Fives Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 That prototype Azog is a sign that he's definitely gonna be in sets next year. LEGO could be replacing Yazneg with Azog in the Wargs set from now on. Would they do that? I'd love that! Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I don't know, replacing Yazneg with Azog wouldn't really make sense from a business standpoint (though it would be a lot more accurate movie-wise) since they'd have to change both the box design and the instruction manual. And it'd mightily annoy people who already got the set There's no point in changing minifigs in old sets rather than simply releasing them in new ones Quote

It was just wishful thinking that maybe we'd get Azog early. I'd buy another Wargs set if it meant an Azog fig. Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 We still need proof of this Azog mold in the Wargs set. But it would make sense as an updated rerelease, seeing as Yazneg's not even supposed to be in it! (And it was because LEGO was given early, preliminary source material. Quote
N7LEGO Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 After dinner! It's definetly azog When do you will have your dinner ? We're still waiting for you to have our dinner Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Stop bothering him about his dinner. Maybe he had to do something else? Quote

And it'd mightily annoy people who already got the set There's no point in changing minifigs in old sets rather than simply releasing them in new ones This. They would have to essentially release an entirely new set, that just happens to be somewhat similar to the old. New product numbers, etc. and they would need to pull back any remaining old to avoid confusion. It is far easier to simply put the new figure in a new set. This isn't the same as adjusting the build on the fire helicopter. This would be radically changing the sets major features. I am highly skeptical of any Azog piece ending up in any AUJ sets. It just doesn't make a lot of sense that such a part would have been available to be accidentally mis sorted into the box at the time the AUJ sets were made. Quote
8BrickMario Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Well, all we need is proof. And it seems like it will never come. Quote
Fives Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 We'll get this proof. I mean, people on here are from all over the place. It's 3:30 in the afternoon where I am. His dinner could be at any time. It's funny, I was watching AUJ yesterday ( 8th time I've seen it ), and I could really kinda tell, especially with the chase with Radagast and the Wargs, how they edited around the fact that Yazneg was originally Azog. It was a very late decision to change Azog into the Pale Orc, so it's neat watching Yazneg's early scenes with that in mind. Quote
deskp Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Well, he's being super late with the picture proof, so for now im gonna take the fact that he called it a protorype, and said it was painted to mean that he made his own azog and is trying to pass it off as a prototype. And how come the same guy who reportedly talked to that lego designer is the same person to get an azog in an old set. Seems very fishy to me untill proper proof. I could really kinda tell, especially with the chase with Radagast and the Wargs, how they edited around the fact that Yazneg was originally Azog. I believe the Yazneg bits we see in the chase, was shot after the change of Azog. Ergo anything we see of Yazneg in this movie was shot as Yazneg not azog. Quote
Speedza-Demon Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Hey everyone. I'm not sure if this is the right topic, but I recently purchased the Council of Elrond set, and no matter how hard I try I cannot remove Gimli's head from his beard. It's abnormally tight for some reason and won't budge, and I can't think of how to get it off without damaging anything. Does anyone know how to fix this without having to get a replacement? Quote

Take off the beard and the head off at the same time, then you can pop the head off after. Quote

We can't be impatient quite yet. I know it's a bit Fishy, but What if it's true? Quote

If it's true then thats all wella and good, but as the internet goes its fake uintill proven real. A couple of hours? it's been over 12 hours! Quote
Infernum Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 A couple of hours? it's been over 12 hours! Wait? Doesn't everyone eat twelve hour dinners? I know I do! Quote
Kez Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 I hope that this is true but: Fortunately, it’s been confirmed that Azog will be appearing in the upcoming Fall 2013 LEGO Hobbit sets. However, the upcoming minifigure will be whiter and paler than the SDCC edition. Source: http://www.neoape.com/lego-hobbit-azog-minifigure/ (I wonder where its been confirmed, this is the first time I have heard of a newer version of azog appearing in an upcoming set) Quote
SandMirror38 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Wait? Doesn't everyone eat twelve hour dinners? I know I do! Sorry had heaps of homework and my internet wasn't working then had to go to bed...I am 100% honest Quote

CM4Sci Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 Sorry had heaps of homework and my internet wasn't working then had to go to bed...I am 100% honest Yeah, sure. I had an incident here a few years ago, and everyone didn't believe me. Turns out I was right. Can't be completely sure. -Sci Quote
CMP Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 It's not unheard of. I vaguely remember a Maccus headpiece being sent accidentally as a replacement for anothers' in the PotC topic before the Black Pearl was even released. I'm interested to see this piece too. Quote
_miles_ Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 An Attack of the Wargs reissue w/ Azog would be something i'd definitely buy. Also, DOS packaging looks very nice. Much more colorful and appealing than the one for AUJ. Quote
