tigereyes5811 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 How Big will he be? He's pretty Huge in the Movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Knowing TLG, they'd never give us anything as good as a bridge of Kazad-Dum, and if they did, it would probably be as dissapointing as the eagle from the Black Gate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotahorn Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think we're approaching this wrong. Don't think maxifigure. Think shelob. I think they could pull that off. Throw in a lighted brick and waa-laa you have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEZ96 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 5-6 inch brick built Balrog, there's so much potential. A brick built Tree Beard would also be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think YOu guys are approaching it from the wrong angle, because although a brickbuilt version may be more accurate, it inherently has no real exclusive pieces, and therefore has no real value outside of the lightbrick, headpiece, and wings. It the Bridge of Kazad-Dum were a $100 set, a custom molded Balrog might go for $30. However, Lego would have to give it poseable legs and cut the Goblin King, Hulk, and Rancor crap, and do it right.

Grolim Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 If they do, it would have to be bigger than the Cave Troll and Goblin King which have set the "size scale" for the theme. Balrog is a lot bigger, so can't conceivably be a Maxi-fig without being weird in my opinion. Has to be brick built or some kind of new "Mega-figure" mold. Would love to see a Bridge of Kazud-Dum for around $100 with a big brick Balrog at one end and Gandalf minifig in the middle of the narrow bridge.

tigereyes5811 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I agree with you guys. It has to be a Maxi build of some sort due to the fact he is so BIG. Would LOVE to see how LEGO builders would build him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed763 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 There are animals from lego that are pretty big, like t rexes and dragons, why couldnt the balrog fall into that size camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigereyes5811 Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think he's much bigger then that. I believe he's about twice the size of T-Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think he's much bigger then that. I believe he's about twice the size of T-Rex Balrogs are only 25 feet tall, but the fire and wings make them appear larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed763 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Even if he were twice that tall, TLG would only make him 5-6" tall, the dragon from HP was supposed to be 50' tall according to the book. Tolkien mentioned in his works that a balrog was about twice as tall as an elf or 14' tall, so the movie version is pretty hyped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I hope they make him brick built and huge, just like the movie. My question is how are they going to make his fire whip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboy02 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I hope they make him brick built and huge, just like the movie. My question is how are they going to make his fire whip? I'm pretty sure he will be brick built. And there're probably going to have to make a new piece for his fire whip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcarin Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think we can Dream on molded Balrog... as for Brick built... expect it (if he comes) to be as large as T-Rex MAX... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
