Lego Batman Officially Launched, Available at Shop Lego

There are a few sets we hadn't seen before, (Batman Drag Racer?) and not all the sets are yet released, but there's a Batmobile, and we know that's the one everyone wants to start with.

Congratulations to the 100 chosen members, who were notified on Friday that they are eligable to purchase the $250 Mindstorms NXT kit.

Lego said participants are divided into three groups: Software/Hardware Development, Inventions and Creations, and Community. Developers have access to a secure Web forum where they communicate with one another, learn more about the project, debate issues, decide on solutions and help shape the community that supports the Lego Mindstorms NXT launch.

Batman sets seen in the wild

Mike (CountBlockula on Flickr) has taken some photos of the minifigs from the new Batman sets. We are green with envy; these are so new we suspect the plastic is still warm.

First impressions are very good. We've known for a while that the minifigs were great, but seeing actual digital photos of the real product is still exciting, especially as it means they are now available for sale, in some stores at least.
