The time is finally here! The LEGO Group has released the press release for the LEGO Minecraft (21102) set. The set contains 480 pieces and retails for $34.99. It looks better than what I expected and you’re also giving to charity so it’s a win-win for everyone. Below is the official press release.
The LEGO Group has released details of the LEGO Town Hall Modular Building. It will have 2766 pieces and have a retail price of $199.99. More details after the break.

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.
