Minifigures Series 11, Mr. Gold, Superman, Lone Ranger, and Star Wars!

Hi everyone! I have been sick for a few days now so I wasn't able to post anything new, but hopefully this is new enough.
- Minifigures Series 11
It's official, Minifigures Series 11 will be released later this year, 2013. It was revealed by the French Amazon website (no pictures yet) along with a brief, roughly translated, description:

"With 16 new figures in Series 11 Special, the LEGO collection continues to grow. Each figure is packed in a bag 'mystery' and accompanied by special accessories, a base and ask for a booklet. Inspired by movies, sports, history or everyday life, this collection includes: a scientist, a female robot, evil, a jazz man, an elf, a policeman, a Bavarian woman, a waitress, a scarecrow, a barbarian, a welder, a mountaineer, a grandmother, a warrior tiki man and gingerbread."

These weren't the expected minifigures but I'll have more information in the near future most likely.

- Mr. Gold or should I say Mr. Ripoff? (4/16/2013)
Mr. Gold... Yep... It's him, he's struck his first blow on ebay. I don't know who bought these or why they did, but there were two Mr. Golds sold by the same person on ebay today (4/16/2013) for €999.00, in other words: $1,307.09 USD! What!? That's over one thousand dollars! What's with this person!? I must have missed something because I didn't think Mr. Gold was made of real pure gold. I thought it must have been some sort of gold coating. I mean... No, I'm done with this.

NY Toy Fair 2013

Finally we get a bunch of new Lego news from the New York Toy Fair! There's a lot, so I'm not (obviously) going to put all the pictures of the sets on here but I'll put a few of my favorites (✰) on instead. So today we have Galaxy Squad, Star Wars, Games, Lord of the Rings, Castle, and The Lone Ranger (updates) (since, on this blog, I'm focusing mainly on sets with minifigures I will be not be including Hero Factory and Friends, click them for links to the pages with them). Let's start with Galaxy Squad, there was really only one whole new set shown, that was 70706 Crater Creeper, however the rest of 70708 Hive Crawler is now shown.
70706 Crater Creeper $19.99
70708 Hive Crawler $69.99 ✰

79006 The Council of Elrond $29.99

70400 Forest Ambush!

These sets all look really great, I'll be covering Legends of Chima tomorrow. This is the Lego Spy, out. Now here are a few of my favorites (✰):
✰ The Hive Crawler from Galaxy Squad looks great, the wheels on the bottom make the legs move in a bug-like manner and shoots the included bug larvae eggs out of the back where the crack and release the creature!

Price Guess: Lone Ranger

Lego Lone Ranger was revealed a few months ago and now we get a guess at the prices for them!
- 79106 Cavalry: $19.99 (surprised this is the least expensive set, being $19.99.....)
- 79107 Comanche Camp: $29.99 - $39.99 ? (Looks like $29.99)
- 79108 Stagecoach Escape: $39.99 - $59.99!? (I highly doubt that it will be $59.99)
- 79109 Colby City Showdown: $69.99 - $79.99 (I don't think it will be $59.99 but it could)
- 79110 Silver Mine Shootout: $89.99 - $99.99 (looks like one of the best sets so far!)
- 79111 Constitution Train Chase: $119.99 - $129.99 (with the introduction of $129 by Helm's Deep it will probably be that :-( ) So far this looks like a great theme since we haven't seen a western theme since Western (:-P)! And the new pistols (in picture below) look great as well! What's your opinion? Comment below. This is the Lego spy, out.
UPDATE (2/9/2013): 79108 will not be $60 dollars, $50 dollars, or even $40 dollars! It will be priced at an amazing $29.99 USD. Constitution Train Chase's (79111) price is currently unknown, but stay tuned to Lego Spy for further news!
UPDATE (3/1/2013): Constitution Train Chase's price is officially set at $99.99
