Re: Lego Lord Of the Rings Sets (epic win)

I do wonder if The LEGO Groups target demographic (Ages 5-12) would be interested in LOTR or the Hobbit. The Hobbit and especially Lord of the Rings would be quiet a bit above most of that age groups reading level. Heck, I am in Junior High, and when we were assigned to read The Hobbit, I was one of the only kids who liked the book (And probably one of the few who understood it). Not to mention that most of the movies would be to long to keep there attention.

What I am saying is that it is weird that the Lego Group is making sets based on something their target audience might not find interest in. (Though it would be kind of justified if they made these similar to the Modular Builds, in that they are more complex builds geared towards AFOL's.)

Also, here's a minigure list for the sets:

9469 Gandalf Arrives: Frodo and Gandalf

9470 Shelob Attacks: Frodo, Sam and Smeagol (Well...Gollum, not our admin. mini/tongue)

9471 Uruk-Hai Army: Eomer, Rohan soldier and 4 Uruk-Hai

9472 Attack on Weathertop: Frodo, Merry, Aragorn and two Ringwaiths/Nazgul (Both on horses!)

9473 The Mines of Moria: Pippin, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, Cave troll, Two Moria orcs. (Prelim pics showed it with two dwarf skeletons, but I don't know if the final has them or not.)

9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep:Gimli, King Theoden, Haldir, Aragorn and 4 Uruk-Hai

9476 The Orc Forge:5 Orcs  (Some may be Uruk-Hai.)

We should know a lot more, and have a lot more pictures, once the New York Toy fair opens Feb 11th.

Re: Lego Lord Of the Rings Sets (epic win)

They might to some degree, though it's only the back legs which are sort of positioned like these: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=40380c01pb04
At least the horse's legs can now rear and kick back, which will help greatly with running. mini/smile

Look what I found!
This is the first offical pic of the baddies.
Gollum may be a pain to animate, but I'm sure I'll find a way.
And the pic of the Fellowship reveals some really nice printing.
