Pre-Order the One Lego Brick to Rule them All!
May 17, 2012 by brennon
I don't think any of us are ever too old to be playing with Lego. Especially when you see that the Lord of The Rings Lego sets are now up for Pre-Orders from Sideshow Collectibles! Check out some of the awesome sets below...
Let's go through these releases as the journey would have done! First up is the ever so calm and collected Gandalf Arrives. Not an Orc to be seen...
Next up we delve into the Mines of Moria, although now we know of course that this place is certainly no mine.
After that the Uruk-Hai threat rises under the dominion of the White Hand and Rohan is threatened in Uruk-Hai Army!
Which of course leads to The Battle of Helm's Deep where the strength and resolve of men is really put to the test.
Then last but not least we have the evil lair where Shelob Attacks poor Master Frodo and his faithful aide Sam!
As you can probably tell I am rather excited about the prospect of going back to Lego and collecting all these box sets for The Lord of the Rings. While obviously this is not going to be for everyone, I think most will have a place for maybe one of these sets. Especially this year with The Hobbit on the horizon.
I think I may have to plump for the Mines of Moria simply because it features a Lego Gimli!
Which of these would you be picking up?

Interesting to see how the designers have rendered each set piece – Shelob stands out especially as she’s mostly made from actual construction bricks rather than being a specially moulded shape so she should be really posable. ‘Legollum’ is really fun though. 😉 Looking forward to a potential Ruins of Osgiliath and Minas Tirith set too.
Here you go, a wargame to use these with; http://www.brikwars.com/
That gives me an idea…any chance they’ll do a LOTR set for Heroica?
It will probably be cheaper to but GW ones.
Sorry GW this is where my army will come from.
I did have a chuckle when I realised that they had essentially split the Fellowship up amongst a few boxes so that you couldn’t grab JUST those figures lol.

So…Lego-las?
Nothing hurts more than standing on Lego, especially a 2×1. Not even and upturned three pin plug!
True, but (freely) after the words of great James May, putting two Lego bricks together is one of those fundamentally basic pleasures each person in the world should experience, if we’re to hope for a better future.
HOw true, however that price is bloody expensive. Lego make GW look cheap. £18 for a green board! grumble grumble moan moan. 😛
