TWB confirming brand new web series on Youtube!

Exciting news for those who enjoy watching videos on the TWB's official Youtube channel!

• Christian's MEGA MOC Mania has been renewed for A THIRD SEASON, which will begin late this year. Season 2 is still being uploaded, with episode 5 coming next week. Episode 5 will feature an interview with a mother of 3, who is giving her insight on the connections between LEGO and education. Don't wanna miss that?
• A 50th Video Anniversary special will be created, and ideas are now being accepted for what it should be? Series episode? Review? Or just us talking about how great being with the TWB really is? YOU, yes, YOU, the LEGO fans, will decide on that!
• Bret the Sinking Minifig, the newest comedy series on the TWB, will run for two seasons, and I am not confirming wheter or not a third season would go. However, you can enjoy the 2nd episode of the series this week, in which Bret gets stuck in some "smelly" situations, when he gets a gig at a circus.
• Another new web series will be coming later this year, entitled "Alec and Chris Play Black Ops". It will be exactly what the titles says: Alec and Chris, the head-honchos of TWB playing and doing gameplay demos on Call of Duty Black Ops for the Wii and XBOX 360. It's going be full of humor, and naturally, full of gore! Look for this new series soon!

That's all the TWB Youtube info I can reveal to you now, but more is soon to come! And remember to check out the TWB's Youtube channel today!



New LEGO store in Westchester County, NY?



A listing on LEGO's job database shows a position for a part time seasonal merchandiser for the White Plains/Yonkers area of Westchester County, New York. Now, from the looks of this posting, it seems to be relating itself to a sole LEGO brand store, not just retailers in the area. This could mean a LEGO store is coming to Westchester County, or even a pop-up store for the holiday time. However, this could just be mere speculation, as it doesn't seem like anything LEGO-ey is happening in White Plains or even Yonkers, so far. TWB will keep updating if any more details are released, but from the looks of this job posting, maybe LEGO fan of Westchester's dreams will come true...

Possible LEGO themes for 2012!



After summing up all speculation from LEGO-related websites, these themes are probably what we can expect in 2012:

• LEGO City Hospital, Construction (confirmed YEARS back!)
• LEGO City TRU 2nd place fan choice?
• Continuation of Pharaoh's Quest (new pyramids, new subtheme?)
• 2nd wave of Pirates of the Caribbean (slightly confirmed by LEGO retail store)
• New theme (return of Western/Ancient Greece/any sort of action?)
• Ninjago (probably the final wave, has some sort of alligator/mutant twist, as per teaser poster)
• Star Wars (anything's possible with that!)
• LORD OF THE RINGS/THE HOBBIT? If this does happen, it won't be until the end of the year, or even January 2013.
• Slight chance of classic Pirates? (With the success of 2009's anniversary line and POTC, it's probably approaching!)
• Collectible Minifigures Series 6, 7, 8, and maybe even 9?
• The Avengers? (From an article last month, several toy companies, LEGO being one of them, were invited to the set of the new movie. With Disney now in charge of Marvel, we could see that!)
• The Amazing Spider-Man? (for the 2012 reboot? Hmmm....)
• More licensed themes and new exclusives (modular houses/buildings, winter exclusive, advent calenders)

These are just speculations summed up together by TWB from numerous websites.

Only time will tell if these rumors ever come true! Usually, signs of the 2012 sets start appearing in August, so keep your eyes peeled!
