Check the video above for looks at the Castle, City, Technics, Pirates and Mind Storm lines. Video also includes looks at Power Miners, Agents 2.0 and Space Police (The three lines I thought where the best offerings from Lego this year.)
Power Miner is a new original line from Lego and it looks flat out awesome. Lot's of play value and gimmicks packed into these sets as well as nice looking designs. Sometimes I wish I was 7 again...
Space Police is the other new line that caught our attention and again, it's packed with all sorts of accessories and play gimmicks.
Agents 2.0 is back and looking pretty cool as well. Of particular interest is the Robot Monster.
Age 7 or 37 I am definitely adding Robot Monster to my collection...

I love the semi-truck with rockets attached. As a kid, all of my lego adventures took place in space. If a relative or friend bought me a kit from another line I rockets and suddenly it was space worthy.
Does Robot Monster have an electronic feature? I notice a thin wire leading from it.
It's ironic that Lego would make a large robot set when they just killed off Exo-Force - a whole line that was filled with them - because of poor sales.
The Space stuff has been a long-time want from the Lego community. While the Mars stuff was a move in the right direction, this is finally getting back to that great era of Lego.
I wish that I could have gotten some classic Space Police sets- those were kick-ass. But these new ones are meh.
I already picked-up the smallish Mine Mech (#8957) in December, but have yet to build/review it. The Thunder Driller (8960) looks interesting- reminds me of The Mole mobile drill from "Thunderbirds"- but I'm not sure if I wanna get it or not; same with the Granite Grinder (8958) and Crystal Sweeper (8961).
It looks like they already expanded the Power Miners line beyond the seven debut sets I saw last month online.
And I agree with you, Duke Togo- why are they bringing back giant poseable robots when they axed my beloved Exo-Force so unceremoniously?

Holy crap, that Space Police stuff looks exactly like the crap I would try and make as a kid... I agree with you, to be 7 again!
Oh man, I loved the original black, red, and blue Space Police when I was a kid. I had the entire Space Police line except for the really huge expensive spaceship and the space jail. I never liked the green sequel to Space Police, but the original sets are awesome. I think I actually have them all in my closet somewhere. My favorite was the second largest jet that carried its own jail cell and had a crazy battery powered light built in for arresting little Blacktron Lego bad guys.
