LOTR & The Hobbit 2012

[Masked Builder]

Can anybody with the Orc Forge tell me if Lurtz's head has the same print as the other Uruk-Hai? The print with the white hand on it.

Also if anybody has given him a different body or anything so he doesn't have to be naked ALL the time that would be nice to know about.

Thanks everyone

You can't put armor on him with out taking the hair off. Which I think he has to have.

[Iron-Man]

Thanks guys for the input! I think I will end up having to find a torso that looks more like armor or leather because I think Masked Builder is right about needing the hair.

The standard Uruk leather armor torso would work quite well in my opinion.

Lurtz never wore armor like that, so the regular Uruk-hai body is the way to go. That's what Lurtz used.

I just hope we'd see a new hair mold if they'll ever do a set of Amon-hen.. and perhaps a new head print.

I really like the Lurtz minifig but I think it should have an alternative clothing since he isn't always naked

[Archer]

I now have the whole fellowship, and while I like them all, I am still irked by the fact that the hobbit hairpiece doesn't really work for Sam does anyone know a better hairpiece that might work?

Something tells me they're saving that for an Amon-hen set...

If the hair really bothers you that much (I myself don't really care, it works well for me) you could always try young Anakin Skywalker's hair,

from the SW line. (Episode 1)

That's great news even though i'm not from Germany, but hopefully it means Muller shops in other countries will soon have them in stock as well.

As a swede hungry for the lotr-lego I ordered The mines of Moria and Weathertop from Barnes & Noble. At frist everything seemed alright, my order were accepted and my money drawn. The next day I recieved an e- mail stating that B&N had withdrawn My order due to the facit that I live in Sweden. Didn't found any information about that during my registration and order process.

Those Barnes&Noble aren't that noble to us swedes. I hope they treat you americans in a more noble way.

They did it to some Australians too.

Someone simply reordered it and it went through!

Looking at his twitter, he has been in the US and is currently touring Canada so picked it up there.

Eh, looks kindof boring and not particularly well made.

Oh, I didn't read those tweets. *glimmer of hope fades*

I keep telling myself it's probably only a month to wait in the UK!!

I didn't want to create a new topic for this but I just posted a stop motion animation of the Orc Forge.

Comments are welcome.

It looks ok. The angle doesn't do it any favors. It looks too busy though and Weathertop looks almost hidden.

I think it is really cool, though it looks too busy with everything going around.

LOTR NZ Prices:

Gandalph Arrives : NZ 30 (24 usd)

Shelob Attacks : NZ 50 (39 usd)

Uruk - Hai Army : NZ 60 (47 usd)

Attack on Weathertop : NZ 100 (79 usd)

Mines of Moria : NZ 160 (126 usd)

the Battle of Helms Deep : NZ 250 (197 usd)

the Ork Forge : NZ 90 (71 usd)

I have a feeling that LOTR isn't going to be as popular in NZ as TLG would like it to be

Uruk-Hai Army & Attack On Weathertop are better than the Aussie price by about US$10! The rest is much the same, so don't despair.

It isn't actually, B&N are selling at or under retail price, everyone on BL is selling higher.

Hello all:

I recently bought the Uruk-hai army set, and noticed something. As far as I remember, Eomer never wore a cape, but the other riders of Rohan did. Anyone else notice this?
