2012 LEGO sets: LEGO DINO pictures!

Are you impatiently and curiously waiting to see what 2012 will bring in the world of LEGO? In this series of posts I give you a glimpse of some of the upcoming 2012 LEGO sets.

You might first want to check out 2012 LEGO Sets – See What’s Coming! That post will give you an overall picture of the 2012 LEGO sets. From there you can link to the particular themes you are interested in.

In this post I will list all of the sets in the LEGO DINO theme, a resurrection of the LEGO Dino Attack line from a few years back where LEGO minifigs in rugged vehicles were fighting off lizard-like creatures in psychedelic colors. 🙄

That is one thing LEGO definitely improved in the new LEGO DINO sets; the realism of the Jurassic creatures themselves. There are also more sets in LEGO DINO – including a quite large one – and the vehicles have also been improved. (Although I’m not sure I like the bright-yellow; I thought the tan-maroon color-scheme in LEGO Dino Attack was nicer. But that’s just my opinion.)  

So, let’s look at the 2012 LEGO DINO sets. Please note that the quoted prices are estimates based on the pre-order sale prices that were listed (and later taken down) from the Barnes & Noble website. (Read: Barnes & Noble Pre-Order Sale). Also, you can click on any of the pictures for a larger view. 

#5882 LEGO DINO Ambush Attack – estimated price: $10

#5883 LEGO DINO Tower Takedown – estimated price: $20

#5884 LEGO DINO Raptor Chase – estimated price: $30

#5885 LEGO DINO Triceratops Trapper – estimated price: $50

#5886 LEGO DINO T-Rex Hunter – estimated price: $70

#5887 LEGO DINO Defense HQ – estimated price: $100

#5888 LEGO DINO Pteranodon Chase – estimated price: ???

So what do you think about the 2012 LEGO DINO line? Yay or nay? 🙂

2012 LEGO sets: LEGO NINJAGO pictures!

Are you impatiently and curiously waiting to see what 2012 will bring in the world of LEGO? In this series of posts I give you a glimpse of some of the upcoming 2012 LEGO sets.

You might first want to check out 2012 LEGO Sets – See What’s Coming! That post will give you an overall picture of the 2012 LEGO sets. From there you can link to the particular themes you are interested in.

In this post I will list all of the sets in the LEGO NINJAGO theme. Please note that I have written about the 2012 LEGO NINJAGO line in detail before, however I was asked by LEGO to take down the pictures. This time the images don’t have a confidentiality stamp, so they should be able to stay up. You can see my original post here: 2012 LEGO sets: LEGO NINJAGO

There is an overall new angle on the 2012 LEGO NINJAGO sets; the badguys are not skeletons, but snake-people. There are some amazing new minifig headgear, armor pieces, accessories and really cool lime-green cobras. One other nice piece is a 1×2 brick with brick-like façade. City and castle builders will love this!

So, let’s look at the 2012 LEGO NINJAGO sets. Please note that the quoted prices are estimates based on the pre-order sale prices that were listed (and later taken down) from the Barnes & Noble website. (Read: Barnes & Noble Pre-Order Sale).
