legofreak86 Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 That's not really a new scene, it's just been expanded heavily, in ways that make little sense. Also it has orcs attacking by the look of the end of the trailer. Perhaps azog tries to get revenge again? Unless that was another part from the scene with elves fighting orcs. It looked a lot like Thorin was slicing one of them near the end though Keep dreaming :P I think they will change the figures a bit as the costumes have changed but hopefully there will be more chances to get the remaining dwarves not in the unexpected journey sets but only in the trilogy preview ones which I didn't bother with.

SandMirror38 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 My brother was saying how Warhammer miniatures also cost twice as much in Australia, and that the average Aussie household income is twice as much as the standard income, so this was the rationale? I'm not sure if this is true, but that's what the markup was supposedly based on. Yeah I used to collect warhammer and until the hobbit stuff came out I mean $120 for 4 people. No way. Sorry for going off subject :/ ^Yeah, I've seen all but the Wizard Battle in tru, target and big w. As for the prices, it's Australia :/ You guys are just so lucky :/ Wizard Battle is $30 here How am I ever gonna get any of these..... Quote

I am assuming that the country you live in has an average household income three times higher than in the USA. Quote

Leo604 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Break the law..... It's breaking the law to get a part time job? Quote
SandMirror38 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 It's breaking the law to get a part time job? For under 16s.Yes Quote
Leo604 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 For under 16s.Yes Oh ok my bad; sorry for the misunderstanding. :/ Quote
KyleJohnson11 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 For under 16s.Yes If you truly desire to get the sets and your parents won't pay for it, I'm sure there are plenty of lawns to be mowed for neighbors or other things. There are always opportunities, it is just a matter of thinking outside the box and being willing to find them. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately you can't get everything you want. Chances are you could not get any now and in a matter of years pay more to pick them up. Or think outside the box. I'm not 100% sure, but I thought you had to be 18 for this website? As for getting back on topic...I must have missed it somewhere, but in pictures recently it looked like the Mouth was of an olive? But it didn't look like other olives. Is it a dark tan skin tone? But it might be the lighting also. Edited June 14, 2013 by TheLegoDr Quote
8BrickMario Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 It's actually regular old light tan (or Brick Yellow), not dark tan or olive like the Toy Fair pics made it look. And the digital render makes it look pinkish. Quote
KazeMonsuta Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Just one quick question to the Attack on Weathertop set. Do the capes of the Ringwraiths have to bent far beyond the figure? They look really strange with the capes standing in the air. How can I put them on to make them look better? It's ridicolus I even have to ask this. Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I might get the council of Elrond when it comes out, or maybe the wizard duel. Nothing expensive...yet! Quote

They look really strange with the capes standing in the air. How can I put them on to make them look better? It's ridicolus I even have to ask this. I'm not sure that I understand you. The Ringwraith capes are a new design, and feature an additional hole so that they can "wrap" around the minifig's arms. There's no bending involved, though, if that's what you're asking....? Quote
KazeMonsuta Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Well their capes don't touch the figures back like capes normally do, they seem to bent so much, that the cloth can't touch their backs and just stands up. I'll just add a picture. I think it does not look right. Edited June 14, 2013 by KazeMonsuta Quote

Propicz89 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Any news of the new sets showing up in the UK? Quote
Kez Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Any news of the new sets showing up in the UK? Sadly not that im aware of but if I was to say a release date I'd say about July because thats when amazon has got the sets in stock (3rd), although Orthanc is going to be released this Monday. Quote

I would agree with that, it could be Monday though because of orthanc but Lego when I emailed them said they didn't have any idea when they just said by the start of the summer holidays. Quote
Artanis I Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I'm not 100% sure, but I thought you had to be 18 for this website? YES, but evidently a lot of teenagers can't read instructions. Post or hint your age at your peril, some moderators don't hesitate to ban underage members. Well their capes don't touch the figures back like capes normally do, they seem to bent so much, that the cloth can't touch their backs and just stands up. I'll just add a picture. I think it does not look right. If you have the Nazgul racing on their horses the cape looks fine. I think that's what they were designed for. If they are standing, you'll have to fold or squash the capes down a bit. Quote
Fives Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 So no rumours of the Hobbit: DOS sets? I find it strange. I'd expect to have heard some rumour, a list leaked from somewhere in Europe. It would be unfortunate if we didn't hear any news till Comic-Con. Other than pure speculation, the conversation has dried up. Quote
LegoThomas Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Cant think of Hobbit sets right now... cuz tomorrow is Orthanc day! Can't wait... Quote

Agreed, Best thing about leaked sety names is when you can clearly tell wich minifigures will be in the set. Quote
