Thanks to

BIONICLEsector01, HEROsector01 and our colourful Eurobricks Toyfair correspondent Aanchir, Eurobricks is proud to present to you a series of in-depth articles covering the 2012 LEGO sets on show at the New York Toy Fair! Read on for informative product descriptions and high quality photos, beginning with full coverage of the Hero Factory theme!

About a week ago Eurobricks, Brickset and several other LEGO fan sites started supporting a Modular Western Town on CUUSOO. This helped a lot as more than 2000 votes were added, now reaching a bit more than 4000 in total. The Minecraft community managed to gather behind one MOC and push it to the required 10,000 in a short time and I'm sure that we, the real LEGO fans

, can do the same. If you didn't yet VOTE please do so now.

But maybe more important is sharing this MOC via your Facebook/Twitter pages and encouraging your friends to help out. You can do this by clicking (->next you get the option to share on Facebook) and right under the vote counter. I had a look at the projects that are doing really well (and those reaching 10,000 votes) to find out they had massive support via Facebook and/or Twitter so that seems to be an important factor.

The creator of the MOC (Marshall_Banana) has added a poll in our forums where you can vote for your favorite building. The building that comes first out of the poll will be recommended to LEGO to be produced first - we're thinking big and hope the success of the first one will convince LEGO to release them all over time.

LEGO did a press release for the 10224 Town Hall.

Find all info and pictures of this highly anticipated set here in our Town Forum.

MAWLR Fields

Alienwar9 has once again made an awesome digital MOC in LDD. His latest creation is called MAWLR Fields. See more pictures and comment over here

Some time ago marshal_banana won our Spaghetti Western competition with a stunning (modular) Western Town.

He's now doing pretty well on CUUSOO, so let's help him make the 10.000 votes for this MOC to be considered by LEGO for production. Who wouldn't a new Western Theme that comes with a Western Town where each house can be bought as an individual set?

Wanna help out and remind LEGO how much we want Western to return? Go here on CUUSOO to cast your vote!

EDIT: And now Brickset is teaming up with Eurobricks to see if we can get this to LEGO Review status at Cuusoo by achieving 10000 supporters. If the Minecraft community can do it for their chosen model, so can the online LEGO community! VOTE NOW!!!

EDIT2: There's Gambort joining our little experiment on The Brothers Brick

EDIT3: More sites in the LEGO community are supporting: Toys N Bricks, Classic-Town and Railbricks.

EDIT4: Our very own Classic-Pirates and Star Wars Blog both jumped on the train!

Sometimes contests at Eurobricks are not just about building the most incredible MOC, especially of the LEGO Train variety. This past weekend, EB LEGO Train fans participated in a different type of contest based on photography. In a fun and entertaining topic called Maersk Madness, LEGO Maersk owners had the opportunity to photograph their official LEGO Maersk Train and share their image in a "most unique and interesting" photograph contest. As always, the quality of the entries were superb and after EB members cast their votes for best LEGO Train image, the winners were awarded an exclusive LEGO Maersk blue EB Train Tech tag.

Congratulations to EB's LEGO Maersk Train photograph winners!

First Place: Woolie (Night Shot)

Second Place: Vlai23 (Mad Tea Party)

Third Place: Wondermonkey (Beach Scene)
