News: More Summer 2007 Set Pictures

And for those of our readers living in a cave or spider-hole, or perhaps held incommunicado against your will, to Nate’s list of summer 2007 Castle box art, I’m compelled to add City, Exo-Force, Batman, Star Wars, etc. (All via Eurobricks, where you can see new pics from Creator and Technic as well.)

My favorites…

From Star Wars, 7661 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Ring (Kit Fisto!!!):

From Batman, 7786 some sort of Batcopter with Scarecrow’s biplane:

From City, 7998 dump truck:

From Exo-Force, a very large mecha:

Drum roll… The new space theme, Mars Mission[!] (Apply the exclamation point at your own discretion.) I like the drop-ship thingy:

I’ll definitely get this drop-ship, but I’ll withhold judgement on Mars Mission as a whole until we can see better pictures of the minifigs.

Gryphon Rider by Rayhawk

Mike Rayhawk has created yet another incredible piece of art based on Lego elements:

Mike is an exceptional artist, who has done amazing concept work for Lego, as well as being the Lead Illustrator for the Knights Kingdom Lego theme. Mike has also done freelance work for various organizations, including the Jim Henson company.
Personally, I am a big fan of his art and am very excited about this latest piece. Way to go, Mike, you are awesome!

(There is also an alternate version in red and gold.)
