I hope these images gave you an even better idea of what’s coming! I particularly like that the forts and other structures are brick-built, instead of using those large pre-made pieces. And of course the minifigs and the new poseable horses are on my favorites list! What about you? What do you think of the upcoming LEGO Lord of the Rings sets?
