Legomaster34 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 There was dimention that Corsair is Peter Jackson,but we get 2x Mordor orcs.This supposed to be from Pelennor fields scene,but Corsair is not confirmed yet It can be the Pelennor Fields scene, and LEGO just threw in one Corsair because that's the only possible set one could be featured in.

The palantir being a minifig isnt the best choise.. It being a translucent one is even worse, it should be black... Never in the movie is the palantir seethrough.

The_Chosen_1 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 ^^ Yes, I was extremely happy to hear that! It wouldn't have made sense to get a Corsair ship without a pirate. Quote
GuntherThePenguin Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Um, the fact that I will be able to get sets with Arwen, Elrond and Saruman for relatively cheap = best batch of news of the year so far! Cannot wait! Still debating on the Black Gate set though... Quote
Ceroknight Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The sets sound great! Can't wait for the pictures! Quote
brodey1 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I am very excited that TLG decided to make a mouth of Sauron figure. I'm sure the corsair ship will be awesome. Quote
HawkLord Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Seems like I will be in for the Wizard Duel and Elrond Council sets, but out for the Pirate Ship and Black Gate sets. I guess my wallet gets a break... Edited January 23, 2013 by Hawkman Quote
Kez Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Wait... no Mouth of Sauron? Yes there is in the black gate but the person who wrote that blog must have forgot to mention him. Quote
Faefrost Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 So they'll use a minifig head as the palantir? That could make for some creepy minifigs when combined with different headgear pieces (like the Cyclops head from CMF series 9) Or even better the Bunny Suit guy. Quote
Basteq Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 FBTB has some news up! http://www.fbtb.net/...d-of-the-rings/ Seems like we are getting a Corsair! Did anyone take pictures??? Quote

The palantir being a minifig isnt the best choise.. It being a translucent one is even worse, it should be black... Never in the movie is the palantir seethrough. Like first,they said first that we will get 3x Corsair Pirates,then 2x Corsairs and 1x Mordor orc,than 3x Mordor orcs and now 2x Mordor orcs and Corsair (I wish that one of the orcs is Guritz),first it shuld be from past of the dead scene,and then from Pelennor fields,we will see at the end what scene it will be from,and who said that Palantir will not be black?? I have never said that,I just put picture of Death Star telegram,to show You that it unfortunately can be true that they can for Palantir use minifig head Edited January 23, 2013 by Lordof theBricks Quote
Delta 38 Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Hmm, interesting. The earlier information indicates the Palantír was a minifigure head, but the post on FBTB says it appears to be "a special minifig head" and mentions it as not actually being present. While getting it as a head piece would be fun for making random minifigs with, I'm hoping that's just preliminary and that it'll be replaced with a round piece. Then again, I guess it's harder to print on a round piece... I'm surprised that nobody else to my knowledge has mentioned it, but I really hope we get two Palantíri, one with the Eye of Sauron and one "normal" one (just blue with some swirls). Quote
Lordof theBricks Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Guys,this is how I imagine LEGO Palantir Quote
KristofBD Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 One pirate to man the ship? Poor guy! Quote

I have never said that,I just put picture of Death Star telegram,to show You that it unfortunately can be true that they can for Palantir use minifig head I've only ever heard 1 corsair, 2 orcs, 2 dead soldiers and the king (+Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli.) They are including figures from both pelennor fields and exit from path of the dead scene. The palantir being translucent is soemthing I read from one of the toy fair reports, can't remember wich, could be that they are just unsure from the picture they saw. One pirate to man the ship? Poor guy! Last man standing, I'd say he's the lucky one! Edited January 23, 2013 by deskp Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Last man standing, I'd say he's the lucky one! Which is kinda ironic, seeing that he was the first corsair to die in the film (if it is indeed the one PJ portrayed) I might be in a minority here, but I really wish the palantir to be translucent, as I'm a sucker for transparent pieces Quote
Krulis Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Ladies and gentelmen I present you: Pirate Ship Ambush Figs: So the corsair is PJ , and orcs are the old ones. And ship itself: From motayan's photostream on flickr: http://www.flickr.co...s/91708573@N07/ Edited January 23, 2013 by Krulis Quote

Cammo Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Hmm, looks good in general 1 small complaint but i can live with it: no translucent pieces for the undead minifigs. I really like the minifigus in general though but the ship isn't iconic enought to buy the set Hopefully I can get the undead minifigs at a reasonable price somewhere. Quote
MstrOfPppts Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Don't tell both orcs miss the hair & ear pieces?! Quote
Hepitos Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 hmmmm. i am sad :( aragorn, legolas, gimli...noone need them anymore. 1 corsair ? uhhhhhhh for the hole ship? 2 OLD mordor orks ? how useless :( so many important scenes in the films, and then we get a corsair ship (1 min in film ?) with useless minifigs............... Quote
General Magma Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Disappointing orcs, no new prints and no hairpieces at all...? Other new figs look great, though, but the Corsair should have printed legs or at least brown hips. Edited January 23, 2013 by General Magma Quote
Sammael Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Never mind. Edited January 23, 2013 by Sammael Quote
deskp Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 The undead minifigures are really nice, the corsair isn't bad.... The mordor orcs The undead soldiers gets 2 unique prints, but the mordor orcs have to resuse the same in 4 sets when they are only really made for 1 of the sets. Thanks for the images! Quote
