Excellent MOC! Nice gondorian soldiers. Added to index under the "Minas Tirith" subsection.

Is that a Jack Stone fig I see? I don't see too many of those lately, especially in large complex MOCs. Well done.

That certainly didn't stop TT from putting a minifig of him in the videogame.

Pretty much a thread winner right here. Alternate wording: "You have way too much time on your hands". The same people saying that usually spend hours watching mindless TV or football or facebook.

lego: no lego boxes: yes

While I share your opinion about the Laketown set, I beg to differ about Hobbit Wave 1 only having Bag End as good set. The Goblin King battle is a great set... with minor modifications (3 hinge bricks and a few technic bricks and other basic parts to connect the components). Very easy to do. The other 4 sets (apart from Riddles) are decent. Yep. I"d rather they hadn't released ANY castle sets at all while the LOTR license is active and instead concentrate on it. That would be good (especially since we'd get a huge dwarven fortress), but the downside to that would be no huge brick-built Smaug.

Well... they ARE toys. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with adults playing with toys

I can perfectly live with missing prints. I can perfectly live with missing complicated minifig parts such as hairpiece, accessories, etc I can somewhat live with missing recent specialty parts. What I find unacceptable, however, are absent older specialty parts. This makes reproducing classic sets such as 6542, 10001, 8860, or 8868 impossible. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=73037 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2648 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2649 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2917 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3739c01 http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4266c02

I'd love a "Battle of the Pelennor Fields" set. With mumakils, Grond and a section of Mnas Tirith. All we have right now of the mighty Mordor army besieging Mnas Tirith are.... 2 orcs and a catapult. These 2 orcs must be pretty special. They get to take on Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas and the entire army of the dead on their own!

Maybe, but you never lived with this law as a kid like I did. Me and my brother were dumbfounded that the ads were on all english channels, but not french ones and never really questioned why. That didn't stop us from bugging our parents about toys, games. I think were actually starting to feel excluded from the english speaking world. So all these cool toys are only for english speaking boys and not us? Yeah call me spoiled, but I don't see how toy ads are negative towards kids. As a 9 year old, I LOVED those ads - their rarity added to their appeal. Furthermore this was pre-internet, we lived in a small town with no big stores and it was the only way to know more about toys than a small picture in a catalogue.

... and I only fully realized this relatively recently. That means essentially, toy commercials of any kind are illegal here. This must be a pretty old law because I remember NEVER seeing any toy commercial in the 80s on french speaking channels when I was a kid. This pissed me and my brother off. We would watch saturday morning cartoons on english-speaking networks sometimes just to get to watch the toy commercials! Are there any other countries/states/provinces where this is the case? (Reference:) http://www.opc.gouv....Application.pdf If you ask me, I think this law is stupid. Paranoid censorship at its best.

I will. Thanks!

I have read the manual, I can place the camera how I want, I can rotate bricks, but I can't seem to place bricks at ANY height except above the ground or over another brick. How I can adjust the x, y, AND Z axis of its position?

Thanks! Now for my next question: I have made a mod (in real life) to the 79010 Goblin King battle where the components are connected with hinges. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80391 Another person has been kind enough to build the official set in LDD so obviously I'd like to apply my mod to the LXF file. How do I rotate a huge entire section in degrees that aren't 90? 45 degrees would be fine.

My 8 year old niece, I guess. She had already played with my large town sets when Lego Friends came out, but really started getting her own sets with that line. My 11 year old nephew is getting bored with Lego, unfortunately.

Pretty cool. I like how you kept him minifig scale. Added to index. ... so?

VS Who would win in a fight?

Very nice MOC. It's very interesting to see standard "castle" MOCs made out of mostly bricks and minifigs from LOTR sets.

And I'll happily oblige. Some existing Lego MOCs Not really Bree, but inspired by the 10193

... you're comparing Orthanc with a very minor, humoristic scene from the Hobbit... really? One is the massive, imposing stronghold of an important antagonist who features prominently in 2/3 of the LOTR trilogy, features tons of interesting neat building , while the other is just 3 trolls who get turned to stone simply because they were dumb?

So! When are we gonna start seeing large scale MOCs of Bree?

I like you line of thinking. I really, really hope you're right. I also agree that a Roast Mutton set wouldn't be very Lego-esque. Besides having a high price point, what's there to build besides a few trees, fireplace and a small pile a rocks? Boring and expensive.

After looking at older promo images I just realized something http://images1.wikia...f/ThorinBIG.jpg Is it me, of Thorin kinda looked... very different in the actual movie? In the promo pic he looked way more grim, older, and has a different outfit... Movie http://images1.wikia...16/Thorin_2.jpg

Nice MOC. Added to index. But where's the banana??? http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/mn-kSREcTuY/maxresdefault.jpg
