    I'm still sitting on the fence for this set though.  A big thing for me was how the interior was going to look, unfortunately now the only thing I can say is 'what interior'.  :hmpf_bad:

    Just because there are no pics of an interior on the box, it doesn't have to mean there is none. Same as it didn't mean there are no sharks, just because there were no pics with them until now...

    There still hasn't been a "real" press release for it yet, like they usually do it with a designer video and lots of detail pictures. Something is strange with this set announcement. First we just get low-res pictures of it with a little description and no real press release, and then it's up on S@H with just the same pictures in high-res, but still no box pictures and whatsoever. Leaves hope they are still holding back some details for a real press release...

    Honestly, i don't get people's hate on this set. Especally some complaining about there being no hull makes me laugh. That's the way it is supposed to be! Have you even seen any trailer for the movie yet? If so, nobody would expect a"full" ship. For example look at the scenes where it appears in this trailer, it is meant to be a sceletal WRECK of a ship, so the set is spot-on. If they'd change it to an actual ship, it would have nothing to to with the movie anymore, which would make no sense at all...

    Now we are getting picky.......lucky I was excellent at geography at high school.

    Australia has the largest claim in Antarctica.......

    Now, let's see....ah, city is modern world.....yes, but maybe if Lego intends of extending the city limits to a few thousand Km's.....maybe calling it Modern World would be better.

    A city is a habitat to live, work and play, so is a town or village.....a research base is not really such a thing......true you work there, you sleep there, you can have snow ball fights there. On the other hand, can you go to the shops ? no, can you go to hospital ? no, can you take a train somewhere ? no......only way in and out.....helicopter or ice breaker.....real city transportation ? :tongue:

    I have no problem with the subtheme as such, but calling it a city subtheme is just off.......what's next...... deep sea diving like from the 1990's ? :blush: (though that would be more plausible than an Arctic theme)

    Anyway, back on-topic.....I wonder if the ice breaker will have the standard ship haul or not ?

    You just forgot that Antarctica is not the same as the Arctic...the first is ocated on the south pole while the second is on the north pole.

    Besides that i think it doesn't really matter of which theme this is a subtheme. I mean it's not like there's "City" printed on each part of it. if it bugs you so much you can always overwrite the city logo on the box and instructiuon. If it really is that important.

    I think what makes orthanc unique i, that it somehow stands for all the evil of LOTR. I mean, look at it, it just SCREAMS "evil". It is a building that everybody instantly recognizes, which makes it popular. And i think there still is a chance for minas tirith, we don't know how many more waves there will be, surely there would be big potential for more. If it's gonna go on like star wars, i think there's a possibility for quite a few more exclusive, big sets.
