Now that I have seem the actual torso heraldry, I am very pleased. The Crown is by far still one of my favorite designs, and it will be good to be able to build the army even more after several years.

I am absolutely loving the Corsair ship, it is a true ship of a different type than the conventional square rigging. I also think it will go very well alongside the older Troll Warship.

I am honestly torn, since I army built extensively with the Crown armies. I am curious how similar the coloration will be with the Lion nights in this new theme, and if they might blend easily, coloration wise.

I was thinking Gandalf's torso, paired with a dark bluish gray hood piece.

I actually have to agree a little, it was the weakest of the Dark Knight Trilogy, but I wouldn't say mediocre. @PhillipJFry, I worked with the film blowing up the football stadium. I actually like the size of the Tumbler, it is about appropriate to scale for a person.

Normally, I wouldn't buy this, but this is the first film I've worked on that now has a LEGO set from it, so I am probably looking at buying two, one to build, and one to box.

Diagon Alley.

Just so I grasp it fully, we are collectively sure that the insignia will be a light blue, dark blue, and gold Lion faction, and a red and black Wolf faction?

And now that we have confirmation, I am glad the funds are starting to be put away. I want that Orthac! Also, it will finally allow for a play for all of my Uruk-Hai and Mordor Orcs to congregate.

Don't forget that the CEO in 2001-2004 was still in the founding family. I think that has more to do with business practices and goals than anything else.

Well, it looks like I should start putting money away now. 2013 might be my most expensive year for LEGO yet.

I am torn on the new sets, as I army built mostly with the Fantasy era, so while the colors are the same, the livery is different. I am withholding judgement fully until new pictures, with more details are up.

I realized that I do need to pick up multiples of the Cavalry set, as upon a recent re-watching of Return of the King, I realized that Theoden rides a white horse. I never thought the Lone Ranger would let me expand my LOTR.

With there being an Eagle in the Black Gate, that means a Battle of the Five Armies is possible!

HUZZAH! I could not have said it better myself.

You mean, not everyone dreams of fielding massive armies of ABS troops to do battle?

After seeing the pictures, I am impressed, and am looking forward to all of them. I am actually very accepting of the fact there will be only 4 sets, as my wallet is crying every so slightly after the first wave of LOTR and the Hobbit. Now that we have all of the essential characters for both films, I am glad to see them exploring other minor characters. While all of them are going to be bought, I have to agree the Black Gate is my probable favorite, with more orcs, and an Eagle, this might be a multiple purchase for me as the Uruk Hai Army was before it.

Best? I think I need to go with Theoden, if only for the armor. Worst? So. Many. Options. The Mandalorians have to go here. It's like a worse version of the Clone Trooper head.

The thing about this set is that I really want it for Nick Fury more than anything else. Then again, I have a thing for most movies with Samuel L. Jackson. The car looks great, and I am curious how it will look next to she S.H.I.E.L.D. Jeep.

I think I might skip out on buying the whole line, but I know I am getting multiples of the Cavalry, For a low price, 3 army building figures, the new horse and saddle, and a few palisade bricks? I'd be a fool not to get at least 2-3.

It is a toss up for me in between the "Gungan style" and "Hutt Sex" for my favorite of the funnies.

Another Endor Battlepack, and the Elite Clone Battlepack, both at 50% off for me.

Is that a new print for Yoda as well?

Thank you for the review. For some reason, I feel like this set is rather disjointed, rather like the LOTR Mines of Moria. Would it be horrible to have things as a cohesive whole?

With the combination of orcs and dwarfs, this is a must buy set for me. I fear I will end up with little more than a forest if I end up getting the entire range.
