Dude... there's been another 70 signatures in a day, lol. It's still moving along. Repost, share... get your friends to sign it.

I touched base with Elessar over at TORn to let them know we hit 1000 supporters and this is the response: by "them" he means Lego. I'm not sure if they have other means of contacting Lego directly or not, but hey, we might be a step away from getting front page over at TORn!!!

The Hobbit has been covered VERY WELL. Sure, there are a couple Hobbit characters left out, but we're talking about Bolg & generic elf & dwarf soldiers. Compare that to LotR ... Sauron, Eowyn, Faramir, Witch King, Fell Beast, the Balrog, Treebeard, Gothmog, Guritz, Grishnakh, Denethor, Madril, Gamling, Hama, Gondor Soldiers, Gondor Archers, Haradrim, Easterlings, Oliphant, Elendil, Isildur, Gil-Galad ... and some serious locations like Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, Barad-dur, Amon Hen ... Sorry, but we already have a Rivendell set and are getting an Erebor set! The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few. If there's anything more, it would HAVE to be a final LotR wave or D2C set. And it's not a matter of liking one over the other, it's a matter of addressing which really NEEDS more.

I hope everyone realizes that once Lego's license expires, there will not be any more official LotR merchandise for a VERY VERY long time. So getting as many signatures onto this petition should be the top priority of every LotR & Lego LotR fan. I've already supported ALL the ideas I would buy, but like others have said, not one of those sets will get made. The Hobbit *almost* didn't get made due to licensing & rights... Lego's license is probably very strict. Our only saving grace is that they've already designed everything we want in the video game. So if it's in the game, it can be made.

I hate to say it, but getting Lego to put out a last LotR wave should be everyone's TOP priority as far as LotR collectibles are concerned. After their license is up, I GUARANTEE we will not see ANY official LotR merchandise (aside a Sideshow statue here or there) for a VERY VERY LONG TIME. Mark my words. So, post, repost, update, get your friends and anyone else to sign that petition.

We'll, DUH ... Wave 2 LotR SUCKED! Would kids want Rivendell over Balrog battle? Hell no! Black Gate (a black wall basically) with a dude only in extended edition of film for 1 minute over Witch King on his Fell Beast dragon doing battle with Eowyn & Merry, all in full battle armor? OH HELL NO! A boat that's in like 2 minutes of the whole trilogy over Minas Tirith with Faramir & Gondor Soldiers... I can't fault Wizard Battle even though it was stupid that it came in Orthanc. Not many kids can throw down $200. But it *could* have been Prologue Sauron, Elendil and Isildur -- -- -- I mean seriously, who made the decisions for these sets? Did they watch the film? If I was a little boy, ALL I'd want from: FotR would be the BALROG, Prologue Battle, Weathertop (nice set), Mines of Moria (nice set) and Amon Hen TTT - everything we got plus Treebeard RotK - part of Osgiliath, part of Minas Tirith, the Witch King & Fell Beast, Faramir, Eowyn, the Black Gate set we got but with 2 towers to make a real gate (duh!!!!), Selob (great set), Battle Trolls, Oliphants, Haradrim, Easterlings, Grond ... I'd want to recreate the cool parts of the film, not the Extended Edition 2 seconds of crap that really didn't have much to do with the film at all. The people at TLG need to wake up! Blame yourself, LEGO, for poor sales ... You put out a crap wave 2 for LotR. And now your customers are left short changed. Do the right thing here!!! My post was in response to this post: I'm on mobile version... Lol

I couldn't agree more with this post. Especially the Hobbit getting much better coverage and the Blue Snaggs/Vader reference. I have responded to Elessar over at tORn forum directly with info & links to both the petition and the Facebook page. Fingers are crossed, if the front page & Facebook the petition, we might have a shot hitting a high enough # for TLG to take notice

Awesome! I hope we can get some of the other big sites to take notice. Maybe http://www.cooltoyreview.com - http://www.ActionFigs.com - http://www.figures.com ???

Can anyone else email TheOneRing.net or message them on Facebook about the petition? I haven't heard back from them. If we can get that on the front page of that site... we will get a LOT more supporters!

It's temporarily out of stock. It says more arriving September 23. So probably pre-order.

I am only interested in Nick sets... F that movie crap. What I am hoping for ... the Season 3 Turtle Van more than anything else (I posted pics of the toy prototype a few pages back), Casey Jones, Newtralizer, Slash & Tigerclaw. A Technodrome playset would be awesome too.

Agreed. Nearly 500 in just a couple days by word of mouth is amazing. That speaks for itself. Imagine any of the major websites picked up on it? I tried emailing TheOneRing.net but never heard back. I don't even know if they got it.

Well then get to work ...

Almost 500 supporters in just a few days! Keep sharing, posting, updating... we need more supporters. Keep at it.

I just saw this DeskP ... WOW, amazing!!! I would love to get this!

THIS. I can't even begin to tell you how asinine it is to get those 4 lame sets over the Balrog, Witch King/Fell Beast/Eowyn, and a couple Gondor sets with Faramir/Gondor Soldiers/Gothmog It really makes me angry, because time and time again (Toy Biz 6" line, Art Asylum Mini Mates, and even The Bridge Direct) Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth is the ONE brand that always gets cut short and dies a sad premature death. Luckily, they will be at NYCC, so I will have the chance to voice my opinion in person.

Yup, I remember TLG saying something to that effect as well.

Signed and shared in multiple places. Rebelscum Lego forum as well. I think we really need to get to at least 1000 as quickly as possible.

Everyone, please go sign the petition to save Lego LotR ... https://www.change.org/p/save-lego-the-lord-of-the-rings

THANK YOU. SIGNED & SHARED! Also, I emailed the great people over at http://www.TheOneRing.net asking them to share on the site and their Facebook page.

Thank you Carlos. Much appreciated. I said it WAY back when the first set of images appeared. This wave looks great. Sure it's not perfect and exactly everything everyone here wanted, but all in all - The Hobbit got a really great representation of sets for the movies. I just REALLY wish we could say the same for LotR...

EVERYONE HERE NEEDS TO CONTACT LEGO. I have emailed them several times. I have gone onto their Facebook page and posted. If I'm the ONLY one... then who cares. Don't bitch about this here alone and expect change... Go and let Lego know how you feel directly! Reach out to them. Email, phone, Facebook, hand written letter . . .

If the LotR line is indeed done, then sadly the bulk of my Lego collecting days are done as well. After the 4 Hobbit sets, there's really not much more I want to collect outside of the odd set here or there. Maybe a Star Wars or TMNT set... But LotR is where my heart lies. It's so sad, and pathetic, Lego wimped out on this line. They did such a great job on wave 1. It was so good that even though they had the ability to live up to it with wave 2, they truly fell far short. Orthanc is an amazing set, but I'd have glady gotten a Balrog, Witch King Showdown, Treebeard and Siege of Minas Tirith in it's place. What a way to let us all down Lego.

Yeah, open it. Enjoy it... make a sweet diorama or battle scene... keep the box & instructions tho...

My list: Lord of the Rings... The Balrog - brick built Treebeard - brick built Sauron - brick built like X-men Sentinel or Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Armored Witch King Fell Beast (molded like in posters & game cover) Faramir - either ranger or soldier Eowyn - Rohan armor Merry - Rohan armor Pippin - Gondor Armor Gothmog (just do an image search for "lego gothmog") Madril Gondor - either rangers or soldiers Elendil Isildur Battle Troll Hobbit... Iron Hill Dwarves Armored Mirkwood Elves Bolg
