Does anybody know what a rough cost of parting out and getting the parts on bricklink via UK sellers would be? UCS Falcons in the UK tend to go for between £800 and £1200...

Hi, I don't post that often, normally just read the threads, but knowing a fair amount about Tolkien, the books, and the film adaptations, I have to say that The Hobbit would make a perfect licensed fit for Lego. In fact, if it didn't out perform something like Prince of Persia or even Pirates of the Caribbean, I would be pretty surprised. Whilst I would love Lord of The Rings, its clearly a more adult aimed book, with some adult themes running through it, so I am unsure if Lego would take it up. The Hobbit on the other hand is a pure children's fantasy, and would fit perfectly with the company's outlook. It will be interesting to see if they do make a move for the licence. My dream set up would be a Hobbit line of sets, with a couple of Lord of The Rings exclusives for the AFOLs. Whilst I also like the Star Wars license, it's got to be better than a ninth Tie Fighter... rich

I have only just seen this, and I must say I think it's one of the best things I have seen. Brilliant work!

Hi, Spent a good few days building this for my daughter (and yes I enjoyed it immensely too!). Hope you like it. Actually not quite finished yet, but nearly there. Inside contains hallway, throne room, prison and treasury, so I'll try to include a few more photos when I get chance. Rich

Some great examples of how to position figures. well done!

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct forum for this MOC, but thought was worth showing. Rich

Hey thanks for the nice comments and feedback, yes, I will probably add the cordoned off posts and possibly some book shelves, although I will build these seperately and slot on, as this already took a huge base plate. In terms of the stained galss window, it is from set 6091. Could a mod move this to the relevant licensed forum? Thanks! Richard

Hi, Only just joined this site. Done a couple of MOCs. One is a standard Castle which I'll upload at some point, the second was this attempt at a Dwarven Mine, inspired by the Lord of The Rings and the Mines of Moria. Mainly built these (especially the Castle) for my daughter to play with, but err yes I like doing it. lol Plenty of room for improvement, so appreciate any feedback on building techniques etc. rich

I need to take a few more pictures. I have these of the side and back of the castle. The inside is still a work in progress and quite basic.

This is fantastic. The detail inside is superb.

Thanks guys, I agree, I think it needs a bit of rubble, I might open up a wall on the side and perhaps the back, and also add some more debris, I was thinking of adding in some structure to the top of the columns, but I might change this to the bottom. I don't currently have the pieces for circular columns, so this might be a good compromise. I had also added below my first moc that I did before this. It's a basic Castle, but I do prefer it to the big packaged sets. It's far sturdier, and my young daughter loves it!

Hi, Just joined this site & forum. Adult fan of lego, in particular the licensed stuff like Star Wars and Harry Potter. I have done a couple of MOCs, which I do partly for myself, but also my young daughter to play with. Where can I show these? I have done a standard castle, and also an attempt at a hall from the Mines of Moria from LOTR. rich
