The Canadian Sears website has the first image of the LEGO Lord of the Rings The Black Gate (79007) and also has details on the set and is listed it in stock for $74.99. The image posted has the “Confidential” stamp so we won’t post it here. The set has 655 pieces and the minifigures included are Aragorn, Gandalf the White, Mouth of Sauron, and 2 Mordor Orcs.
Fly the Great Eagle high above the Black Gate of Mordor where Aragorn and Gandalf the White must distract the Eye of Sauron. Use them to stage a scene while Frodo Baggins and his friend Sam throw the One Ring into the fiery depths of Mount Doom and destroy it forever. To reach the Ring’s final destination, you must defeat the Mouth of Sauron and the Mordor Orcs positioned high in the spiked gate walls. Then breach the gate and lead the attack on the enemy! Includes a Great Eagle and 5 minifigures with weapons: Aragorn, Gandalf the White, Mouth of Sauron and 2 Mordor Orcs.

Tonight, the new LEGO Legends of Chima TV series premiered on the Cartoon Network. The show is broken up to two 30 minute shows. Here is a recap of the first episode of the series and my initial impressions after. Do not read if you do not want to be spoiled.
The series begins with Eris being captured by the Crocodile, Wolf, and Raven tribes as they’re moving towards the Lion tribe’s city.
The show continues with Laval looking for his harness for his “Age of Becoming” ceremony. He arrives at the Chi pool and sees his father, Lagravis, waiting for him to start the ceremony. Just as Laval gets his Chi orb, the castle suddenly gets attacked and Laval drops the orb. A disguised Cragger rushes in and steals Laval’s Chi as well as a few of the Chi from the pool and speeds off on his Speedorz bike and Laval gives chase. When they get to the jungle, Laval catches up and is about to strike him down but realizes it was Cragger.

Laval and Cragger practice on their sword skills and finds one of the members from the Bear tribe. After that, Laval and Cragger reveal they were best friends and Cragger wants to try … Continue
The LEGO Legends of Chima is set to premiere tonight on the Cartoon Network at 7:30/6:30c. We finally get to see what the show is like after seeing all the set were reviewed in the initial wave by YourCreativeFriends. Now that we know Chima will not be replacing the Ninjago theme, will it be as successful as it’s predecessor or will it be a flop? Initial impressions from what I’ve seen in LEGO Stores and news from across the web is that it’s doing pretty good but still has work to do to catch up to the level of success that Ninjago was at. Maybe after kids see the show and see how cool it is, they will be inclined to pick up a couple of the sets. Tune in tonight to see the one-hour preview of the Legends of Chima.
In the latest of the LEGO Legends of Chima sets, YourCreativeFriends has reviewed Eris’ Eagle Interceptor. The set contains 348 pieces and retails for $34.99, a $0.10/piece ratio. The box contains one instruction booklet and has three minifigures: Eris, Razar, and Rizzo. Take a look at the video below for more details of the set and it’s play features.
