Really loving that Hun/Barbarian. Don't really care about the horns, but oh well.

Great stuff! I'll go for all three of those castle related ones. Love the wizard! We definitely need more variety in wizardom, and his overall look is fantastic. I skipped the Simpsons, and hardly found any of the movie ones I wanted, so I'm fresh for a new go-round with these guys!

That's cool! Have they done other fairground attractions? A Ferris wheel would be cool!

Great looking castle, I love it!

My understanding is that they are starting production on new POTC movies. Perhaps they are planning on having this new line on the shelves to coincide with those movies, rather than licensing them.

I was only excited about this if we were going to get a donut...now the donut is a printed round tile? I guess a donut is a donut, but it isn't going to get me to buy this line of figs. And this may kill my enthusiasm for the collecti figs completely. So..those of you happy..yay you can have my sha...

I want them to do a realistic modular type line. First, I'd like new, realistic heraldry. Preferably like at least 4 different factions presented in the same way they were back in the old yellow castle days, in 'fresh' color combos (green & white, black & yellow, etc.): First picture: http:/...

My mistake; I saw 'barred gates' and automatically thought of portcullis.

Agree that doors are more practical, and should be more common than gates.

Are we complaining about drawbridges here? I think they provide a cool function to a castle, and if you have a drawbridge, you have to have a portcullis backing it up. Doors are fine. I like the ones on Helm's Deep. But I prefer them on the keep proper, rather than in the main gate in the wall. Cran...

When I first looked at this, I thought, 'oh, towers!' as well. Maybe not just for the top of a tower, but to use for a few floors in the tower as well.

Not a Simpsons fan at all, but the big positive for me is the licensed CMF line. We've heard a lot about Lego not having 'action figure' rights in SW & LOTR. Since they obviously acquired them for the Simpsons, my hope is that they might be able to do the same for LOTR, since there have been no ...

I did some thinking and research today. The Star Wars battle packs that seem to be the model for what we expect for LOTR minifig battle packs came out after there had been about 9 years worth of sets and product. I can't see LOTR making a 9+ year run unfortunately. On the other side, minifigs and t...

I don't know why they don't end these movies with a teaser trailer for the next one. Maybe they should add a trailer for TABA to the end of the Hobbit after it's been out for 4 or 5 weeks?

I guess lego thinks that SW sells a bigger volume of sets, so they can make a big profit off of a $12 4-fig army builder, whereas LOTR sells slower, so they need to use figs to sell bigger sets. I think lego is making a mistake, and $12, 4-fig sets of Rohan, Gondor, Armored Elves (Helms deep, then M...

I like that a lot! The troll rider is awesome.
