It looks like it's going to be one of those mornings...in a good way.
Eurobricks member Klaus-Dieter claims to have had a peek at the 2011 retailer catalogue. No pictures have been shared, so I'm couching these as rumors for now.
First up are early details on Series 3 and 4 of Collectible Minifigures. It would seem that Series 3 will debut in January 2011 and may include the following:
- Fisherman
- Ferrari driver
- Mummy
- Sumo Wrestler
- Female Dancer
- Samurai
- Hawaiian Girl
- Baseball Player
- Fantasy Elf
- Native American Chief
- Alien
- Male Singer
- Doctor/Surgeon
- Gorilla
- Snowboarder
The sixteenth figure was not seen. A Series 4 release date is set for April 2011, but no details on its contents.
There may be a new theme that mixes collectible trading cards and minifigures called NinjaGO. The details were sparse other than 'it has ninja minifigs' and 'it's not a historical theme'. TLG recently announced a collectible trading card game in conjunction with LEGO Universe, so this doesn't seem too far fetched.
Although I typically overlook City themes, it would appear the classic Space theme hinted at during Steve Witt's presentation at BrickFair will be a City subtheme. Much of the set descriptions sounded more like Earth-based command centers like NASA, instead of being set in space itself. There were also details about a new Police subtheme (how much crime actually happens in LEGO City?).
There were some additional details on 2011 Star Wars and Atlantis but they lacked a lot of information.
Also on Eurobricks member Omnicron had a more detailed review with pics of the BrickForge booth from BrickFair. There are more pics of the new 2010 product, as well as details around new production colors. The biggest news item was the The Forge and customizer Shmails will be combining forces to offer custom figs! There may even be a new website/store forthcoming to sell them. There's an entire set of pictures you can view of these new, limited-edition figs here.
More to come later today citizens...
