LEGO Lord of the Rings 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush

First official visuals for the Lord of the Rings LEGO set 79008 Pirate Ship Ambush.

On the menu 756 pieces, 9 minifigs including Peter Jackson in the guise of a Pirate of Umbar which he plays on the screen, a 60 cm long boat (which does not float) and a public price which should revolve around € 99.

Boat enthusiasts will be in heaven, as will minifig collectors. We find the inevitable Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli accompanied here by Peter Jackson (Pirate of Umbar), King of the dead, of two Soldiers of the dead different, and two Mordor Orcs.

The Hobbit - Bilbo Exclusive Minifig

The bad news of the day is that it looks like the exclusive exclusive Biblo minifigure, which was offered as a bonus with the Blu-ray edition of the film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey by US Target, will probably not be available in Great Britain and by extension in Europe. In any case, that's what Warner customer service replied to a member of Brickset.

It should also be noted that Target no longer offers this Blu-ray / Minifig pack on its site, the original product sheet having been replaced by a standard version of the film set (see the file here).

Collectors keen to assemble all of The Hobbit minifigs produced by LEGO should therefore turn to eBay ou bricklink where Bilbo is already trading around 30 €.

It is currently impossible to know if this minifigure will ever come out in an official LEGO set or if it is an ultra-limited series that we will never see again on the shelves of our stores. The costume Bilbo wears appears to be from a cut scene from the movie, and it's unlikely that LEGO will draw a set of it.

But we can always hope that this minifigure resurfaces at the next Comic Con for example ... In the meantime, if you absolutely need this minifigure, don't delay. Time doesn't help when it comes to exclusive limited edition products ...

Gollum by Bricknave

A little wink for the pretty thumbnail posted by Bricknave on his flickr gallery.

The presentation is neat with an original base and the reflection effect is cleverly set up ...
