Blob of Nothingness Posted May 13, 2012 Sidersdd, I was wondering, could the ring be able to fit two studs in it at the same time? If so, could you take a pic of it? That would be great for SNOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted May 13, 2012 Why haven't I've seen any reviews for Attack on Weathertop? I know the price is bad, but it does look like a really cool set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted May 13, 2012 Why haven't I've seen any reviews for Attack on Weathertop? I know the price is bad, but it does look like a really cool set. Well, sidersdd said that he would be taking pictures of the figs and adding them to his flickr folder, so if you asked, he may be willing to take a few of the set itself.

Philip Robin Posted May 13, 2012 I just finished converting my (yellowist) castle army into fleshes in preparation for these sets. I'm ready! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex the Great Posted May 13, 2012 Picked up these sets today - even got a 40% discount :) . . . Anyways, they are all amazing. The detail on the mini-figs is great. I have to say, the orcs are well-done. I am absolutely in love with them. They look 100 times better than the orcs in CASTLE. With all that said, I found the Legolas, and Aragon figs to be lacking. They should've added a cloak to the figs. Also, I wish Legolas' head piece allowed room for a quiver (much like the orcs' head piece does). Oh well. These sets truly are a must buy. How did you get a 40% discount? Also the orc hairpiece does leave room to place a quiver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristofBD Posted May 13, 2012 And I often bought stuff from online shops (Amazon, bol.com, etc.) but when you only buy small amounts, the shipping costs make it as expensive as if you would buy it in the retail shops near home. Typically Dutch online shops offer a 20 to 25% reduction. Still, shipping costs might make it costlier to buy from them if you only buy one small set. I normally buy all my sets at once and combine them with orders from a friend of mine, sharing the shipping costs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroffy123 Posted May 13, 2012 How did you get a 40% discount? Also the orc hairpiece does leave room to place a quiver? I got lucky, the store where I bought the sets had huge sales for mother's day. Yes, the orc head piece in mines of moria. I'll post pictures later tonight when I have more time.

Delta_02_Cat Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Would it make sense to order elsewhere? I have no experience with ordering stuff from other countries. What do European buyers think? I would start with 4 Gandalf arrives for horses, gray capes, dark tan parts etc., but not for 15 Euro each. Most of the time the shipping costs take away all the price difference(as I can't afford ordering for hundreds of euros), so most of the time I just buy it directly in Germany.

Lynx Posted May 13, 2012 Stop-motion build video of "Gandalf arrives" set. It's really well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haltiamieli Posted May 13, 2012 It's really well done. Except the wheels are in the end of it. Nevertheless, it is still a very well done video and I finally understood how the cart is designed. Quite clever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just2good Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) First review I've seen of the Weathertop set on YouTube! I actually want this set now! The detail looks great! The only thing holding me off from buying it is the price. Edited May 13, 2012 by just2good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Robin Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) First review I've seen of the Weathertop set on YouTube! I actually want this set now! The detail looks great! The only thing holding me off from buying it is the price. Okay, I'm feeling seriously conflicted now! I was planning to save this set for much later, but I don't know now... I'll probably just wait until it goes on sale. Edited May 13, 2012 by Philip Robin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sidersdd Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I've posted photos for the Weathertop figs on my flickr feed finally. I'll try and get to some of the one off requests next. I should be getting Orc Forge tomorrow as well. Edited May 14, 2012 by sidersdd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Masked Builder Posted May 14, 2012 They're all gorgeous minifigs. I sure cannot wait to put my hands on some. And I wish that Helms Deep wasn't so expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should be getting Orc Forge tomorrow as well. Thanks for the continued uploads! If you wouldn't mind: I'd be interested in the following two things: - can the Rohan shield be attached to a saddle of a horse? - what does Aragorn look like with a cloak (grey, brown or green)? - can you fit a quiver onto Aragorn?

Fives Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks for getting those pics up, sidersdd. The Nazgul look much better when looked at in detail. The cloaks are exactly how I imagined them. It's unfortunate that the cloaks stick out that far from the Wraith's backs, but oh well. Also, I just realized that the dark pearl grey gladius included in the set could represent the Morgul Blade that Frodo gets stabbed by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlai23 Posted May 14, 2012 I just found the Gandalf Arrives, Uruk-Hai Army, and Shelob Attack sets at Fred Meyer here in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted May 14, 2012 I just found the Gandalf Arrives, Uruk-Hai Army, and Shelob Attack sets at Fred Meyer here in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Similar. I just found those three at TRU near Atlanta, GA I love the little Gandalf Arrives set. 2 nice figs and the cart is actually a much more substantial build than iwas expecting. Good Stuff! I just hope these new "pinkies" don't clash to badly with the local villages "lemon heads", they are ever so distrustful of strangers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristofBD Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Did you find the sets on a dutch webshop already? And yes, which one? No, quite often this one is first, but they list no shipping dates yet (and it is the most expensive one). The one I usually place my orders at will only have them in August. Pff.

sidersdd Posted May 14, 2012 Received Orc Forge set from Target.com today. Will get photos of figs up later. The free poster offer from Target appears to be the Gollum one (see below). That's what I recevied today anyway. It's also possible it's a random draw. Anyone else receive one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackJonespaw Posted May 15, 2012 I was just thinking: Is there a set release date for Lego products at Toys R Us? At one Toys R Us, I was told the LOTR sets would be out on Friday, but at another, they had them, they just couldn't release them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted May 15, 2012 Wow, those Mordor orcs are better than I expected. The back printing on the head of the orcs more than makes up for the fact that it is missing a second face and another hairpiece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
