Artanis I Posted November 14, 2012 I have added HR images for all the Hobbit sets to my BS gallery! (Folders still needs to clear) Enjoy! :classic: Thanks mate, we know we can rely on you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted November 14, 2012 I got a Hobbit set from Kmart today. It was a hassle, as they had all the sets in the back of the store in boxes, so I couldn't film and pick through the sets. I did get the Mirkwood set, though! And if y'all can tolerate my (somewhat) annoying voice, here is a video review I made out of the set! It's impressive! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ_1kHP2_ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wesker Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone know if Kili/Fili's hairpiece can be used on Gandalf with the beard piece? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone know if Kili/Fili's hairpiece can be used on Gandalf with the beard piece? Sadly, it can't. I just tried it. The rim of the beard blocks the hair piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmangunz Posted November 15, 2012 So I was able to order the Bag End and Mirkwood sets last night from Kmart. Never bought from them before. I received an conformation for Bag End being shipped but they canceled my Mirkwood set. Called up Customer Service and they told me my Mirkwood set was still being processed despite TWO e-mails from them telling me different. Regardless, they took my money for both sets, so I better have both coming to me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HawkLord Posted November 15, 2012 You guys are right, the quiver does work with Thorin. For some reason it seemed alittle too snug the first time I tried it. Just found that TV clip elsewhere and it is really good. Very spot on Bilbo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pumpkin Pie Posted November 15, 2012 Thank you so much Grogall! The pictures look amazing! I'm so excited for the 27th! (no emoticon could describe my happiness!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pumpkin Pie Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Ugh! I just remembered that I don't even have all the LOTR sets I wanted! And all these cool sets?

Nina Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone else think that the Mirkwood Elf Chief looks a bit like Stephen Colbert (especially the smiling face)? He is supposed to appear in one of the films though the role has not been revealed. I love the idea to have him as a minifigure. (Apologies if this is the wrong thread.)

Sirtank Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) I placed an order through Kmart's website this morning for the Unexpected Gathering and Goblin King Battle sets. I didn't act fast enough for the Warg or Mirkwood sets. I really hate using Kmart's website, I've had many problems with them in the past. Hobbit Legos are worth the risk however.

Fives Posted November 15, 2012 I'm not sure if it is just my computer acting up, but Grogall's folders are still not yet public. Just find it kinda odd it's taking so long. Anyway, it seems like these sets are popping up all over the place. It's a shame I'll need to wait till December 8th to get these. Still, hopefully some reviews will begin to slowly appear!

I have to wait untill December 20th. Hopefully this means there will be some kind of discount because of Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Joker1 Posted November 15, 2012 Hi everyone. I just placed an order for the mirkwook spiders but I am slightly concerned about this, How come the sets are on sale before they have even been released? I have never heard of this happening before. Oh well it should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brodey1 Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Can you share with us what state you are in? I've seen the Hobbit sets at local Freddies, just not the Mirkwood or Barrel sets yet. I am in Washington State, about 60 miles south of Seattle. Edited November 16, 2012 by ZCerberus Fixed quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynx Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for the review, Just2good. I have a question regarding Tauriel's daggers: Can they only be held that low on the handle by minifigures? It looks awkward since the largest part of the handle is sticking out between Tauriel's hand and the crosspiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank guys. Thanks for the review just2good! Thank y'all for the positive feedback! Thanks for the review, Just2good. I have a question regarding Tauriel's daggers: Can they only be held that low on the handle by minifigures? It looks awkward since the largest part of the handle is sticking out between Tauriel's hand and the crosspiece. It can be held, but the plastic gets damaged. Like, a strings of plastic gets dented and falls off. Same goes for Legolas' bow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
