Lynx Posted June 12, 2012 The helmet of darkness is killing meeeeee. God I wish they would make it. There are moria goblins in the hobbit right? There certainly are! They even have a proper chieftain (Azog, if I remember correctly). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fives Posted June 12, 2012 The helmet of darkness is killing meeeeee. God I wish they would make it. There are moria goblins in the hobbit right? http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6381477/lego-the-lord-of-the-rings-e3-2012-stage-demo There certainly are! They even have a proper chieftain (Azog, if I remember correctly). Sorry to come in here and burst the bubble of excitement, but the Moria goblins don't necessarily have any relation to the Goblin Town goblins. I remember that the design for the Moria orcs' helmets was to reflect the shape of the Balrog, and how the orcs had, over the years, come to fear and worship the Balrog as a sort of god. This was completely made up by Peter Jackson, but still an interesting idea. That being said, the goblin from Goblin Town could very well look similar physically, but have different armour. As much as I would love to see the Moria helmets, I would be more excited by more orcs with different types of armour. Also, Bolg is the one who leads the orcs at the Battle of Five Armies. Azog was his father. I believe he was slain by Dain II at the Battle of Azanulbizar, after he killed Thror, Thorin's grandfather. I think they have cast someone as Thror and Azog for the film, so we will most likely see a flashback sequence about it. Maybe a set could be based off that?

urukhai1991 Posted June 13, 2012 I know we will not be getting new LOTR sets for quite a while, but does anyone know or think we could get battle-packs before the Hobbit release, or at least before the second wave of LOTR's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slobey Posted June 13, 2012 Sets have arrived at Toys R us here in Perth (and selling out quick). Managed to pick up the moria and Urakai attack sets for the same price as listed on S@H. I'd say if Perth has them most of oz would have them by now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Magma Posted June 13, 2012 I know we will not be getting new LOTR sets for quite a while, but does anyone know or think we could get battle-packs before the Hobbit release, or at least before the second wave of LOTR's? We don't know for certain if December won't hold any more LOTR sets for us... We do know, though, that an article said that "the next wave of LEGO LOTR will include sets from The Hobbit". Read carefully - it says "will include sets from The Hobbit", which might indicate that LOTR sets are to be released alongside that. Still some time to go until that's confirmed, though. ~ General Magma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clone OPatra Posted June 13, 2012 We don't know for certain if December won't hold any more LOTR sets for us... At least in the US, that's when they'll be released. First page of the Summer 2012 Catalog: LEGO The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - 'Your Journey Begins December 1st 2012.' If that's not confirmation of Hobbit sets being released in the US on December 1st, I don't know what is. We might see some more trilogy sets then too, who knows.

I think, the reason "why we do not see usually orc helmets at the current/upcoming LotR wave" is that LEGO needs some extra specials for a upcoming Orc set? Maybe we will find those orc helmets here, in a kind Battle Pack . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think, the reason "why we do not see usually orc helmets at the current/upcoming LotR wave" is that LEGO needs some extra specials for a upcoming Orc set? Maybe we will find those orc helmets here, in a kind Battle Pack . I think those helmets are just for the videogame along with their armor. Also they are ontop of the hair with ears in the game. Also keep in mind these helmets was only used by the orcs in Moria, Only featured in the first movie. .. what upcoming orc set?

CMP Posted June 14, 2012 Moria is a little disjointed, but I really love the playability factor. Modded it all to fit on a 32x32 baseplate and filled it with some Uruks to battle my Fellowship. Really nice display piece if you can pose everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
