Darth Shadowthrone

Brick Clicker on Instagram is saying that there’ll be a Labrador dog accessory in build-a-minifigure - hopefully we’ll finally get a black labrador as BAM animals are often recoloured

I feel like Sol and Mae seem to be the most important characters so they’re most likely to get figures. If there’s another Jedi I’m hopeful they make Jecki Lon or Kelnacca - it would be great to get more alien Jedi figures

I don’t think we’ll get Acolyte sets this year but I’m really hopeful there’s a couple in the January or March waves - I could see a larger shuttle set with 4-5 of the main characters and a small £20-30 Vector starfighter set as well.

I think that a small wave of sets like Indiana Jones would be a very reasonable hope at this point - with rings of power coming out and more films on the horizon, lord of the rings is very relevant and it has an active fanbase with a demand for lego lotr sets that has swelled to massive proportions judging by the frenzy of the last couple of days. Im really hopeful for at least a couple of smaller sets next year!

Best of luck to everyone trying to get it tonight! I’ve managed to order mine - I didn’t dare leave the page until I got email confirmation aha. It’s a big feeling of relief being able to relax knowing I’ve got the gwp with it

Make sure you’re logged into your Insider account if you have one! It’s only available on June 1st for Insiders, with 3 days of exclusitivity until it’s available for everyone on June 4th Im not completely sure but I think the Fellbeast GWP is only available for Lego Insiders too

Honestly although this is an unpleasant surprise Enoch was probably always going to be hit or miss anyway because of how his mask would have to be stylised to fit in with Lego. Hopefully there’ll be another figure with a new mold for Ahsoka season 2 or the Filoni film As long as the gold face printing looks better than this I’ll be happy lol

I’ve really enjoyed being able to get castles pieces from my local Lego Store’s build-a-minifigure. Using a couple of other pieces I’ve been able to put together a pretty large Lion Knight army:

Yeah I think that Balrog wing was one of the only pieces of proof that there were more LOTR sets in development that ended up not being made. Also I can’t help but think that Lego won’t make another £300+ set next year because that would be too many sets all in the same pricepoint - personally my hood is that they make a £150-200 Bag End set alongside 2 or 3 dioramas - iconic scenes like the Hobbits hiding from the Ringwraith and Gandalf on the bridge of Khazad Dum

Update: I gave in and added a bunch of burps and large plates to up my bestseller order enough to pass the threshold so I’m getting both the pieces and the GWP It is frustrating though that £35 of my order in standard pieces did not contribute towards the GWP

A mix of both - about £40 worth of bestseller pieces and the same for standard pieces. I threw in a copy of the Dreamzzz village to go over the threshold and then when that didn’t work I checked the small print on the diner So bestseller orders count, it looks like! I might see if I can add anything else to push it over the threshold!

Thank you, that’s good to know! I went to check-out and apparently the space diner is only available with standard sets that pass over the threshold, not bricks and pieces orders. This is a shame because I was lucky enough to get a couple of gwps when I last ordered bricks and pieces in January, but oh well … I’ll wait for the next 2x promotion instead :)

Tbf if the chef orc has the same skin tone as the old Gundabad orcs I reckon I’ll try to give him one of their hairpieces

I think he’s from a deleted scene where Frodo and Sam sneak into an orc army, you can find the scene on YouTube Luckily the set comes with 6 helmets so it’ll be very easy to fix that orc and use his hat elsewhere

Here’s a pic of all four unique orc helmets - I honestly love the detail with the orcs, it’s leaps and bounds above the endless Mordor orcs which were reused in the og theme

Is there any good pictures of all the different orc helmets? I take it there’s 2 copies of 4 unique helmets included in this new weapons pack

Pictures have been posted by fateful_lego on Instagram on the back of the box you can see the mount doom sidebuild and it looks like Frodo and Sam are wearing orc helmets

love the Orcs, them and Sauron are the highlight of the sets figures I notice that Frodo doesn’t have Sting - I really hope the Rivendell weapons pack isn’t exclusive to that set The interior of the tower looks incredible - I love the dungeons and what appears to be a feasting room

Looking at the tabletop photos of the sets has completely sold me on the Allosaurus - very similar colouring to Isla Nublar graphic and I actually don’t mind that it’s Rex sized! We could get a teenage Allosaurus with the Indoraptor body eventually but I’m not taking any chances and will buy it as soon as there’s a reasonable discount

Do we know when the next GWP is going to be? I’ve got an order I’d like to place but it’d be great if there’s double points or a free gift sometime soon

Barad Dur is meant to be revealed this week as well so I reckon it’ll be Lord of the Rings one day and then Jurassic World the next

Thank you - I browse brickset regularly and had still managed to miss that!

I definitely think a para is one of the most iconic dinosaurs that haven’t been made into a set yet. Also because some sets have been having multiple dinosaurs would anyone else like it if there were 2 identical dinos included in the same set? I’m thinking it’d be cool to get 2 gallimimus, pterodactyls or raptors at once to help build herds or packs

Are there any non-video reviews yet? I don’t mind watching videos as well but it’s nice to see lots of photos of the sets and reading a reviewers thoughts

Going back to Barad Dur, I’m so excited to see how many new molds it gets Hopefully the entire sword pack will be reused from Rivendell if Sting is included. Hopefully the Orcs have hair and I think the green Orcs could look quite like the old Moria orcs with pointed ears. The brown orcs sound more like the Uruks from Cirith Ungol so they might look like the old Lurtz figure without pointed ears. For new molds in hoping for at least 7: a new body and arms for Gollum, Sauron’s helmet, the Mouth’s helmet, an Orc helmet for Frodo and a new hair-ear piece for the Orcs
