Those figures look great! Thanks for the pics.

The only one I'm a bit skeptic about is Gandalf - I'd want to change his hat to sand blue and give him hair as well.

Other than that he's just great.

Also, I don't know if anyone else has seen news of the leak,

but the LEGO LOTR videogame is scheduled for release on October 26th of this year.

I stopped at my local TRU this morning, but no LOTR yet

There was an employee stocking the LEGO aisle, but when I asked, it was obvious he'd never even heard of the LOTR sets, let alone seen them. He started telling me that it would be 2 or 3 months before a new set came out, so I explained that they're already at TRU online and in some stores. All he could say was "Well, I don't have them yet!"

sidersdd, thanks a lot for the photo correction! A sigh of relief for a Rohan fan. ;) Gandalf looks also better - not as good as on the box, but good enough to buy the set, after all.

Those CGI pictures with tick boxes of all the mini figures are also much appreciated!

General Magma, thanks for the video game release date! My wife and I liked the LEGO Star Wars games, so this will be a definite pick-up.

Our Spies in Mordor have found this:

Our Spies in Mordor have found this:

Oooh, that's a nifty little page! Any information regarding where that can be found? It looks like an instruction manual.

Siderss has better pictures of those already. It's nice to see every figure, though.

That minifig page is great. I love Boromir fighting the goblin, and Frodo wrestling Gollum for the Ring is pretty cool.

Also, at sidersdd, if you could take a picture of Éomer with Elizabeth Swann's hair, I would like to see how it looks on him.

Yeah, the pages with all the minifigs are from the instruction books from the sets. I posted the ones from the Uruk-hai Army set on my flickr feed. (The 2nd one is a little blurry. I need to rescan it.)

I'll try and remember to do that tonight.

Ohh, I'll have to check that out! Thank you for the infor, sidersdd.

It think my favourite is the orc attacking the Uruk with a shovel

Probably you guys in here already know that, but I'm not a history guy so:

Came from a reliable Dutch geek site.

I posted about this in the LOTR thread.

Shouldn't this go elsewhere?

Ok, it wasn't the best picture. And neither are these

>picture x2<

they are still pictures though!

getting more and more exited about these (possibly a bad idea as I probably won't be able to afford them )

Ok, I know you all are anxious to get your hands on these sets, but without reading through thousands of responses, I'm curious about a second wave and if it will contain elf battle packs (like a supplement to Helms Deep).

I doubt we'll know before the end of the year... the next wave of Middle-Earth sets puts The Hobbit in the spotlights.

Does anyone know when these sets are going to be released in Holland? I can't wait to get my hands on the sets.

I found amazon.de a quite reliable source for European release dates. They have all sets listed for June 23. Not sure if this applies to Holland.

Mines of Moria set in-hand now. LOTS of stickers with this set. Cave troll is nice. Gimli's helmet is sweet. Photos will come tonight.

Sounds great! Can't wait to see them!

Looking forward to see them! If you wouldn't mind doing me another favour, could you also upload a photo of Eomer without cape and one of the Rohan soldier with the cape, please?

Great pictures, Pandora!

Also, I have a question for sidersdd. Can the Ring fit IN (not ON, like a stud) a minifig hand? It would be cool if Frodo could hold the Ring like is shown in his CGI picture on the official website.

Yes, if held vertically it can fit in the hand, just tested with one of the rings in the Weathertop set Ecclesiastes is currently building at the EB Event in Billund.

I'm really excited about the game.
