I love LEGO. Let's get that out of the way first. Now they've teamed up with both Marvel and DC Comics and The Lord of the Rings in an effort to take every last one of my dollars.
Yesterday at the Toy Fair, Lego unveiled some of their new promotional tie ins for The Avengers movie, along with new sets for the DC Universe and The Lord of the Rings. While the tiny Deadpool and Loki are my favorites. They have all the characters from Thor and Cap, Hulk and Iron Man, Batman and Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn, Riddler, Two-Face,Superman and Lex Luthor, the list goes on. I think you can even see a Bane Minifig. I didn't even start talking about all the new Lord of the Rings figures. Take a look at all the great new sets that will be coming out soon.
The Avengers are first and they look awesome. Just look at Loki's Helmet and Iron Man's too.
