A reader (Thanks Floris!) sent me an email about this ebay auction for a Lego Certified Professional DrillMAX Drill Ship Limited Edition Kit. This is one that I have not seen before and it lead me to find a few other Certified Professional Sets that I have not seen before.
EDIT: I added a link to all known (by me) Certified Professional Sets at the bottom of this post. See it here. We have close to 55 of these now.
I have included two videos below of the DrillMAX and ICEMAX.
EDIT: It appears that the ICEMAX and DrillMax are two diferent ships. I added a pic of the ICEMAX below as well.

It looks like CM4Sci over at Eurobricks here and reddit here has disclosed the first image of the Winter Holiday Train. It looks like a pretty simple starter train that should be relatively affordable. It looks like it includes at least 5 minifigures, 16 track pieces and an engine, 1 car and a caboose.
CM4Sci is disclosing a $99.00 retail price in the US. He also confirmed the 5 minifigures guess above. This looks to be a smaller partial replica of the last holiday train set – 10173 – which contained 965 pieces and was released in 2007. It make sense that it is a little smaller since the price is $99. The original set from 7 years ago listed at $89.99 and prices have to go up right? You can see that set here on Amazon at a pretty high price. I am sure that this is part of the reason that this set is being re-released. Picture of old set below.
Here are the images from the Holiday 2006 Lego Catalog for the 10173 set. You can see hi res copies of these pics here.
Thanks for looking.
We are just waiting on the death star now!

I saw this last night over on a Taiwanese Facebook group called Taiwan Lego Club. You can join the group here. Additionally, here is the post. I contacted the poster to see if he knew the origin, but he did not. He did know in fact that it is not a Christo figure. He also stated that it is pad printed. I think that is the only way that you could get the line and colors this crisp on the helmet, but I am not an expert in this area.
If you know who created this figure, or if you did, please contact and let me know. I would love to hear from you!
The reminds me quite a bit of the Zebra Batman from a few months ago created by Christ. You can see that here.
I am really impressed at how good the lines look on the helmet.
Here are better pics of the Rainbow Batman while you are waiting to join Taiwan Lego Club if you cannot see the post here. See below.
I quickly checked eBay and I was only able to find one different Rainbow Batman created by Atomic Bricks. Very similar, but the helmet looks to be hand painted on this one.

I recently received a few images from a reader about a rather rare and obscure Red Prototype Skeletal Horse. The first thing I noticed when I received this information is that Skeletal is the Lego name for this piece and not Skeleton. I am not sure I even knew that Skeletal is an English word. 🙂 However, it appears that this is the name used by Lego and Bricklink.
I received these pictures from an Ebay seller that has sold a few prototypes in the past. Johnnybgood2. These are from his personal collection. Ironically, I also noticed this past week that a reddit reader posted an image of one of these as well. See it here.
Lego released the Skeletal horse between the years of 2007 to 2012. It is possible that this horse will be released again, but we do not currently know. This horse has been released in three official colors. White, Black and Glow in the dark! See here for reference on Bricklink.
A few interesting items to note about this prototype figure when compared to some of the other prototypes that I have posted about in the past. This one is not just a color change, but it also has a few structural differences. Meaning that it used a different Mold completely.
Based on these images, it would appear that black and white prototypes exist im very limited quantities as well.
This is is the first time that I have seen a prototype figure that used a different mold. I am guessing that they had a few issues with the first mold and had to make an new one, but that is just my guess. That means that this particular part is extra rare when compared to some of the others.

This just showed up on eBay and is a pretty impressive MOC. Please visit the auction to see more pictures. Per the seller, it is over 7 feet tall and is proper Minifig scale. You can see it here.

The seller claims that it is built to scale and proportional as well.
Thanks for looking and I hope that you enjoy it. This is a pretty special find. Wow 50,000 bricks!
