So far this year, there have been several very hot new Lego sets releases.  From the Lego Exclusives product line comes the 10219 Maersk Train set.  This highly detailed and realistic model building set contains a whopping 1,234 pieces, including 3 mini figure workmen! You can even motorize the finished 36 inch long train by adding the optional motor and battery pack.

The most recent of the new Lego sets was the introduction of the 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van model, again from the Lego Exclusives product line.  Launched in the middle of August, this model contains 1,322 pieces – including the whimsical touch of a miniature t-shirt emblazoned with “Make LEGO Models, Not War”.

Also announced earlier this year are the full ranges of new Lego sets based on the Disney movie, Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as the earlier films series. Lego has had pirate themed building sets before. However this is their first licensed pirate line up. New Lego sets in this line so far have included Blackbeard the Pirate's Ship and the Lighthouse in Whitecap Bay –(the  two favourite scenes in the movie). More films including Star Wars, Toy Story, Indiana Jones and SpongeBob Squarepants have been turned into Lego sets. There’s something for every child.

Attention! The rescue of Sensei Wu must take place now and help is needed. The nunchucks of lightning have fallen into the wrong hands so it is time to gather forces and right this atrocious wrong.

The Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle from LEGO Systems, Inc will let kids of all ages restore order to the ninja world. Action must be taken immediately to avert this disaster. The nunchucks of lightning were made from the Golden Weapons and were ferociously watched over by the dragon that guarded them before they were forcibly taken by Frakjaw, the Red Skeleton of Fire.

With the introduction of the Skeleton Army and the presence of vehicles, the system has been updated and moved into a more modern time period than that of the Shogun and bandits we’re all familiar with.

The Ninjago characters have names suited to their personalities and intricately created facial features to depict each one. Your figure is either a Hero or part of the Skeleton Army. A side must be chosen to play on; good or evil there is no middle ground.

In the Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle from LEGO Systems, Inc, your skills are urgently needed to bring freedom. Fight now alongside Jay, the Ninja of Blue Lightning and the terrible Lightning Dragon to bring Sensei Wu back where he belongs. There are mighty weapons at play here and they’re not for the use of those who don’t have the knowledge to understand the power.

The fate of the Golden Weapon is at stake and if it’s brought to the Underworld all hope will be lost. But watch out! The enemy is as crafty as they are strong and it won’t be an easy fight. The flick missiles on the helicopters are designed to fight back rapidly. Frakjaw, the Red Skeleton of Fire doesn’t attempt to hide his evil intentions and he won’t fight fair in the battle so prepare yourself ahead of time to remain focused and fight like the ninja that you are!

Included in The Ninjago Lightning Dragon Battle from LEGO Systems, Inc set is the helicopter – with spinning rotors powered by a turn crank - and its pilot. A total of four mini figures come with the set including Sensei Wu, Frakjaw and Kruncha so if they can’t pick a side they can take it in turns! The weapons included are a silver mace, the golden blade, two golden spears, a couple of large spears, and the lightning nunchucks. Technically, the Dragon is not only a character but a weapon as well with his ability to toss out lightning balls with his mouth.

This fun-packed set is sure to keep your child amused for hours, playing alone or with friends, and fuel their imaginations for hours!
