“One brick to rule them all, one brick to find them, one brick to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them …”
Last month, we reported that LEGO had signed a deal with Warner Brothers to release minifigures and sets wrapped around the epic JRR Tolkein series (and Peter Jackson films) of The Lord of the Rings. The first character we saw appeared to be Frodo, holding the ring of power that he would have to take on a long journey to Mordor. Then came Aragorn’s turn. And now we have a new poster which has LEGOlas (yes, that’s right, everyone is jumping on that pun). But there’s more coming as we take the Fellowship’s journey towards summer …
Is this the Fellowship minfig lineup?
Some fans have been speculating that LEGO has very quietly been releasing LOTR minfigs in the LEGO Collectible Minifig Series with LEGOlas like elf in Series 3, a familiar looking dwarf (Gimli) in Series 5, and perhaps Aragorn’s Ranger look in Series 7. If so, that’s genius. It may also be LEGO’s way of seeing if an LOTR minfig is wanted. Of course, they’ve already got that answer.
But we’ve also been seeing leaked images of the sets being offered later this year including The Mines of Moria, The Battle of Helms Deep (can’t wait for that one), Attack on Weathertop, and a set built around the Army of the Urakai (orcs). Check out these images before we have to take them down! The complete LOTR line is launching this summer and there’s going to be some pretty slick sets, and you can bet that Traveller’s Tales will also release a LEGO Lord of the Rings Video Game.
