deskp Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 If, and I say if, the Warg set be introduced... I am hoping not too many ionic characters will be in the set, so it will be a sort of battle box, as the Uruk Hai Army. Wouldn't it be cool if it contains: - Warg (or 2) - 2 or 3 orcs - Eagle and one or 2 movie characters I didn't think there were orcs in the warg scene in the first part of the book.
Pate-keetongu Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I didn't think there were orcs in the warg scene in the first part of the book. There were orcs, they came later and set the trees where heroes where hiding into fire. They also sang a song about fifteen birds on the five trees.

These would be good sets to add in the lesser known (or smaller role) Dwarves, because it would help complete the Dwarf party without devoting too much to them.

narbilu Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I doubt there would be an eagle. Maybe brick built.

Spider-Man Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Wow that looks pretty neat! Thanks for the pic Gandalf's brick build hat looks pretty good on him Edited July 19, 2012 by Spider-Man
Darth Hagrid Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Gandalf's brick build hat looks pretty good on him Definitely a step up from Sensei Wu's hat from the Ninjago game.
BigHobbit Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Fantastic! It looks like you're trying to find certain characters in the Hobbit houses. I like the rune detail on the door tiles.
purpleparadox Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 I might be buying multiples of this, as parts packs! All of the tiles look useful. The rest'll make for good landscaping. Thank you Lego! Oh, and thanks for posting the pic, Darth Hagrid.

Please continue discussion of the game in that thread in the Special Themes Forum. Also, please only deeplink pictures that are 800x600 pixels or smaller as per the Site Guidelines. Thank you.
deskp Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Click for bigger image. If that is Gloin, then both the use of that hairpiece and the design of the beard is abit dissapointing, there should be more "braid" things in the beard. The only reason he would have that hairpice seperatly instead of a hair/beard piece in one, would be that at some point he will be wearing some other headwear(helmet?). Either way he doesent look enough like his movie counterpart. (I'm getting tired of the Dastan hair piece where is just kindof fits) BTW: The map being part of the game... Does that mean it will be printed? Edited July 19, 2012 by deskp

Here: http://images.wikia.com/lego/images/4/4d/PTRU1-13020288enh-z6.jpg It was posted on the previous page, aswell as quoted in the post before mine It might be that the ginger dwarf is supposed to be some generic dwarf. The hair I guess is what Kili will use, the mustace is an awfull lot like Bombur, the side mustache "braids" looks like Gloin and the beard part's shape looks like Balin I hope this is the case, but if it isn't it will be Gloin out of the 13. EDIT: I am 99% sure that is some generic dwarf compiled of other dwarves. Edited July 19, 2012 by deskp
Vindicare Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 So, it's been awhile since I've watched the series. What does 9476 Orc Forge represent?
Artanis I Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 So, it's been awhile since I've watched the series. What does 9476 Orc Forge represent? Underneath Isengard when Saruman gets his orcs to pull down the forest and "build an army worthy of Mordor". They forge heaps of weapons and create uruk-hai. Shown mostly in the 1st movie (completely flooded at the end of the 2nd)

Can do one of my favourite scenes from the TT the Warg rider battle.

Flobnomdob Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone notice the impossible connection between the hobbit-hole roof and the dwarf picture underneath? Could be a new part...
Clone OPatra Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone notice the impossible connection between the hobbit-hole roof and the dwarf picture underneath? Could be a new part... Are you talking about the upside-down tiles, tiles with studs on top? Those debuted and are currently exclusive to the Ninjago Samurai Mech.
Missing Brick Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Heads up for UK readers: Just had verbal confirmation that the LOTR sets will be onsale in official Lego Stores tomorrow (Saturday July 21st). I know limited stocks have been available from Argos UK for some weeks now, but of course Lego Store purchases have the advantage of the 5% VIP points discount - and the 10% off voucher you should have received on your VIP members mag. So maybe worth a visit this weekend.
The_Chosen_1 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I don't recall seeing this mentioned anywhere, but the URL thehobbit.lego.com is now live. It's just a teaser site for now, but still pretty neat!

It's just a teaser site for now, but still pretty neat! Thanks! Nice seeing them using the image of a real minifigure. Hopefully this means it won't be horrible long uintill we get some new news! I'm guessing we'll get the poster recreation they had as a mosaic at comic con. Edited July 20, 2012 by deskp

I'm guessing we'll get the poster recreation they had as a mosaic at comic con. Maybe they will unveil the character posters that were at SDCC as well. We could end up seeing all the dwarves that way.
deskp Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Maybe they will unveil the character posters that were at SDCC as well. We could end up seeing all the dwarves that way. Would be great, but I'm not sure it would have the same effect. The lotr posters were somewhat iconic. I would prefer to see the real minifigures first so we don't have to speculate whats a new mold and wahts just made for the cg poster
