The TRU on Dodge St in Omaha had a good amount of poly bags but no other Hobbit sets :( I picked one up just in case the ones I have on order get cancelled.

You hear that? That's the sound of all of us running out to our local TRUs.

Cool thanks! You mind telling the region of the country you're in?

Calling your wife "wide" is also another good way to die ;P

Getting nervous. My toys r us status is showing as "items in stock" but my Paypal status is still showing as pending. Hmmm

Yes in the Hobbit post pinned at the top of this page.

Theyre already at the retail stores?

That hasn't stopped Peter Jackson :P I'm really happy to see this set even without the hair/ears.

Have there been any TRU or Walmart sightings? They still don't have anything on their webpages and now I'm not even seeing any on KMarts site.

I've been keeping an eye out here in Omaha and haven't seen a single set :( I'm chomping at the bit!

Agreed.

Yeah I agree. I'm just not convinced that the first movie won't end with appendix A material or something entirely out of the blue. Who knows

Yup I'm well aware of the scroll images. While it is telling, I guess I don't consider Torn speculation to be the gospel. YMMV.

I'll echo everyone else here. Great MOC. I really like how you did the horse's pack. Someone refresh my memory as its been a while since I've read the books, but was that supposed to be Bill the pony in the movie?

This makes me happy inside.

Out of curiousity, what makes you say that? Ive always been a fan of the classic swords, but I hope they don't use these in the LOTR sets. I think the rounded ends would look goofy compared to the pointy blades they have now.

I too am new here, so I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, but there's a lot of speculation in this thread being thrown around as fact. We don't KNOW exactly where the breaks in the movies will be. The change to the scroll image does not automatically mean that there has been a change to the ending of the first film. Is it likely? Probably. But again nothing has been confirmed. If I'm wrong, please point me in the direction of the proof because I'm a hobbit/lotr nut and want to keep up with the latest news!

Nice! I've had girlfriends who were like that about jewelry too.

Lol Oddly enough, no I'm not a Super Heroes theme fan, although I've picked a couple up for my 5 year old. I used to own a business called D/Rocks and almost all of the junk mail I received came addressed to "Dr. Ocks". It became a joke among my employees that just stuck :) Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Hello Lego fans. Looking forward to contributing to a forum I've followed for a long time. Been out out of my dark ages for about 2 years now and don't plan on going back!
