Mr. Cube

Blazej_Holen: That´s right. If we had about 10.000 votes (but 20.000 or 50.000 would be better), then we could get some attention from TLC. We still didn´t reach even the first thousand. I wonder why - the most of LEGO LotR fans still don´t know about the petition or there are not as many fans as we thought?

9470 Shelob Attacks

Robert_88: Yeah, that would have been nice. And there could be one "connecting" set like this - https://ideas.lego.com/projects/69033

That Barad-dûr is amazing, but thing like that will be never produced, because technically, it´s just bigger Orthanc.

"Elves in bakery producing Lembas Bread"

TheLegoDr: Because it´s petition and it should be transparent, we need real people to sign up the petition.

There is the responce to my e-mail: "Thanks for getting in touch with us. We are always happy to hear about our huge LEGO® fans. I am really glad to hear you are a big LEGO Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™ fan and that you were excited especially about the 1st wave of the series. We really do appreciate your time you took to share your feedback with us. I will make sure that your voice will be heard and will pass your email on our designer team. We know we’re lucky to have millions of fans around the world and we’re grateful for your comments. I think it’s great to see you’re eagerly waiting and trying to find out about what we’ve planned for the future. I'm sorry that I can’t tell you anything about the 3rd wave of the Lord of the Rings sets at the moment. Something like that might be coming soon, but our new toys are always kept secret until they’re announced in the catalogue or on LEGO.com. That’s because it takes a long time to design and make new toys, and we sometimes need every minute until they hit the shelves to make them perfect. Besides... we look forward to surprising you! Being a big LEGO fan myself, I can understand your eager and I really do apologize that I don't have any closer dates for you at the moment. Thanks again you took the time to let us know about your expectations and wishes. Comments like yours will help us get better and better at what we do, and I am sure our designer team will be happy to hear about your thoughts."

I have 105 Uruks (including 16 berserkers), about 10 Mordor/Hunter orcs, 10 Gundabad Orcs, 4 Goblins, 3 Moria Orcs...and 1 Azog and 1 Yazneg , 15 wargs, 9 Nazguls (finally!). I just bought the Helms Deep set, so I can finally make some battle scene...hmm (I should buy some Rohan soldiers...I have only 1 )

Signed.

I will sign up!

Just bought Helms Deep...finally! The set is opened, but the price was good.

I love this set too. I bought two. I have only one question - that "Hard to find" label was only on boxes in US? Because it wasn´t on my boxes (Europe). BTW Lurtz CAN have his hair piece on when he´s wearing the armor. It doesn´t 100% fits together, but it´s possible to have an armored Lurtz. Thank you for your review.

I just sent them an e-mail...

This is great! Very nice MOC. I like the bar area and how it all fits together.

79005 The Wizard Battle...just for the EYE

"Crebain from Dunland: Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Gandalf, a huge brick built rock for them to hide under, and several birds using the pet shop mold in black $25" dream set

OK, thx :)

Are you an employe, or it was discount for all? Thx.

Blazej_Holen: Tell me, WHERE in the Czech Republic is Orthanc in 50% discount?!? Congrats on your find!

Blakstone: Keep them closed. For a while....10 year maybe...then sell them.

0...I will just BL the minifigs. Sorry TLC.

I was optimistic, but now I´m starting to be more and more sceptic about the 3rd wave. But I still have the last hope - UCS Minas Tirith...it could cover all the important factions and characters (and one flying beast )that we are missing (the only exception is Balrog, or Treebeard for some AFOLs, but they are supposed to be brick-built, so we can start a contest who will make a better Balrog). Gondor soldiers, Faramir (+ Denethor), Witch King, Eowyn, Fellbeast...Merry and Pippin in their rohan and gondor outfits...that´s what we are waiting for. UCS Minas Tirith is not an army builder, of course. But as the last chance to get those figs and amazing city, this could be great finale of the Middle-Earth LEGO theme.

The eagle in the minifig box looks weird...no eagle was shown in the box art of Orthanc and Black Gate...so I hope those sets are unfinished. There could be some another molded creature (according to PJ, there will be some big war monsters on the bad side).

But can they do that? I mean, it would be great to have brickforge/brickwarriors Witch King mask and other stuff (i.e. uruk-hai general helmet, elf helmets...), but can they do that without the licence?

(+) new orcs (they look like gundabad face print on dark tan + mordor orc torso + new hairpiece) (+) Galadriel (!) (+) new Elrond (could be used as generic torso + legs for 2nd Age elf army) (+) new Thorin with crown (+) no Gandalf :D (-) no Beorn, no Bolg (-) no generic elf and dwarf soldier in armor (...it´s BATTLE of the five armies!) (-) orcs are without armor and helmet (-) another balista (-) the sets look a bit unfinished to me
