Lynx Posted May 16, 2012 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. I'm pretty sure Theoden's horse in the battle of the Hornburg was brown. He rode a white horse in the battle on the Pelennor Fields. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deskp Posted May 16, 2012 I'm pretty sure Theoden's horse in the battle of the Hornburg was brown. He rode a white horse in the battle on the Pelennor Fields. Ah you're right. I'd still have liked them to make a white one for Eomer.. x] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apple Pi Posted May 16, 2012 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 with you guys. 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.. Well people, just to make you feel better, here in Brazil these sets will arrive probably only in October. =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Combee Posted May 16, 2012 I wish the horse in the Uruk-Hai set was tan (like in the preliminary pictures) as opposed to brown like in the other 2 sets. I'm sure they'll eventually produce more colors so I guess I'm just impatient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gotoAndLego Posted May 16, 2012 Can't you just wait 4 weeks? Because 40 EUR is a lot for just some cardboard and wrapping paper If you don't need the boxes you can save decent money just shipping the loose bags and instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 16, 2012 I ordered my first few LotR sets last night from S@H! Gandalf Arrives, Shelob Attacks, and Uruk-hai Army. The free Hulk minifig and poster made it an extra sweet deal. I can't wait to get these!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Robin Posted May 16, 2012 Are the sets available to buy at Target yet? I was considering the possibility of stopping by and picking up Uruk-Hai Army. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Chosen_1 Posted May 16, 2012 Nice. That's excactly what I ordered last night too. Can't wait to get me some new horses! Yep, same here. I chose those three sets to tip me over the $50 mark for the free Hulk. Could've gotten the Weathertop set I suppose, but with such a dismal price/piece I'll wait for a sale on that one.

newwavejunkie Posted May 16, 2012 Yep, same here. I chose those three sets to tip me over the $50 mark for the free Hulk. Could've gotten the Weathertop set I suppose, but with such a dismal price/piece I'll wait for a sale on that one. While I agree on the terrible price per piece on the Weathertop set, I just couldn't wait to get my hands on those Nazgul minifigs and those lovely black horses. Also I saw DoctorBrickDady's review on Youtube and was pretty impressed with what I saw (in spite of the price). Besides, I'll be picking up most of the smaller sets in the next couple of months and strongly hinting to my wife to get me Helm's Deep and Moria for my birthday or whenever TRU has them for buy 1 get one 1/2 off. That's the only time when I'm willing to pay the TRU tax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
K-Nut Posted May 16, 2012 Went to LEGO Store today, no luck. But... TRU had the whole line! Picked up Gandalf Arrives. Pretty nice set, awesome figs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faefrost Posted May 16, 2012 It looks like my TRU got another full shipment last night. They now have the full LotR line. Helms Deep looks better than I thought. Weather top looks great as well. ( if only I had the budget for all of them ) They also had all of the City Mining sets and all of the Monster Hunters except the Zombies one that I was looking for.

dwarf-brik Posted May 16, 2012 Hopefully once people start getting their hands on more Uruk Hai the average price per model on Bricklink ($7 USD) will go down a good bit. ~Dwarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philip Robin Posted May 16, 2012 Went to LEGO Store today, no luck. But... TRU had the whole line! Picked up Gandalf Arrives. Pretty nice set, awesome figs. Lucky! I stopped by both TRU AND my local LEGO Store, but had no luck in either! The TRU worker said to call tommorow, though, so I've got a chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted May 16, 2012 I just ordered Gandald Arrives, Shelob Attacks, two Uruk-hai Army sets, Weathertop, and Moria, from the LEGO shop online. I should expect to see them by Tuesday, but I paid for express shipping, so maybe Friday! Can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Omicron Posted May 16, 2012 And if youre one fore accuracy you'll switch out their higlanders swords for gladiator swords. Why would you give them a gladius? Those are shortswords. -Omi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fives Posted May 16, 2012 Why would you give them a gladius? Those are shortswords. -Omi The Rohan swords are represented much better by the gladius than the highlander sword. The Rohirrim use shorter swords becuase they are easier to use while mounted on a horse. A longer sword, like Argaorn's or Boromir's, would be too big a cumbersome to be used effectively.

Darth Lurtz Posted May 16, 2012 Just got the Orc Forge and The Mines of Moria in the mail with a poster of Gollum. I built The Orc Forge and was surprised to see that it came with four Uruk-hai swords even though the box only shows 3. The Forge itself offers a lot of playability whether you want to forge swords or give birth to Uruk-hai. Overall a very nice set with 4 exclusive figures.

Philip Robin Posted May 17, 2012 Why would you give them a gladius? Those are shortswords. -Omi If you watch the film, the Rohirrim wield swords with minimal crossguards and shorter blades, quite akin to a gladius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmangunz Posted May 17, 2012 I just recieved Gandalf Arrives, Uruk-hai Army, Mines of Moria, and Helms Deep in the mail today from Target. I can't believe how detailed and extensive Helms Deep is. And the Haldir minifigure is His armor printing is fantastic! Lego really hit it out of the park with these sets. I might just have to break down and get Weathertop as well.

Omicron Posted May 17, 2012 If you watch the film, the Rohirrim wield swords with minimal crossguards and shorter blades, quite akin to a gladius. Not that short. And then what would the Hobbits use for their dagger-size swords? :P -Omi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
