Cammo Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Isn't the game postponed 'till October 2014? So a exclusive minifigure reveal is still some time away, no? Anywho in the other topic someone stated he wil buy Minas Tirith and the Witch-King Showdown set but I thought it was mentioned here that was only a rumour being abolished due to the new catalogue only mentioning 4 Hobbit sets...

I have not heard about the game being postponed, got ay links? amazon.de says april yeah more lotr sets have only been false rumors really. Quote
Cammo Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Can't find my source actually... I was sure I read it somewhere during the time the catalogue image was revealed with the 4 blanc boxes for the 3rd wave Hobbit sets. Sorry, didn't mean to cause dubiety. Quote
Darth Punk Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Delaying the game until October wouldn't make much sense. Not right before the last movie, which is not included. Plus they are going to want to release the last portion probably in spring/summer of the next year. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) GameStop says March 31st. WHEN IS IT BEING RELEASED? Edited January 20, 2014 by Tolkien Quote
deskp Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 GameStop says March 31st. WHEN IS IT BEING RELEASED? unless they delay it it sounds like end of march/start of april is the release, european release of games usualy is a couple of days later. Quote
Floundie Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 My local toy store has all wave one LOTR sets, but at full retail price. I want to grab Helm's Deep but the price is steep. What do you think? If there is a cheaper alternative I'd like to hear it. Quote
Blakstone Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 The secondary market has already passed that. You can try to get a low bid on eBay though. Quote
Darth Punk Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I say if you really want it don't wait to buy,it. The prices are only going to rise, especially for helms deep. It's a bit of a gamble to rely on eBay as there are most likely others in your same position. You might get it cheaper but not by very much. Quote
Floundie Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Okay, yeah I waited way too long. Might have to just get it while I can. Thanks. Quote
Mahtion Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Out of these three sets which would you pick? Black gate Lake Town Chase Bag End I'm thinking of adding one to my Middle Earth Lego collection. Quote
Blakstone Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Bag End is the most satisfying of those three for me. It is the only Tolkein set I have out. If I had my way, Helm's Deep would be on display too. Quote
Deathleech Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Definitely Bag End. The build is fun and it looks amazing without needed to buy multiples (like Black Gates). Quote
Mahtion Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I have Council of Elrond on display along with Wizard battle and Dol Guldur a Ambush. I cannibalized Mines of moria long ago. Weathertop I have in storage. What about black gate or lake town chase? Good point Deathleech. I'm thinking about buying a bag end without figs but is that sacrilege? Quote
Darth Punk Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Bag End. It's a great looking set. Can be used for both the hobbit and TLoR. Quote
Faefrost Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Out of these three sets which would you pick? Black gate Lake Town Chase Bag End I'm thinking of adding one to my Middle Earth Lego collection. Bag End is perhaps the best set of the entire Middle Earth lines. Only Helms Deep is in its category. Lake Town Chase is nice. Black Gate is some good figures with a black wall. Quote
Brickadiergerard Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Bag End - great set, fun build, and perhaps the most iconic location in Middle-Earth. Quote
Floundie Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I agree completely, Bag End for sure - easily the best set of the line. I don't think you should get it without figs. Gandalf you don't need but all the dwarves are nice, especially Balin and Bofur. Edited February 7, 2014 by Floundie Quote
Darth Caedus Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I have Council of Elrond on display along with Wizard battle and Dol Guldur a Ambush. I cannibalized Mines of moria long ago. Weathertop I have in storage. What about black gate or lake town chase? Good point Deathleech. I'm thinking about buying a bag end without figs but is that sacrilege? Well, you really should have all 13 Dwarves and the 9 Fellowship at the very least, so def. get it with figs. Quote
h22chen Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 The Uruk Hai Army set in the US now is at least $50 or more, the Canadian retail price of $40 is pretty good compared to it and the Canadian Retail price of $180 is quite a tad more expensive than the US price, but it can barely be found in the US and costs more than $200 already... but... Canadian taxes increases the price substantially, I'm Ontarian, so the 13% retail tax does dig in. I can understand the hesitation. Quote
Mahtion Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Unexpected gathering was 89.99 at Toysrus, looks like I will get it on Amazon for $65.45. Thanks for all the suggestions! I can't believe I never got this set, looks really good in review vids. Quote
