2013 Lone Ranger Sets Images Surfaced!

GRogall, A member of Eurobricks Forum has exclusively shared some 2013 Lone Ranger Sets Images (two images for each set) in the site's 2013 Lone Ranger Thread just about a month before the actual sets officially launched. All of those images are in "High Resolution" condition and linked to the 2500+.pxl version. For more about it you can visit the following links,

2013 Lone Ranger Images on a Eurobicks Thread or GRogall's Brickshelf Gallery (not yet public)

Update :

21102 Minecraft
LEGO® 21102 Minecraft was recently popular among the Brick Investors because of the booming demand when the actual product is released in limited quantity. So, the investors take the advantage from this condition by buying a lot of it and sold it at a higher price. Meanwhile, 10232 Palace Cinema was actually released in around last mid-February and only can be purchased by VIP Program Member but it can reach the 2nd just in half month! Wow, its so surprising guys.

From the top 5 sets above, I'm only interested in 10937 Batman: Arkham Asylum Breakout off course because this set is so epic. Beside that, licensed set (I believe) is always have a great investment value which can survive for long time.
