Towards a The Hobbit / LOTR range in Micro Scale format?

I'm bouncing off my own theory regarding MicroFighters from the LEGO Star Wars range (See this article) by taking a look at the exclusive LEGO The Hobbit set sold for the modest sum of $ 40 at the last San Diego Comic Con: Micro Scale Bag End.

On the menu, 130 pieces, a minifigure of Bilbo and finally a miniature version of the set 79003 An Unexpected Gathering released in 2012.

I come to my interpretation of this set: What if LEGO decided to decline this principle of mini-set for the Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit range? This format would make it possible to offer buildings or more generally scenes that are difficult to transpose to the System format because of the prohibitive price that the number of parts required would imply: Minas Tirith, Barad-Dûr, Erebor or even Rivendell would be perfectly suited customers. Several remakes of existing sets in System format would eventually join these mini-sets: Helm's Deep (9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep) or Orthanc (10237 The Tower of Orthanc) for example.

If we admit that LEGO is testing concepts with these exclusive sets sold at various conventions, then this theory could be realistic. As far as I'm concerned, a range of mini-sets accompanied by a minifig, would be welcome. It would allow us to add iconic scenes or locations to our collection that LEGO will probably never release on a larger scale ...
