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.....

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....  :rofl:

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

 

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 :D

 

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 :P)  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!!!!

Agree on both counts. 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.

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.

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...

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?

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.

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.
