The Brick Show has uploaded a video preview of LEGO Superheroes Wolverine’s Chopper Showdown at the 2012 New York Toy Fair. The minifigures included are Wolverine, Magneto, and Deadpool. At the $19.99 MSRP, this set will definitely fly off the shelves in May.
Thanks to The Brick Show for uploading the video.
The LEGO Group and Lucasfilm Ltd. has officially renewed the license to make more LEGO Star Wars for 10 more years (at least). This is absolutely fantastic news for AFOL’s such as me to collect more LEGO Star Wars sets but bad for my wallet! Below is the official press release from the companies.

I finally get my hands on the new 2012 LEGO Star Wars sets. The first to be reviewed is the Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack. This set was released in January/February 2012. It contains 98 pieces and retails for $12.99 which comes out to a fairly high $0.13/piece. This along with the Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack (9489) are the first sets to feature two minifigures from different factions instead of four minifigs from the same faction like in previous battle packs.
Below is a preview for Jabba’s Palace (9516) at the 2012 German Toy Fair. There are 9 minifigures included in the set: Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna, Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in a Boushh outfit, Chewbacca and a B’omarr Monk.
On October 1, 2010, LEGO reintroduced the Harry Potter series releasing six sets with Hogwarts Castle being the largest set. It contains 1290 pieces and retails for $129.99, a nice $0.10/piece which is amazing considering it is a licensed set. There are previous versions of the castle although I will not be comparing them as I do not own any of them. The set will feature four buildings and eleven minifigures and a lot of small details that make the set a must own.
