Probally won't be seeing much in the future. I read a business brief/report awhile back. Lego is losing $$$ BIG time. In today's age of computers/wacky toys/and CCG's the old bystands of my childhood (comics and Lego) are generally going down the tubes. Example, a comic like 'Teen Titans' used to sell over 100,000 copies in the 1980's, now the same comic sells about 24,000 copies per issue.
Lego has just aquired the rights to the 'Harry Potter' series, so look for sets from there. Generally anything that is a 'tie-in' to movies etc they will try for as it generates $$ by name recognition.
Too bad though, I used to love the generic blocks and special sets from way back. Used to build all the 'StarBlazers' and 'G-Force' ships in my spare time from odd blocks. (had a 3 foot Argo once!
...)
