October 27, 201410 yr Never mind, I'm posting them now! This is my Tolkien collection. The pictures aren't nearly as good as Cammo's, because my good camera's out of battery, and my phone's camera has been focusing strangely as of late. (I might take some better ones later.) To top it all off, I couldn't get the lighting to look very good across the wide space it takes up because it's nighttime where I live. XP The whole setup, from the right. The same, but on the left. My upper-left shelf, with And Unexpected Gathering, Gandalf Arrives, my Target exclusive Bilbo Baggins and Lake-Town chase. The Tower of Orthanc, which actually sits on my table because of its height. My middle shelf, with Weathertop, The Council of Elrond, 2nd age Elrond and The Mines of Moria. Mines of Moria, My custom 2nd age Sauron, The Orc forge, My custom Radagast's sled, Dol Guldur. The Lonely Mountain, Riddles then The Black gate. Bottommost shelf. Attack of the Wargs, Shelob attacks, Mirkwood Spiders and Mirkwood elf Army. What do you guys think?

On 10/25/2014 at 2:35 PM, kevkipo said: Yes, but it needs to sell very very well No. Too late. The sets releasing next year would already be set in stone. Releasing anything the following year would be too big a gap.

October 27, 201410 yr On another note, I just FINALLY bought LEGO The Hobbit, LotR (Which I already have), the big/little character pack and like two other Tolkien games from Steam for like $10.00! The offer ends in about three hours, so if you're interested you should act fast!!!

October 27, 201410 yr To those who have gotten their hands on The Lonely Mountain set, if you could tell me exactly how many pieces is Smaug comprised of out of the total set, I know he has some extra studs on his back so I just want to verify the exact amount.

October 27, 201410 yr Nice display, Hypernova. Do you have a better picture of your Sauron? I can't really make out what it looks like...

October 27, 201410 yr Anyone else think the brick built section on Smaug's back could be an indication that the body portion could be used for a Fell Beast? I can't really tell why else it has a brick built potion of the body.

I can't really tell why else it has a brick built potion of the body. I did think that is was so it could be reused but I was thinking more of a castle line down the line than a fell beast although I would love to be wrong.

Smaug is at least 3x as big as a Fel Beast. Even uising some parts from Smaug for a Fel Beast would look weird.

October 27, 201410 yr Is it possible they were already planning the Jurassic World sets when designing Smaug? His torso might make a passable dinosaur of some kind. EDIT: Or it could just be for general playability purposes. They may have just appreciated the fact that a fair number of people will want to try sitting a minifigure on a dragon's back at some point. Edited October 27, 201410 yr by Srbandrews

October 28, 201410 yr All dragons have had studs on the back. Actually I don't have any vikings dragons so I don't know, but all other dragons have. By "all", I mean both. Both dragons...
October 28, 201410 yr I have all the viking dragons, they are all brick-built, but they have a few studs in the middle of their back, for a viking to sit on. Except the two small ones, they don't have studs.

Smaug is at least 3x as big as a Fel Beast. Even uising some parts from Smaug for a Fel Beast would look weird. If they made a fell beast (with a Witch King on his back) the same size as Smaug, I'd buy it. Have you ever placed Frodo or Bilbo next to Gandalf and realised the scale is not quite right? That happens with Lego, but for the most part looks fine.
