A reliable source, very reliable even, confirms to me that LEGO will indeed offer TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) licensed products with an official launch date announced for January 2013.

No details on the content of this range for the moment, but we can think that LEGO will be based on the animated series whose launch takes place on September 29 on the American channel Nickelodeon (see the press release).
We can therefore take for granted the appearance of the TMNT license at LEGO for next year. Hopefully, the New York Comic Con, which will be held from October 11th to 14th, 2012, will bring us more information about this new range ...

Small clarification: The image above does not represent the range in question, it is a DIY assembly by yours truly ... I say that in case you find this image elsewhere and it is sold to you as a visual official... 

TMNT for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, obviously.

The current rumor concerns the possibility of a TMNT theme at LEGO. It all starts with a guy (you know the guy who knows a guy who knows ...) on LUGSing (LEGO User Group Singapore) who got the info from a LEGO store employee about the upcoming release (?) of TMNT keyring. 

Several sites are already extrapolating the future release of a range based on the adventures of pizza-eating turtles.

To be credited with this rumor, the fact that a film produced by Michael Bay is scheduled for May 2014 (and not at the end of 2013 as we have read here and there, and this because of budget and scenario problems a bit weak to rewrite), and that the American children's channel Nickelodeon is launching a new animated series on September 29 (see the press release). Note that LEGO has already worked with Nickelodeon in the past on the SpongeBob SquarePants theme (square ...).

But all this is only a rumor relayed by several blogs (Brickultra, Smashing Bricks, Groove Bricks, etc ...) without any real basis and impossible to verify. To be continued, therefore, without getting carried away ...

It's certain Steine ​​Imperium that the contents of the 2013 reseller catalog have finally filtered. Here is the list of sets (with the new 5-digit numbering that LEGO now seems to want to use for all ranges) of the Star Wars range expected for early 2013:

LEGO wants you to dream, guess, envision, hope ...

It is with this visual present on the back of the LEGO Club magazine from September-December 2012 (proposed by The Brick Life) that LEGO seems to announce the birth of something. But what ?

A new theme? Polar Xpress on the arctic exploration theme? Speedorz with futuristic racing gear? A new board game? who knows .... I'll leave you racking your brains and in the meantime I'm going back to work.

The Star Wars panel held during Celebration VI will not have revealed much, but the last slide presented confirms the list of sets for early 2013 that JediNews gave us a few days ago.

A Visual Dictionary with an exclusive new minifigure is planned for 2014, and a new video game based on the LEGO Star Wars license is currently under development.

No image of the new sets was revealed during this panel.
