I think you may be interpreting this backwards. Cars and Dino are going to remain available at retail, but there will be no more sets released (so far). PotC, Alien Conquest and Harry Potter are going to be phased out at retail, starting in July, and go OOP.

At the London Toy Fair today, the "LEGO Ninjago Dragon" (aka the Epic Dragon Battle) was named one of the 32 "Best New Toys" for 2012. Expecting more details later today...

The Fellowship look great!
And seeing what a great job they have done with Gimli, I can't wait to see all the different dwarves from the Hobbit sets.

Cole
Kai
Jay
Zane
These are the ones, though you can also get Jay's hair from the "Mutt" minifig in the Indiana Jones sets. The "sleepyhead" minifig looks to be the best current match for Kai - thanks for the suggestion!
-
Since it is looking like the 2012 line won't include the ninjas with their hairpieces (as in the cartoon), I've started to figure out which ones I can get from other minifigs. I've got them all except Kai - apparently his hair does not exist yet. Does anyone have a good substitute they could recommend?
-
Also, since the update to the Characters page on the Ninjago website, I couldn't help but notice how many minifigures there are this year. 2011 had 20 different minifigures, not counting skeleton warriors who lacked armor or who had no or alternate headgear. 2012 has at least 33 new minifigures, not counting ZX ninja who lack shoulder armor.
I'm all for more unique minifigs in the sets. With the 2011 sets, I ended up with 4 of original Jay.
Keeping all the names straight for the 17 characters in the snake tribes will be fun though.

The early 2012 sets are up in the US store with a January 30th availability.
-
Helm's Deep is just a little cheaper than the Millennium Falcon on that AUS site. Going by that, I would expect it to retail at $130 to $135USD.
-
My guesstimates, based on price comparisons with existing sets:
9447 Lasha's Bite Cycle $20USD
9448 Samurai Mech $50USD
9449 Ultra Sonic Raider $70USD
9450 Epic Dragon Battle $120USD

FYI... the Fangpyre Wrecking Ball and the MDP1 are now available in the LEGO store.
-
All spinners this time, with some spoilers if you didn't get spoiled from the last reveals. Looks like there will be an "NRG" variant for the ninjas now.
-
Hey! No spoilers!
Looks like Lloyd will indeed join the ninjas and get a growth spurt.
Why not? Summer waves tend to be small for Action themes. Case in point: Atlantis.
It sounds like additional Ninjago (and Star Wars) sets are going to be revealed tomorrow.

Just imagine a 2012 LOTR/Hobbit Advent Calendar... oh my.

XmasToys (the guy who was uploaded 3 of the Ninjago episodes on Youtube) is apparently releasing the rest of the episodes slowly one by one to generate "buzz"
XmasToys is being coy about things (like the Green Ninja) because he doesn't know. In Canada a few weeks ago, they ran the first 5 episodes of the new season, but only on an SD channel (hence his 4x3 dubs). The dude is breaking each episode into halves, so potentially he can milk this for 10 "episodes".
