As expected, we will not have photos of the new LEGO items from this 2013 London Toy Fair. The stand has been completely covered this year (see photo above) to avoid shots taken from above, like this was the case last year.

For the rest, we must be satisfied with the very approximate information provided by the few blogs present on site:

Concerning the ranges Super Heroes et Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit you will find all the information available on Brick Heroes et Lord of the Brick.

About the range Star Wars, little info for now. the sets below are confirmed with the exclusive minifig of Santa Jango Fett in the Star Wars Advent Calendar 2013.

75015 - Corporate Alliance Tank Droid
75022 - Mandalorian Speeder
75016 - Homing Spider Droid
75017 - Duel on Geonosis
75018 - Jek 14's Stealth Starfighter
75019 - AT-TE
75020 - Jabba's Sail Barge
75021 - Republic Gunship
75023 - Advent Calendar 2013 (Exclusive Santa jango fett minifigure)

Edit: Correction of the information concerning the series 10 and 11 of minifigs to collect: A priori, only one "Golden Figure" will be included in each box and this from series 11. But it is still to be confirmed.

Legends of Chima : the wave continues, it is not a surprise, with sets by the kilo in 2013. The climax is reached with the set 70010 Lion Chi Temple (images available at this address).
No Ninjago in 2013, apart from the sets already released.

LEGO Creator 31004 Fierce Flyer

All fans of the LEGO Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit range are waiting to see if the manufacturer will offer us a molded eagle as the preliminary visual of the set suggests. 79007 The Black Gate put online by the Sears brand (see this article) or if the animal will be made from bricks like the one in the set LEGO Creator 31004 Fierce Flyer.

Either way, this Creator set is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to stage the eagles that respond to Gandalf's call to get Thorin and his companions out of a very bad situation in The Hobbit.

We also find these eagles during several events in the Lord of the Rings saga: Battle of the Black Gate, rescue of Frodo and Samwise after the destruction of the ring ...

In short, eagles are important animals in both sagas and in case of disappointment with the representation of the raptor in the set 79007, we can always turn to this LEGO Creator set of 166 pieces sold for less than 10 € at amazon...
