Future LotR and Hobbit sets

[Falconer]

Problem is, there are only 1 or 2 big "castle" sets per wave.

Let’s shoot for 2!

[deskp]

I want new minifigures, cause you can't make them yourself (properly) buildings you can build of lego you already own.

Sets without unique minifigures are a waste.

And as people have said, most waves of lego feature sets cheap-ish to more expensive. A set in the price range that galdalf arrives is in would be good for a last alliance vs souron set or any minifigure heavy set. ther isnt potential for any great buildings at this price

Elrond, Isildur and Sauron with some pice of rock or soemthing,(maybe another catapult to throw people away when sauron swings hes mace x])

Either way, that picture of Elrond from the game certainly gets my hopes up!

No offense but your idea of a Last Alliance set sounds pretty terrible. Ask yourself this - what are we BUILDING here? What is the SET supposed to represent? Just a "rock or something" sounds incredibly boring. All this set has going for it is 3 unique minifigures - Elrond, Sauron and Isildur. Wouldn't you be better off including them in Mount Doom or the Tower of Baradur and saving the cheaper sets for battlepacks?

[General Magma]

Thanks to the guy above, a new idea for 'The Last Alliance' popped into my head.

Wanted to fit Sauron's tower, Barad-dûr, somewhere - but I wasn't really sure where it would fit.

So, we could have something like this (one main set and an additional battlepack):

The Last Alliance

Minifigs: Elrond (armored), Isildur, 2 Noldor elves, 1 Gondorian soldier (2nd age), Sauron and 2 orc soldiers.

Components and scenery: The tower of Barad-dûr itself, where there are 2 possible "roof" options for the top: one with the Eye of Sauron,

and the other without it from before his defeat. Other than that, it could come with some kind of catapult to launch multiple soldiers, to re-enact Sauron's attack scenes with his mace.

The set could do without it, though, but might work here.

Size: Large.

Extra information:

Could be re-named to 'Tower of Barad-dûr' or, perhaps better yet, 'The Last Alliance at Barad-dûr'.

Something along those lines should do...

The Battle of Gorgoroth

Minifigs: 1 Noldor elf, 1 Gondorian soldier (2nd age) and 2 orc soldiers.

Components and scenery: Mini catapult, some rock parts and some ruins.

Size: Small.

Extra information:

This is the size of a regular SW battlepack with 4 figures and some small components - comparable to 'Gandalf Arrives', with 2 additional figures.

There could be something else in place of the rock parts/ruins (components and scenery), but there wasn't much I could think of for this.

(This one is part of the sets made for 'The Last Alliance')

Fully agree here.

If all I cared about was collectible figures, I wouldn't be into Lego.

[deskp]

The smallest sets in a wave rarely isn't much to build anyways so I'd rather it be some great minifigures, Battle packs doesen't do it for me unless they have uniqe minifigures.

[Darth Caedus]

Not directed at anyone in particular, just musing. In fact, I originally wrote this for the “LOTR 2012” thread, but decided it goes here:

Hopefully LEGO Middle-earth is so long-lived that everyone can eventually get what they want. But IMO it’s nuts at this stage to be hoping for Last Alliance sets. Why are people so focused on “armies” and “scenes”? To me, LEGO Castle was always about building castles (and forestmen hideouts, of course)! Don’t you want to build Minas Tirith, Isengard, Rivendell, Hobbiton Hill, Lorien, Beorn’s Hall, Meduseld, Lake-town, Cirith Ungol, the Argonath, The Prancing Pony, and a much-expanded Moria? So far the Hornburg is really the only worthwhile set, IMO. Let’s dare to dream big! Please?

I guess there are two fundamentally different types of AFOLs, and I'm firmly in the minifigure camp. Licensed sets are the best sets, and sets are just vehicles to get more minifigures. Scenery exists to give minifigures somewhere to look cool. Lego is not going to be able to do justice to the massive LOTR castles like Minas Tirith - their Helm's Deep is a good build but still flawed. So I'm definitely most interested in scenes that give us new armor, weapons and characters - starting with the Last Alliance.

I agree I want to see actual sets in this line. Some of the suggestions like "The Last Alliance" or "Arwen's Chase" sound like a waste to me. What are we BUILDING here? What is the SET supposed to be of? All I see is minifigure packs.

Yes, please, that's exactly what we need - look at Lego's lame attempt at Weathertop, the only redeeming quality there is the Nazgul and Merry. And it's a terrible 60 dollar pricepoint. It's all about the price-to-minifigure ratio, and we're much better off with a 20 or 30 dollar Nazgul pack than a cheap, stunted tower that opens to reveal a ...weapon rack? Sigh.

