I agree. I've said it before, I don't like it when Lego releases anything that I can't buy at my local store. I'm not a completionist by any means, and if you get a Mr. Gold or NY Yoda I won't hate on you. It's just the elitist attitude that limited toys create, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

It isn't just toys. It is anything. People generally hate us ebayers who score the limited stuff and put it on ebay for high profits. My girlfriend just went through this with some make-up lines that were limited releases and sold out in a heartbeat. Now the only place to get it is on ebay at 400% retail.

There is some unhealthy driving desire for exclusivity. I don't like it either, but when it comes to making money, short supply is your best friend, despite the ugly social environment it can create.

I believe they are announcing the new hobbit set on Saturday.

Yes - That new Wookiee Warrior looks great. It has a bulkier body than the old one and I love that armor on the shoulder.

Guess not much of a reason to post these images now. Whatever, here you go courtesy of The Brick Fan.

The Brick Fan has posted reviews for both of the Comic-Con exclusive mini models.

Micro Scale Bag End.

JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter.

They should make microfigs for these mini builds........they look weird with minifigs.

The Starfighter is okay but the mini Bag End looks odd that's for sure.
