Here but I've chosen to go a bit silent for a while as I currently have LEGO breathing down my neck... No they're not being threatful or anything but they really-really-really want to know where I got my information from. And besides I have allready revealed most of what I know. And I also expect the contents of the retailer catalogue to start leaking any week now as from what I understand it should have startet turning up at stores now. (We haven't gotten ours at work yet)

I'm not totaly convinced that those are for the snakemen of Ninjago. I've seen final artwork for the Spinjitzu cards and there the snakemen have regular legs. So Im pretty sure that, at least, the spinner snakemen will have normal legs.

It resembles the polar bear however it can also move it's legs. As far as I know there won't be anything else in first wave than forest Police, forest fire and those five vehicle sets. The firemen are orange with dark red helmets.

The problem is that last time Lego did a hospital theme it didn't sell. I remember seeing hospital sets on shelves long after the theme was discontinued. So if this new Ambulance sells well I believe we have a chance at a new hospital theme around 2014-2015. As I believe I read somewhere that the design of a set takes about two years from idea to store shelves.

People are going to hate this but besides "great vehicles" we are getting... *drum roll*... Fire and Police... Yes we're getting cops and firemen *again*. The twist here is that they're Forrest Fire and Forrest Police. The policefigs look like park rangers and wears tan hats that looks like this. Sets are: 4436 Patrol Car A police car, a police fig, a bandit and a road boom/barrier or whatever it's called 4437 Police Pursuit A dark red 4WD with a bandit and a policeman on an ATV. 4439 Heavy Lift Helicopter A blue dual rotor helicopter with 2 pilots a policeman and a police ATV that fits in the back of the helicopter. Thankfully it does not use that dreaded nose piece that were used on the recent helicopters and the City Space Shuttle. 4440 Police Station A police station that doesn't look anything like the recent two police stations. Amongst other things it includes a brown bear. 4441 Police Dog Van Includes a police dog van, two dogs, one forrest police, one bandit, a black and dark red sports car, a small gold mine cave. 4442 Crooks Hideout Includes a small cabin, A police "jeep", a 3 wheel police "crosser", 2 forrest police, 2 bandits and a black and dark red roadster(I think) 4205 Off Road Command Centre Includes an Off Road Command centre car (Much smaller than the city equvalent), a boat trailer with a dinghy, 2 forrest policemen and 1 bandit on a raft (2x4 treasure chest). 4427 Fire ATV Includes an ATV, 1 fireman with smoke-helmet-equipment and a chainsaw. 4208 4x4 Fire Truck Includes a 4x4 firetruck, one fireman with smoke-helmet and a burning tree. 4209 Fire Plane Includes a fire jeep with a trailer with equipment, a fireplane that can be loaded with waterbricks that can be used to waterbomb a forrest fire, two pilots, one fireman and two burning trees. 4430 Fire Transporter A truck with a command centre 3 firemen and an amphibious-looking 8 wheeled firetruck.

No, It says it's with new decoration. I think the prelim pic shows a standard "stormie" It's printed and it has four studs on top

Unfortunatly I do believe they're made from new molds. I think it looks like the planets are just two pieeces a top and an underside.

I can confirm that that is the list of sets that I have plus two (The Special Edition sets weren't included in that list). The new concept is called "Build the Galaxy" and consists of a planet, a display stand with a mini and a pilot minifig. The planet also comes with a "hanger" so you can it from the roof or whatever. I estimate that the planets are about 8-10 studs in diameter. 9490 Droid Escape is R2-D2 & C-3PO's escape from Tantive IV crashing on Tatooine. It includes R2-D2, C-3PO, 2 Sand Troopers, the escape pod and a swoop bike. 9491 Geonosian Canon is just what it says. Included minifigures are commander Gree (named "Cree" in the material I was given), a Geonosian Warrior, a Geonosian Zombie and a CW edition of Bariss Offee. No I wasn't counting the boardgame. Missing from that list is the Special Edition sets. one being 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor. The other set is number 9495. and since All the other ones are out I might just as well give away this one too. So here goes: 9495 Y-Wing Gold Leader. Included Minifigures are: Dutch Vander, R5-F7 and Ceremonial Princess Leia.

Sure, it looks like it could be a small plattform(4x6 studs) from Mustafar. It's a Special Edition set and they tend to be a bit overpriced... He used it to fly to Mustafar at the end of EP3.