Since the fall will be ~6 Hobbit sets, I hope Summer 2013 will be LOTR once again and contain any of the following:

Mumakil Battle Pack

LEGO Easterlings and Haradrim would be dope. But to make a Black Gate set for the Easterlings would be either a waste of a castle-sized set, or some miniaturized door that didn't do it justice. So I suggest a pack that combines the two factions. Put it at a 30 or 40 dollar pricepoint, like the Helm's Wall or Orc Forge armybuilders of Wave 1.

Minifigures: 2x Easterling, 2x Haradrim, 1x Haradrim Champion

Set: Mumakil - Lego already has an elephant from the old Johnny Thunder line. However, this is really too small to represent the Mumakil, so a new, semi-molded, semi-brickbuilt model would be needed.

Price: $30-$40

Last Alliance Battle Pack

Minifigures: Elrond + some assortment of Isildur, Elendil, Gil-galad, or generic Noldor or Numenorean warriors.

Set: Sauron (brickbuilt), rocks.

Price: $20

Minas Tirith Showdown (From the Return of the King Extended Edition, if anyone still hasn't seen it)

A large, brickbuilt Fellbeast is a great concept, since you can get nine of them to complete your Nazgul force. Including Shadowfax would be a blessing for cavalrybuilders, as it's a 2.0 horse in white. Pippin's Citadel armor would even contribute to the potential for multiple purchases.

Minifigures: Gandalf the White, Pippin (Guard of the Citadel), The Witch-king (Armored)

Set: Shadowfax, Fellbeast (brickbuilt), random archway or Minas Tirith house

Price: $20-$50, depending on how huge and spectacular they make the Fellbeast.

The Black Gate

Now, this fortress does figure in two crucial encounters in the films, so if they were to make it, it should hit the Weathertop or Moria slot pricepoint. They'd have to scale it down a bit, but as long as it's several times the height of a minifigure, it could work. I just wouldn't want it with Easterlings - keep them in a more army-buildable set - but to recreate one of the best scenes from the Extended Edition.

Minifigures: Aragorn (armored), The Mouth of Sauron, Gondorian Bannerman, Mordor Orc Sentinel

Set: Brego, Mouth of Sauron's Steed, Gondorian Horse, The Black Gate

Pricepoint: $60-$80 (on the high side if they chose to either include the troll's with their door-opener mechanisms, or the armored Olog-hai that Aragorn faces in the final battle.

The Siege of Minas Tirith

It would be an admirable effort if Lego went to the trouble of giving us a Minas Tirith 1st Circle wall section - but given that it curves, and would look dumb without the whole city behind it, I think it's better to abandon that dream. What we do know is that Lego loves making siege towers, since it's a simple, dynamic 'vehicle'. So we might as well exploit their penchant and get some great army building minifigres.

Minifigures: Mordor Orc, Gothmog, Troll Driver, Gondorian Soldier, Guard of the Citadel

Set: Orc Siege Tower, White City tower/parapet

Pricepoint: $30-$40

Isengard Throne Room

Lego flubbed up the 13 dollar pricepoint in Wave 1, giving us a 2.0 Horse and little else - Gandalf the Grey is cool but Frodo without sword or ring is quite underwhelming. They can rectify that in Wave 3. One gaping hole in Wave 1 was a lack of a Saruman minifigure, probably because they'll need a novel hair/beard combo to accommodate his long hair and beard. We could get an Isengard interior set with, at the very least, some cool spiky black pieces.

Minifigures: Saruman, Grima, "Mordor" Orc (they're Isengard orcs to me, but Lego insists on calling them Mordor Orcs)

Set: Throne, Palatir w/ stand, door if possible.

Pricepoint: $13

As for the large 130 castle set, that's where I won't speculate as hard, because it's important for that slot to actually have a cool castle to sate the hardcore castle fans. Minas Tirith as a whole city is unworkable, but what about Denethor's citadel + the courtyard of the White Tree? They could also fully realize at least a good portion of Cirith Ungol at this pricepoint.

Well, Lego certainly doesn't see it this way, and their license agreement is VERY strict on what it allows them to do: it's a strictly CONSTRUCTION TOYS based license.

I think that's only for Star Wars. With POTC, LEGO was able to produce a battle pack, although it was a sad a pitiful thing. If LEGO wanted to maximize their profits in the army building area of LOTR, battle packs similar to the old Castle or Kingdoms ones, with about five guys and a bunch of weapons, would be the best route to go. That way fans can stockpile soldiers from their favourite factions of Middle-Earth without spending too much money.

