    Were there leaks about GWPs in past releases? How early did we have those leaks in past years? And perhaps Lego has tightened the lid on leaks with the LOTR theme after the video leak. Have they purged the LAN leaker?

    Wait, what? Where's that third one from???

    I do love how this blends "Chinatown" into an otherwise western style street!

    ^^^The mushroom girl has a different torso print and legs. I wish they differentiated her more. Perhaps a different torso color? I also wonder what other mushroom cap color could have worked?

    Unpopular opinion... make the GWP available for an extended period of time! Make it nice and exclusive and in and of itself collectible.

    Don't the minifig sets appeal to an 'older' audience in general? I think perhaps the movie reached a critical mass in popularity that Lego felt fitting to make a set aimed towards that market. I was late to find out about them on release (about two weeks or so), and by the time I checked on the web site, I think at least one of the sets was on backorder. They made those sets well in terms of design, and they made them for the right audience. I myself like the original story/ classic movie, but not necessarily a fan of the remake. I do like the new sets however.

    I really just think that the previous "Houses of the World" should have just been modulars, and Lego could have featured different buildings from different lands.

    They do look nice. But not for me though. I want location sets and movie scenes with minifigs.

    My bad! I have to agree with that 110%. Barad-dur and Shire were great. But Rivendell was just magnificent. So with this one. Battle pack!!!! That is it!!!! That would be an awesome GWP!!!

    I actually want the gift with purchase to be quite a robust set and substantial in significance. But I get it, they should not be making it “exclusive“. What they could do is that the gift purchase is free when you buy the set (Minas Tirith, in this case), but the GWP is also available for purchase at a later date. I feel like this is more consistent with the practice of other promotional products, which may not even be toys/Lego. Didn’t they already do this when Rivendell came out? There was a GWP upon release but the set was available for purchase later on.

    Couldn’t find it anymore on the two Reddit channels. Lol

    That's true!!! I was thinking the same! Oh how wonderful it would have been if part of the interior could be taken out to be displayed separately. But that would probably be too much to ask.

    So, we now have "home base" settings for Elves (Rivendell), Orcs (Barad-dur), Hobbits (Shire), and Men (Minas Tirith). Are we getting a 'home' for Dwarves next?

    Looks great!

    Wonder how many mini figs and if it will be a new head mould, or just new prints from existing ones.

    Depends on how loosely you would like to apply the term ronin. There were female warriors in Japan. Lego likes juxtaposing genders so I would not be surprised.

    Perhaps Lego might think that including animals in CMFs can bump sales, even of the less-desired characters. LOL

    So, which mini fig-based sets are we getting for 2026?
  19. hikouki
    Just saw the Zelda final battle set. At the back of my mind, I just wished the Balrog set was diorama-based just like this, instead of a book nook.

    Re-use some Jurassic Park moulds.
  21. hikouki
    They could probably do some small sets every now and then for The Hobbit. I really want another Smaug. (missed out on that one) LOL
  22. hikouki
    After Minas Tirith, what location could be next for LOTR? Or would they start focusing on The Hobbits movies?
  23. hikouki
    Looks like the elephant has regular red/ dark red legs? Was hoping we get regular red-orange legs for one of the previous brick suit figs. That new brick-suit is coral, is it? Or dark pink?

    I wonder if Lego monitors BL prices for minifigs to gauge demand? As much as the Disney castle 2.0 was perhaps a 'flop', the minifigs weren't and I could only imagine them increasing in value.

    What's a concept that they have not done for a modular? - underground: They have done this for Harry Potter. Perhaps they could consider a subway station? - seaside: Perhaps a pier-style modular but with an aquatic flora and fauna scene? - non-modular floors: fixed floors but the walls flip open, or the roof flips open.