Nah, those look like 3rd party made things to me. In the pictures I've seen the snakemem have normal legs. And I don't think that'll change before release as they do need to fit in a spinner.

Yes, you are quite correct. The EP3 set is 9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor. Besides a dark green Jedi Interceptor it includes: a brickbuildt Mustafar droid, a small platform, Anakin Skywalker with new "evil eyes" alt. face, Obi Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, a new Nute Gunray and a Security Battle Droid

A truck, A garbage truck, a 4x4 with a Motorcycle trailer and a car with a camper.

Lord Garmadon is now fighting on the Ninja side. He is replaced as the main villain by his son Lloyd Garmadon and his army of snake men. They battle over the contol of five snake staffs that hold mystical powers. The ninjas and Sensei Wu has left the dojo and now uses a flying boat as their main HQ. As I said the sets are for the most parts vehicles: motorcyckles, planes, tanks, helicopters. There's even a crane with a wrecking ball(!). New molds that I've spotted is a Sai blade, another blade that looks newish but could come from Hero Factory or similar, a snake staff/cobra, another snake staff, a brick tha has a molded brick wall texture and 1x1 round tiles. The Spinjitzu game gets an overhaul and gets a little bit more advanced. * A new spinner will be introduced that lets you attach things with technic pins underneath. * There's also a thing called crowns and cards that can you play to put the crown on or force the opponent to remove it. There's also cards that seems to only be playable while there a crown on the spinner. * There are new cards that requires a certain sp in all four elements to be played. * There are cards where you challange the opponent on a due in spinning skills and if you win you get to reclaim a lost weapon. * There will apperantly be booster packs... And finally yes, there's talk of a green ninja. He's not in the first wave but amongst other things he's on the packaging (Yes, the boxes will be green instead of red). However it's apparantly not a *new* ninja as it seems like one of the four current ones will evolve into the green ninja.

The new version looks sleeker than the previous one and has a built in fold/unfold function. And it is white.

Yes I have come by a substaintial amount (Oh maybe not that much. But anyhow...) of intel on upcoming releases. And I am sharing! Just not all at once. Yes, I am an attention w...re!

I haven't been leaking info on Star Wars as I haven't had anything to leak before. And the source is the same that provided the Brandenburger Tor info. So it is reliable. The reason I don't want to prove my case (read: leak pictures) is that I made a promise not to and I don't want to kill the information flow I have right now... And now something more meaty: Set 9493 is a new X-Wing. Comes with markings for both Red Five and Red Six. Included figs are Jek, R5-D8, Luke Skywalker & R2-D2.

I'm afraid a lot of people will be disapointed in the next wave of Ninjago as it is heavily vehicle based. Even the ninjas get vehicles...

The EP3 set is a $40 special edition set and unfortunatly no it doesn't include any clones. The only clone in the second CW set is a Comander Cree.

There will be an ambulance in the jan city wave as part of a "great vehicles" subtheme. That can be taken as a sign both that there will be more hospital sets in the second wave as well as that there won't be...

Actually I don't think so. Becasue the set in which the fig would make most sense in comes already in the first wave.

None of the above in 1st half year I'm afraid. However speaking of Yavin IV I do predict that we'll see a couple of Yavin IV award ceremony MOC:s in 2012...

There's nothing in the strategy that suggests that there will be less expensive sets. The strategy is to use the cheap sets to get more kids into buying Lego Star Wars and by that getting more buyers of the more expensive sets. Well, the point with the sets ain't really the fig. On the other hand I can't really se people wanting more than one each of these sets. But then they'll most likely be turning up everywhere. Even in places/stores where you don't normally find Lego Star Wars. Again the strategy is that instead of one buying many they want many buying one each. In the end getting more people buying the more expensive sets. Nah, it's more fun to just drop little bits here and there and watch the speculation take off... Ummm I was right about 21010 brandenburger Tor wasn't I?

Yeah I guess the tie fighter could be any of the OT episodes but the other four are clearly Episode IV sets. And yep besides the Endor battle pack and the new collectible thing they're all remakes.

Just realized that 5 out of the 6 OT sets in jan is actually episode IV sets... are they celebrating a 35 year anniversery of episode IV?
