Well mostly because if we are limited to one big set per year (Rivendell 2023 and Barad-Dur 2024) i think there are locations that will be made before Lothlorien or Bree like Minas Tirith, Helm's Deep or Bag End. If we actually get a full wave that changes everything of course.

What a great set, can't wait to build and display it!

Well we had to bridge the 10 years gap in the theme somehow right? :D

Most likely. The custom Sauron i bought from Nicebricks has them as well, looking forward to compare the two.

Until now for me it has been all playscale LOTR/Hobbit sets, no promo stuff and no BH going forward. Plus for each LOTR set i eventually added 1 sealed copy as well (excluding Orthanc) but did not do the same for Hobbit (no plan to do it in the future either).

Well did you really expect Lego to make a realistic version of Bf-109? :D

They really do look meh don't they? Maybe better resolution is going to change that a bit but for now no buy for me unless i can find some nice discount.

The discussion thread for original LOTR/Hobbit wawes was here as well, why move it now. Just leave it here.

That's why I hope we won't get any ROP stuff. Yes it could include nice minifigs regardless of the show's "quality" but for me it would just mean one less set from original trilogy we could have had instead. There is so much potential to cover in those 3 movies.

Please don't. :D Hope they focus on the original trilogy and potentially the new animated movie rather than that Amazon thing...

I am still not 100% convinced about the buildings but that might change with better resolution pictures (hopefully).

Same here. Waited too long for another LOTR set to wait even a little bit longer voluntarily. :D

Honesly I don't think so and I personally hope we don't. As you mentioned bit too cartoonish for my taste. :)

Yeah that's why i didn't get people complaining about size. I think it's going to be much bigger in reality than this blurred picture shows right now. I accept your proposal. :D

Damn 42cm could be already too much for my space. :D

Well one is going to be Legolas for sure, i will pretend the second one is Glorfindel for now. :)

Yop, can't please everybody, but based on the last 20 pages at least on this forum this is what majority wanted.

We are going to need a bigger boat shelf...

Not microscale, yes! Day one purchase for sure.

Well first they need to offer something to get some sales. And BH don't count. :D

Might be just US thing. In Europe it looks like all are still in stock ready for order.

After quite some time i decided to check Aliexpress and found out there are now custom Napoleonic figures available. Decided to order one of each (only after i made my order i realized there are few more Russian figures that my seller didn't offer). Long story short i put them together today and to be honest their quality is surprisingly good (both figures and accessories) and for sure better than some of the previous customs i purchased from the same place (Gondor, 2nd age Elves etc). All plumes are removable + both versions (tall and small one) come together on a sprue for each figure that uses one so you will end up with some spares as well. The only issue i encountered was missing hand for one of the figures but to my surprise official Lego hands now fit with no issue so i replaced it easily. France Great Britain Others

This is really great rendition, would buy for sure if available as official set from Lego. :)

Yop never understood this thinking that by buying completely different type of product i might eventually get what i want. Like how would that work? LEGO will gather lets say 1 year of sales data for LOTR Brickheadz then spend another 1,5 years (or how long development process of new theme usually takes) and then maybe in 3 years we will get playscale based wave? Doesn't make much sense.

If anybody finds out a solution please let me know (carefully looking at my 70+ Uruk-Hai i rather not touch anymore :D ).
