Recall that there were originally 2 movies...and the final was set to come out right around the time of the release of The Hobbit video game....They changed the schedule to accomodate for 3 movies...with December releases rather than Summer.

I've read that the game will have additional Digital License Content that you can download once the third film comes out ( to complete the 'trilogy')

Excited to see the Witch King and Minas Tirith sets.

What Minas Tirith sets?  Did I miss a rumor?  I thought all that was confirmed is some additional Hobbit sets later in the year, one which includes the Witch King since he will probably make an appearance in the 3rd movie.

I was out and about in several toy stores (UK) and supermarkets earlier this week and didn't see a single LOTR or Hobbit set apart from a few of the older Hobbit sets in Toysrus. I know that the themes were not popular with UK retailers and most sets were cleared at half price in the Spring at many retailers.

 

This has got me wondering whether the license will survive in to 2015. There seems little reason for it to carry on. There are no new LOTR sets, the Hobbit film will have been and gone, and the retailers seem to hate them anyway. That might make the last wave Hobbit sets good investments. I plan to buy some but only at a discount. If I miss out so be it, I've got enough of the older sets already.

 

Anyone else share the view that the whole theme is about to go?

Sign this petition if you want more LotR sets. They need 1,500 more.

Ha, even with 100 times that many signatures, Lego will do what they want, clearly they aren't selling well and no amount of enthusiasm from fans will make up the golf they need to turn out a profitable series.

You should better spread the word and sign the Lego Ideas sets.