[Zzz]

There are some who love their minifigs, and some who love their buildings. Most fall into a mix between them I assume and love both great buildings, and bringing these alive with great minifigs - and that is me for example. I do love my SW ships, swooshing, displaying, building, improving (not necessarily in this order) but I also love to have a bunch of minifigs around them to make them feel alive.

Then, probably it depends a bit on the theme, where I (and others) lay the focus on, what I want from a theme. And in my book, a space ship is already great. People do buy these just to swoosh and display. Castles are rather.. dull (for the mainstream, no offense!) without any knights around it. I would love the LotR sets much more, if TLC wouldn't be so shy with their minifigs. I can only hope they are holding back some to have this line out for a couple of years, as I would desperately need more minifigs in the sets, battle packs, and cheaper prices to get really hooked on this theme.

This is so right - it's all about price, price, price. Castles are great, but we need more minifigures in cheaper sets. The Helm's Wall set is the priciest a battle pack can be while still being passable - useful for expansion and half a dozen quality minifigures, all armybuilders - but more 4 minifigure packs at the $13 price point is the ideal. That way, the castle lovers can still have large, pricey, fancy models and the minifigure zealots can build to their heart's content - and the centrists are happy too.

Star Wars skirted the collectible clause by putting in throwaway vehicles into the battle packs, no reason it can't work for Lord of the Rings - instead of vehicles have small bits of terrain. We really should have had an Amon Hen battle pack with that little throne place and assorted Uruk-hai - terrain that is specifically Lord of the Rings while still being minifigure-heavy. However, Uruk-hai have been released in plenty already, what with the upcoming polybag, the Orc Forge, the Helm's Wall and Helm's Deep itself. So if we want to keep the 60, 80 and 130 dollar slots free for the Castle lovers, what kind of $12.99 battle packs would work? Some brainstorming, superior ones marked *.

Personally, I'm a minifigure collector, especially in Star Wars. When I saw the LotR sets/figures, I just had to get them. Incredibly detailed, more so than any other past figures, and from on of my favorite movies, how could I resist? Thus I branched into another theme, and got them all.

With the LotR theme, I definitely believe LEGO is attempting to reap in people like me (lover of figures) with incredibly detailed figures, while also appealing to the younger generations and making sets (lame in my opinion) with play-ability. However, even though I am a minifigure collector, I do appreciate good building (collector of UCS Star Wars sets), and definitely love building an iconic set and displaying it.

Thus, with the LotR theme, LEGO is on a fine balance. It's not their normal type of theme... it has some blood and gore... some parents may not be to keen on it, etc.. yet they still have to make money with it (obviously) and retain this balance of appealing to two different generations. How do they do that? With iconic figures, and play-able sets. I'm definitely hoping for some UCS Minas Tirith, but will we see it? Probably not. Most likely we'll see a helm's deep rendition of Minas Tirith, making it play-able, but also coming with some incredible figures.

So in this whole topic, you'll find both people. The one's that want the figures and battlepacks, and the ones that want the iconic scenes. There's going to be dis-agreement, and a whole lot of it.

I guess some of the problem with having buildings and castles is, aside from a few random new parts, most people can build them with what they have in their collection- ergo the buildings are more redundant. What people don't have, however, is the minifigures that populate the theme. These are usually new prints and sometimes moulds, hence their appeal.

Well I can only speak for me, but as I was building the larger sets, especially helm's deep, I was quite grateful how many of those numerous gray & dark gray hinges, slopes & corners were added to my collection which lacked them, despite numbering ~250 sets (mostly technic and city)

[djmangunz]

After pouring over the Simlarion last night, I came across the part where the White Council invades Dol Guldur to drive out the Necromancer. Knowing how Peter Jackson expanded on some of Tolken's writings for the LOTR movies and how he has expressed his plans to do the same with the Hobbit movies, I would guess that we could see an expanded version of the assault on the fortress in Mirkwood in the first Hobbit film.

That being said, and connecting this theory with the picture we have of Elrond in minifigure form plus the tweet from Lego stating that they would include female figures in this upcoming line leads me to speculate that we could get some sort of set called;

The battle of Dol Guldur (or something like that) including a tower and a few members of the White Council. Perhaps Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey and Radagast the Brown, Lady Galadriel of Lothlórien, and Master Elrond of Rivendell. And the Necromancer. And this could be the flagship set of the Hobbit line at about $80. Six minifigures for $80 isn't unreasonable by Lego's standards.

Who knows? Anyway that is my theory piecing together the few clues that we have about the Hobbit sets. And stretching my imagination with some of the other tidbits we have gathered.

