Let's go for a list of what could be the sets of the LOTR range for June 2012.
This list which is currently circulating everywhere, on forums and on Youtube (cf. TheLegoAdrian's comment on the previous article) was posted on 16/12 by Eurobricks forumer AllanSmith (see here), and a few hours later, another forumer, Cwetqo, confirmed the existence of these sets (see here:
9469 Gandalf Arrives
9470 Shelob Attacks
9471 Uruk-hai Army
9472 Attack on Weathertop
9473 The Mines of Moria
9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep
9476 The Orc Forge
The names are catchy and promising.
We will take care not to get carried away on this list before having confirmation from other sources, or before having access to the first preliminary visuals.
In addition, there is no point in getting excited about the names of these sets either, LEGO being the specialist in pompous names, to ultimately offer us sets that have little to do with what the AFOLs expected. ..
Obviously, just like you, I'm impatient to know the list of sets that will be offered to us. But more than just a simple list, I'd start jumping all over the place when the first visuals pop up.
In the meantime, since we still don't know anything, let me illustrate this article with a photo relating to Peter Jackson's next film: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey...
This spaceship piloted by Asajj Ventress and seen in particular in the 12th episode of season 3 of the animated series The Clone Wars has not been often reproduced by MOCeurs. I offered you on this blog Joel Baker's version at the beginning of 2011, and since nothing or not much, except the micro version of Vacherone (see this article).
Unlike Joel Baker's MOC, this one uses wings that are not made of parts. Rook used the sails of the boat from the set Pirates of the Caribbean 4195 Queen's Anne Revenge and even though the wings don't have the expected circular shape, this trick works pretty well.
The final rendering is faithful to the original model and the fenders can even fold up. What more ?
To discuss or see more, visit the dedicated topic to this MOC at Eurobricks.
The box of the day of the Advent Calendar reveals something a little weird: A kind of support with 2 blasters, a pair of binoculars and a lightsaber. It's cool, but who is it for?
The lightsaber could be that of .... let's leave some suspense. The binoculars and the two blasters will still be useful for yesterday's Clone Pilot, but it still borders on the scam in the box of the day. As was already the case with Chewbacca's adjustable wrench a few days ago ...
As Master Yoda would say: Better tomorrow will be fine ....
The first boxes of the 6 series of collectable minifigs are starting to be available and buyers who have opened all the bags are posting here and there the inventory of their series of 60 bags.
So Huw from Brickset publishes the contents of his box, in total:
5 x minotaurs, Celtic warriors, bandits (15)
4 x skaters, leprechauns, flamenco girls, space babes, aliens, mechanics (24)
3 x liberty statues, robots, genies, suckers, Romans, sleepy boys, butchers (21)
Vickicara, still on Brickset, got her these quantities in her box:
5 x minotaurs, Celtic warriors, bandits (15)
4 x skaters, leprechauns, flamenco girls, space babes, aliensbutchers (24)
3 x liberty statues, robots, genies, suckers, Romans, sleepy boysmechanics (21)
These two examples are obviously not enough to make a certainty or a definitive rule about the distribution of minifigs, but it is a good starting point for estimating the contents of the boxes.
Seen on Youtube, this new advertisement for the two sets of the 2012 range: 9493 X-Wing Starfighter et 9492 Tie Fighter. As usual with LEGO advertisements, the setting is very well done and will make even the most reluctant want to replay the attack on the Death Star with these two ships ...
Let's just hope this video isn't sci-fi when it comes to the playability of these two ships: The X-Wing feels solid to me, but I hope the Tie Fighter can handle being moved around without breaking apart at the slightest. movement .... To see when both are available.
In addition, grogall posted on Eurobricks a visual gathering some of the minifigs of the 2012 range. History to confirm that these minifigs are really very successful and that 2012 will be a terrible year for our finances ...
