I have to say I've been a little underwhelmed by LEGO's recent offerings. I'm not a collector of the Ninjago or Chima lines and the recent City offerings haven't really caught my attention. Thankfully it looks like my LEGO obsession is about to be reignited, courtesy of the upcoming Ultra Agents sets. Just watch this video and I'm sure you'll feel the same..

AFFILIATE LINK: LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Display Box
Featuring 60 blind-bagged figures (of the 16 figures in this wave) the LEGO Minifigures Simpsons display box (that's retailer speak for ''big case'') is a double-whammy of collectible goodness, which can be yours right now, courtesy of Entertainment Earth. Given how popular these figures have been (and that's saying something, considering how collectible the ''regular'' LEGO Minifigures are) it's amazing to see this still in stock. So if you don't want to miss out on this cromulent collection, you'd better act fast!

NEWS: Captain Action 3 3/4'' Figure Prototype Revealed!
OK, so it's still a digital prototype but this new image gives us a taste of what to expect when Captain Action makes his smaller-scale debut (hopefully) later this year, courtesy of Zica Toys!
AFFILIATE LINK: Universal Monsters Select Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Creature from the Black Lagoon is back!
Set to surface later this year, the 7'' tall figure sports the same super-detailed sculpting, fantastic paintwork and flexible articulation we've come to expect from Diamond Select's Universal Monsters figure line. Sculpted by master toy designer Jean St. Jean, the figure is a new version of the classic monster and comes complete with an sub-aquatic-themed base - including skeletal remains!

VIDEO VIEW: JANGBRiCKS' LEGO Creator Bike Shop & Cafe Review
I have to admit I was quite excited when I saw that JANG had reviewed this set and also that I was pretty disappointed when I saw the finished build. But stick with the video, as JANG (or rather, Mrs JANG) also provides the alternate - and in my view, more impressive - builds to give us a much better sense of what the set offers. It's by no means cheap, retailing at $89 but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the modular building sets then this could be worth taking a look at.
AFFILIATE LINK: LEGO Star Wars Microfighters
LEGO's latest foray into the world(s) of Star Wars is a new line of ''miniaturized'' versions of classic vehicles and Minifigures. Each vehicle features around 90 pieces, a driver Minifigure and an assortment of cool play features. Notable sets includes the Millennium Falcon, a very cool X-Wing, the neat TIE Interceptor, and the Mini-Rig esque Clone Turbo Tank (pictured above) and AAT.
Check them out now!

AFFILIATE LINK: The Walking Dead TV Series Wave 6 Figure Set
The quality of the show may have had its ups and downs (because Sad Beard Governor was so engaging) but thankfully the line of TV-inspired Walking Dead figures has continually impressed. And Wave 6 is no exception.
Featuring Rick, The Governor, Carol, Herschel (with interchangeable limb), a ''guts out'' walker and show newcomer Abraham, this six-figure set isn't due to arrive until October - just in time, no doubt, for the show's return. But these figures are hugely popular with hardcore collectors and casual fans alike, so to avoid missing out we're giving you a heads up right now: go get your pre-order in before they're gone!

VIDEO VIEW: JANGBRiCKS' Kre-O Dungeons & Dragons Drizzt Review
We've already taken our look at the rather cool Kreon Warrior Drizzt figure/playset but here's JANG's take to help further convince you that you should own this figure.
AFFILIATE LINK: Star Wars Black 4'' Series Wave 4
Every generation has a legend...
I'm talking, of course, about the quest of every kid in the 70s to find the super-elusive, short-packed Yoda action figure. Thankfully, for once, Hasbro has seen the light over the whole short-packing deal, as the latest 4'' Series 12-figure case features an even 2-figure split for each character. But given how popular Yoda is and that this line-up also features an awesome army builder Snow Trooper plus a few familiar faces from the EU, it's sure it's still going to prove most elusive in the wild, so to avoid disappointment you can go ahead and pre-order your case right now.
