When LEGO started building its websites for next year, they didn't consider me and my masterful skills of educated URL guessing. This picture is already on the servers of LEGO.com and will be a thumbnail on the LEGO.com Products section linking to BIONICLE.com when it returns. At this point I think we can state without a doubt that BIONICLE is indeed returning next year. What does that golden mask represent, though? Let the speculation begin! Of course, I'll keep you updated if I happen to find more images like this. View the full article

There's a huge demand in the LEGO community for pieces that the company just doesn't make. Look around the Internet (or go to a comprehensive listing like BrickMap) and you'll see a lot of places that offer products that are compatible with LEGO bricks, whether they be brand new pieces, custom-painted or decaled, or existing pieces molded in a new color. Some fans even turn to competitors such as Mega Bloks and KRE-O to get elements that are compatible with LEGO bricks but in new and different shapes. What if LEGO decided to put together an offering to allow its fans to create their own elements? I have reason to believe that they might be doing just that - read on to see why!

The models look pretty awesome and will go nicely with the 2012 set 10230 Mini Modulars! View the full article

Although it missed the deadline for the latest review period, another model has recently achieved ten thousand votes on LEGO Ideas. The Avengers Helicarrier is a really impressive microscale version of the massive ship from the 2012 Marvel movie, and YoSub Joo's creation is packed with a ton of detail. Personally, I think the likelihood of it turning into a set is slim because of its size, the age of the movie, and the fact that LEGO already has a license agreement with Marvel. But we'll just have to wait and see! View the full article

I feel like this already happened, but the big news today is that LEGO is the world's largest toy company, according to sites like CNN Money. In terms of revenue and profit, LEGO is clearly ahead of both Mattel and Hasbro after sales increased 11% in the first six months of the year compared to the same period last year. We already knew LEGO was the best toy company in the world, but now it's clearly the biggest too! View the full article
