I'm not so sure about this theme. I'm not against it, I just think it'll be hard to create sets that work effectively. Although looking at that concept set, which looks like something from LEGO Studios, I suppose it could work. But not with those awful brick heads. It's bad enough what they're doing with the Minecraft minifigure...

Well this is interesting. BrickFanatics is reporting that LEGO and Top Gear may be joining forces in some very interesting ways, possibly connected to - surprise! - LEGO Minifigures Online. Possible LEGO Top Gear ?! Some say we might be seeing LEGO Top Gear sets Short version: The Top Gear Consumer Panel has sent out surveys regarding another possible LEGO tie-in with Top Gear (they already released a Stig keychain a while back). The survey even included images of concept models, which BrickFanatics has posted. The sets would also unlock content in variety of LEGO games and apps: A tie-in app called LEGO Stunt School, where players would "build digital LEGO vehicles and then pit them in crazy Top Gear-themed stunts", Another "Top Gear Challenge App" similar to the Life of George app where fans can build and share creations, Top Gear sets would include codes to unlock the vehicles in LEGO Minifigures Online for players to drive around and do fun stuff with. A virtual currency of sorts would also be implemented to share between apps and games, earned by purchasing real sets, and spent on video clips of the show. Thanks to ProfessorBrickkeeper for the heads up. Sources: BrickFanatics

Pretty much my opinion on it as well. Personally, I'm more interested in getting vehicles in Minifigures Online than the actual sets. :P

Ok. As much as I love watching Top Gear (The good one, not the American version), I find this very upsetting. I haven't gotten another LEGO set since December 2011 because of the themes that I like are either gone or don't sell in stores. And with all these "new" themes, I'm not sure I want anymore sets.

HOW DARE YOU? How can you destroy the grammatical structure of this highly-valued word that means so much to many people across the globe? How can you even think of degrading this iconic word of one of the most successful business in history? Even the spellcheckers conspire against you to omit this abomination from the world! Would you see many people crumble into tears? You may not, but somewhere, this is happening* and it is no mere event! Many unstable personalities inhabit this world, and you have crumbled their spirits into nothingness by committing this blasphemy, this act of sacrilege to the world! May you be hit by Captain Redbeard with rockets and may your Rock Raiders miss the monsters thus making the monsters destroy your base, and may the Blue Screen Of Death come to your computer!!

Found a GameCube screenshot showing a more finalized version of this arena, with better lighting and stuff:

Xalax...you mean these? Yeah they were umm...not well designed and looked cheap to put it nicely.
