It's fan-designed.

Just because it's released by Lego, doesn't make it "real" to me, since Lego designers didn't design it.

Which is unfortunately painfully obvious (not that fans haven't done just as good, if not better, models than Lego themselves...just not this time).

Lego designers actually did re-design it. While the majority of the build is the fan design, they do modify it.

I get what you're saying, but at the same time, I hardly ever keep lego sets exactly as lego designed them. I've also been inspired by fan designs.

shyguy?! boo? paratrooper? Man, bring on the bad guys. That series looks good.

Isn't it sad funny how we continue to check in on stores in which we never find anything? I hate going to Wal-Marts, and I can't remember the last time I found something to buy in one, but I still can't help myself. It's that little "what if" nagging in your head....

I know. I popped into one that had nothing but doc samson and then a lone standard version of absorbing man, who I don't have, but passed on anyway. what if they had something else indeed.

Did lego decide to produce more of these and send them out randomly?

That's really strange.

I can tell you that the Friends advent did not come out in the US, except for direct imports to specific Lego stores like Disneyland. :/

I know I've seen it, because I've held it in my hands before. They may have been at the lego store. I swear I saw it somewhere more local. Cause my lego store is an hour away. I really feel like I saw it twice though.

The wine barrel set will be an exclusive as lego listed it "hard to find". Probably target, maybe toys r us.

I was at toys r us and spotted the hobbit elf gaurd poly bag set. Neat set, but it lacks elf ears which bothered me a bit.

I got Elrond. Gamestops had Elrond since the handheld versions of the game came out back in october. I went to pick up my game, they didn't have it, asked for Elrond, and then when they called me about the game, didn't go back to pick it up. All I wanted was a the figure, and I basically paid 5 bucks for it. He's pretty neat. I might pick up the game sometime when the price drops.

I think the Frodo set is the same as the one at stores. The cooking/kitchen one.

I don't need orcs (or uruk hai) myself. I'm going to go crazy trying to get elves.

I really don't know what I'm going to do about elrond at gamestop, besides get at least one. I'm the glad that 2 of the hobbit sets have at least two elves. I wonder how many mirkwood spider sets I'll be picking up just for the elves.

Oh, here's better scans of that hobbit poster

I've been going crazy over these things lately. Just bought the last set lastnight, soooooo awesome. Just wanted to let you guys know, if anyone is looking to get rid of any Orcs or Uruk-hai let me know. I'm also looking for that exclusive $5 pack that comes with the Uruk-hai and ballista.

Has anyone seen anything on the new Hobbit sets that are to be out later this year besides Bilbo's Hobbit hole?

You realize that ballista exclusive is free and is exclusive to the UK, right? It's being given away with a newspaper there. Well, it was suppose to be, it seems it fell through. It has yet to be announced as a retail polybag set.

A little guy arrived in the mail today. Thanks guys! It's awesome.

Some people are already ahead and don't know it (or why). No need to do a lot of work on this one. Maybe some hints will drop...

Who's ahead?! Is Ichabod Crane? Do I have to cut off the head of a statue? If so...simpsons did it. Wait, simpsons treehouse of horror? Kodos? Ross Perot?! Is it Ross Perot?! Did I win?

I'm pretty confused...

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to hit up TRU and keep my eyes open.

[quoteI'm thinking 2 of the Haunted House sets would have enough parts to make a Haunted House with either taller rooms OR longer hallways.

I also want to get a 2nd Vampyre Castle to make the rooms taller for 'mates. ]

I was thinking about this, you should check out this detailed review.

http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73816

Looking at it, I think you could certainly make the building taller. I don't see you being able to fully combine the 2 sets. Having 2 would give enough parts to make it bigger.

Longer hallways is doable, but it looks a bit tricky. You might be able to straight combine them, but I dont know if the opening closing will be as functional with that much weight.

I also hate to do this, but have to ask. Since each set comes with 4 zombie heads, (well 6 counting the 2 that go with the minifigures) if you end up with 8 of them, are interested in keeping all of them?

..I'd also need the zombie set and more zombies to fill out this house.

Check it O-U-T:

I hate how much I want that.

Also, if I did get it, I'd have to make sure to some how get a mummy, scientist, the monster, creature and a werewolf too.

I'll need to keep an eye out for the mummy.

Be nice to have him and finish off my little monster clan.

I don't know if I should give that away =p

It's she-hulk, the other with hair is emma frost, the rest I do not really remember.

Oh yea. It's certainly inspired by silhouette pop art, which super bad took from as well.

Took me a good while to figure this out. I'm glad the entries are allowed to be anything really. Because I've never been much for making custom figures. However I do love coming up with creative ideas. I could talk a whole lot about it, but really I think it speaks for itself. Here's my official entry

I really feel like hasbro knew there would be carry over from thor and CA, and of course the avengers and spider-man would be big lines too.

I think delaying it was a good idea, rather than it not being picked up and having poor distribution.

The new mold rhino looks great, the old one is the one coming out in a two-pack with spider-man.

Which....makes little sense to me.

Obviously I'll just get the single pack release of the new rhino mold

I have to say, the BB are not as exciting as I had hoped they would be. They're kind of neat, but I think over all, I might end passing on the whole line. At this point it's just kind of hype keeping my interest.

Oh hell yea, Jim Lee Rogue.

It's nice to see proff X fit in his chair too.

I am surprised Dr.Strange is not in his red and black costume.

She-Hulk looks nice in purple.....and another brown wolverine

2 rhino figures?! What the hell is this?! Different molds too. That's....kind of amazing really.
