Mr. Cube

Blazej_Holen: Yeah, that would be nice...and then some extra wave with battle-packs of each faction :)

Mount Doom can be easily build of bricks, so I vote again for Rohan (unique molds, prints, maybe new weapons).

Well, I think that the best looking set is Lake-town Chase, it has the atmosphere like in the film, nice new minifigures, molds and new prints (Thorin). But I bought Dol Guldur Ambush, just for the orcs with the headpiece. I would like to buy another (or a couple of DGA sets), but what will I do with multiple Beorns? Same story is the MEA and Thranduil, DGB has great minifigures, but the design of the set is not "must buy" at all. So I vote for Lake-town Chase, even when I didn´t buy that set yet.

According to brickset.com those are the Hobbit sets. But the missing 79016 is interesting.

Brickset.com: There are 3 sets for 2014.

What? This is NOT crappy design...this is IMHO the only way how TLG could create Minas Tirith. BTW do you like LEGO Helms Deep? Because you could say that that version of Helms Deep makes the actual Helms Deep a huge shame...but those are LEGO sets..not realistic models from the films...

This is very beautiful MOC. If I was a kid, I would love that! (and dreaming about getting this for x-mas).

I ordered 40 Uruk-hai for my army and some LOTR/Hobbit minifigs for my collection via BL.

Great review! And about that european price, in Czech Republic it costs about € 29, if somebody´s interested.

Hahah, I would like to live in Europe and have US prices of LEGO and gas ))) Years ago, I was playing and collecting Magic: The Gathering trading card game, and there were the same differences in US and Europe (especially Czech) prices. But as Deathleech said, some things are much more expensive in US.

Rohan Battle Pack.

Bridge of Khazad-Dum (Balrog, Gandalf, 2 Moria Orcs) Mirror of Galadriel (Frodo, Galadriel) Witch King Battle (Éowyn, Théoden, Merry, Witch King + Fell Beast) The End of All Things (Sam, Frodo, Gollum + part of Mount Doom) Battle at Pellenor Fields UCS Minas Tirith Isengard battle pack Mordor battle pack Rohan battle pack Gondor battle pack

Well, I bought ONE Dol Guldur Ambush :))

About that Treebeard...that is LEGO VIDEOGAME TREEBEARD. We also have videogame Moria Orcs and in reality we get them without armor and helmets and shield...I know that the Orthanc Ent is named just as Ent, bud I think it´s Treebeard.

Guldor...Guldar...it´s GULDUR!

Deathleech: I have an idea for action Mirror of Galadriel set. Light brick (blue) under the transparent mirror + mechanism like that one in 79006 Council of Elrond set.

Very very nice :)

Blazej_Holen: Maias --> Maiar Deathleech: I didn´t see the 2nd Hobbit yet, but I always thought that the lego Dol Guldur Battle set represents some scenery inside/under the ruins of Dol Guldur, so that´s why we didn´t get the whole ruins (like the whole Helms Deep)?

That orc looks like Fester from Addams Family.

Polybag with old Bilbo and his writer´s corner in LotR 3rd wave would be nice. And Sauron fig (with Woodys legs) only as a limited promo. In physical form, he appeared only in the prologue, so some exklusive polybag with Sauron (like Elrond) would be accurate. But there is no need to get a set with Sauron, IMO.

Nice MOC. I think that white or some one-color background would be better in this case.

Amon Hen Ambush seems useless to me. We already have Boromir, Merry and Uruk-hai. Instead of that I would prefer Bridge of Khazad-dûm with Gandalf (yes, another), Balrog and 2 Moria orcs with new helmets and armor.

Prices in the Czech Republic: 79011 about 540,- CZK (26 USD / 19,75 EUR) 79012 about 750,- CZK (37,30 USD / 27,43 EUR) 79013 about 1200,- CZK (59,70 USD / 43,90 EUR) 79014 about 1600,- CZK (79,57 USD / 58,52 EUR)

I´ll buy just 79014 and 79011. And other figs through BL. They could work more on Azog minifigure, IMO. I don´t like his tiny arms vs. his muscular torso, it looks strange to me. But other figs are great, I´m glad that they made Radagast...and Gundabad Orcs are also nice.

That corner technique is great + I like the floor.
