Oh my, am I ever getting roped into this stuff. ::) Lego sure knows what people want. Cheap? No, but always on sale it seems, and they just know what to do.
John C:
Picked up a couple of the DCU sets at TRU ther other day. Found the Superman/LL set and the Batman/Catwoman one. I'll be giving them to my six year old for Christmas. He'll be happy to finally have some Batman Lego sets to play with.
Jesse James:
So I was watching The Two Towers tonight on Starz...
Oh my, the endless Lego possibilities with this franchise.
They already pictured a set of Uruk Hai, but I was just thinking how cool all the other things could possibly be... What are you anxious to see Lego do?
Right off the top of my head, the top one I want to see...
The Balrog. This could be insanely cool, especially if they go nuts with the size of it, but I really would love seeing what Lego can accomplish here. Other biggies come to mind too, but what are the things you're most excited to see?
This line just has me drooling.
efranks:
I want a 10,000 piece UCS Minas Tirith set.
Okay, realistically, I want a really well done Bag End, Rivendell and a town set of Bree, including the Prancing Pony. Isengard is must, but the MOC versions that are out there are so impressive Lego will have to step the game up. Of course, if they do Isengard, they have to do Ents as well.
We'll need plenty of army building sets with Uruk-hai and the Ringwraiths with their mounts. We'll need some Elf archers and plenty of men with swords...and horses. Can't forget Rohan.
For the Hobbit we'll need a big Smaug set among others. Honestly, I need to read the Hobbit again because I'm drawing a blank on what else would be cool to see from that movie. But Bag End and Rivendell work here as well.
E...
Jesse James:
Smaug, Ents... That type of stuff is a must. Actually, besides the Balrog, Ents were my 2nd vote... I want Ent figures, but I'd prefer them being all bricks with hinged limbs and stuff so they're a buildable figure basically. Some customization/diversity could be had from that.
Smaug, I just saw someone did like a head of him laying on gold coins and bricks, and it's amazing looking. Again, I could totally see Smaug done from just bricks, and be a kit unto himself. Same with the Balrog.
I believe from what I recall of the early set pics, they are doing an Uruk Hai/Rohan army building set, and I saw a set from the Moria tomb with a Troll, Goblins and the Fellowship...
Don't recall a Gondor set, but who the hell isn't going to jump on a set of Gondorian Rangers? Come on!
One set I recall as well was Weathertop, which looked like a pretty good wraith army builder set of sorts, with a good brick selection.
Oh... And a Sauron Figure from the prologue... Oh yes.
From The Hobbit I'd want elf and human army builder sets for sure... The armies don't show up till the end of course, but there's potential. Some spiders would be dandy too. There's great potential for basically all the books/films here. Lego has a gold mine IMO. There's a pretty loyal fanbase and Legos were just made for this and just never had the shot till now.
