Gooker1 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 OMG, why can't these be out now!! Looove the corsair ship! Quote
Str0ngbad Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 mmmm. what else should I post? Orthanc! And since that's probably not going to happen, PLEASE show us the Rivendell set. Quote
jmagaletta Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I would take a blurry prelim pic of Orthanc over all the hi res of the Wave. And i dont count the pic with the measurments. Quote
shadowhearth Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 So when we can expect new wave popping out? Or will it be strict July and Amazon later on with some luck? Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I seem to remember hearing June being thrown around for the wave's release, but I could be wrong. Quote
Hrw-Amen Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Can I ask who the other chap is in the pirate ship? We have three dead people, Gimli, Legolas, Aragorn and a couple of orcs. Then there is this other chappy chained to the mast who looks a bit like Aragorn but I am assuming we don't get two of him and why is he chained up anyway? I just do not recall a person in this role in the movie? Quote
Deathleech Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 That is a Corsair (you know, the ones who originally piloted the ship before Aragorn and company commandeered it... the ones the set is named after yet there is only one of in the entire set ). Specifically it is suppose to be the corsair modeled after Peter Jackson's cameo: Quote
Wout Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 These people were asked by Sauron to go to war at Gondor. I Find the black gate not that impressive, It has nice minifigs and Gwaihir , but for the rest it's just a quite detailed wall. The ship is quite good, And look people, rejoice we've got a new catapult! Quote
-obelix- Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks for the great looking pics. As for the sets, the ship looks very nice and detailed, but the Black Gates, not so much... Quote
The_Creator Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Oh man, thanks Grogall! :D The Blackgate has just become a "must have", the ship is nice but I won't buy it unless I get a really good discount. Quote
GRogall Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) OMG, why can't these be out now!! Looove the corsair ship! Don't think hit buy! if you think..............there gone! Edited April 10, 2013 by GRogall Quote
Str0ngbad Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Holy cow. I wonder what lucky location has these available for pick up. No Kmarts down here anymore. Quote

KristofBD Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 @Deskp: I agree, you need two to fully enjoy the scene (but when you have two, it is truly brilliant!) Quote
Venunder Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 The Black Gate looks great. Unfortunately ...... I need at least 3 eagles. So i will need to wait for a 3 for 2 offer from Tesco, Toys R Us or Argos. LoL :) Quote
SMC Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the pix GROgall. Once again I wanted to crudely show the glory of combining 2 black gate sets. Great work looks good but now Iv seen it I think I will need to get some wing bits that are at the top of the tower that are the other way around Edited April 10, 2013 by SMC Quote
