lego the hutt Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Tower of Orthanc... if it's real ^ this (pretty sure it is legit at this point) and the Ewok Village. I've been waiting for years for an ewok village. Also the new Jabbas Sailbarge if it ends up looking better than some of the preliminary pictures look. As is I'm leary about that one. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 Finally got around to adding prices to just about every 2nd Wave set that we know about. The retails are converted from the British Sterling Pound over to the US Dollar and based on the prices found by Brickset and The Brick Fan at this year's London Toy Fair. Many may be a few dollars off from the actual retail price we will end up paying here in the US, but they should be fairly close and enough to basically give a rough idea of their eventual cost. There is just way too many to list here, so I'll leave it to anybody curious enough to skim the list for what they are looking for. Seriously, the list of added prices is LONG. Also, a third Series of FRIENDS - "Collectables" has been announced. Oh joy, more cuteness. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 A small update for once. Just found an image confirming the GAMES "Lord of the Rings: Battle for Helm's Deep" set. Looks interesting. No idea of MSRP yet. Maybe around $30-$35? I do need to adjust and organize a little better the totals for many themes across the board, but as you can imagine that will take a rather good sized chunk of time. Plus the values for many 2nd Wave sets are not exact. Just rounded conversions from the British Pound to United States Dollar. Quote
tormentalous Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 First look at an Iron Man minifigure from one of the 2013 sets. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-marvel-super-heroes-iron-man-2013-minifigure-leaked/ Quote
lego the hutt Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 I'm surprised more people aren't looking forward to the ewok village...I'll get all of the LotR sets, but the one set I am most excited for is the ewok village. It has barely been mentioned in this thread. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I know this is super lame but I can't wait for the Jake and the Neverland pirates duplo theme. My kid loves the show and I can't wait to buy him some. Quote

It has barely been mentioned in this thread. Maybe it is because Ewoks are considered the Jar Jar Binks of the original trilogy. lol Adults sure do detest them. Quote
lego the hutt Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Maybe it is because Ewoks are considered the Jar Jar Binks of the original trilogy. lol Adults sure do detest them. I don't know where you got that idea? I always liked the whole rustic tribal aspect of the ewoks in contrast to the technology of the rest of the star wars universe. The endor scenes are some of my favorite. Comparing ewoks to Jar Jar is pure blasphemy. I'm slightly offended! Quote

cvail8 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Are there really going to be like 10 releases from Hobbit AND LOTR out at the same time this summer? Looks like it might be time to pick up the current sets because they are going to have to get retired, amirite? Quote

It has barely been mentioned in this thread. I'm sure there would be more people looking forward to such a thing if it even existed. Besides a little rumor talk for fun, there hasn't been anything confirming or even remotely giving credence to an actual Ewok Village set. It would be neat if it was true, but again if it was. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 I added a variety of links across the list of sets. A quick run through, the rest of the CREATOR sets, a couple TECHNIC sets, GALAXY SQUAD, HERO FACTORY, GAMES, a number of CITY sets, plus some others. Most are images from the recent Toy Fair in London, so no actually box pics or retails for the US. Still, beats nothing at all, eh? Quote

It would be neat if it was true, but again if it was.I read about it on 3 different lego forums from different people ...one of the people who gave the info apparently heard it straight from the mouth of a lego rep (and I feel like they are a pretty promising source), a different person said they saw retailer info. Of course nothing has been officially announced and there is always a chance a set doesn't see the light of day even in the late phases of its production.But then everyone doubted the rumors of palpatines arrest bring real until it showed up in stores in europe...I feel like there is much more info on the ewok village than there ever was on that set.My, fairly educated, guess is hopeful.(I would definitely call it more than a little rumor talk for fun...)

My, fairly educated, guess is hopeful. (I would definitely call it more than a little rumor talk for fun...) I do not know how Lego works like some other companies and a couple explanations could be that their was not enough interest from retailers to go to the production stage, but the most likely answer is that the rights holder would not clear the production. I do not know when these rumors occoured, but if happened between the Lucas/Disney buyout, Disney could have pulled the plug on this set. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Sorry to add to the rumor mill, but Lego set 10240, Red Squadron X-Wing Starfighter is gaining traction. NY Toyfair is coming shortly, we should see a lot more there as well. Quote

My, fairly educated, guess is hopeful. (I would definitely call it more than a little rumor talk for fun...) Hmm, that does give some possibility to getting an Ewok Village. For me, the most 'concrete' was how the hairpiece for the MINIFIGURES Series 9 "Forest Maiden" looks an awful lot like Leia's braided hair from Return of the Jedi. Yours just sounds better! Sorry to add to the rumor mill, but Lego set 10240, Red Squadron X-Wing Starfighter is gaining traction. NY Toyfair is coming shortly, we should see a lot more there as well. Right, the next big event. Forgot about that. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 Added links to the three new Iron Man sets and added retails for each. It will cost $72.97 to buy all three. Not that much for all of them in my opinion. Quote
Studebricker Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 I like the looks of the SW stealth starfigher set. I don't watch the clone wars until it's out on dvd, so I don't know how the ship fits into the storyline, but I like it and the unusual minifigs included with it... Quote

I don't watch the clone wars until it's out on dvd, so I don't know how the ship fits into the storyline, but I like it and the unusual minifigs included with it...I think it's pretty badass myself.Well anyway, I just did one hell of a MAJOR OVERHAUL in updates to the list! I am so not kidding.-Added retails & links for practically every set!-Recalculated all the Totals, separated by Theme and Wave.-Did a massive cleanup of all listings. Separated all the Polybags, 1st Wave, & 2nd Wave sets.-Sorted all sets under each theme, starting with the least expensive down to the most expensive.And the current total of all 2013 sets is....$6,798.91 Quote
redeemed763 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 There are probably a fair amount of people here who spend that much, they just need multiples of those expensive sets and that shoots the price sky high. Quote

Awesome, now they just need to retire the Live Death Star and come out with a new Live Set (Ewok Village, not sure why, but I think that this would be awesome!). Quote

Well you were right, so kudos. All that is left now is to see how the set pans out, for better or worse. Not much to update which is nice for a change of pace but here's a quick rundown. -Added links & fixed retails to the last two Superman sets. -Added to the list three minifigure blister packs. One each for CITY police & firefighters, and one for NINJAGO. Links for first two. -Added link for LEGENDS OF CHIMA "Worriz's Combat Lair". Quote
