Thanks for clearing that up for us Black Rat, oh and welcome to EB :-)

Thanks for the news and the great review, BR! Glad to hear the hair is interactive with other headgear! I can see it already, old men with long hair wearing baseball caps! :-P Ok, maybe that's a bit over the edge, but still, lucky find! *y*

Probably make some pretty cool rock band groupies though... X-D

I just thought that If you get the Black Beard you can make Edward Teach (BlackBeard)!

Woot! *pirate*

BETTER! :-D That'd be a hit... Although the beards just aren't quite long enough to make the ZZ Top! :-P

I need to go to target for some cleaning junk anyway, looks like I'll be making a detour to the lego aisle.

:-P Where are you located? And while I'm at it, where are you, Brick Rat, located? Just wondering so I can get an idea of when and in what countries/states these exclusives will be popping up in.

Will do a full review tonight. Have a huge project to finish for a client. Until then here is a thorough pictorial review of the figs

*says to self* Remind me to read Hinckley's review! Ok, now I know the set is out in Illinois. That means it can only travel further east! YAY! Btw, Hinckley, do you have the Tie Crawler? In the event that you hate it and you would never go near it, is it in your local Target(s)?

edit: why can't the giant troll move its legs. this sucks. :-P waste of a good "duplo" mf i tell ya! :-P

Thanks for these pics. Looking foward to the review Hinckley! *sweet* I bet you're very happy to have that troll eh?

I got mine from Target. The guy at the store said they are on the corporate end cap map...so he assumes that all stores in the US should have them this weekend. Scroll up to see pics of the figs *wub*

No, although I used to live right there on Sacramento and Whipple!

I got mine in Valparaiso IN off of route 49 and 2.

Thank you for the pics Hinckley. *y* :-D The dwarves look good, the little trolls look good, the big troll looks a bit duplo, but that doesn't matter.

Are the faces of the dwarves special, or the same as the crown guys?

edit: oh, what was the price? On lowlug somebody said it was maybe something like 40 euro, what would be a good price.

edit 2: Could you please make a picture of a dwarf without a helmet but with beard on?

Edited October 5, 200717 yr by Wout

hmm... those beards and helmet with wings will be very useful for viking and gaul minifigs. I'd have to have the other helmet in my hand and on a minifig without beard to see its full potential...

TT

I'm in Charlotte, N.C. Got mine at the Stonecrest Target. Last night there were 8 sets on the shelf when I bought 2 copies. This afternoon when I was there, I checked again to see if anymore had sold and they had 8 copies on the shelf again. Since only 8 sets will fit on the shelf, they must have sets in the stockroom waiting to be put out. The TIE Crawler however, only had 4 copies on the shelf last night when I bought one copy. Today there were still only 3 on the shelf, so evidently no backstock on that set.

Thank you very much for these great and wonderful pics, hinckley! *y*

Simply beautiful! That biggie

I'm piratically crying in envy... :'-) ... Sort of. I look forward to your review, Hinckley!

Is the troll basically all one piece, or does he come apart? In your review, could you please take a picture of a dwarf with his beard but without the helmet?

Does anyone know if these are going to be available at Wal*Mart or Toys R Us? There are no Targets near me. :-(

I guess that these new figures and accessories

the torsos and faces are nothing new. They are literally the Viking torsos and faces from the army builder set...
