Cammo Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Oh my god and look how tall is that building compared to the Helm's Deep! I also have the impression to see an ENT! How tall would the Orthanc tower be? BTW is that the Flying Dutchman on the left?
narbilu Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 And all of a sudden there are prices mentioned on the german website... Bag's End € 79,99 Mystery of the Ring € 12,99 Fleeing from the Mirkwood spiders € 29,99 Attack of the Warg € 59,99 Cave of the King € 99,99 Speculation or inside info?
Vindice Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Those set names sound plausible enough. Time will tell I suppose but I definitely see a Balrog and Orthanc in our future and possibly an Ent too.
narbilu Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Those set names sound plausible enough. Time will tell I suppose but I definitely see a Balrog and Orthanc in our future and possibly an Ent too. But those will be LOTR and not "The Hobbit" sets.
Legonardo Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Those set names sound plausible enough. Time will tell I suppose but I definitely see a Balrog and Orthanc in our future and possibly an Ent too. I have been doubting a balrog set as we already had the mines set. however if what the German site says is true then this will be the second spider in the series, so that may be possible!
Hive Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I have been doubting a balrog set as we already had the mines set. ...from which Gandalf was missing. Perhaps to save him for a Balrog set to be used as an "add-on" to the Moria set? It could have roughly the same size as the Shelob set. I'm shocked to see that this new Bag End set doesn't cost more than Weathertop, as it seems full of so many more new molds and colors. Weathertop seems like a less impressive deal now, compared to this.

Man, Bag's End is expensive The mystery of the Ring is probably the scene where Bilbo meets Gollum right? So the trolls won't make an appearance in the set. Not that I'm complaining about the scenes they chose. Now I'm actually glad they paused the PotC license because it will be an expensive year for me with all these upcoming great sets from LOTR, the Hobbit and the Superheroes theme.
Lynx Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 The mystery of the Ring is probably the scene where Bilbo meets Gollum right? Yes. I suppose it has been literally translated from German and should rather read "Riddles in the Dark" (as the chapter name in The Hobbit) or something similar including riddles. Looking forward to Bag End and the Orc King most. I hope those orcs will look like the Moria Orcs. A couple more of those and a leader would be great!
MrBaggins Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Dunno wether it has been posted yet, but here are some more angels: FLiCKR
KristofBD Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 any news on the two other dwarfs that appeared in the first blurry pics?
deskp Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 any news on the two other dwarfs that appeared in the first blurry pics? Its Nori and Thorin, but i've not been able to find any other pictures of them.

lightningtiger Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Has anyone else noticed that the roof on Bag End is removable like in a creator/city/modular set ?
Masked Builder Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I'm definitely in on Bag End for $60, quite worth it. Not sure about the price for the Warg set...
purpleparadox Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 In reality, there is no back wall to be built anyway. The back is the actual hill the hobbit hole was made from. Just like for Helm's Deep, we couldn't expect Lego to sell us a mountain... I never thought of it in that perspective. When you put it like that, you're right! It makes sense to disclude a back. But...now I feel a need to MOC the whole mountain with Bag End built in!
CM4Sci Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 That pretzel's cool. It's also being used in Minifigures Series 8 pics I posted. -Sci
djmangunz Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 So based on what we know about Bag End's price point and the cost of the LOTR line here is my speculation on the prices for each set: Mystery of the ring $13 Mirkwood Spiders $30 Exclusive(Target?) $40 An Unexpected Gathering $60 Warg Attack $80 Gobblin King $120 Any thoughts?

deskp Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Some better views on Nori and Thorin, Nori especialy, His hair/beardpiece looks neat Click for bigger. I saw them replacing the figures on a livestream. other people were taking phone pictures while they were still there. Hopefully some of them will make it online! The fact that they have the figures at comic con should mean they'll show them off at some point properly.
MrBaggins Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Nori's hairpeace looks great, but the color is totally In the movie its brown and not reddish!!! Some better views on Nori and Thorin, Nori especialy, His hair/beardpiece looks neat Click for bigger. EDIT: Many thanks for the picture, please continue updating Edited July 13, 2012 by MrBaggins

Assuming the German prices are correct: And all of a sudden there are prices mentioned on the german website... Bag's End € 79,99 Mystery of the Ring € 12,99 Fleeing from the Mirkwood spiders € 29,99 Attack of the Warg € 59,99 Cave of the King € 99,99 Speculation or inside info? the only problem I see with your speculations is the Warg Attack price. How can that be more expensive than Bag End if we know Bag End = $60/€80 and Warg = ??/€60.
deskp Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Nori's hairpeace looks great, but the color is totally In the movie its brown and not reddish!!! Well redish brown would work better, the color they are using seems to be dark orange. Dark brown wouldn't work cause his torso is that. Edited July 13, 2012 by deskp
Edmond Dantes Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) Those set names sound plausible enough. Time will tell I suppose but I definitely see a Balrog and Orthanc in our future and possibly an Ent too. While certainly possible, I would base no speculation on that giant picture. Just look to the far right at all the Star Wars sets on the shelves - many of those don't actually exist. So, apply the same reasoning to the LoTR sets in the background...
