Martin Freeman aka Bilbo

It's certain the facebook page dedicated to the film that some of the cast of The Hobbit trilogy were presented in the company of their respective minifigs.

And everyone seems rather satisfied with the plastic version of his character, even if we can have some doubts about Ori whose minfig is far from being similar.

I added the visuals of the minifigs in a more readable format on each photo.

- 20% off The Hobbit range at amazon.de

Here is an example of what gives the command that I have just placed on amazon.de for sets from The Hobbit range.

The prices charged are already much lower than those offered by LEGO on the LEGO Shop and we must also deduct the 20% discount offered by amazon.de until December 5 (i.e. tomorrow ...)

This discount is applied immediately before payment and the five sets available therefore cost me 215.61 € including postage instead of 285.45 € on the LEGO Shop.

 LEGO The Battle of Helm's Deep by BrotherhoodWorkshop

New brickfilm from the artists of BrotherhoodWorkshop with a wacky recreation of the Battle of Helm's Deep.
The animation is as always extremely fluid, especially since it was necessary here to coordinate many minifigs.
 The humor is omnipresent (Look for Chewbacca who makes several appearances ...) and the staging is perfect with a lighting and an atmosphere worthy of the best films. Much of the sound effects are from the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game.

Have fun locating the many minifigs invited on the set including Voldemort, Ezio and Dastan as extras ....

A treat to watch absolutely in HD!

LEGO The Hobbit 79000 Riddles for the Ring

Artifex attacks the reviews on the novelties of the The Hobbit range and starts with the set 79000 Riddles for the Ring (Available for pre-order at amazon.es for € 12.54)

Nothing really exciting in this set apart from the two minifigs.

But as you already know if you follow my blogs, I'd rather spend 2-3 minutes on a video review like this rather than listen to the redundant comments like The Brick Show or read the dozens of reviews that just describe it. laboriously what we see on the (sometimes bad) photos that accompany them.

The pinnacle being the reviews covered with marks awarded we do not really know how and all more useless than the others ...
