Nice work! I love the posing on the figures, and the dmashed droid parts are realistic. Also, good work on making R2's head round. Good luck!

I'd hope if they ever made a DK book, it'd have a 'celebration' feel, and so either come with a coronation Aragorn or and old Bilbo figure. (Perhaps one for the Character Encyclopedia and the other for the Visual Dictionary? ) But, I doubt they will make any books soon as the LOTR theme does not have any 'history' for TLG yet, unlike HP, SW or Batman.

Wah! My already posted entry images are 800x601! Do I need to crop them?

Wolfhead Attack set now added! Look out, Minas Tirith will come soon!

This would be my first go at Star Wars MOC'ing, so this'llbe also the first time I've used a droid too. My R2 unit looks a little rusty(From the original X-Wing fighter), but I hope no-one notices! My entry to the Eurobricks Astromech workplace contest has R2-D2 and anotherastromech working in law enforcement. This scene is based off part of the Star Wars: Droids Season of Revolt comic,in which R2, under the control of the 'caretaker virus' forces Threepio tohotwire a police speeder with sidecar from under the police officer's nose. TheTargonnian dictator Craw sends his captain, Steggus to capture 'Smiley', ahuman under the effects of Savorium (A herb developed by Ithorian MasterZorneth, which if eaten makes the consumer permenently cheerful and susceptible)with an unnamed three legged battle vehicle. Anyway, on to the model. To begin with, an overview of the MOC. Details of the Police Speeder (Notice Artoo is missing his legs here, I wanted it to look more ‘snug’.) This thing is fragile! I reworkedthe design many times to get it to look like the comic reference images. Now for the three-legged battle vehicle. I’ll give it a SWsounding name, and baptise it the T-LBV. This design practically built itself,with the obvious cockpit part combinations. I promise to you that this flextubing is NOT cut! I've used just a little artistic licence here but otherwise the design is the same. If it looks weird it's not my fault, it's the artist who drew it! Finally, a look at the other part of the model. We have a police officer, his astromech, Smiley and Zorneth. The characters involved in this MOC; P.S. I don't own any of the comic images in this entry, they are copyright of some company. Wish me luck in the competition!

There's a new video on the Lego website, a shortened version of the miniseries! It has a preview of The Hobbit at the end, which gives us an idea how Bilbo's travelling clothing will look! http://thelordoftherings.lego.com/en-us/Videos/Default.aspx Love the detailing!

^ No, I think they meant the windowframes. In which case, yes, this is a new part. Also, I'm worried that the Gandalf minifig with the game won't be special, if I can trust the source. This is a shame because I'd love to see something like a chrome Sauron, old Bilbo or something else unlikely to appear in a regular set.

Still no sign of any shop in the UK making these prices reasonable. We still have to pay around 33% more on Uruk-Hai Army, 30% more on the Mines, 25% more on Weathertop, Orc Forge and Shelob and 15% more on Helm's Deep (Making it £100 rather than £80) Luckily, though, Gandalf Arrives is almost equal to my calculated prices converted from US $. BUT, it's out of stock everywhere apart from S@H, with added postage prices. Seeing as I live rather remotely from places like TRU or a proper Argos, especially an actual LEGO shop, getting new sets on time is harder here. I've sent a complaint to TLG, I hope it makes a a difference. EDIT: I love those animations! But it is really weird with Boromir. It seems as if they wrapped the 1st film up in two episodes, and the other 1 and a half (More happened in the Two Towers than Helm's Deep) in two episodes. It's really quite weird.

Does anyone notice the impossible connection between the hobbit-hole roof and the dwarf picture underneath? Could be a new part...

Yay! Thanks. They're still overpriced compared to the American prices, but ordering now... EDIT- Actually, no. They still cost £22 more than they should, by American pricing, and that was calculated with the Orc Forge, which I cannot get. I can't stand this ludicrous pricing!

I love the look of Thorin! It's perfect. Just to let you know, chapter 3 the Seige of Helm's Deep story animation is now added to the website! http://thelordoftherings.lego.com/en-us/Videos/Default.aspx Very funny, as usual. Though, they seem to have ignored Boromir's death completely, with no explanation!

