That is one way to go about it. The only problem I have with it is usually you can pay just a little more and get the whole set plus the figures. But I guess I don't know how prices are in Croatia. Have fun with that though. The figures look awesome.

My local Fred Meyer also has the new Hobbit sets. I picked up Riddles for the Ring And the Mirkwood Spiders set.

Yes, Thorin's hair piece - a few pages back in this thread.

The sets are up on Kmart's website in the US. I had to check back a few times because they go out of stock and then come back up randomly.

Yay for Hobbit sets!

[PsyKater]

Yea sorry

Perhaps you like to edit your post. Put the spoiled part into these tags:

and it will come out like this:

The ship sinks!

You will have many new friends by doing this, I think

Can you share with us what state you are in? I've seen the Hobbit sets at local Freddies, just not the Mirkwood or Barrel sets yet.

I post one of Thorin's a couple pages back. Basically, it's a long flowing hair-style with part of the top section tied back. It can't work with a quiver, but could work with a cape.

I'm pretty sure it works with a quiver. Thorin shares the same hair as Fili and Kili and they both have quivers on their backs.

Someone please tell the MSRP for the sets (in USD). Thanks in advance.

[Masked Builder]

The 'Barrel Escape' set is a TRU exclusive.

I don't think his had the Barrel Escape set either. K-mart doesn't have it so that must be the TRU exclusive like The_Chosen_1 points out.

Yea I have the Mirkwood spiders set and I can tell that the quiver fits with hair but not dastans sword holder from prince of persia.

I was wondering about the sword holder. It's a shame. It would have been really cool if Fili could wear his two swords on his back and Kili could have his quiver and bow. Regardless, this new hair piece will become very popular with Castle fans. Glad LEGO made it.

Btw guys check this new epic tv-spot from the upcoming hobbit movie!!! http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=70054

[Fives]

That tv spot was really good. It showed some of the conflict between Thorin and Bilbo, and it looks like PJ will have it be very much in the forefront of the story.

On a more LEGO related note, do people who have some of the sets plan on making in depth reviews?

[General Magma]

Why does the AUJ cast still mention Orlando Bloom as Legolas?

I thought he was to appear in the second film along with Tauriel...

Speaking of the mirkwood set, its kind of annoying that they don't allow enough space on legolas's hairpiece (all elves for that matter) to equip the quiver. Lame, because you can do it for the goblins, as well as thorin, kili and kili

[Fives]

It is unfortunate, but it is also evident that LEGO intends to use this elf hairpiece for most elves, even those who don't wear quivers, which means that an elven hairpiece that would allow for a quiver would look strange on elves who don't have them. Unless LEGO is to make a new elven hairpiece, we'll unfortunately have to make do with the hair they have right now.

I have added HR images for all the Hobbit sets to my BS gallery! (Folders still needs to clear)

Including lots of the Minifigures.......
