Fives Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 May be a bit soon, but I'm already on the hunt for the new Azog fig from SDCC. I think I'm likely not the only one who will be willing to dish out the cash for this fig, so any news of it pooping up for sale should be put here. Just can't wait to get this fig!
Fives Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 He likely won't show up at least for a few days, if not more. If I could, I'd love to find him somewhere in Canada, as that's where I live.
TheDarkness Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 You don't think they will feature him in any future sets? I struggle to believe they went to the trouble and expense of creating that head mould for a CC only release. It does look fantastic though!

I really hope you are right about that and I hope the price will be right as well.

I agree I think it will be much the same as last years Bilbo "exclusive" There's no way Lego would not have a main character like this in a widely available set. Mind you if you really want it you can mortgage the house http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SDCC-2013-ULTRA-RARE-Sealed-LEGO-Minifigure-HOBBIT-in-hand-AZOG-Exclusive-/321168263589?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4ac71ec9a5
Fives Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah, I've already seen that. Hopefully some other people start selling theirs and for more reasonable prices. I'm only likely willing to pay about $100 at most for the fig.

The difference with those and other exclusives though, it is only the print and colours that are different, not the elements. Azog required a completely new head mould and it would have cost a fortune for something to just be handing out for free. Only my opinion though and i could be wrong.
