Marty McFly

Just noticed on LEGO.com the instructions for the LOTR sets are listed under "LofTR/Hobbit". So clearly some Hobbit sets will be on the way soon, maybe even in time for the movie's release in December! EDIT: From the back page of one of the Helm's Deep manuals:

Picked this up yesterday. Nice build, finished product is actually a little bigger than I was expecting which is a bonus. And the instructions and poster came in their own bag - hooray! Only disappointment was the set only having two cannons. However, a quick Bricklink search and $8 has that issue sorted!

I love the idea but doubt my wallet would cope!

Thanks for a great review. Can't wait for this and the other Monster Fighters sets - won't be out here in Australia until August though. At least my wallet will get a chance to recover after LOTR first!

Can't believe Australia is getting them in June! Usually we're last for everything... :(

Target seem to have 20% off LEGO once a month. I imported my set from Amazon UK, with shipping it was about $80-90 I think.

Sounds about right. I've already preordered my sets from shopforme.com.au and they are shipping mid-June.

Well Pirates 5 is on the cards, they're working on a script apparently. So I can see LEGO resurrecting the theme when that movie comes out. But until them, probably no new sets.

It's a nice little set - I picked it up at full price though ($50 in Australia) which was probably a mistake as the finished model is kind of small. Great minifigs - Iron Man's flip-up mask is awesome, as is Loki's headpiece (looked ridiculous in the film and is even funnier replicated in Lego!).

Not sure about the Spidey minifig. Doc Ock looks great though. Can't wait to see what the model looks like - there are lots of vehicles already in the Super Heroes range so I'm hoping for Doc Ock's lab or something similar.

Thanks for the review - I'm not usually keen on 'flying' models as they don't always display well, but this set looks like an exception.
