LEGO Lord of the Rings new characters?

As you probably already know the LEGO Lord of the Rings video-game is scheduled to be released on October 20th, 2012. We talked about the video-game before; you can read the previous posts here: LEGO Lord of the Rings Video Game Coming!, LEGO Lord of the Rings New Trailer

The reason I’m bringing up the topic again is because the game is advertised through several new posters, which reveal some interesting details about possible future LEGO Lord of the Rings minifigures. 😛

Below is a larger image of the LEGO Lord of the Rings bad-guys poster, so you can better see the details. As you can see it features the wizard Saruman (nice hair/beard combo – hopefully LEGO will do this for Gandalf as well!),  a fully armored Cave-Troll, Shelob (the evil thing is spider-form), the Lord of  the Nazgul (a.k.a. Witch King) on his terrifying ride, the Balrog of Moria (looks awesome!), and some Uruk-hai, Orcs and Ringwraiths.

And here is the new Lord of the Rings game poster featuring (mainly) the good-guys. Here we get a closer look of the Witch King, and there is a Mumakil – or “Oliphaunt”, as the Hobbits called it. I really hope LEGO will make some! We need a herd of these! Oh, and I love the expression on Gollum’s face! I hope they make him into a minifig just like that! 🙄

Again, before you get too excited, please remember that these are posters for the LEGO Lord of the Rings game, and there is no guarantee that LEGO will make them into actual characters in sets. However we can hope that they will! In the meantime you can pre-order the game on Amazon.

So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO Lord of the Rings game characters? And which one is your favorite that LEGO should definitely make? Share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below! 😉

LEGO Star Wars – The Padawan Menace

As we mentioned previously, a new LEGO Star Wars TV special, called LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out, will premier on Cartoon Network tonight,  September 26, at 8:00 PM. (You can read the original announcement and see the trailer here: LEGO Star Wars – The Empire Strikes Out) Are you excited? 🙂

The Empire Strikes Out is the second LEGO Star Wars film. The first one was LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace, that aired on Cartoon Network in the summer of 2011. It was released on DVD and Blu-Ray a couple of months later. (Which will hopefully be the case with The Empire Strikes Out as well – just in time for the holidays.)

The first LEGO Star Wars film was greatly enjoyed by both kids and adults, and it is likely that the second film will be successful as well. LEGO is known for great animation and adding quite a bit of fun and humor. While we are waiting for the show tonight, I thought to add here the LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace for your pleasure, and to get you in the mood of LEGO Star Wars movie fun.

Cute, isn’t it? My favorite character is the confused Darth Vader always getting in the wrong scene! If you would like to own the DVD of the LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace (with an exclusive young Han Solo minifigure) you can pick it up on Amazon.com. There is also a full-color comic-book version with pictures from the film, also available on Amazon.

So are you looking forward to the Star Wars movie tonight? Remember, there will also be replays in the following days, so you will have several opportunities to watch it. And if you don’t have Cartoon Network the DVD and Blu-Ray version should follow shortly! 😉
