There as been pictures of the new LEGO Lord of the Rings set popping all over the internet! Here are the new sets:
This set was an expected one. I am glad TLG (The LEGO Group) is going to make a small set for we can get our little greedy hands on a ever-so awesome Saruman. However, I believe I speak for everyone when I say that I am disappointed with Saruman’s staff. But hey, at $12.99 we get two awesome figs and an eye of Sauron.
I think TLG did a great job on this set. We get some new torsos and an awesome Elrond fig. Plus, I am happy to see lots of gold pieces. And there’s even more! When I looked at this set my eyes went right to those leaves pieces. They are multi-colored and they will make great pieces for a fall scene moc. At only $29.99, I’m not letting this great set get out of my sight!
This set is probably my favorite one of the bunch. We get a new Aragorn Gondor torso that I will try to get many of. I wonder does this new Gondor torso mean that there are more Gondor torsos to come? Then we have Gandalf who looks strangely like Saruman. Next we have the scary looking Mouth of Sauron and those two Orcs. Not much to say on the three. But then we have that ugly looking eagle. Man is that a horrible mold. That is probably the only letdown on this set. Ass for the gate itself, I think it’s pretty good. However, for mocing I don’t see anyone needing that many black pieces. At $59.99, I think most of us will get this set.
I have mixed feelings about this set. As a LEGO Pirate fan, I’m screaming: A Ship! A Ship! It’s not to bad as a set in all it’s decent glory. We get a new Legolas Greenleaf, which is a plus. We get a mini-fig of Peter Jackson which is weird. And we get those ghost guys (okay, I get it, their dead but not ghost). I am pretty neutral on them. But as an Avalonian in Eurobrick’s Guilds of Historica, the dead guys’ sand green helmet should be useful. As for the ship itself, I’ll let you guys do the C&C. This set will be $99.99 making it the expensive guy of the bunch.
