Durins Bane Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 And from what im seeing, the helmets have the white hand of sauron...
TenorPenny Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 The Wargs don't really come into the Hobbit until the end, right, so will probably only feature in sets from the second film? Just a thought!
Philip Robin Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 And from what im seeing, the helmets have the white hand of sauron... Okay, I'm getting the impression that you're a troll. Where in the world did you get a Uruk-Hai?!? Are you thinking of something else? (By the way, the white hand is Saruman's. Sauron has the flaming eye).

dwarf-brik Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 @Durins Bane: Where, exactly, did you find this Uruk-Hai minifig? I am betting that it is a custom you mistook for the real thing.

The Joker1 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Holy crap. That's friggin' awesome. I second that. I must have one.
The Legonater Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I'm sorry, but I highly doubt this. Mind you, I've always been among the slowest to believe most rumors on this site, but the fact is that picture could have easily been Photoshopped, and it wouldn't surprise me. Many people have came on here claiming that a friend in TLG showed them something. It rarely is true. Until I see official pictures, I'm out.
CMP Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Until I see official pictures, I'm out. Honestly, I'm usually the same way, but I don't see how this could be photoshopped that well (unless you're referring to the white hand alone, in which case, yeah, maybe). I mean, it's caught the glare of the lighting, and the shadow behind it is just too perfect to be fake, in my mind, although I am very skeptical about where this came from.
GRogall Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 There is no Photoshopping in the picture presented! I do professional Photoshopping and 99% of the time I can tell.

Haltiamieli Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Well, anything these days could be photoshopped. But that pic seems genuine, and there's nothing so strange or spectacular in there that I would bother to doubt it much. As far as I remember there was a white hand in a helmet already in some leaked prelim picture, even if there was none later in the toy fair models. So a comeback is not that unwarranted.
CMP Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 There is no Photoshopping in the picture presented! I do professional Photoshopping and 99% of the time I can tell. There, the lord of LEGO pictures has spoken. What more proof do you need? Perhaps Durins Bane could take pictures from other angles?
dwarf-brik Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Well, the model lookslegit, but we only have one angle. The printing, apart from the hand, also looks like official TLG work. Durins Bane, could we see some more angles of this guy?
deskp Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 The prelim pic from orc forge has a hand on the helmet
Mesonak Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Don't see why everyone is so skeptical. Minifigs and elements leak from production facilities or other sources all the time. Just look at Super Heroes, Ninjago, etc. It's not regular, but it's not uncommon. Perhaps someone got a hold of this minifig from one of those facilities and it traded hands until it reached the poster? Not really a big deal either way. The minifigure itself, be it legitimate or custom, or whatever it is, looks excellent either way. Edited April 21, 2012 by Mesonak

I'm more inclined than ever to buy U.H.A. now.

I am a passionate 22 year old LOTR and Lego fan. I purchased It last night, as soon as it is in hand, probably monday or tuesday.. Ill timestamp/ do whatever you want.

Durins Bane Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Annnd just t got number two. Got them both from ebay, I just didn't want anyone outbidding me on them so now I can say where.

If you read the Star Wars forum, you can find several instances where I've been every openingly against an idea and been proven wrong. This wouldn't be the first time, if what you say is true.

If you read the Star Wars forum, you can find several instances where I've been every openingly against an idea and been proven wrong. This wouldn't be the first time, if what you say is true. It looks pretty legit to me. I do agree with being skeptical though. If those are the real figures TLG has outdone themselves. Did the figure come with any of the new orc weapons and armor Durins Bane?
Niku Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 Seems true. There is an auction on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Lord-Of-The-Rings-Mini-figure-Legolas-/261007921403?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc548d0fb#ht_878wt_88
