The Rohirrim don't really use barding, Theoden does. Besides I think the lego barding look abit too bulky.

5 has been reported, but we only ever seen 4 in images, so don't get too dissapointed if its not 5. Human could be a human error, lets hope not.

I like that you can seperate the hat and the beard but it still being rather seamless, like Blackbeard and Davy Jones.

Thats the old "classic" lego beard, gandalf will come with a new one. But I do find it a little odd that there isnt buildt in hair with gandalfs beard.. Just a little half arsed bit.

Bah, I hope not all of the orcs have that hair piece. And being able to have them without any headgear would be good. I hope we get the proper mordor orcs later.

No I mean the scout armor is printed onto their torso underneath their armor-piece. The orc forge looks quite cool, lets hope we get more than one orc face, we've seen 2 torso prints so far. I wouldprefer if the orcs wasnt all the samecolor.

Very good. Personaly I'd want the tan bricks around the door to be orange to identify it moore as bag end.

If im not mistaken all the lego uruks exept for the berserker has tha scout armor printed. I dont think we'll ever see Lego Uruks wearing anything diferent than what we get in this wave. Cause I dont think there is a need for it.

I think it will jsut be a little landscape or soemthing that can be displayed similarly to the arcitechture range.

I imagine there will be only be one set dealing with the goblins in the first wave from the hobbit.

There is 1 berserker, 2 with full armor, one with only helmet and one with hair and no armor.

That is becuase it isnt announced, It is just assumed by everyone its coming. So for now you should think of it as non existent. Also the announced "Batman 2: dc super heroes" game hasn't released any proper info yet.

A lego balrog could either be very cool or horrible, its size emans it would propably be brick buildt and that doesent always look so good.

The lego heroes and villains wallpapers are in legos image archive in better quality than has been on other sites.

But the card shows modern envoirements, a tunnel and some kind of road. It might just be some random NYC imagery seeing as it is NYc toy fair but it seems abit out of place on the overall design of the card so I'm guessing its to match the minifigures.

because its right next to the avengers brick buildt figures. But anyways the real news is in the image I linked of the toy fair cards. we have no idea what theme it is. but the style look alot like tdkr and the dc press release did hint a bit at tdkr sets(or something similar)

Maybe show him the old animated movies if you wish to give him some context.

Sure, almsot all lego is made for kids, but that shouldn't stop us from commenting on the sets from our own point of view. Also selling half arsed things to kids cause they don't know any better isnt any good. Not that I'm saying lego is doing that. But it's what could happen if noone cared about acuracy. I do think lego is doing a rather good job with this theme, but not really having alot of new pictures to look at is gonna make you start scrutinizing the details.

Does anyone else think the minifig shadow backgrounds here looks like the dark knight rises estetic? IMAGE LINK It could aslo be avengers ones cause it looks abit similar to this: Only this seems alot less blue.

We should be, because we're not youngsters! Everyoneone must look out for their own "needs".

They looks nice, but I would prefer a set you can place minifigures in.

5 orcs is what we've heard from london toy fair. Orcs meaning both traditional orcs and uruk-hai

Just because of its length? it being longer wouldn't make sense, its the easiest place to save money on the set without sacrificing design. also its the part easiest extended seeing as the pieces are really common and build easy. Lego has covered the 2 unique parts of the wall: The drain thing and the little part pointing out that is covered in the "uruk hai army" It should be noted that the uruk hai army wall should be put btween the main castle and the rest of the wall for movie acuracy.

In ironman 2 he wears 3 suite, the suitcase portable one, the circle one and the triangle one. You know Dr. Banner does change pants once in a while, besides to me it looks like the beige pants only they have gotten abit dirty. The lego hulk is from "the helicarrier breakout", not "the avenegrs stand in a circle in the street" (wich would be a good set for minifigures )

Now that the Aliens have been shown there should be no reason for lego to keep their sets secret at the NYC toy fair. 1 week to go.
