All 13 dwarves is the big +1 from me

Hi guys
I'm trekking down from the mountains to attend Sydney's first BrickShow on Sat June 2.
Are there any other Aussies going that would like to meet up?
Cheers
Annie

Ditto mate. I really think the Urak-hai shield and sword combo is exactly like the movie depiction. The Orc ear pieces are epic. How exciting!

June, July and August feel like FOREVER away

Great find with that link - if it interests you you look a little deeper, you'll find women warriors in most cultures

We had a great discussion of it over here when the viking woman warrior was announced in Minifig Series 7.

Same same. Ooooo Gimli and Aragorn *swoon*

9469 Gandalf Arrives Likely refers to the opening of "Fellowship", will probably include Frodo, Gandalf, a cart (vehicle!), and maybe a tree. This is the set in the $12 -15 rangeish, is my guess. 9470 Shelob Attacks ROTK, Minifigs are Frodo, Sam, and (maybe) Gollum. A giant spider is a pr...

The big debate is going to be on the quiver/long hair/bow all on the back. Is there some new combo of molds that will work together for our minifigs? The thought of it is exciting. This was exactly my second thought after the cheekbones. I wonder if the longbow is clipping onto the quiver? How long...

Sorry if it has already been posted:

Not sure how I feel about the cheekbones....

This is great, made me lol

Hi Thor, I have PMed you

Also, think of this line as a gateway theme. I believe this line was designed to pull in those who are not currently fans of Lego. I wouldn't be surprised if this line was sold in the girls section and not the Lego section. My friend, I believe thou hast hit it! Well put Username, indeed after read...

With this line, you see TLG trying to incorporate the system bricks in with the girls line. This was not so with Belville, which had a lot of huge pieces that were not really “building” nor part of the system. That is a very good point, at which case I am glad it is not a continuation of Belville. ...

I actually think that a whole line fashioned towards girls like this disappoints me and I find it rude. Lego is about FUN for children of all ages. Why promote segregation of fans?



Plus these figures are tacky and I'm sure girls would prefer just more female minifigs.

Ditto
But on the positives - more dwarves, elves, cool beards, small legs and hairy feet!
