kris kelvin Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I wonder if there will be NEW bats in Dol guldur set. I do hope beorn uses the long legs, I think theya re really ccool, casue they keep with lego traditions completly. Yes. This should be Beorn (probably). He is taller than regular minifigs. Probably long legs like in "Toy Story".
AFOLguy1970 Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Glad we finally heard something about the sets. Thoughts: Dol Guldur Ambush: Will chime in and hope that Elrond is the unnamed figure Elven Outpost: Sounds like Thranduil is in this. Hopefully, the other elves are unnamed warriors and not a rehash of Legolas and Tauriel. This sounds like the best set so far. Dol Guldur Attack: Kind of disappointed. Radagast seems to be the bright spot, but the lack of the White Council in general is sort of a letdown. Perhaps the white orc is Bolg. It seems like Azog would have been better suited to show up at the Elven Outpost or maybe they are saving him for sets associated with the last movie release. After all, he is quite obsessed with getting to Thorin. I just dont see Azog taking the time out to go play at Dol Guldur. It seems like they are setting up for a final showdown between the arch rivals at BOFA. The "Nazgul" kind of guy would either be the Witch King or the Necromancer. I would hope for the latter, because having the set without him would not be good. His head would have to be more than just a black round head with a stud. Perhaps the image is being held back for now. After all, the reveal of the Necromancer is highly anticipated, sort of like Smaug.
kris kelvin Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Dol Guldur Ambush: Will chime in and hope that Elrond is the unnamed figure He doesn`t look like Elrond at all. His name is very short (it`s impossible to read).
Fives Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 He doesn`t look like Elrond at all. His name is very short (it`s impossible to read). Maybe Thrain?
Alcarin Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Dol Guldur Ambush: Will chime in and hope that Elrond is the unnamed figure Why would anyone want ANOTHER Elrond is beyond me.... he is NOT a warrior for a long time before the events of Hobbit and LOTR... Elrond is a good guy in a Rivendell resort taking care of old stories and reading stuff.... and healing.... All I hope is that Elvish warriors are generic 3 soldiers and 2 have SHIELDs helmets and armors!!!!! thats all i want from this set lol
deskp Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Maybe Thrain? Boy he would be a weird figure to be the HERO of a set with 2 orcs. @Kris Kelvin, the 'soldier' in the ambush set, what kind of equipment does he have? weapon, armor, cape, helmet? What general colors is he?
Fives Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Where did you get this picture ? He got a look at the catalogue with the prelims.
Kez Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks Kris for sharing, this certainly makes me more eager to see images, Im loving the sound of these new mini figures, here's hoping for azog as he is rather expensive to obtain and if we don't get Bolg in this wave we will most likely get him in the presumably last wave for the final film
SMC Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) By the looks of it we will be missing some key figures but there is another wave to come and there might be an exclusive maybe at the £40 point? the sets all sound like they could be good, I will be getting them what ever but how many is another question. Edited October 8, 2013 by SMC
N7LEGO Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Nice list and it looks like we'll have good minifigs. I'm pretty satisfied about this list except the fact that we'll have 2 Dol Guldur sets.
deskp Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 By the looks of it we will be missing some key figures Wich ones are you thinking about? If the minifigs in these sets are the ones we assume they are I can see we're overall "missing": Mains: Galadriel, Dain Ironfoot, Azog (despite everything I assume we get Bolg cause: Beorn vs Bolg round 1, would set things up for bo5a..) Sidekicks: Alfrid, Lindir, Fimbul Nice list and it looks like we'll have good minifigs. I'm pretty satisfied about this list except the fact that we'll have 2 Dol Guldur sets. What would you have traded the small Dol guldur set for?
SMC Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Wich ones are you thinking about? Azog is a big miss as we have seen a mold for him which makes me think maybe there is an exclusive set, I was really hopping for a Beorn in bear forum as we got the new lego city bear which looks good. Galadriel needs to turn up somewhere but could still be in a LOTR wave. And the big one we are all forgetting - Smaug. as for 2 Dol Guldur sets, I like it when sets go together even Barrel Escape and Lake Town Chase will do it for me as they follow on.
deskp Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) And the big one we are all forgetting - Smaug. Eh I dont think he's forgotten, I just find the main normal minifigs to be more important. Smaug will propably get a set at some point. Maybe they'll do a Erebor set that encompasses multiple story points. I think bear-Beorn might need a new mold to do him justice, the head mold in particular Edited October 8, 2013 by deskp

I think bear-Beorn might need a new mold to do him justice, the head mold in particular I know we have not forgotten about Smaug just seems like we have all accepted that we wont see him in this wave. I was thinking new printing could work for bear-Beorn but I really like molded creachers so was hoping for Smaug and bear-Beorn Edited October 8, 2013 by SMC

Yes but this white orc mentioned surely must be azog which means we will probably get him in the dol Guldur set. Edited October 8, 2013 by legofreak86
deskp Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Yes but this white orc mentioned surely must be azog which means we will probably get him in the dol Guldur set. Propably, but since it is preliminary it could be any minifigure standing in for this orc. and bolg has white arms, legs and face the same way azog does. That said, if its a fully white azog orc on the minifig index then its another story certainly.
N7LEGO Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 What would you have traded the small Dol guldur set for? I donno what we will see in the movie but I was expecting 4 sets for 4 different parts of the movie. Maybe something about the Beorn's House or about Erebor.
deskp Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 I donno what we will see in the movie but I was expecting 4 sets for 4 different parts of the movie. Maybe something about the Beorn's House or about Erebor. It would be hard to make a satisfactory set based on beard (huge) house in a small set. And all the erebor actin involves smaug so thats a no-go in a small set. If the soldier-guy in the ambush set is unique it's propably a better deal than getting the dwarves over again. And alot of people seem to lvoe cheap sets with orcs and soldiers in them.
Infernum Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Awesome news! Mirkwood Elf Army and Dol Goldur Battle sound great! :thumbup: Shouldn't this be in the 2014 rumors thread though?
deskp Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Awesome news! Mirkwood Elf Army and Dol Goldur Battle sound great! :thumbup: Shouldn't this be in the 2014 rumors thread though? That would be in the 213 thread, but the conversation started here so its natural to keep it going here aswell. SO far the discussion around the info has been the deepest here so redoing it over at another place seems abit shallow. But sure.
LEGO Family Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) New image of the box art. Ahhhh, its becoming more and more real ..... My precious ! :D Looks great. I remember this from the contest. Now with boxart, im looking forward to seeing the rest of the sets. Edited October 9, 2013 by LEGO Family
Lego Spy Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) New image of the box art. It's funny how Lego manages to make sets look better in the box. Edited October 10, 2013 by ZCerberus Quoting a picture is not needed.
Infernum Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Wow! That box art looks fantastic! I guess that rules out all those rumors of Smaug being included in that set.
