Wow, you guys are being way too hard on the Gollum figure.
I think it's a great figure and all that TLC could have done with it.

Some people are just hard to satisfy.. Closed Eyes Frown

I like it, i just wish they could have done more with it, Gollum is such an interesting little character and they could have done a little more.

That's funny 'cos others actually do think it to be amazing, and I'll gladly agree with them.

As I said before, some people are just hard to satisfy...

Empy, I mean this in the most polite way, but you seem to pass on every theme. Just because you're not into lego much doesn't mean you need to say that you don't like every theme.

Now from the point of view of people who enjoy legos I'm really looking forward to this theme.

Actually I still have an interest, it's just what LEGO has been making is lacking any interest. Look at this theme, then look at Pirates of the Caribbean, then PoP, then Harry Potter, then Indiana Jones... look familiar?

Yes - they're all licensed themes with flesh minifigures of which I have the feeling you might despise.
What else makes it seem familiar to you?
The increasing amounts of detail, which are, by the way, amazingly done?

Another point to mention is that the LOTR sets are actually good if not great,
whereas PoP, POTC, etc. were mostly just about the figures, seem-fully.

What did you expect - spaceships flying around to make the themes "differ a bit more"?

They all are usually rustic buildings with bland colors such as black, grey, tan, etc. They all seem to lack independence in design from one another. Maybe make a licensed theme that isn't as adventuresome... like Toy Story, which had a lot of design independence.

by **JackDawson1010** on February 19th 2012, 6:57 am

One thing that I really hope this theme doesn't get-

A video game.

The lego video games are always boring and take half the fun out of the sets.

Side note- as Octan's link isn't working, here's another posting some images of LOTR, SW and Monster Hunters.

MOO

by Henri da Flipper on February 19th 2012, 7:23 am

It is getting a videogame... that was how we found out about the theme, dude...

I reckon Gandalf, should have taller legs, like Woody.

You must be kidding. I reckon you're not The Joker.
Gandalf is even smaller than Aragorn, Legolas, Boromir and so on... (even if just a bit)

No single regular figure needs those Toy Story legs.
Leave that to Woody and co, but it shouldn't be used on anything else unless it actually makes sense.
To me, those legs look terrible on a figure it's not really intended for. It's just awkward, you know.
Dunno where you're basing this off anyways.

@JackDawson: Yes, we are getting a videogame. The Hobbit gets one, and LOTR probably will, as well.
If the LEGO videogames are boring to you, then go play another game but do not deem it as
a general "fact".

Oops, sorry, I'm not that much of a LoTR fan, I was reading a book about the movies and it made him look tall. Anyway, those sets look amazing!

by Bossky on March 7th 2012, 10:50 am

Ah, I don't think I'll be collecting this line. The sets look pretty good though.

by **Octan** on March 8th 2012, 10:33 am

I may get one or two sets, mostly for the parts. I really like the sets with the Hobbits, so I am going to 100% pick those up.

by General Magma on March 11th 2012, 11:29 am

And I've got my eye on how this is not a chatbox...

To add to it - I'm just getting all of them.
The only things we can expect from the summer wave is HD images of the boxes, but other than that we could just set ourselves to 'The Hobbit' already.

I'm not sure what TLC has got in mind,
but I wonder whether they'll toss in some LOTR sets as well or just decide
to keep it at 'The Hobbit' for the winter wave.
At the very least, LOTR should return next year, presumably with
Gondorians and such... One or two battlepacks IS a possibility for the winter if they do wish to keep a few spots for LOTR as well.

It can be called both, The Lego Company, the company working manly on LEGO products, and TLG, The Lego Group, that is running of all the brands with the LEGO name on them.

TLC has too many meanings, so I've always used TLG.
