Here is lots of news! I have not been updating in a while, so this post will be a biggie.

Some technic pictures were shown up so here they are. They called it "Leaked" but...




New power miner stuff

Target is coming out with new bioncicles... A few skrall and gresh agori. And peices to make a gold bionicle.




Lego.com also made a lego star wars set history thing. they made it using flash so its very, flashy. You will love it or hate it. (I love it)

Why hello folks! I just watched the new bionicle movie yesterday, and am giving it a A- rating.

Story: The story was pretty good. But very generic. The hero (in this case, mata nui) is blasted to bara magna, and must find a way home. Very RPGish.
Characters: The characters were made EXCELLENTLY! Tarix's voice fit her greatly. Teenager was just what I was thinking, because if they made her all high and mighty, I would have hated her. Another cool character was Berix, the thollector (mix of theif and collector). He was pretty funny, and very likable. And the traitor, my favorite bad guy, was funny. Like the part where he said, "Well Mata Nui, you will come back to me BEGGING for this chance" and the Mata Nui's mask went into attack mode and then the guy was like, "that was a joke, really!" and ran out. Ackar was just like a copy of Mata Nui, so I could not care less about him. Gresh was kinda cool, but a generic side-kick-hero guy. The one that allways gets the slamming.
Overall: It was a good movie, except for the fact that they DID NOT EVEN FINISH IT! Its like, sheesh.

Now, There is other lego news afoot, but I need to get to bed. its 10:03 PM EST time. I noticed that we got, like about a thousand visitors last month! It is mostly people looking up set numbers though. anyways, SEEYA!

I havent posted in a while, but were back with more news! More like, i'm back because I am the only operator of this site. sure modjedi is a moderator but... I am the one that does the posts, if thomas would stop ignoring me...

The winter toy shop is going to be in lego stores in europe in a few weeks... here is a pic and the set below.



here are some toy story legos... this image was found at eurobricks.com forums.

giant buzz looks like an exoforce dude...

and... THE NEWS!
two new mini power miners sets are available at target for about 3 bucks...


and it seems that the pirate advent calender is not going to be available in the USA. but some websites are starting a petition to get it over here. like eurobricks.com for example.

and thats about it!

s thought, the Tantive IV & Fire Brigade sets are now available to order from LEGO Store on-line world-wide.

A spokesperson for TT Games, the company that develops many of LEGO's computer games, has said that LEGO have been so impressed with the design work that they have done for the upcoming "LEGO Harry Potter - Years 1-4" game that they are thinking about relaunching a range of Harry Potter sets!  I'm sceptical that this will come to anything, but I'm hopeful that it does happen

The Mini TIE Fighter has been spotted in some UK TESCO stores in the last couple of days, for sale at £2.49.

There is lots going on in the US Brand Stores this month - $30US off the Green Grocer set between 4th & 16th September; $25US off the Town Plan set between 21st & 24th September; two new Stores are having their "Grand Opening" celebrations this month (Orland Park, IL, on 11th-13th Sept, & Paramus, NJ, on 17th-19th Sept); free Mini V-19 Torrent with a $75US or more purchase of Star Wars LEGO sets.

Thank you briskset for the news!

We havent posted in a while... :'( Sorry aboyt that, but we have loads of new lego pictures for the new Promo lego sets! And we have a special surprise at the bottom of the post...


Road Roller


Police Boat


Fireman's Car


Battle Droid on STAP


Clone Walker


Imperial Speeder Bike


Doctors Car

And for the surprise, WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE OF THE NEW SEASON OF CLONE WARS! The most watched TV show on cable, (thats what a website said I think) Comes back for another bounty hunter VS Jedi themed season on october 2nd! Save the date folks! Every friday starting 10/2/09 is the clone wars series! Unfortunatly, the magazine I got the date from did not include the time, so you will have to go to cartoonnetwork.com/clonewars and see if that site has a time...

This looks nothing like click... but I guess it works for lego...

