Love the unicorn horse armor, and the new helmet design… everything else, sadly, I feel that I could take or leave without caring. Because it looks an AWFUL lot like a bunch of previous designs. :/

Don’t shoot me, but I think Mega Bloks did a better job with the Cars license. If I base it on these pictures, the LEGO versions are very chubby and the Mega versions are closer to the actual look of the movie.
Of course my two boys love Cars, so we’ll end up with these as well. :D

Might be too early to tell. And the Megabloks stuff looks closer, itb doesn’t stay together at the best of times. It really is shoddy stuff.

@Brickwares
I agree. We have all the Cars Mega sets and the cars themselves seem to be constructed well. The buildings and blocks? Not so much. The Mack truck is neat but does not stay together well during play.

Is that a small set with a Mon Calamari?
Shoot me too, because me and my kids liked the Megabloks Cars, maybe better than what I see here. They were step up in quality from typical Megabloks.

I couldn’t figure out what the Mon Cal was doing there, but was excited until I realized it’s probably supposed to be a General Grievous fig.

@Jai: don’t loose that excitement for the Mon Cal figure yet… Although I am not a Clone Wars viewer, I do believe the Mon Cal is actually a Jedi knight (Nahdar Vebb) who will also be included in the set along with General Grevious.

Spoiler alert: Vebb is a young Jedi who’s foolishness get him killed in the first season! He was a very silly fish. ;-)

Am I going slowly insane, or did he say we are getting new Harry Potter sets?
February 10th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
Yeah we are getting 6 new Harry Potter sets in…. the fall? Whenever the game comes out.

Hooray! (This “hooray” is not because of the Harry Potter discussion)

I can’t see who could hate Harry Potter, but apparently it went out because it was bad
