Ok, surely the sets are not what we saw on the movies, or imagine on books, but we all knew that was hardly to happen, I think these preliminar versions are fine, they have the minifigures, new molds, and seems the selection of sets to have locations is well distributed.
Some things I have read on this thread are fantastic, just like the idea of the Prancing Pony.
I hope that TLG will increment the detail on the construction attractiveness of the sets without increment the costs or diminishing the quantity of minifigures, wich it seems to be great.
The two sets that definetly are a must have IMHO are Helms Deep and Uruk Hai Army.
