Thank you deskp for putting the pictures of the minifigs together.
Thanks to Wolvarie for making most of my points since I typed out a full review of the sets and lost the darn post. since I agree on almost all points I will not retype it and just say ditto!
I agree with deskp's assesment of the minifigs for the most part. I only note that Oin's beard looks better now from the front view where you can see more of his grey beard under his white mustache.
The biggest thing for me in these sets are the torsos. If TLG were to release civilian castle sets yearly for the next ten years I doubt we would get a variety of colors and style of torsos the dwarves give us! Just look at the nobles, adventurers, peasants, and merchants you can make with those. My castle world is going to be much more diverse with these available.
Of note are the leaves in new colors and mushrooms. I just wish there were more.

Dale, the real question for you is if you added lights to the castle yet!
I agree- the torsos and hair pieces are excellent!

So, we almost have all the information on the new Hobbit sets. We are only missing the piece count for two, and the confirmed price for one. This is what things are looking like:
Riddles for the Ring
Set Number: 79000
MSRP: $9.99
Pieces: 105
Price Per Piece: 0.10
Minifigures: Gollum, Bilbo in red coat
Escape from Mirkwood Spiders
Set Number: 79001
MSRP: $29.99
Pieces: 298
Price Per Piece: 0.10
Minifigures: Legolas, Tauriel, Fili, Kili
Barrel Escape
Set Number: 79004
MSRP: $39.99
Pieces: ?
Price Per Piece: ?
Minifigures: Bilbo in red coat, Gloni, Oin, 2 Elves
Attack of the Wargs
Set Number: 79002
MSRP: $49.99
Pieces: 400
Price Per Piece: 0.12
Minifigures: Bifur, Thorin, Yazneg, 2 Orcs
An Unexpected Gathering
Set Number: 79003
MSRP: $59.99-69.99 (supposedly this was quoted in a contest with this set as one of the prizes, despite it conflicting with earlier reports of a $59.99 price tag)
Pieces: ?
Price Per Piece: ?
Minifigures: Bilbo in brown, Gandalf, Balin, Dwalin, Bofur, Bombur
The Goblin King Battle
Set Number: 79010
MSRP: $99.99
Pieces: 841
Price Per Piece: 0.12
Minifigures: Gandalf, Nori, Dori, Ori, 2 Orcs/Goblins, Scribe (?)
Looks pretty good to me! All the sets are around the 10-12 cent PPP point so we don't have any high ones (so far) like we did with the first LotR wave (Gandalf Arrives and Attack on Weathertop). The only thing now is to find out if any of the minor characters in the sets have names, the piece count for An Unexpected Gathering and Barrel Escape, and the price for sure for An Unexpected Gathering.

I did the same thing deskp did, except to the gray warg to give it a darker gray/black mane and some yellow eyes. Sorry it's a bit sloppy, I rushed it but you get the idea. I still think the brown one deskp did looks the best, but i think having a colored mane regardless of the warg color also helps break up the monotone color on the head/body and give it a little flare:

Did anyone notice those brown dishes 4x4? They didn't exist in brown although I have a bunch in old brown (maybe some designer leftovers?!)

Does anyone know if the Wargs jaws move, only the white one has its mouth open whereas the grey one appears to be closed. So either they are moveable or they are two different warg models?

They are DEFINITELY moveable. Here you can see the gray warg with it's mouth open, and the higne on it's jaw (their heads can move up and down as well):

2013? These are out by December 1st! I would guess we'll see them at TRU before mid November!
I suppose you are referring to the "other" sets due out after December 31. Who would buy outside history though?

It's definitely movable. The joint looks very similar to the jaws of the raptors in the Dino theme.

Off topic: No I have not.
I am not planning to until the spring. Brickworld is the only show where the lights would even be seen. I have been building my next section for a show in December. I have also displayed 2 more times since BrickWorld. All of the work needed each time I display the monstosity that is Goldcrest has eaten up all of my LEGO time. On topic: The change in the mane color makes all of the difference in the world! I might make a guess that the wargs body may be reused for other animals with short tails.
I wish instead of the dishes they made the 4x4 round plate in brown. That would be a great addition to the barrels set.

Hey guys,
@deskp would you repost your mod? For some reason my computer can't find the image.
And @Deathleech, your mod is so cool that I wish there were more colors for the wargs.

Didn't know we had seen the torso print? Any chance someone can point me to it.
