November 23, 201311 yr I don't think they had them at any UK store today... the staff at the Liverpool store said they had none in stock and had a pretty strict embargo in selling sets early. Looks like it will be next weekend then! I can wait... A week doesn't make much of a difference.
November 23, 201311 yr Got barrel escape today from Lego store as part of there vip thing, it was the last set I needed so until the 1st Dec I have every set although I think Argos have the set already. Oh well 4 more sets to go. I think the figs are much better then the sets in this wave, lake town looks the best but still a little small for £50
November 23, 201311 yr I've looked on the Argos site and while they're listed every store I try and pick them up at comes up as no stock and you can't order them online. Looks like they're showing them but it isn't possible to actually get them from there. I'm going to keep an eye out on Tesco and John Lewis as they're probably going to be the best places to get a discount from release. If nothing is happening there then I'll go straight to the Lego store and pick them up.

November 24, 201311 yr It seemed to be hit and miss from what I've read. I just ordered mine from tru because of the sale they had and picked them up in store.
November 24, 201311 yr Lol this may be totally off topic but today while searching at my local walmart I found 12 Uruk Hai Army's on clearance for $10 a piece!!! :D That was too good to pass up and a picked up all 12! XD
November 24, 201311 yr I'm kind of confused about Amazon (US) listings for the new sets. Lake-town Chase (the set that I am most anxious to get) is conspicuously absent, and there is no image for Dol Guldur Battle. I hope this will all be straightened out by December...
November 24, 201311 yr Hmm, that Beorn head-piece is disappointing - all to make him a teeny bit taller...? Also, I am positive there will be a third LOTR wave - if they were ending with two waves, then the Ent in the Tower of Orthanc set would have been Treebeard. Since he wasn't, they must be saving him for later... It's the same reason I was sure they'd continue the theme with a second wave - since Saruman wasn't included in Orc Forge, (the most obvious place to put him), I knew they must be saving such an essential character for a later wave. So have faith people! (Also, since the movie back to being released in December, they can release the LOTR wave in the northern hemisphere summer as usual (the pattern was going to be messed up if the Hobbit was being released in July). The news about the video game is excellent - I hope they do a Visual Dictionary as well, both with an exclusive figure of course! Edited November 24, 201311 yr by Albus
November 24, 201311 yr TRU has the 30216 Lake Town Guard polybag listed and instock: http://www.toysrus.c...&skuid=17317591 Edited November 24, 201311 yr by zylek
November 24, 201311 yr Hm, Beorn's head piece looks incredible from the side and back, but from the front... . It makes his head look super skinny and tall. The beard should have extended lower or the face be bigger.
November 24, 201311 yr TRU has the 30216 Lake Town Guard polybag listed and instock: http://www.toysrus.c...&skuid=17317591 No international shipping :(
November 24, 201311 yr TRU has the 30216 Lake Town Guard polybag listed and instock: http://www.toysrus.c...&skuid=17317591 So they should be in stores soon enough. Someone should check their local TRU.
November 24, 201311 yr No international shipping :( Not for the UK again. With our luck the laketown guard will be the only one that doesn't turn up in the newspaper promotion, if there even is one.
November 24, 201311 yr So they should be in stores soon enough. Someone should check their local TRU. Looks like a job for me! I'll check after work tonight and let you know. ;) Actually I don't think it will be available until the website allows for in store pick-up. Edited November 24, 201311 yr by Mahtion
November 24, 201311 yr I checked my TRU yesterday and no polybags yet. They have everything else on the shelf except the Dul Guldor Battle.
November 24, 201311 yr Darn! I need laketown guards! It's bad enough paying silly prices to get the sets themselves that always turn up late, let alone be completely excluded!! I just tried the link. It said "no photo available"
November 24, 201311 yr Blah, not in stock anymore! Clicked add to cart, then it wasn't available anymore!
November 24, 201311 yr Checked bricklink.com, polybag not available, didn't expect that though. The sets are available there, I think I just wait till 1 december when lego.com has them. I saw some post here that said that there will be 2 polybags? What is the second one (if there is a second one)?
November 24, 201311 yr I saw some post here that said that there will be 2 polybags? What is the second one (if there is a second one)? The second one includes Legolas. Edited November 24, 201311 yr by just2good
