New Lego Sets 2012

2012 is a brilliant year for Ninjago. The theme has been kept fresh with the introduction of a new enemy - the five ancient snake tribes of Ninjago. There were new sets out at the beginning of 2012 and lots of new sets being released throughout the year. 

The Lego Star Wars theme is as strong as ever with lots of new sets being released in 2012. Notable new releases include the first Lego Star Wars board game, The Battle of Hoth. And a Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar for 2012 (read the article below to find out who Santa is this year!)

The Lego Friends range has been introduced in 2012, specifically aimed at girls. It's hugely popular and seems to be introducing lots of girls to Lego building. 

The Lego Lord of the Rings range is set for a summer 2012 release. This looks like an amazing range. It ties in with Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies so the sets will be influenced by the film sets. We're getting Lego hobbits, Gandalf, Orcs and lots more. 

We're also getting a Lego Hobbit range to tie in with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first Peter Jackson Hobbit movie which is coming out in December 2012. We'll surely see Bilbo Baggins, lots of dwarves and Gandalf and Gollum. Very exciting for a Tolkien fan like me.

Lego Monster Fighters is another new Lego theme for 2012. It features classic movie monsters versus Monster Fighter adventurer-type minifigures. You'll see Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, ghosts and mummies and more. 

Lego Superheroes is a new theme based on licensing deals with both Marvel and DC Comics. So we're getting new Batman Lego, The Avengers, Wolverine, Captain America and more. Lots of fun to be had here. 

I'm Mom to two boys who absolutely love Lego. They have plenty of other toys, but the Lego gets played with far more than anything else. They're young at the moment so we've got lots of years of Lego ahead of us and we're loving it!

I didn't have much Lego as a child, so I'm enjoying it now! And so is my partner, he loves making Lego models with our boys. 

There's so much amazing Lego coming out in 2012 that one of our main problems is going to be where to put it all. We need some serious Lego storage!
