January 2012

Toys N Bricks and other LEGO sites have pointed out that Barnes and Noble have already listed their January 2012 LEGO offerings. None of these have pictures or details yet, but let the rampant speculation begin:
Superheroes theme:
* LEGO 4526 Batman $14.99
* LEGO 4527 Joker $14.99
* LEGO 4528 Green Lantern $14.99
* LEGO 6858 DC 1 $11.99
* LEGO 6860 DC 2 $69.99
* LEGO 6862 DC 3 $19.99
* LEGO 6863 DC 4 $29.99
* LEGO 6864 DC 5 $49.99
Of course, one interpretation of the LEGO Super Heroes Challenge rules is that the winners of this monthly contest will get a complete line of the DC sets in advance of January. I corresponded with a LEGO rep involved in that challenge and she said that "shortly" the winners for August would be posted on their site. That was two weeks ago and I've been checking back daily. Given that most of the best MOCs I've seen in the galleries are by AFOLs connected to the community, I'm sure that as soon as whoever wins knows more, the rest of us will know soon thereafter.
