KristofBD Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Well, it's nice to see that Greece has to honour to be the first to receive the sets. Thanks for the pics!

Wow LOTR343... Here in portugal prices are still cool, pretty much like the lego shop @ home. I get almost everything from amazon.es and amazon.co.uk, free shipping to Portugal. Although lego is still "cheap", they have been raising the prices on sugar, flour, the basics...

Well I learned how to survive with those prices all those years,and it wont stop me from collecting the hobbit sets. Edited October 25, 2012 by LOTR343
Captain Settle Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 LOTR343 you should make a review of the set! Please...
Deathleech Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 This means we should be seeing the sets pop up at TRU (and other places shortly after) very, very soon I would imagine... I mean the movie is due for release in less than 2 months now and the Lego sets are spose to be "officially" released in just over a month...
Pulp Detective Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 LOTR343 you should make a review of the set! Please... Believe me when I got the set this was the first thing that came in my mind,but my camera aint that great for clear pics and I still didnt figured out how to upload pictures,but I'll try to do my best.
deskp Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Believe me when I got the set this was the first thing that came in my mind,but my camera aint that great for clear pics and I still didnt figured out how to upload pictures,but I'll try to do my best. I recomend using flickr for uploading alot of pictures, or tinypic.us for fewer images.

To upload pictures, just transfer them from your camera to your computer, and make sure you know where they are on your computer. Then just get an account at a site like Photobucket and upload them there, Take the image url from a picture after it is uploaded to photobucket, and use the Image button when posting on eurobricks (beneath the smiley, looks like a polaroid photo). You'd be a record-breaking early reviewer and would know untold fame and glory in the community.
Moexy Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Nice to hear that the sets are already out in Greece, so not too long when we see them popping up in other places too
djmangunz Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 There is 0% chance that happens. They may go up before then, but they won't be for sale until December 1st on the site, maybe a few days earlier in store, and probably in a week or two from now at TRU in the US. Eh, it was wishful thinking anyway. Thanks for indulging me. But it is exciting that we are only a few weeks away(possibly) of seeing the sets in stores here in the US!
Missing Brick Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Annoyingly, the free Uruk polybag seems to have been removed from the Sun UK newspaper special offer. It's been replaced by a duplicate Frodo set http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/affiliates/lego/ I guess TLG decided they can make more money by selling them at full price to army builders. That's a shame cos I was hoping to pick up a few.

Looking forward to your review!
Huntleyfx Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 So since you have a copy of the set, is that a new print for Gollum?
Pulp Detective Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) So since you have a copy of the set, is that a new print for Gollum? Yea he has a more evil look on his face. Where did you got the set at? LOTR343 Well like amazon here in greece we also have sites to order lego so when I saw the lego hobbits sets,I didnt lost any chance and bought the set,but they ship only in greece.

Captain Settle Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 @ Missing Brick (I can't quote because the loading is taking too long) I think that was just an error with the Frodo duplicate. On Saturday we should still get Uruks.(Next Saturday)
Pulp Detective Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Just made a review for the set,plz check it out
Duke of wellington Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Is the box bigger or smaller than Gandalf arrives?

That's a shame cos I was hoping to pick up a few. I clicked the link and it looks like they changed it back to the Uruk-hai polybag for Saturday. When I first saw the poster on Brickset it had the Uruk-hai/Frodo shown, but when I would click the link there to the Sun page (same link you supplied), it just listed Frodo for both Saturday and Sunday. The whole LotR polybag thing has really just been a pain to be honest though. First it was suppose to be released a couple weeks ago through the Sun and now it keeps switching between Frodo and the Uruk-hai for Saturday. Here in the U.S. we don't even know when or if we will get the set. I heard it was available at Lego Discovery Centers, but have no confirmation of that. I realize it's just a fun little set and not suppose to be a big deal, but the complete lack of info on it is annoying. Luckily neither minifigure is that hard to get in a normal set, and you can buy fully armored Uruk-hai with the same weapon for around $3 on Bricklink, about a dollar less than a polybag would usually cost. Sure they don't have the bricks, but I doubt many people are buying the polybag for that dinky ballista
TheLegoDr Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I was just at a LegoLand discovery center earlier this week and I didn't see any polybags like that. They had a witch head and turkey polybag, but that was it. Maybe others have them though.

I think they were available earlier this month, but it seems some people literally bought or took hundreds of them to sell at jacked up prices on eBay. I can only assume this is the case because most the eBayers selling them are located in the same city as a Legoland Discovery Center and I don't know of any other way to currently get them in the U.S.
