Free LEGO Minifigure 2gb USB Drive TRU
You get the above minfigure usb drive with a purchase of $75 or more at Toys’R'Us stores. Kinda neat. Not sure if you can just outright buy it; I know that my local TRU store won’t sell the promotional materials to customers anymore. Offer good while supplies last and is valid through 12/11.

NASA New LEGO Sets
Source From: Eurobricks - http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=48181&st=75&p=850213&#entry850213
有關原文節錄:
According to LEGO and NASA, the space shuttle and space station flying on STS-134 will become part of the LEGO City line.
There are other new sets planned, including a "Satellites" set and exclusive to NASA sets -- not to be sold to the public -- that create interior scenes to the International Space Station.
Unlike the 2003 Discovery series of NASA-theme sets, these new NASA partnership LEGO sets will not include minifigures with the NASA logo, but NASA-provided educational information will be included with each set sold to the public.
I hope that helps clarify what is flying. We have a few more articles/features planned about the LEGO and NASA partnership, which we'll be publishing over the next few weeks and months.

LEGO New Official Products-Flower Vase (Just available in France)
Source From: Brickset - http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=980
Didier brings us news of a range of limited edition flower vase kits available in French florists. He says there are three different ones, available in three different chains of florists. They are individually numbered and only between 700 and 1150 of each are being made. He's sent pictures of two of them which I've added here.
You'll be relieved to hear that the kits also come with a glass or plastic container that fits inside them to hold the water: without it a vase made of LEGO would be as much use as a chocolate teapot :-)
Didier believes that Rene Hoffmeister, the German LEGO Certified Professional, designed them. Rene is a good friend of Brickset: he hosts our library of set images.
Expect to see some at eBay.fr going for extortionate prices soon...
Update: the third design is shown here: http://www.femmeactuelle.fr/jardin/plante-d-interieur__1/vases-en-lego-monceau-fleurs-00476/(page)/2. The page also confirms Rene as the designer.

LEGO Universe update
New set news Posted by bluemoose, Oct 10 2010 4:26PM
The LEGO Universe launch is now underway; those that pre-ordered the game have been able to play the 'Gold' release of the game since last Friday.
As you know, Brickset is all about sets, so the launch of a computer game isn't really our thing. However, there are at least a couple of sets released as part of the launch promotion ...
The first is set #2853944, the orange Astronaut figure 'exclusively' sent to those that pre-ordered the game. We're hearing rumours that some US LEGO stores have been giving them to customers who purchased the game in-store at the launch event on Saturday 9th October. For pre-order customers, the game box included a card with a unique code number that could be used to enable an in-game version of the Astronaut uniform as wearable equipment.
The second is set #55001, a little rocket ship similar to those used in the game to move between levels. This was availble at in-store launch events held in LEGO Brand stores on Saturday 9th October. This was intended to be given away as part of an in-store mini-build event, but we've heard that in some stores it was also given away with purchases of the game. Similar to the Astronaut figure, there was a card included in the pack that had a unique code number that can be used to enable an in-game version of the rocket.
Have you heard of any other promotional releases accompanying the release of LEGO Universe ? If so, please let us know. Thanks :-)
