just2good Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I checked the retailer catalog and there is no more lotr/hobbit until june and then dec What did they say about the December release? Quote
deskp Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Ortanc being a D2C it wouldn't show up in retailers cataogues Quote
GandalftheAWESOME Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Dumbledorf Did you just call the greatest wizard of all time, Defeater of the dark wizard grindelwald and discoverer of the 12 uses of dragon's Blood, Dumbledorf?!?!?! Quote
Kez Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 What did they say about the December release? They could maybe do an early release of one of the desolation of smaug sets or maybe an unseen lotr set, isn't the escape from the barrels set from an upcoming hobbit movie (hopefully the December release is the tower of Orthanc although I reckon it will come out a few months prior to that) Quote
Elrond Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 isn't the escape from the barrels set from an upcoming hobbit movie It is, and so are "Escape from Mirkwood Spiders" and the "Mirkwood Elf Guard" polybag. Quote
-Carson Haupt- Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Did you just call the greatest wizard of all time, Defeater of the dark wizard grindelwald and discoverer of the 12 uses of dragon's Blood, Dumbledorf?!?!?! Yeah! Don't yah know its spelled Gandalf?!?! Quote
Kez Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 ^^ Thanks, hopefully a desolation of smaug set might be released later on in the year. Quote
Leo604 Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Yeah! Don't yah know its spelled Gandalf?!?! it seemed relevant. Quote
GuntherThePenguin Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Of course Lego will keep releasing these sets as long as movies come out. After the final Hobbit, that is when the theme MIGHT end. But until then, I wouldn't worry. Quote
Faefrost Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I mean how would Star Wars fans feel without a Millenium Falcon set ever being made with Han Solo and Chewbacca, or Harry Potter fans never getting Hogwarts and Dumbledorf and Hermoine? That's basically what it's like with Lego LotR not having ANY Gondor sets. They don't even need Minas Tirith necessarily, but SOMETHING would be nice. Osgiliath, a small battle pack... anything at all. Would it make you feel any better to know that the Milenium Falcon and Han Solo did not appear in the SW lineup until the third release wave, in the second year of the SW license? Both the Gungans "Bongo" Sub and the Sith Infiltrator preceded it. Quote
deskp Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Manu Benett (Azog actor) - ''I was so gutted to not be part of any of the imagery or promotional machine last time out, especially not getting an Azog Lego character made." The Hobbit crew all seem to be embracing the whoe lego thing more than other movies! Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 It is encouraging to see just how much the cast is getting into the Lego theme. I'm hoping for an Azog minifigure in the not-too-distant future as well. Quote
Balin Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) They should do the gondor soldiers like this! Edited April 7, 2013 by Balin Quote
deskp Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 They should do the gondor soldiers like this! Eh, they need new helmets and they should all wear breastplates Quote
Infernum Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Ha, ha! I would be sad if I didn't get my character made out of Lego too! It is very cool to see how much the cast enjoys the Lego aspect of their movie! Quote
Leo604 Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Eh, they need new helmets and they should all wear breastplates Breastplates, yes; helmets seem to be alright, assuming they fit on top. Quote
Darth Malgus Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Would it make you feel any better to know that the Milenium Falcon and Han Solo did not appear in the SW lineup until the third release wave, in the second year of the SW license? Both the Gungans "Bongo" Sub and the Sith Infiltrator preceded it. I remember that, there were some pretty useless sets that came out prior to the mf. Quote

Faefrost Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 This is true, but the Star Wars Lego line was introduced to usher in Episode 1, hence the heavy lean towards that movie. The same could be said of the Hobbit movies. Quote
Leo604 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 The same could be said of the Hobbit movies. What's your point? There weren't any Hobbit 'prequel' trilogies (LOTR doesn't really count, it has its own separate wave) so it's hard to make a comparison there with the Star Wars context being discussed. Quote
SheepEater Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) (This seems like the most appropriate topic) Do you people post on http://theonering.net forums? I just subscribed there (same username) and posted a message on the Gaming & Collectible forum. Edited April 9, 2013 by SheepEater Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I'm registered there, but haven't posted in a while. It would be good if more Tolkien fans jumped on board with the Lego theme, though. Quote

I mostly posted there so people would help me find the Lego reviews. Since they redesigned the site I simply cannot find them anymore. Searching for LEGO anywhere on the site returns too many results with Legolas. Quote
SteampunkDoc Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Do you people post on http://theonering.net forums? I lurk there, haven't bothered to join. Got enough website accounts as it is. Quote
