Lynx Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Also, 8BrickMario, LEGO does not have an s at the end to make it plural. LEGO is a word, like fish, that is singular and plural without a change to the word. This might be an unfortunate example as 'fishes' is certainly a viable word when referring to fish taxa (e.g. freshwater fishes, fishes of the world). I have a feeling that, like last year, we might hear or see something at Comic-Con. Last year they showed us Bag End, maybe this year they'll show us... Beorn's House? Thranduil's Halls? Smaug? I wouldn't be surprised to see something to do with Mirkwood, since we already saw a bit of it in the first film, and there was a decent amount of early footage shown during the March live stream that Jackson and Brophy hosted. I would love to see what Thranduil will be like! One of my most anticipated sets of the next wave! I hope that one of your guesses is correct! Beorn's House could be terrific. Do you think LEGO would use the red dragon from the recent Castle line as Smaug? Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 It first appeared in 2007 Castle, and I hope the dragon is more unique. Quote
Lynx Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 It first appeared in 2007 Castle, and I hope the dragon is more unique. I didn't know it was that old! I'm on the fence regarding it as Smaug. It looks very un-LEGO-ish by being a very large molded figure. If I would see it for the first time, I'd think 'cheap plastic toy', not 'LEGO'. On the other hand, I generally dislike brick-build figures. Quote
8BrickMario Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I think an enlarged and less friendly-looking version of this dragon would be appropriate, based on this image: They could also go for a more reptilian look. as well. The film will tell. Quote
N7LEGO Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Any news about a polybag or something else offered to the customers for the 17th of June at the LEGO Stores ? Quote
LegoThomas Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Hey everybody. I'm new in this forum but have been reading all the discussions since Lego LotR first came out. I got all the Hobbit and LotR sets and can't wait till the next wave appears... Has anyone seen them in Germany yet? Quote
N7LEGO Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Has anyone seen them in Germany yet? I've seen some sellers on eBay from Germany but in store, not yet. But in Belgium and France they're already available. Edited May 28, 2013 by N7LEGO Quote
LegoThomas Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I'seen them on ebay too. Poor germans... not in store yet. Why then in belgium? Quote
Wat Tambor Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Is the Eye of Sauron from the set 79005 included in the Orthanc too? Quote
N7LEGO Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Is the Eye of Sauron from the set 79005 included in the Orthanc too? Unfortunatly... no. Quote
Cammo Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Which Belgian stores have the new sets I've seen some sellers on eBay from Germany but in store, not yet. But in Belgium and France they're already available. Which Belgian stores then? Fun, Bart Smit, Dreamland? Quote
Shakar Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I can't find any information on this, so please bear with me: I heard the Palantir piece in The Wizard Battle is a minifigure head (and not a cylinder, as I thought), is that correct? Thanks in advance. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Ooooooooops. I'll just stick to my iPad. Quote

8BrickMario Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 It is indeed, and looks REALLY cool when a red light brick is shone into it. Also, it's the first trans-neon orange head since Magma Commander in the Agents theme. I wonder if the palantír setup (crystal ball, 2x2 round plate and Eye) could be put on the table in Orthanc. The Eye is much cooler when lit up than green-and-red-swirly palantír. Quote

That's good to know that the small set palantir looks good under light, I've got my next micro Rings build on stand by waiting just for that piece now. I don't think it would be hard at all to mod the tower's palantir to hold the cooler looking one. Quote

Captain Nemo Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Could your next micro build be something like this? (I hope it is!) Of course! You know, but in Lego. Have to say, it's my best one yet! If only the 1st would come sooner! Quote

Fives Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Apparently Helm's Deep has been discontinued along with Weathertop! At least, it is set to be discontinued! Thought people would like to know. Where I read it: http://www.toysnbricks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7992 Quote
Cammo Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I don't get it. These are just released and already discontinued...: 7-Lord Of The Rings-Pirate Ship Ambush-June $99.99 8-Lone Ranger-Train Chase-April $99.99 Quote

Strange. Quote
Sid Sidious Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 In the sticker sheet for 79006 The Council of Elrond, there is a stick with the Eye of Sauron on it. Where does this go? I can't see it on any of the images of the set. Quote

I can't see it on any of the images of the set. Hi, I'm pretty sure it goes under the flip function where you catapult Gimli. Edited May 28, 2013 by The Joker1 Quote
Clone OPatra Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 It goes underneath the flinging mechanism for Gimli, replicating the split second that the eye is shown in the film. I wouldn't normally tell somebody to look up a video review (since they're inane on the whole), but video reviews such as the Brick Show or YCF show it off. Just quickly close the review after you've seen the function Quote
