    Fantastic MOC! I can spot a lot of big molded parts that I didn't even know were made in black. Added to index!

    Back in october 2002 I spent an evening painstakingly taking printscreens of the crappy flash based instructions on Lego's website (which was taken down in less than a week after I had finished). 251 pages, about 80 mb total. In around 2007 I sent them to Brickfactory website and he arranged them neatly, but apparently he has removed all instructions from the site. (EDIT: My bad, apparently they are still at brickfactory, I just couldn't figure out the link) One recent email asked me for instructions. I still have them. EDIT: Uploaded to Flicker Set 1 of 8 Set 2 of 8 Set 3 of 8 Set 4 of 8 Set 5 of 8 Set 6 of 8 Set 7 of 8 Set 8 of 8

    We need a LOTR Village of Bree/Prancing Pony set as the successor to the 10193!

    Hi! How were you able to put chain mail body print on the soldiers and the orcs? I am allowed to cut-n-paste your printed torsos to other lxf files, but they never appear when I set a new design on a torso. I moved this question out as a new topic /Admin

    If you go by the instructions only one wheel is driven (easily fixed, though)

    Good luck to you. I may have to revisit thread in the near future - my old Windows XP's motherboard died a few weeks ago. I have bought a replacement refurbished Windows XP system in anticipation of having problems running it on my Windows 7 laptop. I cannot test anything RIS. 2.0 at the moment though, because I don't have it with me. I hope I'm OK though - My RIS 2.0 came with a USB tower. Anyone of you ever had success using that USB tower in an emulated Windows 98 system in VMPlayer?

    Answer to your best ability. Not according to how you WISH there was a 3rd wave or more, but how likely it is. 1) Do they sell well? Store managers or Lego employees are in a good position to know this. 2) Do you know anything that can confirm for certain that there will be more sets next year?

    Pirate Ship Ambush for me. It's big, detailed, and has tons of figs. (because I can't vote for Orthanc) Well, we have those in the meantime.

    My own one word review: "Meh" Excellent idea, I remember one guy posted pics of two Helm's Deep sets linked together to form one large enclosed castle, but I can't find it now.

    ... Mr Fedex brought me something nice this fine morning :cry_happy: (for reference: ordered Aug. 1st 7:30 AM)

    Fantastic set! :wub: When does it go on sale? ... just kidding. Astounding MOC!

    I strongly disagree here. The Helm's Deep set from last year has a better piece/price ratio, more basic bricks and less specialized pieces than the preceding generic castle from Kingdoms. Nothing stops kids from rebuilding Helm's Deep into a generic castle and have the uruk hais as the defenders! There's nothing preventing kids to use licensed sets and use them in any which way they want. Superman can wear the One Ring and chill in Olivia's bed room with Darth Vader while she serves them cupcakes. There's no "wrong" way to play or build.

    Marvelous.One of the best Edoras I've seen yet. Do you have any shots of the interior? Added to index

    There is a way to keep all the boxes and save quite a lot of space without flattening them. Just fill the larger boxes with smaller boxes

    Finally got an email that it was shipped! (I ordered aug.1st at 7:30 AM)

    I got back into Lego as an adult in 2002, so it's very hard for me to remember. I remember the name being thrown around more and more on Lugnet as that site got more and more stubborningly stuck in its ways. Then all the reviews on Brickset started linking to here. I'm amazed it took me this long to register - maybe because for a long time, I thought EB was german language only.

    What has happened with re-sellers just now has been the bane of concert movie goers for 15 years: eBay ticket scalpers, so I'm not too surprised this happened. 20000 is nothing - some big arena concerts I went to hold almost as much and for some of more popular acts, (Iron Maiden, Rammstein) sold out in a few hours - for one city. The 20000 sets we get is worldwide! And yes, Lego re-sellers and ticket scalpers are the same thing. That's why I stopped watching Brickshow on youtube since they freely admit to buying in big quantities (especially limited polybags) in the hope of making a profit later. But this time it's MUCH WORSE than usual. Usually, people have ample opportunity to buy the Lego sets they want at MSRP. As long as you're not in your dark ages when it's for sale, you shoud be fine, even for sets which were sold for a notoriously short time such as the 8275 bulldozer. This time the window of opportunity was drastically reduced.. BECAUSE of scalpers.

    Here is an interesting article on the subject. It treats Canada vs US but this applies to Europe, too. Retailers say, blame the suppliers (which in our case it would be Lego) http://thechronicleherald.ca/business/90009-why-is-stuff-cheaper-in-us-blame-suppliers-retailers-say

    It doesn't improve my mood. I ordered before you, in that morning at 7:30, with a long history of orders, and still backordered. In which country do you live? EDIT: august 22nd - gotta be europe since it says aug 17 for north america. RE-EDIT: I said north america assuming to include canada, USA and mexico, but just now I found out Mexico is not longer a country you can select. How long has that been the case? I feel sorry for Mexican fans - doesn't Lego have a factory there?

    You ain't missing much. It sucks. The only reason I still have it is that I'm somewhat of a 90s technic completionist.
