I want to clarify that I don't mean they are sold out, but that there are no actual spots for them. Also, I haven't found the new big Monsters Castle in stores yet at all.

The new figs are great! I just think most of the fellowship is not accurate. The hobbits are ok, Borimir's head and hair is wrong, and Legolas has ears!

I built yesterday the helm's deep.
It's a great set, much better than what I thought when I saw the first pictures. It's expensive, though.

I appreciate that game art/characters don't always translate into real life figs/sets (still waiting for that POTC donkey...) but it's fun seeing what these things MIGHT look like...

Mostly Saruman, the armoured cave troll and the Balrog...

Well, he DID have ears in the movies, and as far as I recall, in the books too. :roflol:

Aw, you beat me to it! :lol: I was watching the trailer for the LLOTR game and noticed all of the cool figures they're showing. I love the Witch King's mace and mount!

And that Barad-Dur in the background looks brick built to me. :eyebrows:

It does look interesting. Can't help but hope some of that makes the real world.

Isn't that a flail / morning star? I guess it's from the mace family?
