Prominence

The shelves over here are always stocked with LotR and Hobbit sets. I'm not sure that's a good thing, because the prices are disgustingly high and I perfectly understand why no one but the most die hard fans would buy them.

I sure hope the Legend Beasts don't have any stickers.

I was hoping 2013/early 2014.

I was wondering if there was still a chance we'd get a Smaug set?

Amazing.

I think the store manager just made a mistake. It's a strange idea to move a theme that's known to sell well to the back of the store where apperently no one can see it.

If you're not paying American dollars, you're paying way too much anyway.

Isn't there a library on the site like there was with Ninjago?

Guys, are all the gold pieces in the 2013 sets the same kind of gold?

All those wings are still nice to have and so is the minifigure.

I'm sorry, I don't watch the show... I went to Intertoys today and got my Golden Dragon there and then cancelled my order on bol.com. I was going to take some pictures, but not only am I a terrible photographer, I also have a terrible camera. In conclusion, no review from me. I can still say I like the minifigs and some of the weapons (samurai sword, hammer, dragon sword). The Zamor Sphere works as expected and the stone scout catapult works okay too. I like all the gold and the printing on the dragon's head. The only complaint I have is the "sturdiness" of the dragon. I'm not sure what was wrong with the articulation of the previous dragons and why they felt like changing it.

I'd like to get some new non-vehicle (that includes mechs) sets. Spinners with Kimono ninjas would be nice too.

Yeah, most "famous" reviewers don't even bother to read about the stories and they can't even put the mask on straight, but in the end they still give high ratings to the set. Also, it seems like some of those crocs suffer from the same problem as some of the orcs. You can see their teeth even with the croc mask on.

Could anyone tell me if the Warrior Bike includes any stickers?

So, it looks like I won't be getting my Golden Dragon until next week (28 december). *Enter Ninjago curse words here.*

I'm still wondering why Lego wanted a break. The fans were happy which meant big sales which should make Lego happy. I guess they are following some kind of marketing strategy that says that most themes get boring after three years or they just failed to see how popular Ninjago really was. Maybe they just wanted to give LoC the possibility to set up a fan base while at the same time not losing the Ninjago fans by telling them Ninjago will be back in 2014 so they won't not buy LoC sets out of spite.

The on Ewald is unfortunate.

It looks like I'm getting my Golden Dragon Friday. If there hasn't been a proper review of the Golden Dragon by then I might take some pictures. I could take pictures either way if there's something specific you guys want to see.

Not only are they annoying to put on, they also start to lose their stickiness after a while.

Wow, the Target Practice set has two trans light blue axe pieces. Too bad I don't care that much for the eagles. The crocs on the other hand... I fear Crawley's Claw Ripper has stickers and I hate stickers more than the crocs hate the lions.

I love that red colored axe piece in the boat. Is it a new color for axe pieces?

Our fat blue friend has it for 29.99 starting Monday, so you'll have it on Tuesday. Toys XL has it for 29.99 as well. I wouldn't be surprised if you could already find it at Intertoys (in stores), because I believe they usually get new stuff on Thursdays. It's 32 euros at Intertoys, though.

It looks like the new sets will be "officially" available in the Netherlands starting December 17.

I'll check my local stores but I doubt they'll have any.

Add transfer costs to the online prices and you probably have the same prices as in the actual store.
