LOTR & The Hobbit 2013 Set Discussion
The_Chosen_1 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Thanks so much for sharing, GRogall! The sets look absolutely incredible! I can't wait for pics of the other sets, and more importantly -- Orthanc!- 7,499 replies

Amazing work! I love the simplicity of the piece, and the reflection effect.

LOTR & The Hobbit 2013 Set Discussion

Hm...interesting. I've actually heard some other reports of Walmart clearances, but it appears to be hit or miss. I'll be sure to swing by my local stores this week just to make sure.- 7,499 replies

Just as an aside, it appears that Attack on Weathertop is silently making an exit. It's sold out on the U.S. Lego S@H site, Target.com, and Walmart.com. If anyone has been putting off buying this one, now may be the time to do so.- 7,499 replies

I'm registered there, but haven't posted in a while. It would be good if more Tolkien fans jumped on board with the Lego theme, though.- 7,499 replies

I hope we get at least one more wave. There are quite a few more sets that they could make just based on this season, let alone everything that's coming. I'd really like to see Leatherhead or the Rat King.

It is encouraging to see just how much the cast is getting into the Lego theme. I'm hoping for an Azog minifigure in the not-too-distant future as well.- 7,499 replies

LOTR & The Hobbit 2013 Set Discussion
The_Chosen_1 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I couldn't have said it better myself. Lord of the Rings was a "most-wanted" theme for many of us, so there's always been this sense of uncertainty regarding how long the theme will last and what it will cover. So when a set like the Corsair ship comes along, there is some cause for alarm -- not because it's a bad set, but out of concern that key sequences/characters from the films won't see the light of day.- 7,499 replies

Don't LotR sets already appeal to Castle fans? I see your point rogueang, but I'm not sure how much sense it makes for Lego to use LotR as an amalgamation of multiple themes.- 7,499 replies

Pixar Animation Studios and Films Discussion

The same people are working on it. Pete Docter and Andrew Stanton wrote Monsters, Inc. as well.- 279 replies

Hm....that would be quite a long break. More than 2 years, to be exact. That would be a first for a licensed theme, but I suppose stranger things have happened.

I just recently picked up the two 2012 sets, and they're great! I'm assuming that this theme is dead in the water at this point however, since we've had no word on any 2013 sets. It's a shame, since Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were the last major characters that the theme needed.

So you're not interested in Monsters University because of one throwaway line? Did it occur to you that maybe Mike was exaggerating?- 279 replies

LOTR & The Hobbit 2013 Set Discussion
The_Chosen_1 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I think Deathleech makes a great point. I think Lego is making something of a statement by releasing a large, more obscure set as the flagship for Wave 2 (the Corsair ship). It's as if they're saying: "Don't worry, guys. The theme is doing just fine, so we can afford to release an obscure set like this." That's my hope at least.- 7,499 replies

LOTR & The Hobbit 2013 Set Discussion
The_Chosen_1 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
If we keep being vocal and throwing our full support (and $$$) behind the theme, I'm sure we'll see it continue another couple of years. At the very least, I want to see the LotR theme continue long enough to cover all of the major bases (*ahem* Gondor *ahem*).- 7,499 replies

The_Chosen_1 replied to CM4Sci's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I agree, it would be a pretty boneheaded move not to include minifigures with Orthanc. I think it's too early on in the LotR line for them to risk not including minifigures to boost the appeal of a set.- 7,499 replies

^ True, but the timing would have been perfect for the May promotion, with Iron Man 3 releasing the same month.
