There are already review on this set (here). Its seem to be a nice set, however, it is not as spectacular as the real architecture.

New Legoland hotel at Legoland Windsor

News from thesun on 18 March 2012 stated that the new Legoland hotel at Legoland Windsor has opened!!! The hotel rooms are also in theme of lego !!! The 150 bedrooms fall into three themes – Pirate, Kingdom or Adventure – all stamped with the color, fun and interactivity of LEGO, including a multitude of decorative models and plenty of LEGO to play with.

You can visit the blooloop.com for the reviews of the hotel.

Here are some pictures share from hmillington's photostream and you can visit his photostream to see more pictures.

I personally love how the minifigures are displayed. Can learn from them and displays yours at your home. Petty neat aren't they?

The 2011 LEGO Minifigure Catalog

Just browse the brickset and found out that Christoph Bartneck, author of the excellent Unofficial LEGO Minifigure Catalog has published three new books. These three new books contains pictures and details of nearly every minifig released in 2011, all 415 of them. Christoph has sensibly decided not to re-issue the full catalog every year but to publish books like this annually so that you can keep up to date for a small incremental cost.

Exacted from brickset:
"The 2011 LEGO Minifigure Catalog

The format has been improved significantly and now all relevant details about the figures are included in the body of the book, together with images of the head and back. There is also a price guide for each figure, showing new and used prices in USD, as taken from BrickLink.

The Harry Potter LEGO Minifigure Catalog and The Star Wars LEGO Minifigure Catalog follow the same format. They cover every minifig in their respective theme, to the end of 2011. Both books are organised in chapters corresponding to the movies and within each chapter the figures are ordered by their number. That perhaps, is the only criticism I can make about the books: finding a particular variation of, say, Boba Fett, requires a bit of digging around. It might have been better to order the books by character name.

Notwithstanding this minor point, the books are excellent and well worth buying if you're a collector of either of the themes in question. The 2011 catalog is likely only to appeal to those with the full catalog, but these two stand alone as useful references in their own right. Highly recommended!"
