Seifer Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Great pics! But nothing spectacular there among the sets... Quote
Snarkie Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 79012 seems like a great set to part out. Looking forward to this new wave Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I'll probably only get Dol Guldur Battle for my personal collection. Quote
Bernard74 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I like them. Will definitely buy one or two Mirkwood Elves sets because my Helm's Deep needs some more defenders. Quote
chinothegeeko Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for sharing! Some good looking figs in there. Sets are garbage though Quote
Alfiepops Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Thankfully no saturation of dwarfs. As usual I'll wait until these sets are discounted. Apart from the minifigs what else is really noteworthy to get excited about? Quote

MartinP Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Thanks for sharing! Some good looking figs in there. Sets are garbage though I agree. There is not much to the set other than the minifigures. Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 They look pretty good! Dol Guldur backdrops are a bit samey though. Pros: Elves, Beorn, Radagast, Brown Warg, Azog, Orcs (shoulder armour!), Thranduil Cons: Same looking sets, lack of head pieces (Orcs, elves) Necromancer Lego making us wait until right at the end for Galadriel and Sauron it seems.....

naf Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 At this point Lego should really just sell the minifigures separately if they aren't going to put the effort into making a decent set. So, we get a rather uninspired laketown chase, plus 3 walls this wave. Figures are awesome as usual, but they really dropped the ball on set design. Those poor unfortunates who paid top dollar for the Comic-Con Azog figure.... Quote

Fcbarcelona101 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Was my thought also... especially the last part lol They really had to see it coming, Azog HAD to be in this wave of sets Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Those poor unfortunates who paid top dollar for the Comic-Con Azog figure.... At first they were like Then they were like And now they are just Quote
Alcarin Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 They really had to see it coming, Azog HAD to be in this wave of sets Yeah but it might very well be different color... which would ofcourse still kill the value of the comic-con just not completely... Sadly the biggest let-down of the wave is what my biggest hopes was... armored elves with helmets and new molded shields..... The most positive surprise I had was the shoulders for the Orcs... I like them and want them in MASS Sadly I will have to buy extra Elf hairpieces IF I decide to keep the Elves because I just CANNOT stand those LEGO hoods ... too big and fugly.... The biggest WTF moment is obviously (to me) the Uruk-hai swords in the hands of Orcs... (The scimitar sucks overall also ) I mean seriously LEGO??? what the hell... atleast give the Orcs Gladius while still incorrect it would look way better than either of the 2 options you took!!!!

Whilst some form of Azog was a certainty, I am surprised it is identical. Still, I am happy to get the figure regardless. I wish Lego would give us the option of hood/hairpiece for the elves, or bald/hairpeace for the orcs. The orcs with no ears look funny. Quote
Blackjack Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Nothing spectacular, but they make a great battle scene when combined. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 They really had to see it coming, Azog HAD to be in this wave of sets does anyone think lego will release the other 4 comicon minifigs? With azoq and the clone lieutenant being exclusive to an event then released more generally. Quote
JoshTX Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 The sets are a little bland, but I'm just glad we're getting an Azog at all. Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Meh. All I have to say. Unfortunately, the Mirkwood Elves set and the Dol Guldur Battle remind me all to much of this guy: But who am I kidding, I'll probably end up picking up most of them lol... Quote
JoshTX Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 The dude charging hard up the stairs as the boiling hot lava pours down is truly bout it. I'd give him a high-five if he survived that. 1 Quote
naf Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 The dude charging hard up the stairs as the boiling hot lava pours down is truly bout it. I'd give him a high-five if he survived that. He and his brothers in arms also appear to be storming that wall pantless. Too much ale, perhaps? Quote
chopstick Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I love the new orcs! Is it just me or does it look like the orc's shade of skin color slightly different? The new orcs here are gundabad orcs vs. mordor orcs that we have seen in previous sets. Quote
naf Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Wonder if and when they are going to have Smaug in a set. I'm kind of surprised he isn't present in this wave, seeing as he's in the subtitle of the movie and all. Quote
