Gandalf The White in exclusive minifigure ...

We are starting to get used to these exclusive minifigs that LEGO sows everywhere: In video games (LEGO Batman II DC Super Heroes with Lex Luthor), in the books (Batman Electro-Suit in the encyclopedia LEGO Batman The Visual Dictionary), in the Blu-rays (Young Han Solo in the Blu-ray The Padawan Menace) ... And it seems that the video game LEGO Lord of the Rings whose release is announced for the end of October 2012 is no exception to this fashion.

Indeed, a guy who knows a guy who works at Gamestop could have obtained the still unconfirmed official information that the video game would soon be offered for pre-order in a limited edition accompanied by an exclusive Gandalf The White minifigure.

No trace for the moment of this offer on the site in question, but we still have time to see it appear. As usual, if you want to acquire the minifig on its own, you will have to turn to eBay or Bricklink.
