Shroffy123 Posted May 15, 2012 Sorry, I think this has been asked and answered already, but my mind is blank. I've gotten all of the sets thus far, except for the Orc Forge. The Orc Forge set is a Target exclusive? Am I remembering correctly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zilcho Posted May 15, 2012 I saw Huw onb Brickset reviewing a LotR set, are they available in Britain? If so, where? You said the Orc Forge is a Target exclusive, what does that mean in countries without Target? Is it just a Lego exclusive? Thanks! Hopefully I'll be building some of these soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Magma Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Not available in The Netherlands... Oh well, they're worth waiting for... let's hope they'll be here soon too, although one of my local stores responded with the release date of the LOTR for us Dutch people here to (probably) be around July.. ~ General Magma.

Bilbo Baggins Posted May 15, 2012 LEGO Shop (online) is giving away Frodo posters when you buy any of the LOTR sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm be with you. Here in Germany, we have also still to wait. I hope LEGO releases the LotR sets within the following two months. At Amazon is the release date focused to the 23-June-2012. I let me surprise. But what me make a bit confuse is, why are the LotR sets in the US so early available? ...and here (far far away) in Europe or there (in Asia or Australia) not.

Lynx Posted May 15, 2012 A good review of Shelob Attacks by a Lord of the Rings fan site. The reviewer hadn't bought LEGO products in 10 years. http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/05/14/56112-product-review-shelob-attacks-lego-set/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
punkkid364 Posted May 15, 2012 I paid the TRU markup to build the Mines of Moria set on my day off, only to log in and see I could have gone to the TLG store at the mall and got it without the markup. I'd take it back for a refund if I hadn't already built it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 15, 2012 Sucks to learn the hard way not to pay the TRU tax... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philip Robin Posted May 15, 2012 buy it from lego, and then return it to TRU with your receipt... He already built it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRDark Posted May 15, 2012 He already built it. But he can buy one from Lego and return that one to TRU with reciept. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graysmith Posted May 15, 2012 He already built it. I think prozac meant that he should buy another Moria set from the LEGO store and then take that unopened box to TRU to get his money back. I'm be with you. Here in Germany, we have also still to wait. I hope LEGO releases the LotR sets within the following two months. At Amazon is the release date focused to the 23-June-2012.

No sign of any LOTR (or Monster Fighters) sets in Sweden. No idea when they'll be released here either, but hopefully by the end of June at least.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blaze Posted May 15, 2012 Does anyone know what the shipping fares would be if I ask someone in the us to buy a couple of lotr sets for me and then send them to me in Holland? Does anyone perhaps know the answer? I'm really curious to see if it is not Too expensive to let someone buy some sets and then send them to Holland. I did once bought some shoes from the us which had shipping costs of 40/50 dollars, which would work for me, but I dont know if that was because it was a company that they had lower shipping fares?

Can't you just wait 4 weeks? Because 40 EUR is a lot for just some cardboard and wrapping paper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes the exclusive sets are exclusive to another locally present retailer in such countries. For example here in Hungary 4438 Robbers' Hideout is exclusive to a local toy store chain. On the other hand some other sets that are exclusive on the US market to a given retailer might be widely available in another country. For example I have seen 3648 Police Chase at several supermarket chains here despite the box saying it's limited edition / exclusive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deskp Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Love the scrummy thin hair printing on the mordor orcs back head. Btw: Both Eomers and Theodens horses should be white/light grey.. And if youre one fore accuracy you'll switch out their higlanders swords for gladiator swords. Edited May 16, 2012 by deskp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
