This week’s set is 9473 - Mines of Moria.
Another set from the 2012 run of Lord of the Rings sets. This set might have been more properly named The Chamber of Mazarbul as it is focused on the battle between the company of the Ring and the orcs of Moria that takes place around Balin's tomb. This set includes four of the nine heroes, two Moria orcs, and the cave troll. It also includes lots of pieces of the chamber, many weapons, and a few action features.

This week’s set is 9472 - Attack on Weathertop.
Another set from the first wave of Lord of the Rings sets, this one includes two Nazgul, Strider, Merry, and Frodo (with a different torso than in the Gandalf Arrives set) bearing the Ring. The hill is built up of bricks and opens up to reveal a chamber. Geeky detail - the stand inside that chamber once held a Palantir back in the days when this wasn't just a ruin and instead was the fortress of Amon Súl.
In the Lands of Rowia, battles have been fought and won, but Sir Valiant finds that the Cost of Victory can be high indeed. Check out this and Sir Valiant's other work in his Flickr stream and then discuss it in our forum.
I usually try not to feature the same builders so close together, but when I saw this this morning I just had to. I think we can crown the king and queen of NPU based on Sean And Steph Mayo (aka Siercon and Coral) and their Sun Salamander. This is just one of their MOCs for the Iron Builder competition based on the rounded 1x2 slope in yellow. Check out this and all of their work in their Flickr stream and then discuss it in our forum.
Dave Ware designed this mosaic of Sam Gamgee. Attendees of the recent Calgary Expo 2014 put together 6x6 squares, which were then assembled into the whole mosaic. It was even signed by Sean Astin, Sam himself, who was at the Expo. Check out all of Dave's work on his site BrickWares.com or in his Flickr stream, and then discuss it in our forum.

This week’s set is 9469 - Gandalf arrives.
Gandalf arrives was one of the first sets to include the new articulated horse. It also included the Gandalf and Frodo figs, a small cart, some fireworks for the Long-Expected Party, and a carrot, just in case Gandalf got a little peckish.

Lord Tarris has been working for a long time on an amazing Cathedral. It's taking so long because, in addition to being a huge project, he's adding all kinds of careful details. He's recently made this cupola that goes on top of his Baptiserium. You can see the construction technique via WIP and alternate views, and discuss the MOC in our forum. All of Lord_Tarris' work can be seen in his Flickr stream.
