The_Chosen_1 Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I don't think they ever have been a sticker. Why does it matter? Um....because stickers suck.

Lynx Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Mines of Moria fig photos uploaded, along with a few one-off requests. Thanks. I'm not sure about Legolas' alternative facial expression. If it is meant to resemble an angry look, I think it fails. If it's depicting the elf cringing, I don't see how it relates to the movie. Anyway, still a great figure. I wonder if the cape would fit between his back and hair. The Rohan soldier with printed legs and cape does not look as good as I expected. I think it might be too much brown and green. I might try giving him red arms (I think that's the colour some Rohirrim in the movie had) to give some more contrast.
wesker Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Mines of Moria fig photos uploaded, along with a few one-off requests. Thanks for the pics. I was wondering do you own the maiden hairpiece or the long hairpiece from the collectible minifigure line? I'm curious as to how both would look on Eomer and Gandalf.
Cutty Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Mines of Moria fig photos uploaded, along with a few one-off requests. Damn! I'd hoped to be able to let these pass, but the figures alone are worth the expenses. Thanks Sidersdd for having me hooked on those ;-) Be well! Cutty p.s. and totally OT: I really dig your wicked miniature Go board and left a comment on your Flickr! Awsome stuff you've got there!
horizon Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (youtube reviews irritate me, those hands get the itches on me. Weird). The Moria set looks very playable. A full fellowship would be cool to have.

Flea Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 didja all see the euro prices? it's too expensive if you ask me... what do you think?
just2good Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Doughnut know if this has been posted yet, but here's a review of the Mines of Moria by the 'Brickqueen'! Edited May 11, 2012 by just2good
Cammo Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 didja all see the euro prices? it's too expensive if you ask me... what do you think? The only overpriced set IMO is the Weathertop. But that set is overpriced in all regions if you ask me. I think they are pretty similar to the prices of the other licensed stuff such as PotC and The Superheroes line. But because of all the new molds, I don't think we can actually complain. The only sets I'm picking up are 'Mines of Moria', 'Shelob Attacks' & 'Gandalf Arrives'. = 123 EUR That's not even the price of the most expensive set in this wave (After that I will wait for a price drop to pick up 'Weathertop' to complete the Fellowship.)
Kayne Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 I was just on Target.com and most of the sets are now instock to ship online at the suggested prices that are much more reasonable than Toys R Us! Helm's Deep and The Orc Forge are listed as being released on Wed. May 16 now.
Wardancer Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 didja all see the euro prices? it's too expensive if you ask me... what do you think? Where? Which prices do you mean?
LRDark Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 Doughnut know if this has been posted yet, but here's a review of the Mines of Moria by the 'Brickqueen'! I searched the topic and couldn't find any post asking this, but is Boromir's sword new mold? I think it's most visible around the 1:00 mark. It looks like a cross between the classic sword and the new longsword, but maybe it's just me. It doesn't look like that in any other place that I can recall, just this review.

Not sure, I just noticed When you pointed it out.
Durins Bane Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) It doesn't look LEGO. Not sure, I just noticed When you pointed it out. HOLY CRAP that is a new sword!!! A new review (same guy as the last two): Mines of Moria And one thing that really bothers me is that this idiot has never seen a classic skeleton...yet he reviews sets. It is not like they disappeared.. Edited May 11, 2012 by Durins Bane
Graysmith Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) And one thing that really bothers me is that this idiot has never seen a classic skeleton...yet he reviews sets. It is not like they disappeared.. If you think this guy (who easily is the best YouTube reviewer) is an "idiot" I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the other reviewers on there. Yeah, it's a bit odd that he hadn't seen that skeleton before, but so what? Maybe he just hasn't? Just because he reviews sets doesn't mean he has to be a certified LEGO guru who can recognize every single part and name every set that came out in 1977. Give the guy a break.

And one thing that really bothers me is that this idiot has never seen a classic skeleton...yet he reviews sets. It is not like they disappeared.. I doubt that's a new sword. Instead, I'm pretty sure that it's a production error. I mean, why have pointy swords everywhere only to give Boromir this rounded sword? You're not going to kill many orcs with a blunt sword! Also, how does not having seen a classic LEGO skeleton make someone an idiot? Are people who haven't seen them not allowed to make reviews..? ~ General Magma Edited May 11, 2012 by General Magma

Granted, I've only seen reviews by "Brick Show", "Brick Queen" and the guy in question. But out of those three, he ("DoctorBrikDaddy") has the best reviews - by far! Figures are neatly depicted and always in focus, the time-lapse building of the sets is a nice feature, and he shows every single play feature there is to a set. Speaking of which, his fourth review is up: Uruk-hai army

I mean, why have pointy swords everywhere only to give Boromir this rounded sword? You're not going to kill many orcs with a blunt sword! This is what I was thinking, especially after seeing the other review in which Boromir seems to have the standard longsword. She's a lucky gal...

It is not like they disappeared.. That's harsh. I like his reviews. Informative, detailed, and well-edited and composed. Can't go wrong with all of that.
Omicron Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) And one thing that really bothers me is that this idiot has never seen a classic skeleton...yet he reviews sets. It is not like they disappeared.. They may not have disappeared, but it has been awhile since they been used since they aren't used as much. Considering the advent of new skeleton and skull designs over the years, it is easy to make a mistake as such. -Omi Edited May 11, 2012 by Omicron
Lynx Posted May 11, 2012 Posted May 11, 2012 For the Aussies: From Twitter (LEGO Group): We expect the sets (Lord of the Rings) to hit stores mid to late June.
