Lynx Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Bought mini bag end for 102usd with shipping. I'm glad I don't have to look at it on ebay anymore ;) I suppose you're not one of the people complaining when a set is too far off the 10 cents/ piece price point. Quote
Basteq Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I suppose you're not one of the people complaining when a set is too far off the 10 cents/ piece price point. What can we do?? Those are the rules of the free market. I have no chance to buy it elsewhere living in Denmark. I was lucky enough to attend NYCC last year ;) Quote
N7LEGO Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Oh ok ! I saw one with the same price this morning but when I pushed "Buy it now" it was already gone Quote
Basteq Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Oh ok ! I saw one with the same price this morning but when I pushed "Buy it now" it was already gone There are weird things happening on ebay. I saw about five y-day for about 100usd that were gone but not bought... Quote
N7LEGO Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Yes I saw one seller who retired his announce and published it again and with a price much more higher :) Quote
SMC Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 for those in the UK the new sets are on Tesco.com http://www.tesco.com/direct/lego-loftrhobbit-battle-at-the-black-gate-79007/707-9277.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=707-9277 Quote
Kez Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 ^ Thanks for that, I may have to pop in soon enough and buy a few of the sets Quote
just2good Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Just when you thought all was good, Azog giveaway for DoS (from FBTB). Hoping this figure comes out in a set, but of course, it's a SDCC giveaway, so that probably wont happen. Then again, it is a new mold, so we might get the mold on another figure... Edited July 19, 2013 by just2good Quote
legomonk Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 OMG! that azog is amazingly cool. I am sad I will have to pay out the butt to get one. I hope they release this in a set. Quote
SteampunkDoc Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Well, um....It's a good thing that ain't white, and that's he incredible ugly. (The figure, not the guy holding it) Cuz otherwise I may have wanted the figure. Surely Lego wouldn't make two brand new molds for a Comic Con only figure, so that's good news, but I'm not a fan of that head. Gotta say, this custom looks a lot better. Feel free to disagree. Quote
Flieger Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks! Can't say it is my fav figure, but still... Is it possible that Lego recently is using new molds far more liberal than in the past (think about the Mouth of Sauron's helm)? Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Wow, great minifig This certainly won't be exclusive, I can't imagine them making new moulds for a minifig and than not widely release it in sets. Besides, he's far more important than the various Superheroes exclusives that were offered in recent CC's And if it is exclusive, someone is gonna die. Painfully. Quote
deskp Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) What the.... Im kindof happy, kindof weirded out. That mold looks like a costume or seomthing... It does not blend well with the rest of his body. It looks like someone cut out the head/chest of a small figure and placed it on a lego body. THIS WILL TAKE SOME GETTING USED TO. If you cover up the sides of his chest border he looks good x] Edited July 19, 2013 by deskp Quote
just2good Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Picture for y'all. Again, thanks to FBTB for providing this one! Quote
legomonk Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Ok, now after looing at it and getting over shock of missing out on Azog, I am a bit more rational. Yeah It looks a little wonky. I really really hope Lego doesnt make this exclusive. I really enjoyed Azog and wanted his mini. Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 I just wanted to ask why you just reposted that. No harm done, but we got a perfectly good link! Quote
just2good Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I just wanted to ask why you just reposted that. No harm done, but we got a perfectly good link! Sometimes the link doesn't work for other people, so I felt I needed to post it. For you though, it's the other way around. Looking back at it though, I think I should have just edited the original post. I think that the figure is decent. I don't know much about the Hobbit, but hopefully they'll use this mold in the DoS/TABA sets. Edited July 19, 2013 by just2good Quote
deskp Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 It's obviously the height of his arms/shoulder that makes it look strange. Covering that up shows how fantastic he really is. QUESTION, Are those normal sized lego legs or a new medium tall set? And it's pretty clear, this is no more than a TIMED exclusive. Quote
SMC Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Not sure if I like it or not but I do think it will be in a set. edit: new long legs would be cool to see in sets Edited July 19, 2013 by SMC Quote
Blakstone Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Looks good. We have every reason to assume it is not exclusive. They don't claim that and it is a new mold. It is just our preview minifig for this winter. Though I am scared that it is exclusive and am debating whether to go into bankruptcy to buy it. Quote

They do infact claim it is exclusive on the packaging, however that's just for now. But have no doubt this will be in a set. lego wouldnt make 2 new molds to give away free, and he is the main antagonist of a trilogy, so he will be in sets no doubt. Save your money for now and spend it on the full set later this year Edited July 19, 2013 by deskp Quote
Kez Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Gosh that azog figure looks great, hopefully the same version of him will get released in one of the new hobbit sets (I fail to see why lego would make two/three new moulds for an exclusive 'one off figure'). Quote

legofreak86 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Picture for y'all. Again, thanks to FBTB for providing this one! So hope that is like with Bilbo was last year at comic con for unexpected journey!! If azog doesn't turn up in one of the sets I will be angry as hell! Hopefully this figure will be in the hobbit set they are revealing at the weekend like Bilbo was at the last con. Edited July 19, 2013 by legofreak86 Quote
