Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
Considering that the Rohirrim were badly outnumbered, one could almost argue that the Uruk Hai Army set serves the function of being an army-building set for both sides (assuming you're ok with having Eomer clones comprising half of your forces ).
I'd totally be down for an elf pack though.

Didn't see that one coming!
I'd love some Osgiliath/Minas Tirith sets released with Gondor battle packs as well.

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
I'm right there with you! Order of the White Tree ftw! They could even include a Pippin 'fig in uniform or something.

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
There is a rumor going around that Lego made some sort of agreement with the Lord of the Rings people that they wouldn't sell a minifigure/s by itself (themselves), possibly because it would be too parallel to the licensed action figures. Has anybody else heard this? Anything from a more reliable source than me?
Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
There is a similar agreement with Lucasfilm. TLG has the rights to building sets, not action figures - hence why they can't sell the minifigs on their own.Mr. President wrote:There is a rumor going around that Lego made some sort of agreement with the Lord of the Rings people that they wouldn't sell a minifigure/s by itself (themselves), possibly because it would be too parallel to the licensed action figures.

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
Well, yeah, but as we've all seen from the Star Wars battle packs, they only have to throw in a few parts to make it a "building set". I don't see there being much in the way of legal obstacles in terms of releasing similar LOTR battle packs.

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
I'm not familiar with any agreements, but I think SW gets away with it by adding parts to make something like a vehicle or by not putting specific characters in their battle packs (if that were the issue). I'm not looking for nor expecting a pack to include specific characters. I'd be more than happy with packs that included a general group like the Rohan soldier or the basic Urk-hai.

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
Same here. I dont want a gondor battle pack that has, say, 2 gondor soldiers, a ranger, and denethor and faramir. I would MUCH rather have 3 gondor soldiers and 2 rangers... That is the problem with the uruk hair army set, it has Eomer, so if you get ten of them you get a ton of eomers. Plus it only includes one rohan soldier...Quickblade22 wrote:I'm not familiar with any agreements, but I think SW gets away with it by adding parts to make something like a vehicle or by not putting specific characters in their battle packs (if that were the issue).

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
What I wouldn't give for a rohan battle pack...it would be a great way to get some awesome torsoes, those sick rohan helmets, rubber tipped spears. Especially since I didn't get the uruk hai army.

Re: LotR & Hobbit Battle packs
Battle packs should be made for the Uruk-Hai, men of Rohan, men of Gondor, Orcs in general, and possibly Haradrim/Easterlings. They would be cool battle packs
For the Glory of Loreos!
