LOTR and the hobbit lego
Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Well, I never thought I would say it, but I'm finally giving in. I said no to Indy, I said no to POC, I said NO, No No, to Star Wars and actually traded all my SW because they went to fleshies...and now finally I find myself giving in. I'm going to collect fleshies....gasp. Can't belive I finally said that!

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Don't know if anybody saw this yet, but here is a new poster that was released with LEGO Aragorn:

By the way, will it be correct to say LEGO Legolas when that figure comes out? Seems redundant.

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Mencot, I know it's terrible. But the problem is I bought POC sets for the torsos for my pirates and couldn't use half of them because they had tan chest parts showing...maybe the LOTR torsos will be all browns and greens, but I think I'm finally just going to keep the fleshie heads and try to incorporate fleshies and yellow...

I dont like the fleshie either, but thats not the biggest reason I don`t buy licensed themes.Thor wrote:Mencot, I know it's terrible.

I think its going to be a bit easier to reuse Lotr minifig parts than poc. We´ll see

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
I just realised that because of the theme we get a Martin Freeman minifig. Sherlock MOCs a go go!

Technically, if there's a set with Smaug we'll get Benedict Cumberbatch, too.RichardAM wrote:I just realised that because of the theme we get a Martin Freeman minifig. Sherlock MOCs a go go!
It's too bad we never got a Sallah minifig, otherwise John Rhys-Davies would be joining Orlando Bloom, Cate Blanchett, and Christopher Lee in the additions to the "Actors-with-two-different-characters-made-into-minifigs" list (assuming we get Galadriel and Saruman eventually, which I think likely but not assured).
Incidently, has anybody else mentioned this yet?

Don't leave Harrison Ford off that list...

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Note that I said additions to the list - the three I mentioned are all LotR actors with one other "minifig credit" to their names.wobnam wrote:And, technically, Kenny BakerKev wrote:Don't leave Harrison Ford off that list...

(Also, Wobnam, could you be confusing Kenny Baker with Warwick Davis? I don't see where the former has been in anything other than Star Wars . . . )
Bringing things back to topic (kinda), if the Marvel Super Heroes line ever gets to the X-Men, we might get to add Ian McKellan to the list, too.

We're getting Magneto and Deadpool in the same set.Azaghal wrote:Bringing things back to topic (kinda), if the Marvel Super Heroes line ever gets to the X-Men, we might get to add Ian McKellan to the list, too.
I've missed this completely, but are we getting a LOTR wave of sets this summer then The Hobbit sets? I love that we're getting for both, but my big fear is that, like all the other licenses (Toy Story/POTC) it's be just these two waves of sets and then nothing else. If there's one thing Lego love doing it's buying an expensive license then supporting it as a theme for only for a year, so I think it's a valid concern. Maybe the fact that there's a Hobbit sequel too will help ensure this doesn't happen though?

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Correct. There will be a LOTR wave this summer followed by a Hobbit wave in December when the first movie is released. I would bet my bottom dollar that both LOTR and Hobbit will each get 2 waves minimum since the Hobbit is broken into two parts. In other words, this theme will last two years at a minimum, but I can see it lasting much longer.RichardAM wrote:I've missed this completely, but are we getting a LOTR wave of sets this summer then The Hobbit sets?

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Hi all,
I cannot believe it. It's like a dream coming true. LEGO LOTR could really put an end to my dark age.
Cannot wait.

Re: LOTR and the hobbit lego
Welcome back Albero.
No doubt there will be 4 waves and 2 years. I would imagine this line will go for a bit longer than that. I would guess it will continue until the second hobbit movie is released on DVD. That would come summer of 2014. Then the hype will finally start dying down. However, if this sells as well as everyone thinks it may go for a bit longer than that.
I am torn on the fleshies. I have no problem leaving the orcs and goblins in their fleshie colors. However, human figs may need to be LEGOfied before I can incorporate them in with the rest of my castle guys. Perhaps, I will just keep the LOTR figs seperate from the rest of my castle collection altogether?
