Here is what the presence of the LEGO Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit ranges during the New York Toy Fair comes down to: Not much ...

We will have to wait to get a preview of the four The Hobbit sets announced for the end of 2014 with the references 79015 (101 pieces), 79016 (313 pieces), 79017 (471 pieces) and 79018 (number of pieces unknown) .

No information for the moment about possible sets on the Lord of the Rings theme ...

Here is a new visual used by Warner to promote the lego the hobbit video game, which above all has the merit of giving us an overview of the Smaug figurine that will be present in the game.

Nothing says the plastic version will be the same, but taking into account the description that some visitors to the London Toy Fair may have made of the Smaug minifigure shown on the LEGO stand, the minifigure that should be delivered in set 79018 should look like the version that appears in this image ...

I remind you that this video game will only cover the first two opus of The Hobbit saga, and that a special edition is currently pre-order from amazon DE without knowing for the moment what is so special (exclusive DLC or exclusive Bilbo minifigure offered?).

There are many interpretations of Minas Tirith in LEGO, and at all scales ...

Here is one in the mind Brand, which I find really very successful.

Come to think of it, I am convinced that this scale is the best to reproduce Minas Tirith without having to make too many compromises and retain a bit of the majesty of the thing.

Other photos are available in the flickr gallery from lisqr. A small animation (animated GIF) allowing to discover the fortress from all angles is online at this address.

It seems that this MOC is also a Cuusoo project, but the link to the file is not yet valid.

Gamestop USA has just unveiled the exclusive minifig offered during the pre-order of the video game LEGO The Hobbit: A minifig of Bilbo Baggins in indoor clothes ...

No information for the moment on the availability of this collector's version of the game at Micromania or Amazon, even if we can think that the "Special Edition" of the game announced by amazon.de will also be accompanied by this unique minifigure.

It is currently dead calm when it comes to the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit ranges. Indeed, nothing new on the LEGO stand of the last Nuremberg Toy Fair, not even a teasing for the sets to come.

As you can see in the photo above, part of the LEGO stand was dedicated to The Hobbit range but the manufacturer only presented the four The Hobbit sets that we already know: 79011 Dol Guldur Ambush, 79012 Mirwood Elf Army, 79013 Lake Town Chase et 79014 Dol Guldur Battle.

Hopefully we will know more about the next four sets in The Hobbit range (79015. 79016, 79017 and 79018), which does not know much about for the moment, as of February 16: This is the date on which the New York Toy Fair 2014 will open its doors ...
