llb Posted July 12, 2012 Lord of the Brick A list of sets for LEGO Hobbit is already registered on a site selling online German (Spielwaren-kontor24.de) and although one can still doubt the reality of the thing, we can legitimately think that is close to what will be the first wave of sets scheduled for December 2012. We thus find: 79000 - Mystery of the Ring 79001 - Fleeing From The Mirkwood Spiders 79002 - Attack of the Wargs 79003 - Bag End 79010 - Cave of the Orc King Little or no information on the content of these sets for now, except that it is probably 79,003 Bag End set to be unveiled today at the Comic Con in San Diego .... Translated into English - rumours of course.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider-Man Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Those were credited yesterday as just rumors. It is pure speculation on their part. A couple pages back you can see the discussion about that exact same web page. Edited July 12, 2012 by Spider-Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fives Posted July 12, 2012 The reason that list of sets sounds like speculation to me is that, other than Bag End, the set names seem to be strange. I really doubt that a set depicting Gollum's cave will be called Mystery of the Ring. It would most likely be called 'Gollum's Cave'. Same goes for the other, especially the Orc King one. The name of the character is the Great Goblin, so if there is a set that would use his name, it would probably be something using Great Goblin, not Orc King. Anyway, hopefully we'll get at least a set list along with the pics of Bag End. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Magma Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) The reason that list of sets sounds like speculation to me is that, other than Bag End, the set names seem to be strange. I really doubt that a set depicting Gollum's cave will be called Mystery of the Ring. It would most likely be called 'Gollum's Cave'. Same goes for the other, especially the Orc King one. The name of the character is the Great Goblin, so if there is a set that would use his name, it would probably be something using Great Goblin, not Orc King. Surely the goblins from The Hobbit will be the same as Moria orcs, so it is possible that they end up referring to him as the Orc King as well, other than The Great Goblin. But nonetheless, it seems like a strange list to me purely based on the first half of the book. The Battle of Dol Guldur was supposed to appear in the movie with the White Council 'n all, it would be strange of them to miss out on the opportunity to have Gandalf, Radagast, Galadriel, Saruman, Elrond, Sauron as The Necromancer and maybe a few Ringwraiths in one set... and this way all the sets just focus on Bilbo, not looking forward to another Jack Sparrow or Anakin Skywalker party. (The drinks sucked ) I'm hoping for the actual set list soon (as well as some pictures), and I hope that it's a good one... $80 sets based on scenes situated inside of caves that don't have much to them don't make sense to me anymore. That might work as a $20-40 set, but $80? Edited July 12, 2012 by General Magma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) From Lego's Facebook page. That's the most green I've seen in a set in a long time. Edited July 12, 2012 by prateek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted July 12, 2012 Pictures, finally. Thanks prateek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider-Man Posted July 12, 2012 Sweet! I wonder how much it will be? Looks like a nice $40 set in my opinion, but more likely it will be $50 I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skalldyr Posted July 12, 2012 I'll buy it. And I like the way LEGO build its new models with many bricks and not half open! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

______ Posted July 12, 2012 YES! It looks perfect, so much green as well! I love it, can't wait to make my own Shire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ceroknight Posted July 12, 2012 Looks brilliant! Thanks prateek! But is that the set that's supposed to be the same price as Weathertop? Better not be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbo Baggins Posted July 12, 2012 Amazing, really looking forward for some pictures of the inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks prateek! That looks awesome! You are right, that's a lot of green! Probably the most green I've seen in a set in a long time! I'm really excited for this set! I love the way they used SNOT to get the round door effect, and from what I can see, Theodore itself looks like it could be a new piece. Also, it looks like the roof will be detachable from the top for access inside. Can't wait to see some more pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edmond Dantes Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Hollow round 4X4 plates? Whoooooooooooooohoooooooooo Isn't the door a round 6x6? Edit: Orange flowers too?! Edited July 12, 2012 by Edmond Dantes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMP Posted July 12, 2012 It looks good enough, I suppose. Accurate, and I can't imagine LEGO doing much better with the organic feel the Shire has. I fear the Weathertop Effect though. Solid build, good parts, terrible price. Seriously though, that's a lot of green. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted July 12, 2012 This is a great set. I like all the green, and the round windows with some new bricks. I'm definitely looking forward seeing more from the theme. Thanks for the picture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghostmind Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) With 6 minifigs in this set, I would guess at a $60USD price point. EDIT: That is one amazing looking set... and applicable to both sets of movies. Edited July 12, 2012 by ghostmind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falconer Posted July 12, 2012 Holy guacamole! That is a freakin’ sweet set! I would rather have it than any of the LOTR ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted July 12, 2012 Wow... I wasn't really anticipating a Bag End set, but then I see this! It looks amazing - at first it didn't even look like an actual set to me. The designers of the Middle-Earth sets AND minifigures are doing a fantastic job! Can't wait to see the rest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxim I Posted July 12, 2012 I just love that set!! But I fear it will be a bit more expensive than 50$ Look at all the new pieces Lego made for this set and all those figures... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
