Among the many prototypes on display at Lego Canada's booth at this year's Canadian Toy & Hobby Fair were a new set of Mindstorms programmable robots and construction sets for two new science fiction brands. Power Miners is a series of fantasy machines that dig down into the earth to discover rock creatures and Space Police, a futuristic battle between law enforcement agents and the outlaws who try to escape their capture.

When you enter the Lego booth, this large sculpture of one of the new Power Miner characterss greets you with light-up eyes.

In additions to offering new shapes for you to build with the new Mindstorms set, including an alligator that can walk and snap at anything its motion sensors detect, the set now includes a colour sensor that lets you build robots that can sort a set of balls by their colour (or shoot them across the room too).