Yeah, I haven’t been following the movie rumors too closely (probably not going to watch them, either), but I am fairly certain the attack on Dol Guldur will be part of the climax of the first movie.

I do hope all those figures you mention will be in the next wave, but if that happens, I doubt they will be all together in the same set. I say that just based on what we have seen in the first wave, where they spaced out characters between larger and smaller sets. But also, Elrond was not present at Dol Guldur, according to The Hobbit (of course, that could change in the movies). And it would just be TOO awesome to be able to collect all three wizards in a single set!

I’ll bet Gandalf in this wave will have a blue hat. At least, I hope so! I hope the other two wizards get pointy hats (in the film and therefore in the sets), too!

[djmangunz]

I am very sorry, I know that one of our members reported the information which was posted on Lego's Facebook page and it is somewhere in the LOTR topic hidden in the hundreds of pages. But as for having a link to that specific page where it is posted, I am sadly lacking.

You bring up an excellent point which didn't take into consideration; the fact that it is unlikely that Lego would put all the wizards in one set. But one can wish! As far as the hats, I saw a very blurred image of Radagast the Brown preliminary art from the movie and he appeared to have a very strangely shaped hat. Nothing like Gandalf's pointy one, which we now all identify with now as the traditional wizard's hat. Who knows how Lego would do it. However, it WAS preliminary images I was looking at, and as we all know that can obviously change.

I would love to see a special hair piece for Gandalf, more detailed than Dumblefores', that looks good with the new Gamdalf beard. Also, Saruman will never wear a hat. He (from what I can remember) was never described witha hat of any sort, and I think a hat would diminish the sinister look of the character. As for Radagast, to me, he has always seemed like a wizard with a hood. We'll just have to wait and see what they do!

The hat(with a bird nest) seen in the blurry concept art is what he'll wear in the movie, people who saw the preview footage have said so.

There was also some talk of large jackrabbits pulling some kind of sled, we'll see if thats soemthing lego will use, sounded strange to me!

The hype about The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings will be immense !

LEGO should create a complete series of Battle Packs. Serious!

Real army building sets and Battle Packs without main characters. Maybe a sergeant or orc clan chief with different faces...

...just more sets like Uruk-hai Army and the Orc Forge. Only with two changes:

-One set is in a smaller size (in a real Battle Pack size) like the Star Wars Battle Packs

-One set is in a bigger size like Uruk-hai Army or the Orc Forge

-And both sets does not include any main characters.

In every wave would be included two different set styles for huge armies at home!

The possibilities are endless. AND why not the bigger one in Creator in a kind of Uruk-hai Army size ?

Take the wall. You could create with those bricks a tower also.

...hmmm, and what could you create if you buy this set twice? Yay, a city gate!

Cool, I would by that "one" set at first 4x times:

2x times for the city gate and two times for two towers. I would put those towers at the left and at the right side of the city gate.

...hmmm, I would buy that "one" set another 4x times for the city wall (two wall parts at each side).

And what about the smaller sized Battle Pack (usually Star Wars Battle Pack size)?

Cool, that set includes a small catapult. That is useful for the towers. There do need always catapults.

And what happens if I buy that "one" Battle Pack twice? Yay, with those bricks I can create a Creator battering ram or a bigger Creator catapult.

Agreed. I buy that "one" Battle Pack 8x times:

-Twice for one Creator battering ram

-Twice for two defender catapults on the towers

-4x times for two bigger siege catapults

Yay, in summery, that are for me 8x Creator wall sets (for city gate, 4x city wall and two towers) and 8x Creator Battle Packs (the catapult set). I want to go shopping...

Ohhh holy sh... The shelves are empty. Another guys had the same idea.

And LEGO. You have developed only two sets....

[Combee]

What do you guys think about the possibility of an Orthanc set like this:

Taken from this image of a Lego design room posted by Darth Hagrid in the Alien Conquest thread.

Well that is very interesting... I'd say the odds are very high seeing as thats clearly Helm's Deep on the right in that cabinet. (which I have sitting on my coffee table at the moment). (EDIT: I think the final model is slightly different to the one on that shelf, but they are more or less the same design.)

But I want to know what those sets are on the left of the cabinet (i.e. on the left of the pillar). That looks like a spider second from the top but I don't recognise any of the others...

Edited July 13, 2012 by Magma

[SheepEater]

That's too bad that nobody got close enough to take a pic of Orthanc, maybe we could have seen Saruman up there

[Deathleech]

That tower looks to be pretty tall too, at least twice as tall as the tower in the Helm's Deep set.
