Yeah, there's three control console sets, and three racers with spring-launch cores (probably the same as in the Need for Speed sets). Red Ranger in some form at every class. The only female is Yellow Ranger with her ape zord ($15 set). Decker is in one of the racers and in a two-vehicle set.

I saw the Batman/Catwoman and Superman/Wonder Woman/Lex Luther DC sets at TRU. I was thinking about the Batman set, but it was $18. It was Batman, Catwoman (a rather ridiculous looking Catwoman), a motorcycle, and a traffic light, I just couldn't bring myself to pay $18 for that.
They also had some baggie Ninjago booster packs: Llyod Garmadon, the black ninja in what looked like training gear, and the blue ninja with a bit more armor incorporated into his ninja garb. Each came with a bunch of weapons. I was hoping for some individually packaged snake men, but alas... This post has been edited by NightViper: Dec 10 2011, 10:26 PM -------------------- |

I saw a $5 Ninja-Go set with one of the upgraded ninjas and a little snake shrine today at Walmart, but no snakemen in it.

Not yet. I did see the PRSamurai Megazord at Walmart today, though. $30.

Seen forest and Dino and Snakejago everywhere for two weeks at least in CT.
Saw my first DC Superheroes in TRU today, sadly it was just the Joker-Bionicle set. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-waspy.gif) I really really want to find the Superman set for my Niece for Xmas but I don't know how good my odds are. -ZacWilliam, gonna maybe cruise around a bit tomarrow and see if anyone else has heroes in -------------------- Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?

Lego... FOR GIRLS! Saw this and felt the need to share.
Now, the basic nature of the toy does not preclude the ability for girls to use them. In fact, my brothers girlfriend is a bigger lego maniac than I am. I am all for the use of slightly curvier lego molds to indicate women: I am AGAINST the mostly stereotypical portrayal of women in the lego brand. I would be perfectly happy to have the curvier toys with the standard stampings and colours on them to indicate the fact that is a woman lego-man. I have seen plenty of women construction workers, dock workers, airline pilots, fishermen et al. I would love if they did the entire figures line in double with the women mold. Just to help fill out the ranks. -------------------- |

 Ah, what the heck. What is in a name? Group: Citizen Posts: 5,833 Joined: 27-November 03 From: Sweden, Gävle Member No.: 3,970 Faction: Autobot |
I could see the next Ninja-Go line use this size of minifigure to motivate more customers to buy the spinner single packs. They have already started introducing oversized swords and similar so its not out of posibility.

So, think they'll make One Ring replicas as pack-ins, with a pair of studs on the top so you can attach minifigs to it? One Ring to act as a stand for them all, and in the plastic bin bind them?
BTW, anyone else opening the Star Wars Lego Advent Calendar one day at a time? So far it's pretty cool, and Target has them on sale for $5 off right now if you want to catch up. ---Dave --------------------
