It's probably the earliest they could fit it into production. But I think it's
expected to hear about the sets now. From my understanding, everyone's anxious
to get their toys shown at the Toy Fair (in Q1) so that manufacturers are eager
to pick them up later in the year. So everyone tries as best they can to get
previews ready and show them off, which just means we're teased early.

There's a couple things like that that make me kinda sad. Like them having the
Viking sets only available in Europe (the flipside being that the 'Dino Attack'
theme or whatnot is only going to be in the US, not that I'm as much of a fan of
that). It's kind of a shame that European kids seem to be more on par with
AFOL's tastes (or, at least with my tastes).
