Does the new AT-AT have an empty interior? Didn't see any decoration. Not one single chair.

I take my hat off to you, sir. This is one of the best micro mocs I've ever seen.

Very very nice! I love the architecture. Very neat. Parabéns! :)

In my opinion, the new bridge is much more proportional to the rest of the ship. I believe TLG tried to put the bridge more in scale. An effort that worked, even though this new design has probably eliminated a classic space for minifigs playability and interaction.

That's some deep hood discussion. If I understood correctly, greenalfonzo is just pointing out that hooded elf minifigs could have been a smart move Lego made in order to lower a bit the production costs and that most of the elves in the film do not use their hoods on when fighting, since it would obviously compromise not only their bow skills but also their peripheral sight. At the other hand, perhaps some elves are just too shy to take the hoods off.

Agreed. I have the same feeling towards this matter. Although I'm not sure how unpopular this line is figuring out to be with younglings.

Very nice dune movement. The sail barge and sarlacc are just perfect. Great job!!!

Come on, lets's not be naive. TLG does business, not favors. If there's a demand, they will dive in. If there is not, they won't launch or create something just in order to please you. Besides, everyone has the right to be disappointed with the choices TLG make. And also to stop buying their sets, if that's the case. You shouldn't judge them.

That is not logical at all. First of all, I could have a 10k dollar lego collection. Let's suppose I lost my job. My new one pays me considerably less. My budget now is very restricted and I cant' afford what I could in the past. Therefore, the value of my collection means nothing at all. Secondly, perhaps the person is simply not willing so spend so much money in LOTR collection. Or at lego at all. He may have other interests. Maybe he can't save the money for so long because his money is somehow compromised in the future. Your point is not logical. It's just your opinion based on assumptions you've created in your head.

The AT-AT shown at the preliminary picture is almost identical as the last one. The legs seem to have the same external structure, the same happening with the body. And also the same height. That's very very strange. That model does not have 1138 pieces at all. Hopefully, it's just a preliminary picture of the set in a very initial design.

The list indicates 1138 pieces for the AT-AT. That set has more pieces than every other AT-AT made by Lego. The first one (4483) has 1052 pieces, the motorized (10178) has 1121 pieces and the last downsized one (8129), 782 pieces. Therefore, I don't believe it will be downsized like the last one.

It's crappy for you. Remember that not everyone shares your opinion. Therefore, let's be civilized and respectful and stop telling people what to do or how to think.

When will the lego movie be launched? By the way, has anyone here tried one of lego official communication channels in order to find out some news regarding this matter? If there is not a third wave of LoTR coming, I assume there would be no problem saying so. After all, Lego respect it's costumers. Telling us the truth, when there is nothing to hide (commercially speaking), is always a wise choice.

That's my dream, for sure.

You don't need to be rude just because you disagree with something. Calling people names and swearing is just negative criticism. By the way, I do think wesker idea is nice.

Is there any secure information regarding the LOTR sales? A lot of people are stating that this line is not selling well. How do we know that?

I believe the Helm's Deep set most people here initially idealized didn't fit the 120 dollar budget, too. That didn't stop Lego designing an awesome set that not only is affordable to children, but also appealing to AFOL's. A 300 dollars Minas Tirith set? I've never considered that even in my deepest dreams (ok, maybe once ) . Nonetheless, a 120-200 price range set always seemed a logical business choice to me. That would allow kids and Afol's alike to get a good looking and affordable set with some nice play features. The Cuusoo projects have already showed us that this is possible. Even Lego with Helm's Deep did that. Therefore, I think the "kid's argument" should not be invalidated at all, even tough it doesn't prove anything.

In my opinion, the LOTR set list we have so far doesn't quite fit as a final list. It just doesn't make sense having a LOTR line that excludes the most iconic and biggest battle from the movies (siege at Minas Tirith). And it is a castle! Kids love castles! Again, a grand finale with Orthanc? Don't you feel this is wrong? I love this set. Nonetheless, I would much rather have a Minas Tirith equivalent instead. I'm pretty sure most of us would do. And I think Lego knows that.

But nobody affirmed or confirmed that LOTR will necessarily stop. For now, we have a lot of rumors and speculations but only a few concrete facts, like the lack of LOTR propaganda in the Hobbit line. In my opinion, LOTR will go on. That's pure speculation, of course. Just like the other opinions.

Regarding the elves, I also agree that a new helmet mold would be a great addition, since it would also allow MF to use quivers. The problem with hair and pointed ears molds is that the elf can't turn it's head left or right. Therefore, it's hard to make poses shooting arrows. Besides, minifigures with hair mold can't fit quivers. A big problem for elf archers. Haldir here s always shooting arrows with one arm. That's a bit annoying.

Lol. That was most unexpected. That's nice. Unfortunately, I only have shelves to display my models. By the way, I'm glad to see it displayed next to DS, because I'm planning to build mine and I was wondering how large it would become. Now I can imagine the trouble I'll have.

Good evening to all! After finishing the build of my Tower of Orthanc, I immediately began having trouble finding a proper place to display it. It's just too high for my room's regular shelves. Well, yesterday I was sitting at my living room, watching some TV when I realized this: If my wife can have a giant celtic harp displayed in the middle of our living room, I'm sure she won't bother if I start displaying my legos there too. Let's start with the Tower of Orthanc! I even placed a small plant near the Tower to get that Fangorn Forest look. I would like to hear from you what solutions you've found for displaying such an enormous and gracious beast.

After seeing more closely the image of Boba with Sarlaac, it seems to me that his arms aren't printed afterall.

Congratulations! It´s very very nice, indeed. Did you, by any chance, manage to build the wall on the right side? The photo you provided shows a wall with lots of textures. It would be great to see that part on your lovely moc. cheers!

1) AT-AT UCS 2) Slave-One UCS Bring it on!
