Duke of wellington Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) In Australia EB games has ofered every promotion can't wait! Is gandalf the white still happening for some stores? Also how does the sun promotion work? I will try to tell my relatives to get 30 Uruks from that I will buy every newspaper in the shop. I am buying the game for ELrond he will be so cool in a Lego LOTR strategy battle game. I play GW's LOTR game with Lego! I never buy video games for lego but now I will!!!

Bilbo Baggins Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 It would be awesome if the special edition of the game included Elrond and when you pre-order it you got Gandalf the White It is really unlikely though.
SheepEater Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 It would be pretty lame if specific countries/videogame shops/console versions had different minifigs; Lego itself having released the black&white image of the Elrond fig for a good months now. I myself only have a xbox360 and that's what I'm gonna get it for.
Bilbo Baggins Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I wouldn't discard a different minifig in the special edition on each console, even though the best example to back up my theory would be how in Soul Calibur IV the ps3 had Darth Vader and the Xbox 360 had Yoda as as an special character.
Duke of wellington Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I regret to tell some bad news it seems only the German site will have the Elrond figure, for most it will be Gandalf! That is what I was told. Edited August 4, 2012 by Duke of wellington
CMP Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I regret to tell some bad news it seems only the German site will have the Elrond figure, for most it will be Gandalf! That is what I was told. Pretty unlikely. Maybe for certain retailers they'll be different, but I highly doubt it'd be confined to a single site.

legomonk Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 So...this for amazon ONLY?... Can someone confirm this. I hope this is Gamestop as well. I like Elrond fig and that weapon. I certainly wouldn't mind getting it. My friend confirmed that a fig was included with a pre order just not what the fig is and he is the manager of the gamestop in the mall locally.
Ferrik Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Have you seen this: Oh! I am sorry. Another member post this. The minifigure looks excellent.
Duke of wellington Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I highly doubt we will see the Hobbit sets for a while because it is based on an unreleased movie.
Fives Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I highly doubt we will see the Hobbit sets for a while because it is based on an unreleased movie. The Hobbit sets have been confirmed for a December 1st release date.
Vindicare Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 We need some confirmation here!? Are we all going to get Elrond, or just amazon or the aforementioned German site? I'd like to get Elrond...I need to if I can just go to Gamestop or if I need to head over to amazon...
Bilbo Baggins Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I believe that Elrond will be included in a special edition of the game, but we still dont know for which countries.
deskp Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I believe AMAZON.whatever will get the special/limited editions, and gamestop and some other stores will have the figure as preorder bonus
RRELEGO Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Hey guys! I'm a filmmaker who's just getting into LEGO reviews on Youtube and I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan (as well as an AFOL). Pass the agonizing wait for those Hobbit sets by watching well-done, detailed video reviews of the trilogy sets! I'm pumped that the trilogy sets actually made it to the shelves, and I'm reviewing all of them! My review on Attack on Weathertop, set 9472, is already online. More are coming every day! http://www.youtube.c...h?v=KcUGvByNsXA I believe this review, and all of my reviews in general, truly offer a perspective that's often neglected by the current popular lego reviewers. I also take pride in precise and effective cinematography of each set I review. It would mean the world if the people here on eurobricks would check my stuff out because I love talking LEGO, especially when people will listen! I'll be doing giveaways and special videos as well! any AFOL would enjoy!
deskp Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Hey guys! I'm a filmmaker who's just getting into LEGO reviews on Youtub....... Your link doesen't work.
Super Brick Collector Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 So the minifig will be included with the game or in preorder. I hope it is included in an special edition version. You only get the fig if you preorder the game.
deskp Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 You only get the fig if you preorder the game. Youre wrong, the fig will come with limited/special editions of the game. by preorder aswell propably.
Super Brick Collector Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Youre wrong, the fig will come with limited/special editions of the game. by preorder aswell propably. Well half right I guess.
Fives Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I'm unsure how it worked with the LEGO Batman 2 Lex pre order exclusive, but will the figs hip before the game or will it ship with the game.
Duke of wellington Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I believe AMAZON.whatever will get the special/limited editions, and gamestop and some other stores will have the figure as preorder bonus I think you are right because Lego would never bother to make 2 different figs considering that gandalf could be in a million sets whether this elrond only in 1 scene. Lego usually releases special figs for things you normally cant get like celebration Luke. Edited August 5, 2012 by Duke of wellington
SheepEater Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Your link doesen't work. I found a way to see his review anyway. The string KcUGvByNsXA is the video ID, just type it in on the search box on youtube. Anyway, here's the proper link.
Super Brick Collector Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I'm unsure how it worked with the LEGO Batman 2 Lex pre order exclusive, but will the figs hip before the game or will it ship with the game. Game stop just got a box of lex figs. So who ever bought the game got the fig. But it was while supplies last kinda thing.
Fives Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Game stop just got a box of lex figs. So who ever bought the game got the fig. But it was while supplies last kinda thing. I get that. I guess my question wasn't clear. Will, with the pre order, the fig ship at the time the game ships, likely in October, or will I get the fig earlier than the game? I'm a little impatient, and the idea of having to wait till almost Novermber for this amazing fig is a little sad.
