I think the face is Spot on! Same with merry and pippin !

Haldir has higher eyebrows and they bend(?) in the middle, where Legolas' bend more towards the side. Haldirs are less flat. And hes cheek lines are propably not exact same as legolas. They can't use the same face as legolas since they already have same hair!

No they don't, and I prefer them not to normal plates are much more capatible seeing as they aren't limited to be under everything.

They are not the flat baseplates, you can see the edge of them quite clearly in the toy fair picture, Also the plate under the wall section doesent exist in that size.

All that matter is how well the sets sells and how long they have the lisence.

I think it's jsut to extend the hill, open it up and its twize as long.

They always do small sets for themes, and a cart and a horse is much better than the usual piece of rock. Especialy if this is the new horse.

These were online a very short time after the anouncment in 2011. People seeing them for the first time be aware THEY ARE PRELIMINARY meaning what you see isn't what you get.

Cool off a little. Read this.

Haldir is an elf not Eomer. shelob is in first half of return of the king. By orc shields do you mean the uruk-hair shields? we've seen them since the prelims.

wont be A figure for him in first wave

Well they have dug out the earth to make their holes n that. it really really look like a pickaxe to me, also the pikes at the end shouldnt be longer than the ones on normal uruk swords

Um do you mean the pickaxe?

GREAT Loki is in 3 sets, and he might have hes helmet! Awesome!

there are some changes to helms deep.

Most useless liscence ever(well...) lego and minecraft is similar enough already so that it doesen't need a lisence In my opinion. Interested to see what the set(s) turns out to be.

yes they look enough alike to where their minifigures would be similar in diferent colors. similar hair style, smililar goatee, lines under the eyes, pointy eyebrows and heavy eyes. I'm just talking abou the faces/heads btw.

I don't think they messed up, its just that the 2 characthers look similar, besides theoden is more blonde, the facial characteristics does match up with Sean Bean's face.

people will propably start seeing HOBBIT sets during december like they did with the DC sets. If the hobbit sets are January release.

The head is round you know so we do se a fair bit of the sides, they would have to be pretty far back to not show.

The tree of gondor wasnt on the costume he wore in FOTR. __ what anoys me (now) is aragorns costume colors are all wrong hes 2 shirts under the coat should switch colors.

I hope for something new like romans, I would like to see a more historic Egypt theme set in like cleopatra/pharao times. like the castle sets but set in egypt.

I saw, I was the one who asked about it , it is great news! lets hope the gandalf situation is an oversight aswell. It is excellent that we get 5 orcs! in one set. We now have uruks goblins and orcs accounted for in lego. They are doing a great job covering factions fellowship, eomer and theoden + rohan soldier. What we miss is some elves to accompany Haldir

they dont look very similar here either.. As for similarities withe the prints their eyes and eyebrows are same shapes.

@mcbeef Sooo did you get excited now that you know the sets are coming and there are plenty of images to look at?
