I actually don't understand while he would not do also a movie based on the Children of Dune, it is excellent too. It was included in the mini-series which were not bad considering their budget.
-
I bought it on day 1 but have not built it yet. I will wait for my two sons to be old enough so we can do it together. For now I just keep smiling looking at the box and thinking it is the most beautifu set Lego has ever made :-)
-
This year has been tough on my bank account! I bought: Vincent Van Gogh The Starry Night 21333, Avatar Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls 75574, Hokusai The Great Wave 31208, Executor Super Star Destroyer 75356, Back to the Future Time Machine 10300, Tales of the Space Age 21340, LOTR Rivendell 10316, Hogwarts Castle and Grounds 76419, Tranquil Garden 10315, Dunes Atreides Royal Ornithopter 10327 (and as I bought most of these on the Lego Shop, I got many GWP offered in addition).

If they continue after Barad Dur, I would love to see in priority: 1. Minas Tirith 2. Edoras Golden Hall 3. Khazad Dum and Balrog 4. Lothlorien
-
This may be the best Lego year in my life! First Rivendell, then the Dune set (my second favorite book/movie saga after LOTR) which I was not expecting at all, then the confirmation of Barad-Dur next year... it could not get any better (well, except for a Minas Tirith set in 2025) :-)
-
Only in USA then. It is still available for pre-order on the European Lego sites.

Nice one! I guess we could just paint the white of his eyes in blue, but they would look different than Chani's eyes for example...

Altair1 started following Dune 2023 - Rumors & Discussion

When I thought Lego could not do any better this year than LOTR Rivendell, here comes the announcement of an amazing set based on my favorite sci-fi saga of all times: Dune !!! I was not aware of the rumors this time so this is a huge surprise, I am so happy :-) Like many I would have preferred to get Stilgar rather than Liet Kynes, but this is a detail that can easily be corrected (any suggestions for a Stilgar head btw?). It goes without saying that I am pre-ordering in the very coming days (I may just hold off until 1 November to get the nice Galileo miniset as a bonus). PS: The Dune set being technically released in 2024, it has a chance to compete for the best set award next year (while Rivendell will hopefully win in 2023!).
-
I would welcome any new LOTR set, whether it is miniscale or microscale... anything but Brickheadz of course (I own every single LOTR set except these ugly things)
-
Amongst the 200+ sets that I own, here is my top 5: 1. Rivendell 2. Millenium Falcon 75192 3. Tower of Orthanc 4. Temple of Airjitzu 70751 5. Helm's Deep and Bag End ex-aequo (can't choose between these two!)
-
Haha OK I understand better now :-)
-
I don't really see the point of displaying the pirate ship ambush set by Rivendell, there is no link whatsoever between these two scenes... Besides, the pirate ship is the only LOTR set I did not buy, because I do not find it iconic at all (we only see it for a few seconds in the movie). But I did buy the King and Soldiers of the Dead minifigs on BL as they are great and I needed them for my Path of the Dead MOC :-)
-
Just ordered Rivendell on the online shop!!!! With the two small GWPs (40630 and 40583). So happy :-)
-
Great idea! We have them for several Lego themes, why not LOTR!
-
If for the first one you mean Eowyn, I support your proposal ;-)
