“I can’t wait to see what 2012 will bring!”
Well, thanks to the LEGO blogs, we know too much about what 2012 will bring.

Definitely Lord of the Rings but the second biggest story is the return of the Batman line as well as the DC Universe and Marvel Comics sets!
Those 2 comic book franchises are HUGE for Lego.
Don’t know how the ‘moonshiners’ is a big story. It’s just a couple of thugs/thieves figs with a cabin in the woods. Moonshiners…???? Nope.

This list is based on how much traffic each story generated. It’s not my personal list. ;-)

^Ahhh….I apologize. I thought it was like a BrothersBrick editor’s hot choice picks, etc.
Still though surprised the Super Heroe line didn’t get into the top 10 anyways.
