LEGO Dimensions Legolas Gollum & Gimli Sets Preview!

LEGO Dimensions Lord of the Rings Gollum Fun Pack 71218

It was less than a month ago that I was in mourning for the LEGO Lord of the Rings theme, as I lamented the release of what was expected to be the final two Lord of the Rings minifigures: the Bard and Bain figures included with the Target exclusive Hobbit Battle of Five Armies Blu-Ray release. But things have unexpectedly changed since last month in a big way with the announcement of the dimension-hopping LEGO Dimensions video game. And as part of the first wave of expansion packs, Lord of the Rings returns: it’s the LEGO Dimensions Gollum, Gimli and Legolas sets!

Hobbit 3 Blu-Ray with Exclusive Bain Minifigure Released!

Target Exclusive LEGO Hobbit Battle of Five Armies Combo Pack Released

I outright detested the third Hobbit movie. I’ll be a Peter Jackson fan for life for his work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy (and to some extent his first two Hobbit films), but The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies was a huge disappointment and a real dud in my opinion. So you would probably expect that I would be nowhere near a store at 9AM on the morning the Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies DVD/Blu-Ray set is released. But you would be wrong. Because as much as I hate that movie, I love exclusive minifigures more: the Target Exclusive Hobbit 3 Blu-Ray with Bard and exclusive Bain minifigures has now been released!

Target Exclusive Hobbit Battle of Five Armies Combo Pack with LEGO Minifigures Bain Bard

Earlier this month, images leaked out from Hong Kong of a previously-unannounced LEGO Bain minifigure. With no new LEGO The Hobbit sets scheduled for release in 2015, it seemed almost certain that this exclusive Bain figure would be the pack-in for this year’s Target Exclusive The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies DVD/Blu-Ray Combo Pack. And as it so happens–it is! But why settle for one free LEGO Minifigure when you can have two?! A LEGO Bard the Bowman minifigure will also be included with the set!

LEGO Hobbit Bain Minifigure Exclusive Revealed & Photos!

LEGO Bain Minifigure Exclusive Hobbit Battle of Five Armies DVD Blu Ray Figure

I make it a point to see every movie that comes out that has its own LEGO sets (even “The Lone Ranger” *shudder*), so it won’t shock anybody that I went out New Year’s Eve to see The Hobbit The Battle of Five Armies. The movie was, uh… not my favorite Peter Jackson film, but I did like at least a few of the characters.

And one of them just may be the final LEGO Lord of the Rings figure ever produced–the exclusive LEGO Bain minifigure has now been revealed!

LEGO The Hobbit Attack on Lake-Town 79016 Box Front

Now that LEGO has begun shipping to the LEGO The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies sets to stores (which, in turn, are now selling the sets), there’s nothing stopping us from finally discussing this late 2014 LEGO Hobbit sets!

Next up is the LEGO Attack on Lake-Town 79016 set, which is the second-smallest of the sets in this wave. While the minifigure selection that comes with LEGO 79016 is a little bit bland, I think long-time LEGO The Hobbit collectors are going to have a blast pairing this set off with last year’s portion of Lake-Town…

Remember that stuff I said yesterday about how I was highly dubious that the three previously-unseen LEGO The Hobbit 2014 winter sets would be released before November 2014…? Yeah–scratch that. As it turns out–and to the shock of LEGO collectors everywhere–all four LEGO The Hobbit 2014 sets have now suddenly been released at various Toys R Us stores in the United States! Now that they’re actually in stores and being sold, we can finally take a look at the new LEGO Hobbit sets–starting with the LEGO Witch-King Battle 79015!

LEGO The Hobbit The Lonely Mountain 79018 Box

The past two years, LEGO released the Hobbit sets just in time for holiday shoppers to rush out and buy them! But this year, LEGO is doing things a little bit differently. While I don’t expect that we’ll see all four of the LEGO Hobbit 2014 sets released at once, at least one of the sets coming our way is going to be out in just over one month’s time! Scheduled for release on October 15th, 2014–it’s the LEGO The Lonely Mountain 79018 set… with LEGO Smaug Dragon!

If there’s one thing that LEGO collectors well and truly love, it’s exclusive LEGO minifigures that you have to buy an expensive product like a video game to acquire, right? (Right…?). LEGO sure seems to think so, because hot on the heels of the LEGO Movie video game being released with a variety of different exclusive LEGO Movie minifigures, LEGO has announced the next video game tie-in figure.

LEGO Lake Town Chase 2014 Sets Released LEGO The Hobbit 79013 Desolation of Smaug

I went out this morning searching for the 2014 LEGO Ninjago Nindroid MechDragon set, but I came up empty-handed at every store in my area. The voyage wasn’t a total loss, however. In fact–far from it! Though I didn’t even know they’d been released, I came across the quartet of 2013-2014 LEGO The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug sets, and took the opportunity to photograph all four…
