Here are pics of most of the sets! http://www.flickr.co...68247/lightbox/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/61839591@N08/8431768421/lightbox/

For those who want to view the image but are having trouble with the riddle, just run your cursor over the map until you get to a clickable point.

New toy fair info (no pics) here.

I've now seen them at both Target and Walmart (in Missouri). Happy hunting!

Actually, it says guaranteed shipping to those who order by midnight on the 18th...but we'll see. Yesterday, they had moved the Turtles from the 17th to the 24th, and now it's back to the 19th. I'd check it daily and hope they manage to get them to people by Christmas.

I agree that a modular series release isn't that feasible. I do, however, wonder if we might eventually (this year or in the future) see a Castle line that more heavily features action features, such as with the Ninjago and Legend of Chima lines. While there have always been some action features in Castle sets, play has not been heavily featured like some of Lego's newer lines. That might appeal to both those long-term Castle enthusiasts and kids who like a lot of features to their Legos. This line of thinking also might go with the comment from higher up about a classic Lego line done in a new direction. Just a thought. Sadly, everything we think is conjecture until pics or official details are released.

Yep, as I said in the post, I think the original source just used old photos as a promo. As Mr. Elijah Timms pointed out, it's just a group shot from the 2007 Castle sets. Most do think that the 5-digit list with the Dragon Mountain and King's Castle is accurate at least.

Yep, even without pictures, I'd just love some more facts...is this 100% happening like sites are suggesting...is this the assortment that is being passed from site to site...

Good point! Maybe the Stealth Cycle is $15 and the Shredder cycle is $20? I can live with that. :-)

It will be less than 60. The Shellraiser is the biggest set, and it's MSRP is supposed to be $60. I would guess it's going to be close to the following: Kraang Lab Escape--$10 to $12 Stealth Shell in Pursuit--$20 Shredder's Dragon Pursuit--$25 Baxter's Robot Rampage--$30 Turtle Lair Attack--$40 or $50 Shellraiser Street Chase--$60 And Jackattack7--just saw your post!

indeed, as someone else said, he is in the show. In fact, the action figure of him just came out.

Agreed. I love my 80s cartoon and toys, but this cartoon pays a lot of respect to previous versions.

For those wondering why the Krang minifig looks the way he does instead of like the 80s version... The 80s cartoon was based off Eastman and Laird's original comic. In the comic, aliens called Utroms had robotic bodies and brains in their stomachs, and they were the original creators of the mutagen. For the wonderful 80s cartoon, they decided to just have one guy with a brain in his stomach, which was Krang. The 2003 series reintroduced the Utroms, and then one of the series key villains ended up being an Utrom. Now the 2012 series also has the Utroms, but they decided to call them the Kraang. Anyway, these guys are part of Turtles history, even if it's not the Krang character we grew up with in the 80s/90s.

There's a new cartoon that just debuted, and apparently the ratings were through the roof. It was actually quite entertaining.

All the minifig images can be found here.

Fantastic! It looks like you're trying to find certain characters in the Hobbit houses. I like the rune detail on the door tiles.

Just a guess, but I could very easily see Mr. Freeze, Cold Weather Batman, and Aquaman coming in a set. I could see them pairing Aquaman with Batman to make sure there was enough support for getting poor Aquaman.

The set I've always wanted is one linked to the Shire. Bag End is perfect. I, too, am guessing that it's about $60. It has one more minifig than Weathertop but no horses, and the set size looks fairly comparable at this point.It's going to be a Hobbit-y Christmas!

The translation = businessman, so I'm guessing suit and tie guy myself.

One of the translations = female vampire I believe, so I'm kind of wondering if "female vampire" is really the evil faerie chick. She does kind of sound vampire-ish (and looks so from Toth's sketches). Only time will tell...

This would be my favorite set of all time.

Some people were lucky enough to order them in stock from walmart.com. My Wal-mart ones arrived at my house on Saturday (although they are put away for my birthday).

Interesting...and if the Spider-man set is on hold until August, is that the ONLY Lego Superhero set coming out in August, or could there be more? (Of course, it's the only set with minifig pics showing up on the back of the Lego comics, etc.) Hmmm... Now I even wonder whether this is a Lego exclusive like we all previously believed, or if it's just shipping separately.
