    EB Xmas Raffle 2016 - Your ideal Snow entry thread

    All my LEGO is boxed up at the moment but I managed to throw something together in LDD. When I think of snow, the first thing that pops into my mind is an igloo: Thanks so much for hosting the raffle, and good luck to everyone else!

    LEGO Hobbit 2014

    The figs do look a lot better now that I can see them close up. I'm sort of disappointed that Bilbo's legs don't have Hobbit feet, as LEGO has shown that they could've done with a few figures, such as Rocket here: Still, it's a decent set and I'll probably end up getting it when it goes on sale.

    LEGO Hobbit 2014

    Lol, I didn't know about this, but I Googled it, here's what I found on the LOTR Wiki: "River Trolls are never mentioned in J.R.R Tolkien's writings. The idea that Tolkien wrote about them arose from a misreading of the text in The Hobbit. As the dwarves enter Lake-town, the narrative mentions "occasional squabbles about river-tolls" between the men of Lake-town and the nearby elves. In other words, squabbles over whether the elves or the men could collect (or had to pay) tolls for passing down the river. Some readers mistakenly read the word tolls as trolls, thereby imagining entirely new creatures called "River-trolls" that Tolkien never intended." Perhaps they'll show up in the film as a nod to the misunderstanding. You never know with Peter Jackson!

    LEGO Hobbit 2014

    Check this out! Not sure if it should be in the Games forum, but it has potential for future sets, which is the topic of this one. I found this in a Google search this morning, it's a promo for a character pack for the LEGO Hobbit Video Game: The river troll looks a little bit odd in my opinion, I doubt that we'll ever see it in physical form. The Dwarf Soldier, however, could perhaps be one of the figs in the Bo5A set, although it could also be a design based upon the Dwarf soldiers seen at the battle of Azanulbizar. I like the look of Dwalin's beard underneath the helmet, it has the hair coming out the back and just looks all around nice in my opinion. What do you all think! Also, note the minifigs listed in the character pack: Dwarf Merchant Lady (http://middleearthnews.com/files/2013/04/photo-11.jpg), Vacation Saruman (???), Thranduil's Elk (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130803231105/lotr/images/8/8e/Thranduil_in_Elk.png), and Girion (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131230141435/lotr/images/9/9f/Girion,_Lord_of_Dale.jpg). If only we could have physical variants of those characters. . .
