The sets for the LoTR films are all very much in-line with the movies.
Preliminary images for the sets have already hit the web. Don't click if you

news/discussion groups. The number shown next to each group is the number
of e-mail addresses on the outgoing mailing list for that group. The
histograms on the far left summarize the time intervals at which people
have chosen to receive the groups.

If the newsgroup name is a hierarchy (ends in .*) rather than a single
group, then the number shown next to it is the total number of unique
e-mail addresses across all mailing lists for that hierarchy.

Note: Although these numbers do provide certain insights on readership,
they do not fully indicate total readership, because there is no way to
track subscriptions except the ones going out by e-mail. (Keep in mind
that all these discussion groups are also read via NNTP and HTTP.)

lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FUT: lugnet.mediawatch: BILLUND, Denmark (December 19, 2011) /PRNewswire/

[LEGO® GROUP DECLARES NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION FOR 2012: DELIVER MEANINGFUL PLAY
EXPERIENCES TO GIRLS WORLDWIDE WITH NEW LEGO® FRIENDS]

Company brings classic construction play to the girls’ aisle with first-of-
its-kind LEGO® mini-doll figure, three new brick colors and detailed interiors
that reflect four years of research in play needs of girls

BILLUND, Denmark: The LEGO Group, the world’s leading construction toy brand,
today announced LEGO® Friends, a new play theme that tailors the iconic LEGO
construction experience especially to girls ages five and up. LEGO Friends
delivers on a girl’s desire for realistic role-play, creativity, and a
highly-detailed, character-based world with the core values of LEGO building.

The LEGO Friends collection of 23 products ranges in price from $5.99 to $99.99
USD and the first 14 will be available for sale in select toy, discount
merchandise, specialty and online stores beginning December 26, 2011 in the
United Kingdom and January 1, 2012 in the United States. A rolling International
launch will follow in the spring, with the remaining nine sets launching in the
summer months.

“We felt it was time to test assumptions that girls aren’t interested in
building and to breathe fresh air into a toy category filled mostly with
pre-fabricated play experiences for girls,” said Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, CEO, LEGO
Group. “We focused on creating a play experience centered on the joy of
creation, while heeding the way girls naturally build and play. We are
incredibly proud of the solution we deliver with LEGO Friends, and are resolved
to build this platform for years to come.”

LEGO Friends is the first 100 percent LEGO building experience fully optimized
to girls’ tastes and interests. Thousands of girls and their mothers worldwide
participated in intensive research that validated the desire for more beauty,
realistic details, accessories and interior building and role play opportunities
in a LEGO offering.

[Introducing the LEGO mini-doll figure]

Anchored by the introduction of a new mini-doll figure, LEGO Friends introduces
a new LEGO minifigure platform tailored to girls’ requests for a more realistic,
relatable and stylized figure. Designed to the same scale of the classic LEGO
minifigure, the mini-doll figure stands roughly 5 millimeters taller than its
minifigure sibling, yet features similar constructability, shares the iconic
“claw” hand to hold the same accessories, can wear the same hair and headpieces,
and is compatible with all LEGO building sets. A total of 29 different mini-doll
figures will be introduced in 2012.

“LEGO Friends is one of the most researched LEGO projects ever and is a
culmination of years of anthropological research with girls around the world to
understand what they expect from a construction toy,” said Nanna Ulrich Gudum,
senior creative director, LEGO Group. “In talking with girls and their moms, we
understand that girls really want a LEGO offering that mirrors what the boys
experience, but in a way that fulfills their unique desire for remodeling and
redesign, combined with realistic themes in community and friendship.”

“Unlike previous LEGO toys for girls, LEGO Friends, at its core, does not
apologize for being a construction toy and delivers, for the first time, a
building experience in the same scale as our classic offerings,” Nanna Ulrich
Gudum continued. “What LEGO Friends does differently is deliver the beauty,
details, accessories, real world themes and need for strong interior play that
the research revealed would make all the difference for girls ages 5 and up.”

[Welcome to Heartlake City]

The LEGO Friends story centers on the everyday lives and personalities of five
girls in a fictional hometown called Heartlake City. Each of the friends—Olivia,
Mia, Andrea, Stephanie and Emma—has a distinct personality and interests, such
as animals, performing arts, invention and design, that are reflected in the
models. Building sets reflect different parts of town where the girls’
adventures take place—downtown, suburbs, beach, camping grounds and mountains.

[The product collection]

Half of the launch collection includes construction sets themed to introduce
girls to each of the “Friend’s” personalities, including: Stephanie’s Outdoor
Bakery, Emma’s Splash Pool, Andrea’s Stage, Olivia’s Inventor’s Workshop,
Stephanie’s Pet Patrol, Mia’s Puppy House and Emma’s Design Studio. Girls are
also invited to construct the Friends’ favorite locations in Heartlake City with
larger building sets, including: Stephanie’s Cool Convertible, Olivia’s Tree
House, Heartlake Dog Show, Butterfly Beauty Shop, City Park Café, Heartlake Vet,
and Olivia’s House. The remaining nine sets launching later in the year deliver
the same range in price and theme.

