Does it really matter if you use Dain's helmet on iron hill dwarves

For who should it matter... all iron hillers have that helmet, just put a new Torso and Beard and you have your army

I wonder how many beards it can fit over....It looks as though Gimli's would, at least.

The only major difference between Dain's helmet and the Iron Hills soldiers helmets is the plume that Dain gets. But it is I minor difference, I think I will be picking up a few Dains to build an army, just swap a few beards here and there.

Here's a referance

I'm surprised people are finding these sets in target store.

I had to ask for it from the back using barcodes.

Can you provide any codes? I'm heading to target today, may as well check for some of these.

Alright thanks, I'll be checking target, hopefully i can find something.

It should fit over both styles of Fantasy dwarf beards as well, and Gandalf's, and the old wizards beard, and CMF Santa, and Wiley Fusebot's. The old wizard beard rises up a bit higher, so--judging by Gimli's helmet, it may not fit COMPLETELY snuggly, but enough that it's attached to the stud.

Anyone finding the sets in the Pacific Northwest .... Where's hawkman?

Awesome. That means people could technically make a huge army of the Iron Hills. I personally won't be doing this, but I think it's cool that one could.

Brickshow really did a good review on the Lonely Mountain. They echo the thoughts of many that the set seems significantly overpriced, even when you throw in the Smaug factor. Despite the price, I will pick up one, because I could not imagine "The Hobbit" without the dragon, and Bricklinking a Smaug assembly will likely be very costly. I am hoping the hinges on the door with the key can easily be reversed, it is should open to the inside. There are lots of sand green and pearl gold pieces, so MOC or MOD potential looks good.

I know it might seem very overpriced, which in part it is, but if you watch the review you see how much really goes into Smaug. He has folding wings, his mouth opens on 5 different levels. His head, neck, wings and tail are all on ball joints. I am pretty certain he is the most complex mold Lego has ever produced.

While I like the set on the whole (i love sea green!), Smaug makes the set and he is worth the additional cost... i am certain of it. He is going to be one of those figures that fetches the box price just on his own within a year of the set going OOP! You thought Dinos were bad, just wait.

I agree with you there, people are going to want him more and more with the time

That's why i keep all my boxes and manuals

I wasn't planning on buying the Lonely Mountain set, because of the high price, but after seeing the review... I really want that Smaug. It's massive.

Same, what I dislike about the set though is that I already have all the dwarves included in the set....

I might make a small army of humans with the new pieces. :P

Dude does that matter. They are in full new costumes they are practically new, i would not have liked to see my Kili and Fili fighting in Bo5a in normal clothes :I

It hardly matters to most of you I'm sure, but they re-colored Dwalin's eyebrows this year. They used to be reddish-brown, but in 79018, mine came with dark brown eyebrows, which IMO looks much better. (I'm not sure if this was just a misprint on my mini figs)

Half are spotted at Toysrus and the other half spotted at Target.

79015 - 14.99 USD

79016 - 29.99

79017 - 59.99

79018 - 129.99

Thanks! I think I'll just wait and try to find them online though, I could get a deal out of it.

Yeah I'm doing the best I can to resist buying hobbit sets. They go on sale more frequently than other themes. Good and a bad thing...

The Lake Town sets do seem to look much better together than each on their own. Not so sure about the Dol Guldur sets.

I don't really care about play features but I'm happy that they are better now. Normally we only get catapults and nothing else. :D

Just called my Local Lego Store (in Europe)

Release date: 15 Oct!
