Favorite part is Kramer walking through the door... you just gotta love Kramer! Excellent work, monsinjor! Like Aanchir said, you really captured the likeliness of the Seinfeld apartment well!

I'm gonna be stocking up on them, then!!!!

Since there's gonna be a Revolutionary Era Soldier in this series (and from the parts, it looks to be an American Patriot), does this leave a bridge of opportunity for a world history sort of theme?

I read in a LEGO blog (don't remember the name, but its one that's referenced here a lot, and can be deemed legitimate) that their sources are confirming Castle as the theme returning next summer. If this is true, then But, why reboot Castle if TLG already ended Kingdoms AND will be having LOTR/Hobbit running at the same time?? Although it looks like the returning theme is Castle, I still keep hope for Pirates!

I would love a Saturday Night Live theme, and if LEGO considered it, they could easily make the theme for 14+, and make the sets based on the more appropriate sketches, if you know what I mean! :P They could do sets based on What up with That?, Manuel Ortiz Show, and some other classic sketches! Knowing that probably will never happen, but hey, this is a dream LEGO license topic after all! :)

Okay, so this is my first stab at the MOC/vignette sort of thing. I took a hiatus from LEGO building for almost a year now, but now have started up again, especially since I just bought my dream set, the Eldorado Fortress. In the spirit of things, I made this! Please remember, I am not so good with MOCs, I am more of the build-the-kit sort of guy, and my camera skills are HORRIBLE, but I think I did fairly well for my first time, but this is not half as good as some of my fellow Pirates friends MOCs here on Eurobricks! The whole premise can be determined by the title of the MOC. Sometimes, ignorance is not always bliss! Here is the Youtube link to see it!

I agree with many that the aliens are not well represented, when compared to how they look in official movie footage. It might sound weird for me to say, but I don't think the aliens should be in minifigure form, but something like the Hulk figure or even smaller! However, I love the Cap'n American figure, and the shield is a great part! I would really LOVE to get that set! GO CAPTAIN AMERICA!

PSN: CODGamer62J Currently playing: Call of Duty: Black Ops Time zone: Eastern Standard Time (US) Games I currently have: Black Ops Games I plan to get: MW3 (Modern Warfare 3), Sonic Generations, and much more!

Yeah, I kinda figured that. You know, I think its just best to stop the rumors until another, and stronger, piece of info comes out. Just posting that response to see if anyone could figure out anything from it that I didn't already. We shall see of the pirates will return!

Observing how many of the toy-themed movies have been lately, I wouldn't expect a tearjerker with this LEGO movie, nor a classic either. I don't wanna judge it before its even in production, but honestly, things just don't seem like they use to be. (Does that make me sound old? )

In my honest opinion, I think the next action theme is going to be Ancient Greece or Rome, with a modern twist (which seems to be a trend with these newer action themes.) I can already imagine the TV commericals...

Since I was very curious about this whole Pirates 2012 rumor, I decided to e-mail LEGO Direct. They responded today, and I have a rep's answer below (Just so you know, I inquired about if this 2000 piece Flying Dutchmann is real, and if any new POTC or regular Pirates sets are on their way): Dear ---------, Thanks for your interest in our products.

Anyone gonna be playing Black Ops on PSN this coming December? I'm gonna have my PSN user set up probably by then, and am wondering if anyone will be on during that time as well!

HA! I would love to go around to my friends, and say, "I own 5 of those huge, expensive modular LEGO buildings!" When they seemed shockingly surprised, I'll tell them, "Yeah, they were only 80 bucks! Perk is they're mini, and you have to be a VIP member!" That aside, I think this set will be a hit, and gives LEGO fans a good reason to sign up to the whole rewards program!

I have to agree with you, lightningtiger. I don't think the two have any connection to each other, sadly. I remember when LEGO first started the collectible minifigure line, they said they would be exclusive on their own, and multiple times it was said that they had no interaction or would not hint about any upcoming sets. Although it would be awesome for a System zoo, and I see it being done easily because of the zookeeper torso being produced, I think the main focus of next year is the Forest Police, Forest Fire, Vehicles, and the gold mining summer theme.

I am getting a PS3 for X-Mas, and have a Panasonic E-Series Color Television (SDTV, similar to picture above), 27'', made in 2003. There is a good chance a 1080p 24'' HDTV will be coming my way by Christmastime, but I can't guarantee that. My question is, does anyone have the same SDTV I mentioned above, if a PS3 looks pretty good on that sort of SDTV (or any SDTV), and how a PS3 would look on an 24 inch HDTV. I have heard many opinions from video game bloggers around the world, and really want to see what Eurobrickers have to say on the issue!

Wow, despite its size, it still captures the adventures of the classic Johnny Thunder! I would definetly love to see more of the Adventurers figures in this style! It represents what they're known for, and shows their classic style!

Wow, I never knew that. I just thought that LEGO made a mistake on the production line and produced a red Vader helmet!

For a minute there, I thought LEGO was doing a "Two and a Half Men" series next year! That is one of the most identical MOCs to the actual comparison photo I have ever seen! Bravo!

I think saying the largest mad dash to the LEGO aisle of any store that would carry these sets by Christmas is an under-statement. PROBABLY EVERY PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD would freak out if TLG decided to let these sets slip in by Christmas!

Ghost Soldiers: The Forgotten Epic Story of World War II's Most Dramatic Mission By Hampton Sides Really good so far!

Do agree. The Batman sets I can see being the real thing from kermit's list, but Superman, I don't think we would see THAT MANY! You still have to consider sets with Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and the others, plus in May, with Marvel characters! Anyway, was the scannings of the LEGO 2012 retail catalog of the whole thing? Kinda surprised that they didn't show the actual System sets for the Super Heroes theme, but the Hero Factory, action figure type ones were!

I agree! I think we would of had some preliminary pics or set names or SOMETHING like that if it were true! Although a new 'Pirates' line would be SUPER, we probably would have heard about it by now! It could always be a summer 2012 line, but, I'm not buying it until I see OFFICIAL proof!
