LEGO The Hobbit 30212 Mirkwood Elf Guard

A new polybag from the LEGO The Hobbit range is being offered for sale by Toys R Us (USA) at a rate of $ 4.99.

He's a pretty nice Elf, although I regret that the two shades of green between the chest and the hood don't really match ...

This polybag is not yet available on bricklink ou eBay, but that will obviously not be long in coming.

LEGO Lord of the Rings Video Game Cut Scenes

There are those who have time to waste: Someone took care of grouping together all the cutscenes from the LEGO Lord of the Rings video game in order to obtain a "film" of more than 1h30.

To be reserved for all those who do not intend to play this game and to chain the cutscenes that come (a little too often) to punctuate the campaign whose life is announced at 5/6 hours.
Small note: This video is full of minifigs or new constructions that we will probably never see in plastic version. This is often the case with LEGO licensed video games developed by TT Games. And it's sad, but that's how it is ...

LEGO Lord of the Rings: Exclusive Elrond Minifigure

Well, big disappointment, contrary to what had been announced more or less officially via a press release, the exclusive Elrond minifigure will apparently not be available at Micromania which simply offers a t-shirt (What's they all got with t-shirts right now?) and DLC on certain versions of the game for any pre-order (and within the limit of the first 200 customers).

I do not see any offer including this minifigure in France currently and I end up telling myself that it will probably be impossible to get this bag without paying a few tens of €.

Based on this observation, I cracked and ordered the minifigure on eBay where the polybags containing this brave Elrond have been growing like mushrooms for a few days ... The prices vary enormously from one seller to another, every day new sellers come to offer their bag (s) and looking well and by being patient, it is possible to obtain it for about twenty €.
