Nittany Nuva Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I haven't seen a topic for this, but sorry if there is one.Greatest thing ever.Nothing can express my joy at the news that LEGO has acquired the LOTR and Hobbit licenses. I was already super-excited and giddy about the new Hobbit trailer being revealed soon, and this has just broken the needle on my nerd joy gauge. Next year will be absolutely glorious.So what kind of sets do you guys expect there will be? One scene from The Hobbit that seems pretty likely to me is Bilbo's encounter with the trolls, since we already have troll molds. We have the "elf hair" mold already too, so Rivendell has a good chance of making an appearance. What do you think? 7. Putting all five Piraka in one tank seems like a dangerous idea. What if they start killing each other? 7) Who cares? They're creeps anyway. -GregF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nittany Nuva Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) ACE!! I wonder how they'll do the Ring...The Ring is actually shown in the teaser I linked above. It's the diameter of a minifig's hand, so it can't be worn, but that's okay because it shouldn't be anyway. Also, the large size doesn't bother me because it can change sizes.I seriously haven't been this excited about a toy since I was a kid. A great feeling!Edit: Looking again, the ring seems to have a standard peg size inner diameter. Maybe it could fit over half a minifig's hand? Edited December 16, 2011 by Nittany Nuva 7.

Sumiki Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I am not a huge LotR fan - this is partially attributed to an incident involving The Hobbit, my fourth-grade teacher, and a beanbag.

Nittany Nuva Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Another interesting tidbit from the press release that I did not notice until now:Information about the sets and collectible minifigures from both collections will be unveiled at a later date at TheLordoftheRings.LEGO.com.I wonder, is this just a general reference to the minifigs contained in the sets, or are we going to see LOTR-themed Collectible Minifigures? Or is it going to be something like the Ninjago individual minifig packages? Edited December 16, 2011 by Nittany Nuva 7. Putting all five Piraka in one tank seems like a dangerous idea.

Toa of Nerds Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 At last! I think Lego should have done this years ago. I really want to see Helm's Deep and Aragorn's epic undead army. Those minifigs should be sweet. Also: Rivendell, a troll catapult, Bilbo's hobbit hole, the Prancing Pony, and Bilbo's epic fight with the dragon at the end of the hobbit. Seriously Lego, you hit a grand slam with this deal.-don't touch my pocket protector Three great comedies at one low, low price....NOTHING!

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 LOTR and Hobbit Lego sets. For some reason, this doesn't surprise me. There have been a lot of popular themes coming out lately (PotC, DC superheroes and villains, etc.), so LOTR and Hobbit sets make sense to me. I would really like to see a Mordor set come to be. That would be cool. http://www.bzpower.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.png Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

King Joe Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Oh Lego, First you get the rights for Marvel Superhero sets, make the awesome Hero Factory sets, and now this.Lego, I love you.I'm personally looking forward to all the new accessories. The ring will be epic, and I can't wait to see the Shards of Narsil and the sword reforged.Oh, and a special Sauron minifig or figure. That has epic written all over it.

GSR Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hah! I've got to admit I'm a little surprised they never did this back during the LOTR films, but I'm not complaining now.

Zorrakh Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I'm really happy that they're doing this now, but I wish they would have done it when the movies came out. They might be doing it now because of the new Hobbit movie coming out. Either way, I bet the sets are going to be pretty cool. All I ask is for them to make a Sauron set made out of HF parts. That would be a really awesome set. Or, at least, it would have really awesome parts (e.g. helmet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, it saves him some money. :PI also don't see why he couldn't go through with it anyway.

Evex_Wolfwing Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Pray to whatever deities you belive in that they will be serious about this... I may not be a huge fan of LoTR, but if they put in childish humor, I will be upset.Other than that, we need more picture before I make an opinion. Gotta say, the homepage is giving off a kinda creepy vibe with the lighting... They were called Tenno. Warriors of blade and gun: masters of the Warframe armor. Those that survived the old war were left drifting among the ruins. Now they are needed once more. The Grineer, with their vast armies, are spreading throughout the solar system. A call echoes across the stars summoning the Tenno to an ancient place. They summon you. Allow the Lotus to guide you. She has rescued you from your cryostasis chamber and given you a chance to survive. The Grineer will find you; you must be prepared. The Lotus will teach you the ways of the Warframes and the secrets to unlocking their powers. Come Tenno, you must join the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they make the sets good, and choose the best scenes.
