Mr. Cube

They do. e.g. 79009.

Are those updated FO stormtroopers really from the FO speeder BP? Because this could be easily done with brasso aplicated on FO Executioner helmet. It would be nice to see some recent unboxing video as a proof.

"New FO Stormtroopers in the speeder battlepack" - what battlepack do you mean?

The torso is also slightly different.

...and I saw this and that Weathertop on Aukro.cz :) Was it created by you or you just bought it?

That shield is great piece. There is my custom Mordor Orc.

JakeChambers: My last hope were the Dimensions sets. Instead of updated Gimli and Legolas they could bring us some of the most desired characters - Sauron, Éowyn and generic Gondor Soldier.

I don´t think that there will be some return of the LotR/Hobbit theme. But we can create some MOCs with the existing pieces. And some new pieces are very interesting, like this new shield from LEGO Elves:

Maybe because of this:

And this is perfect for Morannon Orcs:

It was popular, but IMHO mainly among minifig collectors/LotR-Hobbit fans and AFOLS, not kids. And many AFOLS were dissapointed with the 2nd Lotr wave.It existed just for a couple of years because of the Hobbit trilogy. And about high prices - the prices of the retired products rise up... ...I´m still missing Blue Coat Bilbo from Blu-Ray...59€

Well, even the first pirates had smiley faced heads (with some additional prints - beard, moustache...) and I think that everybody will agree that they were "bad guys". For me, the Dragon Masters are separated "rebel" sub-faction of Black Knights.

Stupid finale. Orthanc itself is a great set, but Gondor faction, Balrog and Witch-king + Fellbeast are still missing.

Hello! Thank you for the comments! There are some photos of the final MOC:
