CorneliusMurdock Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 That's pretty cool. As soon as I figure out whether or not my computer can play Blu-ray I'll consider picking it up. It's a really nice variant. I don't have a Blu-ray player either currently (When my DVD player dies, I'll upgrade to Blu-ray but not replace my DVDs since the new player will upconvert). It had a DVD copy as well. Quote
just2good Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Not sure if anyone has posted this but my copy of Unexpected Journey just came from Target. {pic} That's really cool! Thanks for the pictures! Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Dang! In US it's not released until tomorrow! Quote
Darth Malgus Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I really like that minifgure, hopefully someone here in Australia picks it up for distribution. Quote
Leo604 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I'll probably wait a little while for the price to go down at retail or whatever and just rip it from the public library; minifigure isn't one of those exclusive things I have to have, plus I don't use my Blu-Ray player as much anymore. Quote
The Legonater Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I don't have a Blu-Ray, and either way I'd hold off. It's a cool figure, but I intend to get the three-piece extended edition box set when it comes out. Quote
Str0ngbad Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I will probably pick that up tomorrow and sell off the Blu-Ray version to a friend. Quote
zylek Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I picked up the Target Exclusive Lego Blu Ray pack this morning, I almost thought I had missed out on it since there weren't any in the movie area. So I decided to check the checkout endcaps as they usually put the new releases out there as well. Sure enough they had 8 of them on the Hobbit checkout endcap. Also, FYI, at least at my Target it rang up at $29.99 so they had to credit it back to $22.99. Quote

MaxGoof Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Fought the snowstorm this morning to get the Bilbo exclusive at my Target! It was worth shoveling out the car--for whatever reason, my Target was already starting to run low on these Hobbit combo packs. I posted a bunch of photos of him on my blog, but here's a couple: Edited March 19, 2013 by MaxGoof Quote
Faefrost Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 The patern printing on his scarf and vest is fantastic. I love the second face. Not quite as crazy about the first. Quote
BlueberryWaffles Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Got my Hobbit film and it shows on the box that a lego hobbit: an unexpected journey featurette is included. Quote
The_Creator Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Great minifig, but I really don't want to spend that much for a minifig. Since I plan on buying the full Hobbit DVD set once there all out… Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Got my Hobbit film and it shows on the box that a lego hobbit: an unexpected journey featurette is included. It really isn't all that different from the featurettes that we've already seen from Lego, but it's still pretty well done. And a nice tease at the end that more sets are indeed on the way (I personally thought it was a tease about a Lego Smaug, but I digress). Quote
Moexy Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 When can we expect to see the sets for the Hobbit 2? September? Quote
just2good Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 When can we expect to see the sets for the Hobbit 2? September? Well, there are no confirmations yet, but I bet we'll see some sets in November, just about the same time we saw The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey sets starting to show up. Quote
Faefrost Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 If it helps to mentally place the BluRay Bilbo minifig into the movie. The vest and scarf on the minifig match what Bilbo is wearing right at the very beginning of the movie, when he firsts meets Gandalf while he is sitting in front of Bag End. There is probably a deleted scene somewhere that has him wearing a blue coat over that initial outfit. Quote
shadowhearth Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Am I the only one, who thinks it is creepy? That face is just... Creepy. Don't really like the outfit too. If I would not be told it was him, then I would think it is some sort of old guy. Quote

If I would not be told it was him, then I would think it is some sort of old guy. Exactly what I thought of the redcoat Bilbo; I think if the wrinkles were removed the minifig would look a lot better. In any case I only keep the scared face showing on mine. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Meh, the face looks pretty good to me. Martin Freeman does have bag under his eyes as Bilbo, so I think that's the reason for the wrinkles. Quote
Infernum Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Exactly what I thought of the redcoat Bilbo; I think if the wrinkles were removed the minifig would look a lot better. In any case I only keep the scared face showing on mine. I agree. He looks weird with all those wrinkles. Quote
WEREWOLF Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) "Warner Bros. has confirmed that the first film in the new trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, will receive the Extended Edition treatment in a late 2013" some of us hope that the Bilbo exclusive comes in the Extended Edition extra info: the extended edition will be released and will feature 20 to 25 additional minutes. Edited March 22, 2013 by WEREWOLF Quote
Str0ngbad Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 My Target doesn't have the it anyway. They have the combo pack but not with the minifigure. Quote
