New Lego Superman "Metropolis Showdown"

A new Superman Lego set called "Metropolis Showdown" is due to be in stores in May, and will probably be around 12.99 USD. I think this lego set is a bit overpriced, but again, we have a General Zod minifigure which I don't think has appeared in any lego sets so far.  And I think Superman has a new double-sided head, as the picture shows, his new "laser beams"

Here's another image of the whole set:

2013 Lego LOTR Minifigure Image

LordOf TheBricks has found yet ANOTHER image of the 2013 Lego Lord of the rings theme.
Above you can clearly see the 10 new minifigures which are going to be released this year. 20 in total are going to be available in the 4 sets going to be released this year, but the other 10 (Ranger Aragorn, Legolas, 2 Gimli's, the 4 Mordor Orcs, Gandalf the grey (without the hair) and Frodo)

I am really looking forward to all these minifigures providing that they don't change. The torso and leg printings are very detailed, and Saruman, Gandalf the white, Elrond and Arwen have AWESOME hair pieces. Elrond's face looks pretty angry though, maybe double sided head?

Lego 2013 Lord of the Rings Battle at the Black Gate CLEAR image

Recently, a PRELIMINARY image of the battle of the black gate set was leaked.

As you can see, Gandalf the white is simply a minifigure dressed in white with Gandalf's beard and a hair piece that looks like Lucius Malfoy's. As this is a Preliminary image, Gandalf the white won't be looking like this, as well as the new Aragorn variant and the Mouth of Sauron. The real minifigures are shown at the bottom left hand corner of the box.

A bit disappointed about the Eagle, as it can't grab any minifigures with it's unposeable legs. I simply got Lego set 31004, and used the eagle there, as it's feet and legs could both bend and grab minifigures.
