10219 Maersk Train

A Brickset user has communicated a list (probably not exhaustive) obtained from a source considered reliable of the products whose production stops this year and which you will have to obtain quickly if you do not want to pay a high price in six months...

10219 Maersk Train (98.99 € on amazon.it)
10217 Diagon Alley190.00 € on amazon.fr)
8043 Motorized Excavator129.99 € on amazon.it)
10193 Medieval Market Village (88.89 € on amazon.fr)
10216 Winter Village Bakery49.90 € on amazon.fr)

Among the sets whose maintenance in the LEGO catalog has been confirmed:

10188 Death Star (322.00 € on amazon.it)
10197 Fire Brigade124.90 € on amazon.it)

Apparently none of the sets in the so-called range Structure will only be stopped this year. This list is obviously not complete, other sets may go by the wayside this year such as for example the 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle207.99 € on amazon.it).

Lego lone ranger

The information comes to us fromEurobricks or a member announces the release of a Western range based on the film Lone Ranger which is scheduled for release in France in August 2013. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter are in the cast of this film produced by Walt Disney Pictures.

If we are to believe the information posted by this apparently very well-informed forumer (He has already communicated several information on other ranges which have proved to be correct), the release of the licensed sets of this range is scheduled for April 2013 with 6 sets, including 1 large, 3 medium and 2 smaller.

We will have to wait a little longer to have confirmation of the existence of this range, but Western fans must no doubt already be delighted to find some cowboys mounted on the new horses ...

LEGO Rumors 2013

We continue with some rumors (see all current rumors) regarding the new themes for 2013 with some information from the Brickset forum:

- Lego tmnt : 6 sets are on the program, including a titled "Baxter's Revenge" well endowed with minifigs. The 4 turtles will be entitled to their keychain version.

- Lego legends of chima : The characters will have animal heads (cats, lions, alligators, eagles, dogs) but with classic minifig bodies. This theme will replace the Ninjago range. Small vehicles will replace the tops, they are matched to their owner.

- Lego galaxy : The bad guys will be bugs equipped with matching vehicles. The person talking about it evokes a crossover between Alien Conquest and Space Police to define the look of this range.

- Lego modulars : The person giving this information evokes a cinema that could be a complement to the existing Modulars sets.

- Lego ninjago : Last wave with the Gold Ninja and the Golden Dragon. Lord Garmadon evolves into Garmatron and has a new headgear.

LEGO Rumors 2013

Small compilation of the weekend rumors gleaned from various forums (EB, Brickset, etc.), you can do what you want with it, it's a gift, it makes me happy:

- Lego tmnt : My source had told the truth, an Australian who works in a toy store had a visit from his LEGO salesperson and confirms on Brickset that this theme will come out well and that it is indeed based on the animated series which will be broadcast at the end of the month on Nickelodeon.

- LEGO City (Undercover?) : This same guy saw preliminary images of a set which could represent a robbery in a museum, with maybe a helicopter.

- Lego legends of chima : It will be a priori a theme with animals with a humanoid appearance (!) Brought to replace the Ninjago range. No more spinning tops, make way for a sort of flying propeller (Speedorz?) And Hero Factory type characters.

- Lego super heroes : Iron Man 3 and Man of Steel sets are on the program. The TDKR set with Batman at the controls of The Bat chasing Bane in his Tumbler is well confirmed once again.

- Lego galaxy : It seems that LEGO is going back to basics with a space theme. The person giving the info would have seen (or thought they saw) a "Galaxy Quest" style title for this range.

LEGO SuperHeroes 2013

I scrape the bottom of the drawer and the rumor of the day comes from Brickipedia, and the word rumor therefore takes on its full meaning ...

While we already know four of the LEGO Super Heroes sets from the first wave 2013, an anonymous contributor who knows a guy who works at LEGO (?!) Announces the existence of two more sets:

An Arkham Asylum set (with the minifigs that we discovered at San Diego Comic Con : Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, etc ...) and a set with The Penguin with his mini submarine and Robin, possible remake of the 7885 Robin's Scuba Jet: Attack of The Penguin set released in 2008.

If I tell you about it here, it's first because it's very calm at the moment but it's mainly because these two sets are plausible, if we stick to the list of minifigs seen during SDCC 2012.

For the rest, the four sets already announced are as follows:

- Tumbler + The Bat (TDKR) with Batman, Gordon and Bane
- Batboat with Batman, Freeze and Aquaman
- Spider-Man with a vehicle, Venom and Nick Fury
- Spider-Man with J. Jonah Jameson, Doctor Doom and Ultimate Beetle, and a plane
