Women are hard to do in lego. They’re basically guys in drag. 
I’m sure Arwen and Eowyn won’t be far behind. They’re focusing on the Fellowship and its foes for now.
Except they have Eomer. What kind of logic is it to have Eomer but not Eowyn?

But, but, I spent all my money on Star Wars action figures.
Oh well.
Yes, there is!
Gamestop asked me a few times if I’d like to pre-order. Fall of this year.
And it uses actual voice clips from the movies for the animated cuts.
Awesome. In the Mines of Moria set, I like how alarmed the cute little Lego Pippin is as he’s knocking the cute little Lego dwarf skeleton into the well.
You’ll notice Durin’s Tomb even has the appropriate Dwarvish inscription on it. And Legolas has little pointy ears!
Check out Frodo’s expression in the “Shelob’s attack” set. 
Balin’s. But of course you knew that.
That’s just perfect – the poison has taken effect, and he’s all zombified & stuff.
And I notice that Gollum brought a fish with him. 
Ah, yes. I stand corrected!
Just went to our local Lego store yesterday with my Lego-mad 12-year-old for the second day of the rollout of the LOTR Legos. They had a trivia contest, a scavenger hunt (finding Uruk-hai figures which had been placed in unrelated Lego displays around the store) and the chance to build a Lego sword (didn’t look much like any of the movie swords). All of the LOTR kits looked pretty much like you see on the website. My son built a sword and bought the “arrival of Gandalf” kit, with Gandalf, the horsecart, and Frodo. The store also had some high-quality posters on display, including a large map of Middle-earth.
One of the trivia contest questions threw us: “Who was the greedy Hobbit?”
Our answer, after much cogitation, was Gollum (even through, yes, he was a Stoor and not a Hobbit). But according to the sales clerk’s preprinted contest sheet, Pippin was the correct answer. He was curious, yes, and klutzy, but I never thought of him as “greedy”…
But…Stoors ARE hobbits. One of the three kinds of hobbits. And yes, probably the sort to which Gollum belonged, but the term shouldn’t be used to mean some sort of “proto-hobbit” or something.
Correct, and IIRC Gandalf describes Smeagol’s people as “the fathers of the fathers of the Stoors”, although you wouldn’t think 500-odd years was long enough for there to be a meaningful amount of physical variance.
The promo shot where “Shelob Attacks” is kind of nifty.
For a second I misread that as “porno shot”. What a horrible mental image!
I want! Please, I’ll be good.
(Also, it took about three seconds for my brother to start making “LEGOlas” jokes.)
There could be so many answers to that! Bilbo for taking the Arkenstone, Frodo for stealing Maggot’s mushrooms, Fatty Bolger generally… Low level, relatively harmless greed is pretty much a defining characteristic of Hobbits!
I doubt I’ll be getting any figures, but I’ll get the Xbox game for certain.
I would have guessed Lobelia Sackville-Baggins.
