Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit - general discussion

[Alcarin]

Thinking the same. I wish they would ship here or just had similar offers. I will probably buy it from amazon.de, for 70 euro. Low shipping.

 

How much is shipping from German Amazon? 10

[massakassa]

Meh 40 pounds is too much..I bought one for 40 dollars

Yeah prices in europe are just too darn high,I know because I lived there myself most of my life. Canada isn't too bad but the US still has the best deals so I hear.

Interesting, I live in country just right next to yours and shipping for me (1 set) is crazy 12.50

[Alcarin]

When I have a larger order I ship it to my friend in Germany, and when he comes home to visit his family he can pass them to me. He uses a multivan, so he could not care less That is how I bought my computer, you know who will pay 350

They have not been out even 1 year yet, but definetly the signs have started to appear. Large discounts. Limited availablility. Pirate ship ambush should do the best after EOL.

 

 

Don`t know why every seems to hate on the Goblin King. The set itself is an ugly mess, but there are lots of great parts included in this set. Would I buy at full price? Definetly not, but it`s worth considering at 50% or so.

[Crustybeaver]

Unexpected Gathering has been out a year and a half, the other two are coming up to a year. Many UK stockists have sold out and most of the others are slashing the prices. While I agree most sets last 18-24 months, it's not uncommon to see sets last no more than a year

Who is The Entertainer?

 

A toy shop, one of the largest in the UK

[Grolim]

These sets along with with Goblin King, Wargs, Wizard Battle, Riddles, and Barrel Escape have all started disappearing for me locally as well.  That sometimes happens in a remote country like mine and then retailers get another shipment.  But this time there have been some crazy 50-60% off discounting at a few online stores for very short windows and I was lucky enough to pick a few more of each up.

 

Could be the last we see of these sets for sure.

[Lego Head Steven]

I have been to a few Toys R Us stores in the last few days and all have 50-60% off on most Hobbit sets. As does Smyths Toys.

Some have smaller discounts such as Goblin King and Mines of Moria.

I was in one TRU store a few hours ago and they still had X5 Helms Deep but at full price....

[glenbart]

Gundol battle was 25 quid today on asda direct, gone now, But still black gates, elf army, council of elrond, wizard battle, mirkwook spiders and lake town chase all 50% off.

Inside Information...

Our journey to make The Hobbit Trilogy has been in some ways like Bilbo's own, with hidden paths revealing their secrets to us as we've gone along.

I'm still holding out for all 3 releases before watching it.  I've been good so far.
