I have to say that I love most of the sets. Riddles - Nice brick built rock and 2 great figs. I like gollum's new expression. The parts are useful. Mirkwood Spiders - The new leaves, webs, and mushrooms are sweet. The elves are awesome as are the weapons included in this set. the build is meh... War...

I really like the new designs. I do agree that they look much more realistic than the classic designs. For now I will only arm leaders and new armies with these. It will be a long time before I aquire enough of them to arm my classic armies. If anyone takes some comparison photos with their classic ...

As I posted in the Bag End set thread... I will find uses for all of the new hair and beard styles that will be coming out in the Hobbit sets. The variety for all 13 dwarves is going to be stunning. The thing I find most useful is the new torsos! Even though we now have gotten some peasant torsos to...

I think this is an incredible set. It looks more like an AFOL MOC than an actual LEGO release. The new parts like the round plate with the hole in the middle and the new pretzel are very welcome. It also comes with a wealth of food pieces. I will also find uses for all of the new hair and beard styl...

Thanks Ben! One of these days I'm gonna have to photograph my layout for all to see. It should be complete by our christmas show so that is my target for photos. Thanks to everyone for sharing their wonderful builds. I just wish I got to meet more people. I walked around mostly in the evenings and f...

Well... It will be certainly great to meet you Rogue. Are you displaying? Are you going to be at the collaborative table or elsewhere? I will be at both the collaborative table and a monstrosity of a castle layout based on the Crownies. Please make sure to introduce yourself.

10 days until setup begins! I have so much to finish working on!

I bought 2 and did keep one MISB. However, I am unlikely to sell it. I just keep aquiring more LEGO at this point. Maybe my LEGO will be a retirement fund one day. This set was a joy to build and play chess with. However, I did take it apart because it gathered so much dust... Hard to believe it was...

I agree. This set is not just thrown together at the last minute to get rid of overruns of minifigs. That base as ugly as it is had to be prepared beforehand. This is a planned release and an amazingly well kept secret as well. I wouldn't be surprised with little Kingdoms releases from time to time ...

I agree about the lack of interesting figs. But I look at this set for what it is... This is just a fantastic army builder! I didn't really plan on making my Kingdoms factions any larger but I cannot resist this. The baseplate is worth $5 and with my Brickworld 30% discount next month this set is ge...

Those prices are marked up by Toys R Us. Just wait until the prices come out on LEGO.com before we get all panicky.

That is the one David, I hope it compliments everyone's fine work. Now I just have to find transport room. My castle layout has grown to 24 feet long... :twitch: This year it should be fully rebuilt and complete. Next year I can move onto a new project. Do you have a lot of towers showing up yet? I ...

Target and $39.95 USD is the word on the Orc Forge. I will buy one... but at that price and only 4 figs, I can do without multiples. The printed armor is incredible and I like the olive cheese slopes. The rest of the parts are useful but easily obtained so I can't justify the price for this set. I m...

Hey David, I also got an e-mail from Brickworld about this years theme being towers. I can bring my skeleton tower to put into the collaborative display. It takes up a 30"x40" area and is desert themed as far as the terrain goes. I made a few improvements and it hasn't been to any shows si...

Look at that hammer and crossbow bolt not in chrome! Those are going to be incredible parts for castle sets!
