It may serve as a consolation for the unexplicably late release date of the Hero Factory 2014 sets in the US that the Ninjago 2014 sets have become available online on LEGO.com in the US and Canada today. You may want to grab these to fill the gap the Hero Factory sets have left behind under your Christmas tree. Although not reaching quite the quality and especially quantitiy of earlier years, there are quite some interesting designs among the sets once again and Ninjago definitely seems to keep going strong, so check it out and see what you can get!

Today we take a look at the combiner of sets 44015 Evo Walker and 44018 Furno Jet Machine in another set review. We don't normally review combiners, but LEGO has asked us to, and they were really nice about it, so we acquiesced. Are these two sets even better when they're together? Read and watch on to find out!View the full article

The sets aren't available yet, but if you want to check out the instruction for next year's Hero Factory combiner sets, BZPower has you covered.

Up next in our look at the 2014 Hero Factory sets we have 44018 Furno Jet Machine, kindly provided by LEGO.

Today's the day you've all been waiting for, whether you knew it or not. Today we begin reviewing the 2014 Hero Factory sets.

BZPower member Oryx noticed that the <a href='http://ninjago.lego.com'>Ninjago website</a> was updated a few days ago. Now featuring a new design, new bios, new videos and more, it gives us some closer looks at the new story coming next year. Apparently the Overlord returns as the Digital Overlord, Sensei Wu once tried to braid his beard but found it ridiculous, Cole's favourite colour is orange, P.I.X.A.L. awakes new emotions in Zane and Nya x Cole may become a thing? If that doesn't encourage you to check out the new content, then I fear the Nindroids have hacked you.View the full article

That's right folks, another match made on the internet. Lego and Adventure Time! The project should come up for review this Winter, and it will be interesting to see how it fairs. I really wanted to use the headline "What time is it?" but as both the official Lego comments and the project creator already did I had to resist the urge.View the full article

You know those nerds who can speak Klingon and probably translate the linguistic roots of names in Star Trek? Did you ever wish you could be like them? Of course not! Me neither! But just in case you were looking for a complete dictionary of Bionicle names, locations, and their meanings (whether to learn to speak it or to translate your own name) fellow reporter Tolkien has revised his Matoran dictionary and I for one have been having a field day translating member names making fun of the nerds actually using it.

Gaming site Polygon <a href='http://www.polygon.com/2013/11/22/5133238/report-lego-the-hobbit-coming-next-year-for-all-major-platforms' target='offsite'>has a story</a> revealing that a LEGO game based on The Hobbit movies is in the works. Apparently the 2014 LEGO Hobbit sets have an ad on the back hinting at such a game. My guess is that it would likely be timed to coincide with the third movie. With as fun as the LEGO Lord of the Rings game was, I'm sure this will be a blast too!View the full article

Which characters they'll be was not revealed, but it's certainly an interesting development all the same. Personally, I want to know how LEGO was able to get Disney and Warner Bros. to agree to it!View the full article
