Philip Robin Posted March 15, 2012 Not me. As a yellowist, I would rather the hobbits had no printing than fleshy printing. I would only agree with you if the skin tone were yellow, but that isn't going to happen as this is a licensed range. Amps Yeah, I didn't consider that. I'm a yellowist too. I guess it is better...

Delta 38 Posted March 16, 2012 Clearly supposed to be boots. The only figures I've seen with boot printing would have to be the older Avatar figures, and the collectible minifigs, and now as for the latter which is mostly due to cheapness of the printing, while normal figures would cost more. Hmm, that's what they're supposed to be, but I'm not seeing it very well... Would it be much harder to have a small brown rectangle on the leg prints? If they're already printing clothing on the legs, I don't know why they can't do boots while they're at it. I don't want anything too complex, no side leg printing or anything like Wonder Woman, but just a colour to break up dull colours like grey would be good.

Philip Robin Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Aagorn's legs are currently very annoying. I'll most likely swap them out for something from the Pirates of the Caribbean line. Edited March 16, 2012 by Philip Robin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted March 18, 2012 Aagorn's legs are currently very annoying. I'll most likely swap them out for something from the Pirates of the Caribbean line. I'm sure a lot of that will be going on. Before LOTR, POTC has the most detailed minifigs. I, frankly, don't care about the boots. I'm just happy with the face and torso prints.

narbilu Posted March 19, 2012 Wich ones are we waiting for now? How about some pre-lims for this winter Like: Faramir, Eowyn, Witchking, Saroman, Elrond, Arwen, a couple of dwarves and Bilbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted March 19, 2012 Hooray! Well, I have to say that these figures look fantastic, just as they did before. So, I suppose that was all of them then? Now all I need to know about is the torso print under Theoden's armor and the figure's second expressions... Other than that, I think we should be ready to start seeing the next wave's sets - unfortunately, that's probably gonna take another few months. ~ General Magma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted March 19, 2012 Eomer looks awesome! And Theoden is just as good as before, and he looks really cool in that CGI pose! Yet, we still need to see the Moria goblins, and the Troll, if he gets put on the site at all. After they appear, all the figs will be on the site. I'm guessing that, if the goblins and troll appear at all, it won't be until the end of March, which means still two months before the sets are released. But hopefully, as others have said, we should start seeing prelim lists and pics before this first wave is on shelves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omicron Posted March 19, 2012 How about some pre-lims for this winter Like: Faramir, Eowyn, Witchking, Saroman, Elrond, Arwen, a couple of dwarves and Bilbo. Judging by past licenses and their movie tie ins, the winter sets will most likely just be straight up Hobbit. -Omi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindice Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Probably so, would be great to see maybe one or two LOTR sets in. They may do it just to keep the interest level raised until a bigger wave. I'm just hoping more than anything! I made a mistake of looking at the photos of the first wave on flickr during my lunchbreak. This is going to break the bank! Just wondering how many duplicate sets other people are thinking of buying for the purposes of army building? I quite fancy a few trolls but that could get pricey real quick!

Stiel Posted March 20, 2012 Just wondering how many duplicate sets other people are thinking of buying for the purposes of army building? I quite fancy a few trolls but that could get pricey real quick! 2-4 copies of Uruk-Hai Army along with the one Helm's Deep, but that's the only battle scene I want to build (for now), so that's it. Single minifigures are fine from BL (Legolas comes to mind). Hoping for a battle pack-ish set with some elves somewhere along the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindice Posted March 20, 2012 Check BL. It is likely cheaper than buying sets. Moria does have usefull pieces and 'Figs, though. I do really like that Moria set. If you get the usual buy 2 get 3rd free sales and pick up 3 of them you could always put the duplicate fellowship characters on ebay and probably end up with the mines and 3 trolls plus some extra minifigs for a reasonable price. I did that with 6 of the hogwarts castles and ended up paying a small amount of money for six lego castles plus one full set of minifigs and a load of dementors.

Philip Robin Posted March 26, 2012 So, I know I was the last to post on this thread, but it's been quite inactive, so... Don't get me wrong, I love the cave troll in Moria, but does anyone else find it a bit odd that TLG felt the need to add a shirt to the troll? The tan block on its chest kinda bugs me. If you watch the film, the troll is quote clearly naked. Oh, well. I can still live with it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Artanis I Posted March 28, 2012 Now that you show the actual bigature, it looks very accurate. Odd how I never noticed that tan belly in the film, sorry for being pessimistic. In your defence the lighting in the scene is very dull, and the action fast-paced. I'm not that surprised you didn't notice by watching the film. Similarly I didn't realise it was blue before, I thought it was slimy green/grey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta 38 Posted March 28, 2012 I don't think the trolls belly is too drastic. It looks as it should. Have we seen the final version yet? I do think the printing there should be broken up a bit, because it's a flat colour. I wonder if it's too late to change the blue. A slightly darker bluish-grey colour might work better.
