Eurobricks has posted a hi-res photo of 9476 The Orc Forge (exclusive to Target? I hear??): http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59315&st=3705&p=1271983&#entry1271983 Smaller Bricklink/Grogall image: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/grogall/LOTR/9476/Thumbs/thumb/b_9476_b...

Did!

The wife and I proved that the bar-code phone app was slower than me anyhow. If I am around a pile of these things I will help any kid that comes up to find exactly what they want. As should everyone else with this "skill". Heck, I even teach other kids and family members how to do it. Kee...

When series 7 was announced, and since it came out, I initially decided that the Boar Knight would be like the Black Falcon in the Royal Joust exclusive set (i.e. special and singular). Since opening a few from the box I ordered, I have decided he is actually quite AMAZING and I want an army of them...

I have almost nothing from the 1980s, because strangely for me I stopped buying LEGO due to the impression (mistaken!) that it wasn't cool or needed anymore. I picked up again around 1992 or 1993, but I missed all the Crusaders, Black Falcons and most of the Black Knights and Wolfpack. I made due wi...

Their floppy, flimsy, and way too colorful to be made of metal "Zwords" were horrid. I would have much rather had more of the classic short-sword or anything else. Could not see much purpose for those. The theme as a whole was not a bad idea, but the execution was bright to the point of be...

And I still hates it!

My Walmart HAD series 6 in March. They kept the series 6 sidecap display and re-filled it with series 5 and marked them up to $3.00 from the original $2.97. Meijers is currently selling all series 5 for $1.50 each. Perhaps Meijers before Walmart in Ohio...

The horse is dead, long live the horse.

Series 7 has not yet reared en masse in the United States yet, if at all. Series 5 still sits at many Walmart stores, and Toys R Us seems to be the only reliable source for Series 6, which they have many of still. It might not be until late May or June for us.

@ kevdragon,
I suspect it's the hat effect combined with the skirt/slope.

Dear LEGO, Please stop ruining this part: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2339 http://www.bricklink.com/PL/2339.jpg I do not know what has possessed you to alter the underside of the arch so that it no longer clutches bricks, but I have found myself overlooking any and all sets that conta...

When we get to Hobbit sets, I would expect a few of the following possibilities: 1. Bag End, Bilbo's humble home. 2. Troll Camp, a major action moment in the preview, the book and an opportunity for a few of the 13 Dwarves. 3. Spider Sting, another major action moment where Bilbo really sticks it to...

It is going to be confusing if you Call it Black Falcons Fortress. That would be like if I were writing a book and calling it The Lord of the Rings. I think the most important thing to do is have a unique identity and design philosophy.

I am sad that Eric Brok has passed on, but I am glad to have touched spheres with him. He was loved, and shall be missed.
