Mr. Cube

Great compilation! There will be at least one another version of Tony Stark/Iron Man in 2019: https://brickset.com/article/42599/avengers-tower-gwp-revealed-in-spain

They reused them for Geonosis Clone Troopers, but in different color with different print.

Well, they did it with the 75166 battle pack too (TFA Stormies x TLJ Stormies)...but this change is bigger. Strange move from Lego.

Well, they are very similar, so it does fit, IMHO. And it´s movie-accurate, after all. I just take it as a slightly different design of FO Stormie helmet - I can live with that.

New mold? I think that they´ve used mold for Mimban Stormtrooper helmet.

It´s not as simple as that. We do not know what exactly was in the licence contract. Maybe just 2 LotR + 2 The Hobbit waves were planned, but this has to be changed after The Hobbit became trilogy, so they did 3 Hobbit waves instead.

Are there some official sources for this? All I´ve found are just some speculations and AFOLs opinions. I think that there still is a chance for one or few big exclusive sets of iconic builds/locations (like micro Hogwarts) with the most famous/desirable characters.

I would say proper dwarf feet, because hobbits are shorter than dwarves. So we finally can have all 3 kinds of legs for hobbits (short), dwarves (medium) and humans/elves/etc. (standard). http://static.alfabetajuega.com/abj_public_files/multimedia/imagenes/201303/35035.infografia_hobbit_recorte.jpg

They do. e.g. 79009.

Are those updated FO stormtroopers really from the FO speeder BP? Because this could be easily done with brasso aplicated on FO Executioner helmet. It would be nice to see some recent unboxing video as a proof.

"New FO Stormtroopers in the speeder battlepack" - what battlepack do you mean?

The torso is also slightly different.

...and I saw this and that Weathertop on Aukro.cz :) Was it created by you or you just bought it?

That shield is great piece. There is my custom Mordor Orc.

JakeChambers: My last hope were the Dimensions sets. Instead of updated Gimli and Legolas they could bring us some of the most desired characters - Sauron, Éowyn and generic Gondor Soldier.

I don´t think that there will be some return of the LotR/Hobbit theme. But we can create some MOCs with the existing pieces. And some new pieces are very interesting, like this new shield from LEGO Elves:

Maybe because of this:

And this is perfect for Morannon Orcs:

It was popular, but IMHO mainly among minifig collectors/LotR-Hobbit fans and AFOLS, not kids. And many AFOLS were dissapointed with the 2nd Lotr wave.It existed just for a couple of years because of the Hobbit trilogy. And about high prices - the prices of the retired products rise up... ...I´m still missing Blue Coat Bilbo from Blu-Ray...59€

Well, even the first pirates had smiley faced heads (with some additional prints - beard, moustache...) and I think that everybody will agree that they were "bad guys". For me, the Dragon Masters are separated "rebel" sub-faction of Black Knights.

Stupid finale. Orthanc itself is a great set, but Gondor faction, Balrog and Witch-king + Fellbeast are still missing.

Hello! Thank you for the comments! There are some photos of the final MOC:

Thank you for all replies! I´m glad that you like my MOC. MAB: Yes, brown Rohan helmets are from Jimmy´s store ;) original LEGO helmets just without printing. Deathleech: I have about 130 uruks + berserkers total (including 17 berserkers), in this MOC there are about 100 uruks + u-h berserkers. If I remember that correctly, I bought 16 berserkers sometimes in 2013 from one BL store, which had them for a good price, I bought also many uruks from that shop, it was pretty cheap (just heads, torsos and legs...the rest of the equipment I bougt from another sellers). There are some final photos, mostly details:

Hello! I just finished my new MOC from the Middle-Earth world. It captures the scene from the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, shortly after the explosion of the deeping wall. I made it for one LEGO exposition there in Czech Rep. These photos were taken after I finished the MOC, the quality is not as good as I wanted, but in next few weeks I will upload better photos from the exposition. I hope you enjoy this.
