Intro

Toy Fair is nearly upon us, and soon I'll be driving up to New Jersey with McSmeag and meeting up with ToM Dracone and LehvakLah. But I hear it's Friday, and that means a weekly update.

Updates

Check out these video interviews with the Hero Factory set designers. These are some of the same people that designed Bionicle sets, and their insight is really interesting.

McSmeag finally reviewed Surge 2.0. Only a few more first half 2011 sets to review, and I hear one should be around shortly, although it may get delayed by Toy Fair coverage.

Continuing on the Hero Factory track, the twelfth Hero Factory podcast was released. It looks like they're winding the series down - it was fun while it lasted!

Bionicle's not dead yet though - go read the new chapter of Yesterday Quest. There's never a dull moment in the Bionicle universe, it would seem.

So I may have mentioned Toy Fair once or twice. Go read the press release that Julie Stern was kind enough to provide. Is it Sunday yet?
