Every year, around late summer, Lego comes out with amazing, NEW cool sets that make awesome models, are tons of fun and are great for ages 2 (Duplo) to 100 (not that I know of a 100 year old who plays with Lego, but you never know!)

OK Lego maniacs, it is a VERY special time for you!

If you are a true blue Lego maniac (you know who you are; entire shelving units devoted to Lego creations, broken vacuums from Lego pieces, a Lego metropolis pitting brave knights against space invaders monitored by an ever-vigilant city police squad....), then you know that Lego always releases a whole line of new sets in the late summer every year. Now what you may not know is that a select few retailers get EARLY access to some of these new sets... and this year Mastermind Toys is one of them!

So we are very excited to announce that we have brand new Lego sets, about 30 in total, arriving RIGHT NOW to our stores and to MastermindToys.com!

Here's a rundown of the new sets!

Power Miners, Atlantis and Space Police Sets
These themes are all getting brand new sets, all of which are very cool. The highlight for me is the Lunar Limo Space Police Set... it's like a bad guy's big black car... IN SPACE. Awesome.




New Kingdoms Knights Theme
Castles! Good knights! Black knights! Horses! Catapults! Some of you Lego maniacs have probably been ITCHING for a return to classic Lego knights sets... itch no more!!




New World Racers Theme
You're going to love this... this is a brand new theme from Lego that pits all sorts of crazy racing/battling contraptions against one another for wild world-wide races! Each set comes with two different vehicles filled with crazy characters that race one another. Boats, cars, motor-bikes and more race accross desert, snow, swamps... you name it! A very cool new line.


New Lego Airport Theme
The Lego Airport has arrived! Planes, tanker trucks and more... awesome awesome awesome!






And new Duplo and Creator Sets
The selection is rounded-out with some classic new additions to these themes, including a giant crocodile Creator set!



So check out all of these cool new sets in-store and online, and remeber that Mastermind Toys has them first!!

Lego always releases a few new sets just before its big launch of its 2010 line. We have 12 new Lego sets in stock for your Lego lovers and I would be remiss if I didn't highlight the brand new line of Lego characters based on one of my all-time favourite movies (adult or child) from TOY STORY! Ahead of the much anticipated Toy Story 3, and with Lego's new deal with Disney, two Toy Story Lego sets have just been released. Without further ado, below is a brief description of what's currently available online and in our stores:

Woody and Buzz to the Rescue is a 91 piece set which includes Woody and Buzz mini figures, a car with a "pull-back" motor to make it go, with the rocket that attaches to Buzz's back. What could be more fun?

Construct-a-Buzz contains 201 pieces as well as the three-eyed alien figure. Construct Buzz to help him defeat his enemy, Zurg. His visor opens and shuts, and his arm is loaded with "flick missile laser cannons."

For the Star Wars buffs in your life, Lego has introduced the Rebel Trooper Army Pack and the Snow Trooper Army Pack ($14.95 Cdn each) each complete with collectable mini figurines and a vehicle to assemble.

Ben 10 Alien Characters Ben transforms into each of the these characters. Based on the TV series Ben 10 Alien seen on Cartoon Network in the US and Teletoon in Canada. All characters come with glow in the dark eyes and are recommended for ages 5 and up. Available characters are Swampfire, Chromastone, Jet Ray and Big Chill ($19.95 Cdn each).

Lego has introduce a new line based on the Lost City of Atlantis. Scary tentacled sea monsters (Squidpeople and Mantapeople) guard the gold key that opens the gates to the lost city! For some interactive fun, Lego has set up an underwater search online where you can read about what the explorer Artimus Rhodes experienced in his quest to find the lost city -- if you can find his diary! Current available sets include Monster Crab Clash (68 pieces, $9.95 Cdn), Wreck Raider (64 pieces, $12.95 Cdn), and the Gateway of the Squid (353 pieces, $54.95 Cdn). Each set comes with a collectable key.

There are two new Space Police sets available. The Smash N Grab (188 pieces, $26.95) -- where the evil and greedy Squidtron uses his ultimate ram-raid vehicle with the heavy lifting crane and two flick fire missiles to keep the Space Police at bay while he steals an Asteroid ATM, and the new Raid VPR (69 pieces, $12.95) -- a super fast space plane built for the Space Police that can catch up and fire on anything Squidtron or other evil aliens throw in their way!

Deep in the centre of earth, where the magma and lava flow freely, the Power Miners are at work. Magma Mech (183 pieces, $26.95) has a titanium scissor claw arm that can catch lava monsters. The Fire Blaster (67 pieces, $12.95), jumps over streams of molten lava, and comes equipped with a dynamite launcher for getting rid of any obstructions in the vehicle's path.
