Here are a couple bullet points for my thoughts on the Lego news:

Hero Factory
The Jet Rocka set reminds me of Centurions (very cool) and the Pyrox set looks like a teenaged Balrog from LOTR.

Star Wars
Jabba's Sail Barge....holy $#%@! I'd love to have that, but it will probably cost an arm and a leg (and take up just about the same amount of space).

Correct. It's Gandalf the White in the Black Gates set. Saruman is the white wizard in the Wizard Duel set. It's fairly easy to see in our pics that they have different faces. The really cool part about the Wizard Duel set is that you use the parts from Saurman and Gandalf the Gray to build your own Gandalf the White.
