Oky Posted September 26, 2009 I don't know what you're trying to link to, but I know that brickset counts Ninjas as a subtheme of Castle: Link Either way, that new katana holder piece is awesome! Can't wait to get it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCC1004 Posted September 26, 2009 Trust me that's the way all ninja swords look like in person, especially the grey ones, besides it's like what Etzel said. It's sad though since this means the back thing is not a possible bringer of a revamped ninja theme. No, it's supposed to be a dagger and looks like a sword. I wish we'd see ninjas agian. I've realized how TLG is using cheaper plastic for some parts like the TNT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted September 26, 2009 I have not seen Pics of Prince of Persia in my dealer catalog, so they are coming in the second half of year or they come not in the Netherlands (I hope that not everybody that already knew instead of me ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kill will Posted September 26, 2009 No, it's supposed to be a dagger and looks like a sword. I wish we'd see ninjas agian. I've realized how TLG is using cheaper plastic for some parts like the TNT. The plastic used for the dynamite is the same as the katanas, walkie-talkies, batman guns, and a few others that don't come to mind I assume the reason is so the fuse or blade or antennae can flex a bit without snapping. I dislike it though because the minifig hands shred it up and it looks horrible after some use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supertoad64 Posted September 27, 2009 I'm not that interested in this theme, but all of those traps are instantly recognizable. They are taken straight from the PoP games. Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I saw this set too. It looks pretty plain, but the games (especially the original PC game) were all about elaborate death traps in somewhat bland, dungeon environments. The traps and the character animation was always the focus. It's really pretty amazing how accurately LEGO has managed to work the feel of the games into this set. I wonder if the movie will be able to do the same? And I must say that the figs are even better than I could have imagined. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted September 27, 2009 I have not seen Pics of Prince of Persia in my dealer catalog, so they are coming in the second half of year or they come not in the Netherlands I've heard whispers of March/ April - so not the Jan wave but before the second half of the year. The movie releases May 28 in the US, so they would have to be around at least a month before then to maximise sales during the pre-release hype. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thee Pirate Posted September 29, 2009 Now I know what theme to spend my money on when Pirates no longer is. I concur. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curtisrlee Posted September 30, 2009 Translated from http://www.legoland.cz/legonovinky2010.html What am I most looking forward to? 7570 Ostrich Races. -darthperson Interesting find I shall watch for these sets despite being a Pirates fan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy Posted September 30, 2009 I've heard whispers of March/ April - so not the Jan wave but before the second half of the year. The place where the PoP minifigs were first shown had a cardboard stand that said "Coming April 2010". So they aren't just whispers you've heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ILikePi Posted October 3, 2009 Joe Meno of BrickJournal has posted some pictures of the ostrich and camel! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted October 4, 2009 Wow! Both of those look very nice! I love how great the ostrich looks in flesh color! These are two animals I never thought we would see in official Lego, and I am very impressed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollisbrick Posted October 4, 2009 Wow, very nice and very impressed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
posades Posted October 4, 2009 Haha that ostrich is awesome, though I would have liked to have seen a saddle fit it as well. Slowly but surely LEGO is making more molded animals, maybe now they can finally make that Zoo subtheme! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Posted October 4, 2009 Nice, the first pics of the actual production animals (previous pics were prototypes, right?). These look very detailed, yet maintain that typical Lego look. I'm quite optimistic about there being a safari or zoo theme at some point using these. The zoo theme in Duplo has proven to be a theme with much potential, so I bet it would make a good City sub-theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know I'd be buying tons of that, if for nothing else, my daughter's joy! What's a zebra, but a striped horse? They also already have monkeys, owls, and snakes, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted October 4, 2009 They look very nice. I only ask myself how a minifig can ride on the camel. It looks a bit strange. A city zoo would be great and it is strange that TLC not released something in the last years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 24 Posted October 4, 2009 Love the new Camel and Ostrich now they're not made from that grainy plastic stuff. The Ostrich's flesh parts fit it perfectly. I presume the grey brick in the Camels saddle is removable allowing a figure to ride it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Who Posted October 4, 2009 I'm really happy to finally see some other lego part than a minifig in flesh color. I presume the grey brick in the Camels saddle is removable allowing a figure to ride it?More than likely, seeing as how it would require a new mould to make a semi-useless solid saddle like that.

Fumoffu Posted October 4, 2009 Thanks for the photos. The camels and ostrichs look fantastic. Much better than I imagined. Now I can't wait to get my hands on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Bricks Posted October 5, 2009 They look good but a little bigger than I expected. I assume there are no pics with a minifig for comparison? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Svelte Posted October 6, 2009 I'm really happy to finally see some other lego part than a minifig in flesh color. The pigs in the Farm set looked flesh too (maybe dark flesh), so at looks as if this is the way of the future Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derek Posted October 6, 2009 The pigs in the Farm set looked flesh too (maybe dark flesh), so at looks as if this is the way of the future I was thinking the same thing myself...I think the color looks realistic, and I'm glad Lego didn't go with the stereotypical pink.

posades Posted October 6, 2009 The pigs in the Farm set looked flesh too (maybe dark flesh), so at looks as if this is the way of the future They looked dark flesh to me, but honestly pig hues vary a bit so it really doesn't matter that much. I think this is the first time I've been more excited for the animals in a theme than the actual sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
