LEGO 2012 - Another Golden Year for City?
2007 was one of the best years for City. Then there were a few goodies in 08, 09, and 10. 11 - not so much even though I like the fishing line. But this coming year, my friends, is a must for any fan.

The Hi-Res pics are out now. This also means that the details of each set are available for one to marvel, since it is so clear now. Cut out the Fire and the Ranger Police and Trucks lines are the best you'll ever see. While I prefer to skip sets like the offroad carrier and ambulance, I say that a devoted fan MUST AND MUST get the garbage truck, recycle truck, and caravan! Needless to say I just built a similar model (in macro-scale for Sawgrass), the caravan is a sleek beauty.
In the police line they are bringing out a new roll of bricks, nougat brick bricks! They are like a brick wall except in 1x2 form. Not only would I be able to build brick structures (I prefer plates for it though) but I feel now that I can do the Florida bridges with all of the reinforced earth walls since many have a brick pattern. Maybe put a railfan fig on the girder taping the train beneath.
Meanwhile, for what seems like a continuation of 2010 and a new liberty to city, they can now appeal to older kids with the new inclusions of dark red, dark blue, and dark brown elements. I approve.
In other news, the Star Wars line is a big fat meh. Nothing exciting so far.

My Idea on CUUSOO
Hope you guys like this one; an American intermodal playset. Playability is a sure target of this big boy.

LEGO CUUSOO
http://lego.cuusoo.com/
LEGO CUUSOO is a Japan-originated but globally expanded program allowing a democracy to choose the next sets LEGO produces. Currently in open beta, it is a wonderful internet tool and an opportunity to monetize the hobby, if your idea is effective enough of course. I personally like it and am submitting a few ideas. Let's see what punch my ideas have. :)
Gather 10k supporters and you have yourself a set and 1% royalty. Make a 150 USD set and that would be 1.50 per sale. Reminds me of Google Adsense, because it's very similar. Google gets the click money when you get a percentage of the conversion as royalty for publishing the ad.

Deadline Extended
The store won't be opening for another two weeks... Wonder where the fortunate news comes from? My coverage?
I am quite happy of this delay. 23 models really can't be capped in a matter of hours. Today would've been delivery day but I'm shooting for the 15th or 16th, maybe the 18th if I have to.
