Yes, those are typically not available in LUGBULK as well, unless the part becomes available in a non-CMF set.

All the figs from all the available sets are now posted: Not sure when I'll get to the one-off requests. I need to catch up on all sorts of things I've been putting off while I shoot these figs.

Received Orc Forge set from Target.com today. Will get photos of figs up later. The free poster offer from Target appears to be the Gollum one (see below). That's what I recevied today anyway. It's also possible it's a random draw. Anyone else receive one?

I've posted photos for the Weathertop figs on my flickr feed finally. I'll try and get to some of the one off requests next. I should be getting Orc Forge tomorrow as well.

Helms Deep figs added to my flickr group: I'll shoot Weathertop figs tomorrow.

Mines of Moria fig photos uploaded, along with a few one-off requests.

It's printed.

Mines of Moria set in-hand now. LOTS of stickers with this set. Cave troll is nice. Gimli's helmet is sweet. Photos will come tonight.

Yeah, the pages with all the minifigs are from the instruction books from the sets. I posted the ones from the Uruk-hai Army set on my flickr feed. (The 2nd one is a little blurry. I need to rescan it.) I'll try and remember to do that tonight.

I'll try to remember tonight to get that pic. Thanks for the compliment on the photos. BTW, (I don't think I saw this earlier), Target.com has them all (including Orc Forge) for pre-order. Become available next Wednesday.

I fixed the Eomer pics on my flickr feed. And got Gandalf's head to sit lower - needed to "snap" it into the beard. Sorry about that - was in a hurry last night. Will try and get Mines of Moria pics up tonight.

Doh, I did mess up the heads. They are similar, but are indeed different. I'll update the photo.

Received Gandalf Arrives, Shelob Attacks, and Uruk-hai Army sets today. Posted photos of the figs on my flickr feed. If I had more time I'd do a detailed review. Work is kicking my butt though. Mines of Moria coming tomorrow.

Yes, it's a new product. Sold separate from the games. It's a storage box which has slots and bins for holding all the pieces from the four Heroica games (Castle Fortaan, Caverns of Nathuz, Draida Bay, Waldurk Forest), and comes with a "map" which serves as a playing surface for the game.

There's possibly some hints to the 2012 Heroica modules in the new Heroica Storage Box. The map includes references to four regions - Barresh, Drandora, Seldaan, and Elsruck. See my post here on the storage box: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58913 Pics of the map here:

Found this at the LEGO store yesterday. It's a Heroica Storage Box for holding (and traveling with) all the parts from the four sets. It includes a fold out playing surface with a map of the Heroica world. As an added bonus, there may be hints to the next modules to be released in 2012, as there are four regions which are referenced off the map - Barresh (home of the Barbarian), Drandora (home of the Rogue), Seldaan, and Elsruck. The box is very well put together, and feels solid (reminds me of the sturdiness of the MBA Kit 1 box). It was $34.99, but a very nice addition to the Heroica collection. More pics on my flickr feed.

I received a similar package and letter today. Four chromed coins on a sprue. Coins were 10, 20, 30, and 40. No gold bar however. In the letter it states - "Please accept our apologies for the descrepency between the box and the actual parts. Unfortunately, we don't make a shiny gold brick as depicted on the box. The coins that were used in the photo, however, were from a totally different set, and I've included them with this letter."

Bingo. I meant "hopefully" from a collector standpoint.

The poster does indeed have that blanked out SSD. It measures approx. 32" x 24" btw.

Name: Shadow ARF Trooper Theme: Star Wars Year: 2011 Pieces: 5 Minifigs: 1 Price: (free as part of 'May the Force Be With You' promotion) Description: Build a better intergalactic battle with the Shadow ARF Trooper™! Boost your Clone Wars battles with the ultra-rare LEGO® Star Wars™ Shadow ARF Trooper™! Straight from the Clone Wars battlefields, this Advance Recon Force trooper waits in the shadows to strike for the Republic. Box/Polybag: Normal polybag with cartoonish picture of Shadow ARF Trooper. New Clone Wars branding across the top. Parts of the bag are transparent so that you can see the minifig parts inside. Polybag Front and Back Polybag Contents Minifig Welp, quick build. :) Just the one minifig. Here he is - nice and shadowy. Shadow ARF Trooper Front, Back, and Side The head is the typical fleshie Clone Trooper head. Trooper Head Parts He comes with the usual short blaster to blast the baddies when doing recon. It would have been cool to get some other recon gear or something. Trooper with Short Blaster The helmet has blue accents, and the silver visor. Helmet Closeup Comparison with ARF Trooper, which comes in the 7913 battlepack. Comparison with "non-shadow" ARF Trooper My Ratings I was going to use my rating system from before, but the categories don't exactly fit. Perhaps some Reviewers Academy training will do me some good. I essentially give this guy a 40/50 rating. Nothing really new with the design - he's just a shadowy version of the ARF. But he's exclusive (and hopefully stays somewhat rare), and was free with my purchase today.

Yes, you get them in stores as well. Got mine today.

I was going to do a 7051 review, but it appears someone else is doing that. The start of my photos for the review I was going to do are posted here: I've got a tri-copter set as well. If I get time tomorrow I may do a review on it.

I'd like to join the Reviewer's Academy. I posted my first review, on the new Alien Conquest Alien Defender set (7050), in the Sci-Fi forum, and would love to learn more about making my reviews and photography better for the community. I've got more Alien Conquest sets to review, and hopefully some of the new castle/kingdoms sets soon.

Posted my full review of 7050 here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=54827
