The Sword In The Stone: Kay's Squire
Ace Krampus replied to Derfel Cadarn's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Wow! Perfect rendition of that tower. This really takes me back. Well done, sir. -
The brick police, they live inside of this thread. Haha. On the real, Thranduil might be a huge character in the upcoming films, who knows. Either way, I don't think there have been any bad figures thus far and I imagine that will continue. I just hope we don't see too many dwarves re-released at the expense of any charatcer or potential army builder. I'm alright with the inevitable Gandalf's since I can use those torsos for Haldir and his crew from their Fellowship appearance.
-
Well... They KINDA did... Haha.
-
That probably has more to do with those two sets being rather mediocre/having no dynamic potential and having characters that are largely accessible elsewhere. Besides, while we logically understand that Frodo and Bilbo are the protagonists, they aren't exactly the most inspiring. I imagine the Wizard Battle is doing much better.

I'm actually a really big fan of 5998 Vladek. I liked those Shadow Knights and it was, and is, a cheap way to get a few together.
-
I've never even remotely seen this set. I'm not entirely convinced it actually exists. Haha.
-
Yeah, really. What cool guys, bragging about something that less than no one considers impressive in the slightest. Go outside, get some sun, talk a girl, maybe, if you're feeling SUPER bold.

How well are LEGO Lord of the Rings / Hobbit selling? Speculate here

That is crazy, exact opposite story over on my end. I don't think I've seen one purchased. I haven't even caught anyone of any age looking at one. -
Review: 70500 Kai's Fire Mech
Ace Krampus replied to Lord LOLrus's topic in LEGO Action and Adventure Themes
It goes on the back, on the grey 2x2 SNOT piece. What a brilliant little set! I hadn't even given it a thought until I saw this review and immediately went and bought the next one I saw. Cheap, fun to build, fun to play with... I can't imagine how this set conceivably could have been better. Only my second Ninjago set but I may have to look into some others given how much I've enjoyed the two I randomly picked up. -

The only set I absolutely never see is Uruk-Hai Army. No surprises there. Everything else is readily available. Riddles for the Ring and Shelob Attacks have layers of dust on them. I'm genuinely surprised that Mirkwood Spiders doesn't get more play, being fairly inexpensive, but then again I haven't bought it so who's to say? -
A lot of people probably have the exact opposite thought. I agree with you, mind, I've got no use for the figure whatsoever, but I'm thinking I could probably flip it for a solid amount of dough and recoup some of the rather high MSRP.

Just snagged 8777 Vladek Encouter and 8778 Border Ambush for $11. I'm not crazy on the theme, but I like the shadow knights and the seller swapped out one of the hero minifigs, the purple knight, for some other figure that isn't so garish. I'm pretty pleased with the pickup.
-
Picked up Uruk Hai army at Target, was 30% off. Also, I finally found a couple of the Series 6 minotaurs, which should prove useful.

Never seen it. Is it use of 'bones,' or my general sage wisdom? Haha.
