There are a duo more secret models , but we will show those to you at a later particular date .
First , survey the success of the previous serial , there are more newminifigssold in freestanding packaging . I ’m not a lover of the minifigs with facial expression — I still prefer the iconic honest-to-goodness school ace , with smiley case — but some of these are peachy .

There are some new collections that look a bit retro too — like the Aliens Conquest , which has spectre of the oldgrey - and - profane Lego Spacefrom the 70s .

Their Indiana Jones sets have been replaced by a generic Egyptian adventure theme — which lactate , because there are no Nazis to demolish — but there ’s a lot of model from Harry Potter , Pirates of the Caribbean and , of course , Star Wars . Their reduced Millennium Falcon would be a just pick for those who could n’t corrupt thehuge 8,000 - piece Millennium Falcon . Talkinghuge sets , there are no announcements about these yet , but something tells me that we will see them soon .

Here you have all the framework announced atToy Fair2011 .
Star Wars
The Lego Star Wars 2011 catalog is too heavy on the bloody prequels . Except the Falcon — which include all the heroes and Darth Vader for $ 140 — there ’s only an hump Ewoks set cry The Endor Battle Pack ( $ 30 ) , with a tree diagram , an Imperial Scout and two goddamn furry dwarfs .
The rest is all Sith Infilwhatevers , a Republic Frigate with some goof , and even a set full of Jars Jars , manifestly designed to give to really stinking tiddler as a penalization .
The assfog is strong in this one but at least there ’s material to create anything you want .
Kingdoms
Lego Kingdoms — formerly Lego Castle — is a small mo scarce this year . The best lot is probably the Mill Village Raid — at $ 70 , the most expensive of the series — and the King ’s Carriage Ambush ( $ 50 ) . But no striking rook of any sort , which is deplorable .
Pharoah’s Quest
These set seem to replace the old Indy models , without Dr. Jones kick Nazi ’s fucking — which sucks . Their are more Egypt meet Stargate satisfy Zombieland than Indy , but the $ 100 Scorpion Pyramid — admit a gargantuan badass Scorpio the Scorpion — seems like a lot of fun .
Technic
The Technic sets keep shrinking — I miss the giant manakin , even while they were so expensive . The Rescue Helicopter ( $ 40 ) looks great , as does the Backhoe Loader ( $ 60 ) and the Bucket Truck ( $ 50 ) , but my favourite is the $ 20 Off - Roader .
Atlantis
I would have loved Lego if they scrapped their Atlantis line of reasoning and instead announced the Lego Cousteau line . With the Calypso , and submersed scenery and bases and helicopters and bathysphere . That or Lego Zissou .
Ninjago
Ninjas !
Do I really ask to say more ?
NINJAS !
NINJAS ! NINJAS ! NINJAS!STEVE JOBS ! NINJAS ! NINJAS WITH DRAGONS ! NINJA daemon depend upon HARLEY DAVIDSONS ! NINJA BULLDOZERS ! DEMONIACAL FORTRESSES !

OK , I shall tranquillise down now . Lego seems to be obsessed with ninjas this year , and they will be selling a barrage of sets under the Ninjago flag , which includes a serial publication of three games call Spinners , in which you battle different case using calling card over the ( optional ) $ 50 Spinjitzu Dojo .
The sets are pretty overnice themselves , like the $ 120 Fire Temple — which includes a Draco — and the $ 60 Skeleton Monster Truck . Because , as you know , infernal demons used to drive monster truck in fifteenth Century Japan .
Bricks and More
These are my favourite Lego sets this year . brick and more . They sense like classic Lego , with pure brick and basic colors . It ’s a nice fracture from the complexity or elaborated pieces of the rest period of their lines at lower prices .
Creator
If you are not familiar with the Creator line , it ’s slap-up to search your own imaginativeness . This class there are a few mini example — like the cute $ 6 Mini Digger and Mini Plans — and other bigger solidification , like my favorite : The $ 40 Cool Cruiser and , the better of them all , the $ 40 Lighthouse Island — which can be easily integrated in Lego City .
City
The figure one seller in the history of Lego total loaded with model . That let in a renew rendering of one of the perennial classic : The Police Station , which arrive with 783 pieces for $ 100 . In fact , this class is heavy on police sets , let in the $ 40 law Boat , the $ 50 Mobile Police Unit and even a $ 13 Police Dog Unit . My other pet are their new ocean spell , like the $ 90 Harbor , the $ 40 PowerBoat Transporter , or the lowly $ 5 Speed gravy holder .
For some rationality , they include some blank space stuff and nonsense this class , although it ’s not as prominent as their previousNASA - related movement . Still , their $ 70 Space Center looks like a skillful one to get .

Alien Conquest
While the Lego Alien Conquest 2011 have a 50 UFO flavor and some bite of the older Lego Space line of work , I ca n’t help but to look down at them . The grounds may be thatthe 70s Lego Space is embedded in my DNA , but the bighearted cause is the design . Things like their $ 20 Tripod Invader , $ 60 Alien Mothership and $ 90 Earth Defense are sorcerous , but they ca n’t contend with the unbelievable bracing design of the classical Space line , which is current still today .

Pirates of the Caribbean
The same encounter with plagiarist of the Caribbean . They are not as good as the Hellenic Pirates . They are not speculative at all , mind you . The Queen Anne ’s Revenge—1,097 pieces for $ 120 — is quite skilful , as is the $ 80 Whitecap Bay and the $ 100 Black Pearl , but they are a a franchise . It ’s like aTaco Bell burrito : The “ burly ” substance is just not really beef .

Racers
I wish the Racers could actually be radiocontrolled around the house because I care the idea of RC cars destroying each other just to build them again . The unexampled models are all good , at $ 6 each . There would be bigger , licensed ones when Cars 2 comes out .
Hero Factory
rent me tell you one thing : This ai n’t no ninjas ! What the hell is this charge plate dirt ? It ’s not even Lego . I mean , it is Lego and you may combine the musical composition with “ normal ” Lego pieces ( to outstanding outcome , in hands of expert builder ) but these are just ugly . I guess the kids today like it and they are only $ 8 a piece , but these should be banned from this dimension .
Duplo
This year I buy my two niece Lego for the first time — they better get used to it . They were three huge Duplo set — the biggest available — and a couple other little ones . Just get them made me happy , because they bring the memories of me and my siblings being small crawlers progress absurd stuff with these huge colored cylinder block . If you have little kids or have salivate relatives of any age , these new models will be good for them . I care My First Supermarket ( $ 20 ) , My First Zoo ( $ 25 ) and My First Fire Station ( $ 30 ) , but you may also initiate them in the acid of Pooh with Winnie ’s House ( $ 30 ) , which reckon quite nice .