Here we have a few new christmas lego stuff, but none of them are released or have information...





And the golden lego brick magnets!


And thats it! if you want more stuff, go to my blog!

New building books came to the shop.lego.com. here is a picture...



It comes with bricks and the two minifigs listed on the front. I do not know where you can get it.
The review also said that the they come with cheesy text next to the models like "Help the lego knight out by making a catapult!" stuff like that...

Hey Peoples! The GWLS will be held at the STEAM Museum in Swindon... If you click the link below, there is a video with amazing sets in it...

Ive looked at the video and it is child safe.
Unfortunatly, no pictures... (sobs)

But you will be interested in this (i think)

A press release issued today at LEGO.com shows that in the first thalf of this year its sales and profits
have increased significantly due in part to "continued strong growth in classic product lines" which has to
be good news for us all. It's interesting that Bionicle is not mentioned because in the past it has been
attributed with being the cause of strong sales but this time it's Star Wars and City.

What's more, LEGO seem to be bucking the industry trend of falling profits. This article at Bloomberg states
that Mattel have reported a 19% drop in sales during the last quarter so it's great that LEGO's high quality
traditional products are still in demand with consumers.

Wow...

***UPDATE*** We had a little bit of offline time to fix the logo... And to check if the offline thing
would work...

Theres a new lego game out... It looks like it has chess, checkers, backgamon and three other things
I cannot read...

We had some downtime earlier this morning. I have found out the problem and removed it. Anyways, now onto the 2010 Technic set titles!

Mini telescopic handler
Helicopter
Compact excavator
Buggy
And Tractor with crane.

Now... Let us go back the year 1970 (before I was born) and see what legos were like then!

Ambulance


And now lets go foward a little to 2001 and see what Bionicles (They were a Technic Subtheme at the time...) were like!

Toa Lewa


In one year, the toa changed into Nuva. This is Kopaka (I used to have this guy, but I lost the peices...)


2005, The lego star wars video game is out for PC, Gameboy, Xbox, and playstation2.



Also in 2005, the Toa Hordika came out and hit stores... (I was little back then and wasnt into lego. but luckily, I found one in wal*mart last year, thought that was weird...



The gang is on the loose! The piraka come in 2006 and so do the toa inika.



Piraka Zaktan (top) and Toa Inika Jaller (bottom)


Then, we have the Toa Mahri in 2007... (worst year in Bionicle in my opinion)


Then in 2008 we have the Phantoka and then the Mistika (two series in one year is pretty cool)


Then we have 2009... BARA MAGNA! This is the best series I think...


Now we must wait for the movie to come out... September 15 is the day it comes out...

This is a recent set from lego. looks nice in my opinion...



Build Seattle, Washington's famous Space Needle! Created for the 1962 World's Fair, this sweeping futuristic tower is the fourth in the LEGO Architecture Landmark series of real-world construction models. Built out of gray bricks, the assembled Space Needle stands 8.7 inches (222 mm) tall on a 3.1-inch (80 mm) base with a printed label and includes a booklet with facts about the building, its construction and its history. A striking and imaginative display for your desk, bookshelf or mantelpiece! Replica of real-world architectural landmark Seattle Space Needle! Booklet included with details on design and history!

but I think I like the Fallingwater set better.



Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934, Fallingwater is perhaps the most famous residential home in the world. Open to the public since 1963, this masterpiece exemplifies Frank Lloyd Wright's organic architectural style by intimately merging man with the surrounding landscape. This highly-detailed LEGO model, co-developed and designed by architect Adam Reed Tucker, captures all of the distinctive features that make Fallingwater an architectural landmark. The assembled Fallingwater model stands 10 inches (256 mm) wide on a gray base with printed name label and includes a booklet with facts about the building, its construction and its history. A striking and imaginative display for your desk, bookshelf or mantelpiece! Replica of real-world architectural landmark Fallingwater! Booklet included with details on design and history! (English language only) Measures 10 inches (256 mm) wide!

Fallingwater is my fav...
