bachamn Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 But where's Azogs claw in this? looks like he's holding it in his right hand. Since it appears to be a 'dinner' scene, maybe he was using it as a utensil in LEGO-comedy fashion ;) Quote
deskp Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 looks like he's holding it in his right hand. thats a knife from the friends sets. But i think this is an early screenshot before they had made his claw hand animations or something. Quote
kevkipo Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 thats a knife from the friends sets. But i think this is an early screenshot before they had made his claw hand animations or something. I also think that Lego has gotten great at printing, jsut look at radagast's hat/beard, thranduils hair/crown, bofurs hat/hair, laktown guards helmets etc. Bolg is the same color as his father, lego chouse to make Azog tan so they should follow that through with Bolg. DOS the movie is less saturated than AUJ It just feels like they pay no attention to the fact that these orcs are related.. The lego game will proapbly throw in alot of bad father/son jokes but the design does not work out. Also in the movie Bolg's metal plates have kindof grown into his head, but the lego wearsion is like some hat thing sitting on top. -also best look at smaug yet.Theres a whole lot of inaccuracies going on, making Smaug very unimpressive. He should have been magnificent but ends up being kindof meh, hate it when lego disapoints... That Smaug is looking fantastic! You really have to keep in mind this is Animated, it is not the real mouth... maybe he is talking at this specific screenshot and his mouth might be different. Again what is Balin doing there? Quote

But hes mouth is like that on the cover aswell as the baby smaug. Balin is there because in the game you can ALWAYS play 2 player, thats why the goblin is alive with bilbo in gollums cave and that is why Balin went with Bilgo into smaug. Same thing goes for radagas joining gandalf in dol guldur etc. Quote

Cammo Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Where do all these images come from? Is there already a walkthrough leaked or something? Quote

hoiharry Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Why does Azog as two normal hand in the picture? Quote
deskp Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Why does Azog as two normal hand in the picture? we have discussed that earlier on this very page Quote
kevkipo Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 baby smaug is extremely based on real samug... You never know the flaws... the torso on Baby Smaug is not real Smaug at ALL Quote
kevkipo Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 I've just checked Brickipedia They say that the biggest set is called "King under the mountain" I don't really believe this, but it is a potential name Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 @kevkipo: I wouldn't trust anything on brickipedia unless it involves crystal-clear proof (preferably in the form of pictures) I think a name including the word "Erebor" will be much more likely since TLG rarely use abstract set names Quote

One of the admins there still keeps the mainspace fairly decent, but I wouldn't trust anything on the forums. Edited April 4, 2014 by BFN Quote
Fives Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 baby smaug is extremely based on real samug... Whats baby Smaug? I've kinda been absent from this thread for a LONG time. From what I can gather, we should be expecting some images of the sets/figs within the coming week? If this is true, its very exciting. Getting a full look at Smaug, along with some of the Dwarf warriors, will be very welcome. Also, I can't decide whether or not I like the Darth Maul style Bolg headpiece. I feel like Bolg needed to be similar in height and stature to Azog, so not going with a similar head/shoulders piece seems like an odd move. Maybe they decided to make him look smaller so Beorn looks more menacing when set beside him? Quote

No set reveals, just the video game release coming up I hope that design of Bolg isn't the one we get assuming we get one at all. But he looks good in white. If we get Azog again say in the BOFA set I hope they take the opportunity to recolor him white. Edited April 4, 2014 by Floundie Quote
Fives Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Baby Smaug is adorable! And Gimli has a diaper... I'm not sure how I feel about that Quote
Faefrost Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Why are we assuming that the game designs are what we will see in the plastic? We certainly have never really seen that in either LotR, Marvel or Batman2? Yeah some stuff matched up. Other things were not even close. There is no way to really predict which way it will go, beyond if it looks to good, chances are its in game only. Quote

There is no way to really predict which way it will go, beyond if it looks to good, chances are its in game only. Every fig from LOTR wave 2 was almost exactly spot on to the video game versions. Same goes for Marvel superheroes... So yeah it's reasonable to expect that the figs in the game will at least be very similar to the ones we get. Edited April 5, 2014 by Floundie Quote
Smeagol314 Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Where do all these images come from? Is there already a walkthrough leaked or something? The pictures are from the official LEGO Hobbit site! (http://thehobbit.lego.com/en-us/videogame) Quote

There is no way to really predict which way it will go, beyond if it looks to good, chances are its in game only. we are aware, but with lotr it did match up. Besides there is nothing else to talk about really, and if we maybe see minifigs designs we'll get in the sets that is kindof a huge deal ;) With some design from the games you can tell that its inferior to legos standard in wich cases we'll know we wont see that in the sets.

BrickBob Studpants Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 TT Games only design characters themselves that TLG hasn't already designed Or can you imagine TLG going like "yeah, we already have our designs ready for *insert character here*, but won't let you use it for the game, go make up something yourselves "? In the last few games, we've seen plenty of minifigs that appeared later in sets (the entirety of the latest Marvel wave, pretty much all minifigs in the LOTR wave 2 except Grima etc). I think time is the main factor here, which is why some characters in previous games don't match up, e.g. Flash and Man-Bat in LEGO Batman 2. The game was released in 2012 and the minifigs in 2014, which is quite a gap. The design process is usually concluded around a year prior to the release, so it's safe to assume that said minifigs were designed in 2013 (or at least surely after the release of the game). Once a minifig design is set in stone, there's no real reason to deny it to TT Quote
wesker Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Wormtongue's torso print was the same as the figure, only the face was different. The game was probably working with an earlier design. Quote
kevkipo Posted April 5, 2014 Posted April 5, 2014 Let's talk about that on the LOTR forum shall we Quote
deskp Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Theres lots of gameplay videos from the game on youtube now. The only Characther I've seen so far that i think is directly from the upcoming sets is the Witch king. Galadriel I really doubt is taken from the sets. in game she got yellow Elrond hair and what looks like Arwen's face Witch king picture imminent: The reason I think hes from the sets: 1 The crown is FAT, lego dosent really make thin molds, but the videogame sometimes does. 2 All the print is new. NOT from lotr game. 3 It looks really good 4 it has quirky details - It should be noted that the crown does not look like it does in AUJ, but They used the wrong crown in that movie. - Am I sure it's the real deal? obviously not, but lets speculate!
