New bios on the official LEGO LOTR website

The teasing continues from LEGO with 3 new presentation sheets added to the official website thelordoftherings.lego.com.

Obviously, they are in English, but everything is easily understandable with a good translation, since it is intended for a young audience who does not necessarily know the characters of the Lord of the Rings universe. the summaries are very well done, and each character is presented in a synthetic way without adding any more. 

With all due respect to the so-called geeks who still believe that having seen the Peter Jackson trilogy makes them apart, LEGO popularizes Lord of the Rings and thus makes it accessible to its potential customers: The children. And this is a good thing. Lord of the Rings, and more generally literature heroic fantasy ou medieval-fantasy, is often put forward by some to claim to be a caste of people apart ...

But LEGO fortunately has the gift of bringing things back to their true value as was the case with Star Wars and making them accessible to everyone for what they are: Literary or cinematographic works that have become reference points like so many others in our culture, geek or not ...
When we see that the least penguin who could afford an iPhone or who plays Call of Duty like a few billion people claims to be geek, we understand a lot ... My 7 and a half year old son loves Darth Vader as much than any nostalgic thirty-something and he appreciates old Gandalf and grumpy Gimli just as much as those who have spent part of their life learning Elvish languages ​​....

So on the menu for these new files, Haldir, eomer and Berserker Uruk-Hai. the minifigs are digital renderings and not the ABS plastic versions we are entitled to.

PS: To all the children who read me, and I know thanks to your numerous emails that you are more and more numerous, know that this blog is also made for you, geeks or not, AFOLs or not ... thank you parents also.
