LOTR and the hobbit lego

[Sir Kohran]

As far as appealing to children goes, I think Lord of the Rings does lack the 'playful' feel that Harry Potter and Star Wars have, with all their wacky creatures, wands/lightsabers, magic/lasers, etc. And Tolkien's stories are generally quite grim and downbeat in tone.

Given the scale and detail of the sets, Lego seem to have high hopes for the line, so it'll be interesting to see how it does.

Just looked at the sets again... I don't think I'll buy (m)any of them. They look nice and playable by themselves, but I have absolutely no use for peaches and I don't think they're too great parts-wise either. Kingdoms disappeared off the shelves a month too early

Four wow , you should get some pictures of them all together . But the leaving of Kingdoms from stores was so quick that I had to buy one set for more than list off of eBay and the other one I'm still trying to get . I have have heard rumors of Lego keeping Kingdoms after LotR ends anybody else heard about that?

I think that is to be interpreted as 'Kingdoms' simply taking the name of 'Castle' as an overall description for upcoming castle lines rather than the actual line itself (at least that's how I interpret it): I don't see them making more lion/dragon knights sets after this, but I'm sure there'll be a a new castle line at one point. I'll look for the Joust on the shelves, the internet says it's hard to find however and it may not be the same here in Belgium, where we have virtually no Lego stores, in fact there's not 1 store in my vicinity that sells any Lego at all, I have to go other places that are usually overpriced :/
