@kevkipo: Yeah, but there's one catch though: the Nuremberg Toy Fair is not a public event, you need to be involved in the toy business in order to gain access This slims the chance of Hobbit/LOTR fans attending quite significantly

@Andeh: The most important Toy Fair is the one in New York, starting Feb 16th This is the only one that doesn't have any photo restrictions I highly recommend keeping an eye on the fbtb flickr channel once it starts, they always provide great pictures

Wow! i didn't know that! Hmm... i always see video's with Children running in to Toy Fair -.- just marketing i guess...

Sorry if this has been posted before but today I´ve seen at Gamestop a Lego Hobbit Video Game ad and it said that both XBox pre-order editions contain a minifigure. I live in Germany so it may be different in other countries. I hope this minifigure will be exclusive because it just said: minifigure. I couldn´t shot a photo but if you want I´ll do it next time.

Oooh, an exclusive minifigure? I wonder who it could be... I'm hoping for a King Thrain

It did not say exclusive but I think it would be very likely. I hope we'll get Thrain or maybe an armoured Sauron as we probably won't get him in the new sets.

Will we be able to see Hobbit sets at NYTF? I only ask because I know in the Superheroes theme we aren't aloud to see GOTG because of potential spoilers for the movie.

I doubt it. The same would go with The Hobbit sets. Think about the last two waves- we saw pictures less than a month before their release.

@just2good: True, but those were released in December so they obviously weren't present at the Toy Fairs The TABA sets are released in October and were shown at the London Toy Fair, so they should be on display in NY as well

Ah, I forgot that October-planned release date and how they were shown at the London Toy Fair. Very true. I think that photography won't be allowed on those in particular, but maybe they'll leak on YouTube like the MoS/IM3 sets did from the toy fairs last year.

I don't think it's looking good for the NY toy fair at the moment. They might do what they did last year and just reveal one set due to movie secrecy.

@Darth Punk: I think you're referring to the SDCC reveals, where they usually show one set per theme of the following winter releases At the NYTF, they've usually displayed all sets, even though photography was not always allowed (e.g. for Toy Story 3). Even if they prohibit photography, at least we get better descriptions and/or leaks

That was at comic con. But things are different this year, its being released in october so potential spoilers will come either way. The most telling part was that the sets were at london toy fair..

I dont want to offend you ZCerberus, but he wasnt moderating anything, he just want to notice that this is lego Hobbit 2014 topic, and that many of previous post did not respect that. And I thing that anyone can reply to that issue. I find this as a little bit territorial behaviour, but dont get me wrong almost everybody behaves like that.. :)

Yes take a pic please, Could you describe it? or didn't you see the minifig?

i don't know what we will get! Pictures, Video's, Info

But i have fate in NY toy fair, we will see something no matter what!

I mean they have to! We will see Smaug in the video game thats for sure :P

EDIT: Just checked the Deutsch gamestop, this is what i read

The Special edition has a lot of extra's including a Exclusive Minifigure

So that means it will be Exclusive

Edited February 1, 201411 yr by kevkipo

Yes you are right, it was comic con. I,think there seemed to be a good deal missing in London so I don't really count it. But my point was, I guess, that we probably won't see much until the leaked pics come out from production. But who knows, TLG is always looking to throw us a curve ball, some times a slider.

Are they much stricter in Nuremberg about who gets in? Because I haven't seen anyone anywhere saying they have been to the fair. All the info seems to based on photos from Promo Bricks.

@kevkipo The poster was the same we saw in the instruction books of the second Hobbit wave, only that on the left in the bottom was something written (what I've told you already). No box and no minifigures just text. But I'll keep my eyes open.

gamestop.de:

"Special Edition (GameStop Exclusive!) Features:

• The Special Edition is (following figure) in a special package including minifigure delivered. Exclusively at GameStop for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One."
  

I can't believe this!

Now they have Mixels and DC Junior at Nuremberg too!

I don't know but Mixels and DC are licensed right!?

Mixels is as licensed as Chima is. DC Juniors is licensed, though. But it ain't based on any upcoming film.

DC Juniors is licensed, I don't know about Mixels, but there is/will be a show on Cartoon Network.

Maybe we'll get infos later, the fair closes monday. Maybe they'll reveal it on monday. I hope we'll see something soon, even if they'd only give is the set names.

Does LEGO have SDCC exclusives?

For Super Heroes... We did get the Azog minifigure early last SDCC, though.

Crap, i was going to say maybe we'd get a Hobbit exclusive this year.

Yeah maybe they reveal it at closing... :( maybe, i would be already happy with only set names!

That keeps me happy long enough to wait for NY

Really if we dont get anything from NY toy fair i will commit suicide, Joking of course...
