Durins Bane

No details because most hadn't seen the movie when I posted that, and I was/am not giving anything away. I still say there is no excuse for not having the trolls.

The rock formation wouldn't be so confusing, to those who have seen the film...

I didn't watch it in 3d. great score!

Are you just going to reply to every post I make? IMO, means In my opinion. I'm sorry I just feel they weren't up to snuff on this wave. This is my opinion. I have not said one bad thing about the dwarves, they are perfect. I think the warg set is justifiably horrible. Why reuse the old orcs when these are clearly different. Leaving out a key figure sucks, not having an eagle is lame.. A brown warg would have been waaay better than the white one. Bagend is fine. Riddles is fine. It is lame that they couldn't help but release two sets early... maybe they can give us two old movie sets with the next hobbit wave...But I am not, NOT blaming Lego for these two since they couldn't help it.

That is what this whole line should have been focused on, imo.

I just believe they picked completely bad scenes for the sets this year... Also, they messed up the design, terribly of a few characters, and left out things that should and could not have been left out by other toy brands that would have been making toys for a movie...

If I do not get a Erebor Battlepack I will quit Lego. Just saw the movie, Nothing short of perfect.

There are no words to describe how amazing this movie was... It is a MUST SEE. However, I think Lego Did TERRIBLE on this whole wave of sets...Just my opinion.but Im so upset with the route lego took...

I think they HAVE to give us Gondor. I would rather have a piece of minas tirith, witchking on fellbeast attacking gondor soldiers. I cant see them calling a set with Orthanc wizard battle. I also dont think they will include ents in the wb set.. they would either do ents vs orthanc with orcs, or gandalf vs saruman in a small set..

Nope, because the grey brick alone would be worth it, and they could easily mix a medieval building into the current city buildings...If they were a little cheaper and more frequent, It would work. But I just hope this line is something waaaay different from what everyone is expecting. I was disappointing with the new space sets, was not enough of a throwback to insectoids... Lotr keeps missing out on important things. I don't think we know whats coming for Castle or lotr. Look ow they surprised us with Galaxy squads.

Yep, After re-watching the movie I only see 20 battlements on the deeping wall, so I might shorten it...

I'll Post pics of the causeway, Its super huge!

I mean like walls as tall as the modular city sets... and towers even taller!!! Im talking a UCS line, like green grocer, pet shop... HUGE!

I hope there isn't anything from older waves coming back. I want new everything! I have also always wanted a modular castle line, like the modular city buildings they come out with. 150-200 dollar UCS sets that make one big castle. Tower here, then a gatehouse, a keep, and wall sections!

I used to work in the store in my state. I still get the hookup.

That's worth it just for the shields and swords!!

But without ships or castles, what would we get?

Yea I started the minifig scale version first, I believe. It's a really slow process. I think I have about 140 uruks and 21 eomers and 21 rohan archers.

Tiny update:

I didn't mean your post... Literally everyone does it... some people do it without any history related sets at all...

I think your wrong on the modern dragon knights...THEY are the worst figs ever made from a historic perspective. I mean, come on, Bronze chains wrapped around themselves for armor? thats just lame...

I've always been confused about this thread, but shouldn't we only list Historic-themed stuff, that we acquired?

9074 set... Half off from Lego store.

My girlfriend just got me 10 Uruk-hai army's for christmas! So, that brings my total to 21 Uruk sets...and ill count total orks when i wake up

Because I used to work at Lego and I am still close with everyone at my old store, and I am there on a daily basis.
