ranger sets look awesome! I love that they have a cavalry builder set, more horses ftw!
May 10, 2013 at 10:54 am #1714ZemataParticipantThey’re out at CIII toysrus at their rediculous prices. Only buy there if you can coupon them to MSRP. Ill be looking for galaxy squad wave 2 this weekend.
May 10, 2013 at 3:13 pm #1716LauraParticipantYa, I only shop at Toysrus if I have a coupon anymore. Prices are ridiculous, and the they’ve really upset me in the past with misleading advertisements. However, they did redeem themselves a little last year by allowing me to use an in-store only coupon online because the set I wanted to buy was not in stock at any local stores.
May 13, 2013 at 10:28 pm #1765Matt RedfieldKeymasterSo yeah, is anyone else thoroughly unimpressed by the Orthanc set?
I mean, aside from the minifigs, it’s got nothing on this MOC:
Just sayin’.

I don’t think Lego is ready to put out a $10,000 set. 😀 That said, I think 10237 is a pretty nice set. Love the Sauruman and Wormtongue figs.
May 15, 2013 at 9:46 am #1800LauraParticipantYa, I think Orthanc is pretty nice. It’s in the same line as the Death Star, not the most detailed version ever (because it has to be marketable) but still a pretty nice set.
May 15, 2013 at 10:33 am #1808Andrew W. Huntley IIParticipantI feel like Orthanc is probably on my “if possible” list. The Pirate Ship is going to be a definite, although I am surprised with the number of smaller sets I will be purchasing multiples of. (Castle and Lone Ranger) The Advent Calendars also look really good for both Star Wars and City.

Indeed. I was mostly tongue-in-cheek there; for a reasonably-priced set, the one they’re putting out looks pretty good!
May 28, 2013 at 10:56 am #1975ZemataParticipantLone Ranger is out pretty much everywhere at C3. Toysrus has the summer sets for creator, lotr, galaxy squad, ultrabuild chima figures, hero factory and that’s it so far I think.
July 19, 2013 at 5:28 pm #2435Greg SchubertParticipantAnyone like olive green cheese slopes? It seems that the European Pick-a-Bricks has them in large quantities:

I think the same can be said for the round 1×1 tiles in light bluish gray:
August 13, 2013 at 8:11 pm #2682Greg SchubertParticipantAnyone else heard of pocket sized racecar sets from Shell? Apparently this is old news … in other countries.
