    There were actually leaks by Lego store employees telling of the new X-Wing and Ewok Village back in January but most people didn't take them seriously. I need to get myself some Lego store employee friends. :P

    Me and my son are actually friends with the manager at Westfield London! We barely ever ask him for info though, as we'd hate for him to get into trouble.

    I'm sure a bit of modding might fix that. My son's really happy that Galaxy Squad has finally come out, so I guess starting with the biggest set is a good way to kick start a collection! I also thought the Bug Obliterator would be a better choice for him, I didn't see as much lasting appeal in the VV compared to the Obliterator.

    My son had £60 to spend the other day, and he chose the Bug Obliterator when the Lego store manager (who's a friend of ours) recommended it to him.

    My son chose it over the VV because the VV is quite small apparently.

    This does sound like an interesting idea, but how would this affect The Lego Group? They would have to put some sort of piracy law into place, a bit like illegal film and media distribution laws. Or maybe these printers are limited only to big companies like Lego?

    I'm kind of relieved that nothing really interest me this year except maybe the coast guard stuff and the Friends cruiser, I need to catch up on some old sets I missed out on over the years.

    According to our Lego store manager friend, June 1st for the UK, probably the same for the US.

    My wife talked to the Westfield Lego store manager on the phone on Monday about Mr Gold while we were making a purchase. He said that he couldn't find one for my son because they're so scarce, however he said he could feel out any other minifigure for us. He did the same thing for us in Series 8, so my son chose the Skydiver and the Roman Commander. I'll probably just make a Mr Gold for my son, can't be too difficult.
