In my attempts to keep up to date on all the Lego sets that are to exist I have got a bit behind with the odd promotional and exclusive sets. So here's a little catch up:
The big news, a couple of months ago, was that the first
Lego CUUSOO proposal in the international version of the platform got to the 10000 vote mark, and was oked by the Lego team. Coming some time this summer will be a Lego set based on the game
Minecraft:

| 21102 Minecraft Micro World |
There are a couple of Lego shop at home special sets on the way too. Here's a video with the designers of the big new R2-D2 set:
 |
| 10225 R2-D2 |
The other is their latest
aircraft sculpture; a new Sopwith Camel, a sequel of sorts to the previous
2001 edition.

| 10226 Sopwith Camel |
Also in the more specialist arena is the latest set in Lego's
Architecture range: Big Ben. This one should be out just in time to cash in on extra British tourism for the Olympics. I'd rather have the entire Palace of Westminster though; looks a bit odd just chopping off the end bit.

| 21013 Big Ben |
Also targeting tourists is a new airline promotional set, a neat little glider to add to your city airport. These are currently available from Virgin Atlantic and TUIfly.

| 4442 Glider |
Getting even more exclusive, there's a special
mini Statue of Liberty set available from the New York Lego store, and several newly opening Lego stores have had limited supplies of Lego Store Lego sets:
 |
| 3300003 Brand Retail Store |
Also exclusive to Lego stores, as well as Lego's online shop, will be two promotional minifigures with purchases of
Star Wars and
Super Heroes sets, during in promotional periods:
 |
| TC-14 |
 |
| Hulk |
Already out in the wild is a special Darth Maul minifigure, so far made available at the New York Toy Fair and Legoland Windsor:
 |
| Darth Maul |
At some point there is also to be a single figure release of the Ninjago minifigure Rattla. (I'm hoping this will be a release I can get hold of as it's a figure I really like for it's Stargate Jaffa looks, but comes in sets I'm not interested in)
 |
| 30088 Rattla |
Finishing off the minifigure releases, there has also been a pack of firefighters at bulk out your city team:
 |
| 853378 Firefighters |
Finally there have been a few seasonal releases for Easter and Valentine's Day, plus there's a tiny cake due at some point:
 |
| 40048 Birthday Cake |