This, in my opinion, is the worst series yet. Anyone noticed how American CMF is? Hockey player, cowboy, native American, native American, cheerleader, cheerleader, cowgirl, American football player, daredevil (With his stars and stripes), baseball player... must I go on? To me the 'football' player is just a recolour of the hockey player, and the cheerleder also a relcolour. I can't help but feel TLG is running ouy of ideas for these. That fairy- What?? And the black robot is just the S1 one crossed with the Space Bad Guy. Still, I can't help but love the Conquistador, buisnessman and Shakespearian actor!

Seems as if we'll be seeing a few more details very soon! Do people in the Comic Con get to keep their Bilbos? I want one, now! Also, people, remember Bombur's headpeice/beard/fatsuit has to stick out enough for the rounded front of the head to stick out forwards and backwards, so he will hvae to bulge all the way down his torso.

Personally, I like them all. I'm looking forward to the second wave before I even get a set of the first! My least favourite is probably Bombur, because his hair/beard/fatsuit has very simplistic printing and the hair seems to hang at an odd angle. His chin is moulded onto the part, but also his bald patch. I don't like this beacuse I'd imagine him looking like Ki-Adi Mundi without the hair... Finally his necklace should be a different colour in my opinion as it is hard to tell it apart from his hair. What's with Dwalin's blue tattoos? I didn't see them in the trailer and they look rather sci-fi and silly.

Fangorn Forest now added! Enjoy!

Iv'e just seen Argos's prices for the sets in the UK! Are these prices the actual ones? They're massive! When I converted the dollar prices on the toyfair pictures getting all the sets totalled about £238, but calculating them with these prices is £320! hat's almost a £100 overpriced! How can the Uruk-Hai army cost £30, when it is the size of one and a half battle packs, not three! I will refuse to buy any at that price!

Amon Hen set now added! Hoping for more feedback!

How about this? Gamling is now not named on the imagined back of this box , and Hama is replaced by a generic horseman. (He's to come with Hall of Edoras instead now) Thanks for the feedback!

Has anyyone noticed the Equestrian has a new, amazing possibility? She has inner leg printing! That's a TLG first! Today I bought five random figs from WHSmith. (How dare they overprice them when the press release clearly stated they'd cost £1.99 in the shops!) I didn't even know the price until checkout because it was not shown! I knew that I want them all apart from the swimmer, as he's rubbish, so I had a high chance of getting most of the ones I wanted. But! I ended out with 3 swimmers, a Equestrian and the Gymnast. I hoped the prining on the Equestrian could be more useful, but the thrice chopped up rosette on the legs/hips/torso means that the three parts cannot be removed and still look good. Still. she'd make a perfect Princess Anne. Personally, my favourite minifig from this series as of yet is the Gymnast, for her new hairpeice and actual Lego bricks included in a set for the first time!

Rohan Battle Pack set now added! Orc one coming soon!

The Beacon set now added! That set went through a long design phase, as I didn't know for sure how big I wanted it to be. Enjoy!

Nice rocks here, and I loved that scene in the book. Let's hope the films do it right! This is exactly as I imagined the scene myself. Should I hope or not hope that they make a set of this? Actually, I hope not. Your MOC of it does this justice enough.

This thread is now updated with Balrog Fight and Gates of Moria! I think I've gone perhaps into horse overkill, I just want to get more of the lovely new poseable one! The Gates of Moria set I thought would have to include those minifgures, but I would much rather have replaced Frodo with Legolas, as you get many too many Frodo's across the current sets, and it would be good to get more Elf hairpeices.

Just to say, Iv'e been following these sets since they first came out, and was inspired by how you visualized the sets already released differently. I would so much wantan Osgiliath set! It's my favourite location from the movies. My Osgiliath will be smaller than yours and I'll try my best not to copy your neat building style!

Thanks for the comments on the ship! I've made a few other sets, which you can see here, if you want to: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=71204
