This week at the UK Toy Fair we were given the first images and details of the Lord of the Rings Lego sets!
Let's get the frustrating news out first: You’ll need to buy all 7 sets if you want to get the complete Fellowship and that's quite a big chunk of change (set prices start at $11.99 all the way up to 99.99). The good news is that each set is amazing and worth every penny!!
9469 Gandalf Arrives - Includes Frodo and Gandalf with cart and fireworks. A great set and a way to get the two most obvious characters. (price approx. $11.99)
9470 Shelob Attacks - Includes Gollum and Shelob (big spider) and Frodo with ring (which is a gold chromed ring, sized perfectly to fit on a minifig hand) and Samwise Gamgee. (price approx. $19.99)
9471 Uruk-Hai Army - Comes with Eomer, Rohan soldier and 4 Urak-Hai and a small section of wall, siege machine and one horses, which features articulated back legs. It’s designed to be joined to the Helm’s Deep playset. (price approx. $29.99)
9472 Attack on Weathertop - Includes Frodo, Merry, Aragorn and two Ringwaiths on horseback. There’s a small section of Weathertop, which includes a spiral staircase and ruins at the top. (price approx. $49.99)
9473 The Mines of Moria - Comes with a great selection of minifigs, such as Pippin, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, a Cave Troll and two Moria Orcs. (price approx. $69.99)
9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep - Includes 8 minifigs – Gimli, King Theoden, Haldir, Aragorn and 4 Urak-Hai warriors. Huge playset that has new "bricks" that resemble the walls of Helm's Deep. (price approx. $99.99)
9476 The Orc Forge - Includes 5 Orcs and various forge related stuff and has a light brick, which was a nice feature. (price approx. $39.99)
All sets will be released in August. Sets based on the new Hobbit movie will be released in the 4th quarter of 2012 (probably in time for Christmas!)
