Lego The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit

Good news is that both my eight and nine year old daughters love Legos. Better news is that they love the Hobbit. Bad news is Legos are so damn expensive in comparison to other toys.

Slowly adding to my Lego sets. I was in Virginia over Christmas and got a Bag End set at Walmart for $35 clearance

Were these just on clearance? I guess i just have to be patient and wait until the sets go on sale.

great news for me, bad news for Lego where they are being more "commercial"

I knew Saruman & Sauron were just a front for the true Lord of The Rings.

Priceless! Made me smile on a tough Friday.

Back again with some awesome Lego news:

LEGO: The Hobbit - The Lonely Mountain


The fiery and gold-hoarding dragon of The Hobbit fame will already be front and center at this year’s Comic-Con.
On Saturday, Warner Bros will be previewing in Hall H The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, in which the dragon plays a central role. Smaug is also getting the giant six-foot-plus Lego display treatment, which will be hunkered down on the San Diego Convention Center floor.

And Heat Vision can now tell you that Lego will also be unveiling at Comic-Con one of its upcoming Hobbit licensed sets featuring Smaug as its focus, marking the first time the dragon has gotten the official Lego toy treatment.
Lego: The Hobbit - The Lonely Mountain is a 866-piece set that comes with five mini-figures — Bilbo Baggins, Balin the Dwarf, Dwalin the Dwarf, Ori the Dwarf and Gloin the Dwarf.

And then there is Smaug, who comes with translucent fiery breath, scales, giant wings, sharp claws, spiky tail and poseable joints.
The Lair of Smaug will showcase a secret door, an Arkenstone-encrusted throne, golden nuggets, treasures, assorted mining tools, conveyor belt, chain pulley to raise and lower bucket, furnace with a light brick, melting pot and torches with translucent flames.
The set is to due to hit stores this fall and retail for $129.99. Have fun!



(HD pictures to come tomorrow)

I'll take it! Smaug looks awesome!

Smaug almost looks like a Duplo figure, but so what. This set rocks!

This is one of the best Lego Hobbit sets made.
