The early part of the year is the traditional time for various toy fairs. Although the target audience is retailers who want to see the upcoming product lines and hot toys for the year, it is also exciting for LEGO fans. Toy fairs are usually the first time to get a glimpse of new LEGO sets scheduled to be released during the year. This week we had the London Toy fair, with the German Toy Fair coming up soon.
The London Toy Fair had a strict policy against taking pictures, however LEGO fans were allowed to look around and take notes. Below I will list the upcoming LEGO sets based on the notes of Brickset’s owner Huw, who lives in the UK and had a chance to go to the London Toy Fair personally. So let’s dive right in so we can discuss! 😀

There are also new sets in LEGO Super Heroes, but the set names and minifigs are not yet revealed, only the set numbers. We already talked about the new LEGO Mindstorms set which will be released later this year (See: A New Generation of LEGO Mindstorms!). Also, there are going to be three new games (Chima, Batman and a family-game). Series 10 and 11 of the Collectible Minifigures will be released as well, and also a six DUPLO sets based on the Jake and the Neverland Pirates and the Planes TV series by Disney and Pixar. And for LEGO Hero Factory fans there will be seven new sets.
And that concludes the 2013 LEGO sets scheduled for release later this year. I’m excited about the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets, LEGO Galaxy Squad, the LEGO Lone Ranger sets, and of course the Collectible Minifigures. I’m still not sure about the new LEGO Castle line. I really have to see some good pictures to decide if I like them. Same with the LEGO Star Wars sets. And since LEGO is pushing it so much, I’m sure I will pick up a LEGO Legends of Chima set here and there to make LEGO happy. 😛
