sidersdd Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 All the figs from all the available sets are now posted: Not sure when I'll get to the one-off requests. I need to catch up on all sorts of things I've been putting off while I shoot these figs.

I need to catch up on all sorts of things I've been putting off while I shoot these figs. Thank you for all of the pictures that you've provided for us! I appreciate the one of Gandalf with Elizabeth's wig; I think it would look magnificent on him. You know, aside from the whole colour & beard issue.
prozac Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I was just thinking: Is there a set release date for Lego products at Toys R Us? At one Toys R Us, I was told the LOTR sets would be out on Friday, but at another, they had them, they just couldn't release them. most of the TRUs around here have them all except Helms Deep
Sirtank Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I received my Orc Forge from Target's website today, and also got the Gollum poster. The poster was attached to the back of the box with a small amount of rubber cement.
Sirtank Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Over all I am very pleased with the first round of sets. I have them all but Helms Deep so far. Weathertop is a big disapointment as it is such a poor value, yet has minifigures that make me want to buy multiples of the set. The Ring wraiths and horses are fantastic, I really would love to get 9 of them, but can't imagine spending that much on buying more weathertops. Edited May 15, 2012 by Sirtank
deskp Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 left pic from set, right pic from box. I know its been mentioned but I'd like to add a picture aswell, I prefer the version on the. box
Insane Ostrich Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Can't wait till this arrives around here. Most dutch stores that list them already either have no date or anything ranging from the end of june to the end of september. Guess I'll just have to be patient...
Dane Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Well sitting in Denmark not far from where the factory 24/7 is producing these fantastic sets that now are released on the US marked, it can be hard to understand why we here have to wait 1-2 months longer to get our hands on them, but when we do, I hope that we at least get the same quality product as our friends in the US when the time comes... Here I'm thinking specific on getting the chrome gold ring and even 3 of them in the boxes, because seeing this image from the manual (ring looks to be in pearl gold) makes one think of LEGO's plans and the "case of the chrome gold vs pearl gold bar" of the PotC sets last year...

Legonardo Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Hi again does anyone know the release dates/prices for New Zealand? I'm still curios to know
Yope Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Thanks for the pics sidersdd, they're great! Would it be at all possible to see some of the figures all together, I'd love to see what an orc/uruk-hai army is going to look like and a group photo of the fellowship would be awesome too!
Philip Robin Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Over all I am very pleased with the first round of sets. I have them all but Helms Deep so far. Weathertop is a big disapointment as it is such a poor value, yet has minifigures that make me want to buy multiples of the set. The Ring wraiths and horses are fantastic, I really would love to get 9 of them, but can't imagine spending that much on buying more weathertops. You could just buy from bricklink! I'm sure they'll have stuff in a few weeks' time.
Lynx Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Hi again does anyone know the release dates/prices for New Zealand? I'm still curios to know I've asked LEGO via Twitter about the release date and prices for Australia. I received a reply saying that stores are expected to have the sets by mid to late June. My question about the prices was ignored. I suspect it should be a similar release date for Middle Earth... errrr New Zealand.
Alldarker Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 No, quite often this one is first, but they list no shipping dates yet (and it is the most expensive one). The one I usually place my orders at will only have them in August. Pff. Once these are out on general release in the USA (in June) and prices have come down, I'll most probably be importing them all. Even with customs duties over the price + shipping, it'll most probably be more cost-effective to import them. I've grown tired with Lego Europe's current delay in set releases AND higher prices and I will stand for it no more. I already imported all the Prince of Persia sets back when they came out in the US, several months ahead of the European release. Worked a charm.
Niku Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Is there any review of Helm´s Deep? I have seen almost all reviews from this wave except HD.
GRogall Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Here are all of the new and some old HR images of all of the LOTR sets All images link to +2400.pxl version! 9469 Gandalf Arrives 9470 Shelob Attacks 9471 Uruk Hai Army 9472 Attack On Weathertop 9473 The Mines of Moria 9474 The Battle Of Helms Deep 9476 LotR Orc Forge Ok thats all of them Enjoy! :classic: Cause I'm tired and will do SW tomorrow!

Cammo Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I thought this might interest you guys: The sets are available at lego.com http://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Lord-of-the-Rings-ByTheme

Considering I have a ton of VIP points. I think I'll wait until my local LEGO store carries these, so I can save on shipping.
prozac Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I picked up helms deep, moria, weathertop, and 2 more uruk sets today at tru. Had a 20% off coupon which brought most or them to a few dollars below retail. Not sure when I'll have time to put them all together tho lol!
Blaze Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Does anyone know what the shipping fares would be if I ask someone in the us to buy a couple of lotr sets for me and then send them to me in Holland?