[Experiencing LEGO Friends]

Children will be immersed in the new world they can create with LEGO Friends
through a variety of brand experiences planned for 2012. In addition to
providing product information, the LEGO Friends website will allow children to
explore the personalities of each of the five Friends and the different spots in
Heartlake City. The site will also feature an avatar creator, mini-movies,
games, video building tips, story extensions, contests, news and an events
calendar. Also planned are Interactive building events and road shows,
promotions, magazines, digital content, a mini movie, in-store experiences,
books and more. Check <http://www.LEGOFriends.com LEGOFriends.com> for more
information.

lugnet.admin.statistics, FUT: lugnet.admin.general: This is a daily snapshot of the numbers of e-mail subscribers to LUGNET
news/discussion groups. The number shown next to each group is the number
of e-mail addresses on the outgoing mailing list for that group. The
histograms on the far left summarize the time intervals at which people
have chosen to receive the groups.

If the newsgroup name is a hierarchy (ends in .*) rather than a single
group, then the number shown next to it is the total number of unique
e-mail addresses across all mailing lists for that hierarchy.

Note: Although these numbers do provide certain insights on readership,
they do not fully indicate total readership, because there is no way to
track subscriptions except the ones going out by e-mail. (Keep in mind
that all these discussion groups are also read via NNTP and HTTP.)

To me ReBrick seems a lot simpler than what LEGOFan was heading for.
I think this is a very good idea, since they limit how much work has to
be done to make the site work, _and_ since they don't have to convince
people to switch from their existing on-line platforms.

Play well,

Since it has been mention about the problems between Peter Jackson and New Line
Cinema. However, New Line Cinema is subsidiary of Warner Brothers. It's not
known what actually is in the contract between the LEGO Group and Warner Bros.
If they worked out the small details. So far LEGO and Warner Bros. have a good
relationship. It will be interesting.

Okay, here's something that will make some people upset and others happy. I've
had a few hours to let this information simmer, and after getting home I did
some fact-checking. New Line Cinema produced the LotR trilogy with Peter
Jackson. Due to their "creative" book-keeping, Jackson ended up suing them over
royalties that he was owed (he was foolish enough to sign a contract for a
percent of the _profits_, so NLC made sure that one of the most successful movie
trilogies in the history of ever was never allowed to show a profit on the
books, so they'd never have to pay out profits-based royalties). Apparently his
relationship with NLC has not improved, and he shopped The Hobbit around.
Warner Bros. will be producing the duology, for which the first movie is due out
in a year.

Meanwhile, we get a press release saying that The LEGO Company has signed on
with WB to produce LotR/Hobbit sets (and a Hobbit video game from TT Games has
been leaked through other sources). The problem here is that WB has zero
involvement with the mega-successful LotR movie trilogy, and therefore they
almost certainly don't have the rights to license a toy line based on those
movies or the designs depicted within them. So, while it has been confirmed
that they will be making sets based on both LotR and The Hobbit, don't expect
any of the former to look like anything you've seen in theaters.

lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general, lugnet.lego, FUT: lugnet.mediawatch: [ReBrick - From LEGO fan to LEGO fan]

The success of the LEGO Group in recent years owes a lot to the dedication and
love of the LEGO® brick by consumers and the fan community. ReBrick is a step
further along the road of collaboration with LEGO consumers, but now with focus
on sharing and celebrating what consumers create with LEGO bricks. We hope that
ReBrick will be a source of inspiration for everyone in the LEGO community.

[What is LEGO ReBrick?]

•ReBrick is a social media platform where users over the age of 13 can share and
discuss user-created LEGO content online.

•ReBrick users can bookmark LEGO content from sites, such as Flickr and YouTube
and existing LEGO community sites, and have a discussion via comments at the
ReBrick hub. It will not be possible to upload content to the ReBrick site, so
the traffic will be sent back to the community.

•ReBrick is LEGO Group owned, but the selection of content rests primarily with
the user community.

•ReBrick will both serve as a social bookmarking hub for easy navigation of the
latest and coolest user-developed LEGO content, but it will also enable this
content to be pushed to 3rd party social media platforms, LEGO fan sites and
other LEGO sites by the users.

•ReBrick is not commercial and won’t be used by the LEGO Group to market LEGO
products.

[ReBrick amplifies the vibrant LEGO community]

There are millions of articles, videos and photos featuring LEGO bricks on the
web, and more show up every day. Some fan-made videos on YouTube get millions of
views within a few days. Clearly, LEGO fans are already out there sharing and
chatting away big time.

But the fragmentation makes it difficult for the casual LEGO fan or those just
entering the LEGO hobby to find the content they might be looking for or just
browse for inspiration. It is our hope, that ReBrick will make it easier to
navigate, enjoy and be inspired by the awesome content created by LEGO fans and
also facilitate new connections between people in the LEGO community. ReBrick
acts as a hub, gathering the most interesting, off-the-wall and astonishing
creations in one place so that fans everywhere can join the conversation.

[Releasing control]

Millions of user-created LEGO objects are already driving thousands of
conversations each day. ReBrick will let the users moderate themselves, with
little involvement from The LEGO Group. A set of simple House Rules will ensure
that the core values that most consumers associate with the LEGO brand will set
the tone for content and conversation. We believe that the consumers themselves
know and appreciate these values and will uphold them.

[”Always in Beta” mindset]

From the early stages, the LEGO user community has contributed to ReBrick,
influencing the way it works, the design and the house rules. The LEGO community
will continue to be closely involved in the further development of ReBrick.
ReBrick will continue to be co-developed with the LEGO community adding new
features on a regular basis.
