I am going to the US in about a week, and I'm thinking about picking up some LotR sets (I don't own any yet). I have about $80 to spend on LEGO, so the question is: which set(s) to get?

Thanks for the welcome! I think I'll go for the High Lord Executioner title .

I claim the land to the north-northeast of Woodward, and name it Stryenia.

I agree with commander1, the cockpit area should be changed to be more like Saesee Tiin's fighter. It would also be nice to see the ship from more angles.

I pledge my alleigance to the land of Avalonia. My name is Wylliam Trumbel and I am a wandering knight who has travelled all across the four kingdoms. During my travels, my faithful steed, Deron was put under a spell that makes him invincible, and thus requiring no armor.

I think it can be placed on top of a minifig's hand (I can't show pictures because I don't own that piece).

I think it is ... well, just as you said a Batarang. It appeared in the Batman I sets.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up! Going to get started on my entry!

Well, there are single-wave themes, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. I think Spongebob holds the record for fewest sets per year in average, but I think that's because the limited source material, and LEGO already covered most of those (based on the few episodes I saw). BTW excellent review Kiel, great as always! I voted Below Average because this set has no interest for me and the parts aren't that useful, either. EDIT: I'm a Citizen!

I keep all my sets together except for the occasional one or two I buy for parts. As for MOCs, I take them apart when I need pieces from them for another MOC (but only after photographing them).

I have one question about this contest. Do we have to do anything besides posting the picture+story? I would love to enter, but I probably won't be online on that day for more than a couple of minutes.

I want to update my 'About Me' page to include my MOCs, and I want to link to them with a thumbnail that links to the topic. I looked it up in the Tutorials index, but I couldn't find anything about it (I want it to look like the links to the reviews in the review indexes). Could somebody help me with this?

Series 8 has appeared in a sales catalog here in Hungary. Going to look it up tomorrow.

No, this part .

After I've resized the pic to thumbnail size, how can I make it a link that leads to the MOC (I use Brickshelf)? EDIT: I think I've figured it out myself. Thanks for the help though!

The only way I can see that set is a $130 summer wave set. Maybe if they do it it will be like the Helm's Deep and Uruk-hai Army sets, with the arena coming with two beasts, and a smaller add-on set with the third.

The Weequay is not an official minifig. It has the head of Shahan Alama, the hair of Aurra Sing and the torso and hips of an Uruk-hai.

Nice solution! I think it is a bit bulkier than it should be, but I don't see how it could be made smaller. As I don't own neither the 1x4 bar and the angled lightsaber hilt in gold, itis out of the question for me, but it can be useful for those who own those parts.

I think it would be the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon.

Thanks for the suggestions! I probably won't get the Elrond figure, so that staff is out of the question until the staff is released in another set, so I guess I'll have to use the version with the blue piece on the top. It is still far from perfect, the biggest problem being it has two forks instead of one, but it's better than the current one.

On the Superheroes boxes here the set name is written on the side in 6 languages, English, German, French, Spanish, Portugese and Hungarian, but the English name is written on the front.

Thanks for the pictures! Is the gold part the ring from LotR?

Excellent design! The second version is much more accurate than the first one. I'm interested in what piece is in the center of the middle section, the one the tooth pieces are attached to.

I chose this name because when I was registering, there was a tooth piece by my computer.

I'm here too! Sziasztok!
