Considering how popular minifig blind bags are (especially MegaBloks' Marvel ones before Lego got the license), I could easily see it happen. Maybe Lego has decided that the Marvel/DC minifigs alone aren't enough to push the sales of the sets like they do with Star Wars (Kre-O has pretty much come to the same conclusion with Transformers). And because of that, Lego might be downsizing the line(s) to blind bags. Well, at least until the next Marvel and/or DC movie.

I understand why they are doing it. Think about it 49.99 or 3.99 and you could get a Hero or Villain from DC or Marvel.

Watch-out LEGO! Yet another high quality set is moving in on your market! and this set may cost CHEAP, but the blocks are very well made.

I plan to get them all...again and again. $3? how can you NOT get them all...several times...

falconhood: you must love dollar items. and lego need not worry since most people won't even be able to find those unless they go to a dollar store. even the terminator sets that were at tru didn't get touched much...imho

Looks like the kind of robots I used to build with my tub of Lego bricks. Of course, that was long before Lego decided to make almost everything be part of a set of some sort.

Well, I'm testing the waters of Bootlegos right now.
Most are good, but brands to avoid:
Best Lock and Power Advantage

I know this is a year or so late but that's really cool! There is a Banksy piece near to where I used to live so I'm really tempted to try and a decal version of that.

Awesome!

Wow would love to get my hands on that set. It's becoming hard to find sets that come with a good old fashion base. :)

^ that set is one of the few sets I regret not getting for my son when walmart had on clearance for $50. but no funds at the time stopped me completely and when I went back it was gone...:(

These bootlegs caught my eye. I bought the Hulk 2 pack a few weeks back and they're pretty awesome. No real complaints.

Someone posted how to build a Lego Double Couch using your own pieces.

While looking somewhere to start my Lego collection, I saw this idea by someone, a Honda CBR1000rr Fireblade Repsol version.

Hope this is made.

Star Destroyer Mech (MicroFighters can now FIGHT) This was just a quick mash-up. I built the Mixel just to say I did it, and then mixed it with the Star Destroyer

I love this set! I built it this morning. The gun reminds me of the gun at the top of the Kenner Death Star Station Playset from the 1970s. What I love more are the figures! The Helmets are spot-on cool! And I love these non-main characters

Does anybody know alternative to Lego? Their designs are perfect...it's out of the question. But unfortunately too expensive for me.

The bootleg/knockoff versions from china are great quality and very very inexpensive, search ebay for "building toys".

totally agree the bootleg versions are awesome cheap and have a wide variety! Some figures are never made here even!

Really cool and great stuff at LEGO for the kids i like them, but i also got a website which is amazon affiliated and have also cool stuff. Here is that website http://www.toyrange.com

Anyone else excited for the Ghostbusters Firehouse set? Pretty damn expensive but looks amazing.
