We have talked about the upcoming LEGO Lord of the Rings sets as they were revealed at the Toy Fairs earlier this year (see 2013 LEGO Sets: LEGO Lord of the Rings). Although not officially released yet, two of the LEGO Lord of the Rings summer sets showed up on Kmart’s website. (See the other two at the post linked above.) The listing has been done by mistake and the sets are not available for sale yet, but at least we can take a better look. 😛
➡ #79007 LEGO Lord of the Rings Battle at the Black Gate – Fly the Great Eagle high above the Black Gate of Mordor where Aragorn and Gandalf the White must distract the Eye of Sauron. Use them to stage a scene while Frodo Baggins and his friend Sam throw the One Ring into the fiery depths of Mount Doom and destroy it forever. To reach the Ring’s final destination, you must defeat the Mouth of Sauron and the Mordor Orcs positioned high in the spiked gate walls. Then breach the gate and lead the attack on the enemy! Includes a Great Eagle and 5 minifigures: Aragorn, Gandalf the White, Mouth of Sauron, and 2 Mordor Orcs. Price: $59.99
As mentioned in the official description above, the set will include 5 minifigs: Aragorn, Gandalf the White, Mouth of Sauron, and 2 Mordor Orcs.
Here is a picture with everything included in the LEGO Lord of the Rings Battle at the Black Gate set. As we discussed before, the eagle is really awesome! (You can click on images for larger view.)
Below are a couple of more images with the front and back of the Black Gate. Also, please note that you can combine two of the sets to make a larger, more impressive Black Gate. (Click images for larger view.)

With their assistance he was able to take over the corsairs of Umbar and used their ships to help Gondor and Rohan. Includes 9 minifigures: Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, King of the Dead, two Soldiers of the Dead, Pirate of Umbar, and two Mordor Orcs. Price: $99.99

Below is a different view of the Pirate Ship from the back. I really like the use of those wings and shields to give great detailing of the ship. (Click images for larger view.)
The 2013 LEGO Lord of the Rings sets should be available shortly. In the meantime you can check out the currently available LEGO Lord of the Rings and LEGO The Hobbit sets at the Online LEGO Shop.
