In high anticipation of the upcoming LEGO Lord of the Rings theme, today I thought to share with you some video-footage taken at the New York toy fair by FBTB.net. I would recommend that you also check out the previous post; LEGO Lord of the Rings Sets – First Pictures, which lists all of the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets with lots of pictures, details and prices. The following videos reveal some of the special characteristics of three of the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets. Enjoy! 😀

#9473 LEGO LORD OF THE RINGS The Mines of Moria – On their epic journey across the lands of Middle-earth, the heroic Fellowship of the Ring travels through the abandoned Mines of Moria. Pursued by the evil Moria orcs and a giant Cave Troll, Pippin, Boromir, Gimli, and Legolas make a stand in Balin’s Tomb…

#9474 LEGO LORD OF THE RINGS The Battle of Helm’s Deep – The walled fortress of Helm’s Deep is under attack by the mighty Uruk-hai army and the forces of men, elves, and a dwarf must do everything they can to stop them from breaching the fortress walls…

#9476 LEGO LORD OF THE RINGS The Orc Forge – The first time the Orc Forges are seen in the Lord of the Rings movies is when Saruman is creating a group of Uruk-hai to pursue the Fellowship. The second time the Orc Forges are seen is in The Two Towers when Saruman is creating a 10,000 strong army to kill Theoden and his men at Helm’s Deep…

LEGO Modular Town Hall now available!

The #10224 LEGO Modular Town Hall has been greatly anticipated by LEGO fans ever since the first leaked images emerged. This last addition in the LEGO Modular Houses series is big, beautiful, and full of great details! Watch Astrid (the talented and sweet LEGO designer) introduce the Town Hall, then we will look at it in more detail below the video. 🙂

Isn’t that awesome? The colors of the Town Hall are just gorgeous and the details are pretty sweet. I especially like the elevator! Below is the official description of the #10224 LEGO Modular Town Hall:

Keep the wheels of commerce turning with the authentic Town Hall! Build the authentic 3-story Town Hall, the latest addition to the LEGO Modular Buildings series! This highly detailed model features large entranceway columns, a coat of arms, a tall bell tower with clock and a large skylight that lets you see inside! On the ground floor, the large hall, tax office and auditorium have everything you need to run the town. Take the working elevator up to the secretary and mayor’s offices on the second floor, realistically furnished with desks, chairs, paintings and even a frog sculpture. Hold a meeting and address the town’s citizens at the podium! On the third floor, a spacious meeting room features a large conference table, chairs, globe and plants.

  • Includes 8 minifigures: mayor, secretary, bride and groom, press woman, janitor and 2 children
  • Accessories include a painting, desks, chairs, sculpture, lamp, conference table, globe, plants and bench
  • Functioning elevator features space for 2 minifigures and ladder access to roof
  • Bell tower features bench and maintenance ladder
  • Roof features skylight with view of inside the building
  • Address the citizens from the balcony!
  • Collect and build an entire town with the LEGO Modular Buildings collection: #10211 LEGO Modular Grand Emporium, #10218 LEGO Modular Pet Shop, and #10197 LEGO Modular Fire Brigade
  • Measures 10” (25.5cm) wide and 20” (50cm) high

Here are further details of the LEGO Town Hall (you can click on each of the images for a larger view):

And just to show you how big the town-hall really is, here is a shot of if next to some of the other LEGO Modular Buildings. In fact, this is the largest modular building to date! And I thought the Grand Emporium was big! 😀

One thing we haven’t talked about yet is the price. With it being the largest LEGO Modular, it also comes with the biggest price-tag: $199.99. Ouch, I know!  But if you consider the price per part ratio (with 2766 parts it comes to 7 cents), the beautiful colors and the sheer number of extremely useful elements, you would agree that this is a steal! BUY HERE

If you would like to add the Town Hall to your LEGO Modular collection, the next couple of weeks are the perfect time to get it! LEGO currently offers a double VIP point deal (March 1st-15th), so you would rake up 399 points on the Town Hall. You will also get free shipping on orders of $75 or more from March 12th through 31st, so if you wait a few days, the VIP deal and free shipping promotions will overlap for a few days. 😉

Oh, and don’t forget; there is a contest going on right now to win the LEGO Modular Town Hall! So if play-money is tight, but you don’t lack creativity, you might want to try your luck at winning one! Good luck! 🙄
