Since we missed out on coverage over the weekend, I decided to do a double-dose of Toy Fair pictures today. You said you wanted some Friends, so we delivered. To round things out, I also took a look at the board games that are in store. Read on to check out what LEGO is doing in 2012 for these lines.

These new colors look very nice - heck, the entire line looks splendid. I think LEGO did a great job with the design of these sets, and now we can only hope for them to sell well.

I want a LEGO hedgehog.

Okay, the Hobbit game is news to me. That sounds like it'll be the coolest. Shame they didn't have the Hoth game out.

Lots of nifty Friends sets too. Might pick up a few more of the cheaper ones for the colors, ext.

Thanks for sharing more picts Andrew.

The Hobbit game looks intriguing...

Although Creationary is an older board game, I am still interested in purchasing it one day.

Man Friends is cool I don't care what anyone says. I just wish the figs were the same height as a Minifig.

Say what you want about Friends, but you could real value if you buy them. For only $20 you can get a decent set (or two!). What will $20 get in you in LotR or Star Wars sets? Not much.

Friends sets look cool, but I won't be buying them. The games also look pretty neat.

Friends is looking btter and better for me. Oh, what splendid pieces! I may pick up a small set sometime.

Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown.

Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy..... I got the first post on a page for the first time. Who knows; it may happen again. What the... It did happen again... and again...

YEAH! I'M ENCOUNTERING PROTODERMIS!

The Friends sets, as always, look great. However, why are the pictures sorted by price/size, as opposed to release date (Summer/Winter)? And on a related note: are there going to be more Summer Friends sets than the ones pictured? Because there are way fewer sets there that haven't come out than have: I only counted 5 Friends sets (plus the advent calendar) that haven't been released yet.
