Lego summer releases!

Pictures of Lego 2009 summer releases are out! I like that the Power Miner sets are getting larger Rock Monsters to fight off, it just sucks that they're in the larger sets that I won't be able to afford. It amuses me greatly that there's now a special "fez" hat piece in one of the new Indiana Jones sets. The headset from the Temple of Doom High Priest isn't amusing so much as PURE AWESOME! There's finally going to be an Admiral Akbar figure for the Star Wars set. I don't think I approve of all the aliens in the new Space Police sets being criminals, and all the actual Police being humans. In my own personal legoland, there will either be Alien Affirmative Action, or the so-called "criminals" will really be the heroic resistance to human tyranny. It is pretty awesome that one of the aliens is apparently a Mind Flayer. Another looks like Kermit the Frog got into the mutagen cabinet. It's interesting that some of the display figures still appear to be rough prototypes, while the box art is much smoother. I don't know whether they just didn't have more finished pieces available for the toy show display, or if the finished pieces don't yet exist outside of Photoshop.
