MikeyB Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 found the Frodo poly bag at my TRU (Charleston, South Carolina) they didn't even have them hanging, just opened the box they came in and were setting on the shelf.
SheepEater Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 I hope the Uruk-Hai polybag will show up soon. I only want one, so I won't mind paying extra to import it.

deskp Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Sorry if someone already posted something like this, but the Elrond minifigure has been confirmed: My link Yeah it's been confirmed like a week ago or something.
Ferrik Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah it's been confirmed like a week ago or something. Oops... I just haven't been keeping up to date with this topic as there are an endless amount of pages. Anyway, sorry for the late post.
SheepEater Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Well, Elrond's already been talked about for like 6 pages now. How about Galadriel? From this crappy screeshot from the LOTR game, we can still see that she will make a stunning minifig with a new female elf hairpiece. Do you think we will see her in the upcoming Hobbit sets, or the next LOTR wave? Or as an exclusive like Last Alliance Elrond?
just2good Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) ... Do you think we will see her in the upcoming Hobbit sets, or the next LOTR wave? Or as an exclusive like Last Alliance Elrond? LEGO did say (via Twitter) that we will see a female figure in the next wave. I reckon it will be Galadriel, but nothing is confirmed. LEGO wasn't too specific, as it could be the next LOTR wave, or this year's Hobbit wave. Edited August 12, 2012 by just2good

I think we'll see a minifig of her before the hobbit/lotr theme is over. The minifig designers for the game doesen't seem to follow the Elf aestethic lego has started with Legolas, Haldir and Elrond.. Shame. Edited August 12, 2012 by deskp

And, also, I don't know what that is besides a round plate but I don't think it's supposed to resemble the actual figure when it comes to details like that. I do hope that they would keep the actual elven aesthetics on at least the actual figures as well, though, but we'll see what comes of this. There's a chance we may see more of her in the next LOTR trailer in 3 days.

The image on the round plate is a direct image from an ingame character model. obviously we dont know if its the final design yet. Lets hope soemthing good comes from gamescom, Is a new trailer confirmed? (i get thats its about time and a good 'reason for them to release one)

deskp Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) What do you mean by that? Simply explained. the distance btween the mouth and eyes are longer on elves than normal human minifigures. The Galadriel in that image looks like any other female minifig to me. Its a small distinction but it works well. A new trailer is coming out??For the lego game or the hobbit movie??? The game. the new hobbit trailer comes in september" Edited August 12, 2012 by deskp

Especially since the Elves are my favorite race of Middle-earth!

Atleast it seems that way, if you go and mesure im sure its pretty similar to others, but they certainly got a pureness to their face design.
Philip Robin Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I've been thinking. Even though Helm's Deep is hilariously disproportionate (Not a bad thing! ) I was wondering, according to the proportions that LEGO has set, how many Uruk Hai Army walls would you use to create a semi-accurate length for the deeping wall?

Don't forget all those production videos he made for the fans, though! I do wonder if they will ever show us the 12-min. reel, however... Edited August 12, 2012 by General Magma

I'd use only 2. One to the left of the grate wall, the other to the right. And then on the second set I'd mix and match Eomer with the generic soldier to end up with 1 Eomer, 1 Rohan horseman and 2 different looking Rohirrim archers.

I've used six, three on one side of the culvert, three on the other side. I think it looks really good, and it gives lots of space for soldiers to stand on guard.

I think from memory I have 5. 3 between the castle & the drain and 2 the other side. I also have another unopened set, but that will probably just go into the sorting containers.
deskp Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/08/13/lego-lord-of-the-rings-gamescom-trailer New videogame trailer, it shows galadriel HAS a hairpiece that isnt from potc. sadly it doesent show any new characthers, and its depiction of the black gate battle is filled with MORIA orcs. God I hope it won't be like that in the final game. My guess would be that the moria orcs were the first ones made in the game because they knew they would release the moria demo first. That dress should be white, it should have a broche and the neckline bit shouldnt be folded that much. Also the face isn't much like her at all... Galadriel never shows much emotion and has a rather cold expression, That face is not fit for her. EDIT: Gandalf the white looks good!! Hair and beard in one piece! The beard is way too long tho, for both sauroman and gandalf the white... Why do lego always mold way too long beards.. (not counting the ones from the hobbit weve seen so far.)

I'm trying really hard to be more concerned about the face so I don't keep thinking about the brioche (or lack thereof)...
