Toys 'R Us just released their annual list of hottest new toys for the 2005
holiday shopping season, and there are 14 toys listed, including the 7019 LEGO®
Vikings Fortress set (http://www.brickset.com/search.aspx?Set=7019-1). The funny

(I was fortunate enough to score a 7016 Viking set during the Dirty Brickster
event at BrickFest, brought over the pond by Erik Brok. My kids love it.)
