$20- bree: small room in the prancing pony, with strider, frodo, merry, sam, and pippin.

$20- the fellowship begins- frodo, gandalf, aragorn, hobbits, legolas, gimli, and boromir at the council of elrond.

$30- drums in the deep- 2 goblins, gandalf, frodo, legolas, aragorn, and gimli with some dreary backdrop.

$40- the Balrog- the balrog (of course) gandalf, aragorn, and two goblin archers on the bridge and maybe a little landing for archers

$the generic 90 dollar set; Amon Hen: Lurtz, Aragorn, boromir (with swith around dead & alive head) legolas, hobbits, gimli, and like 2 or three uruk hai. throw some trees in and yer done.

This post should be in "LEGO".

And LEGO will never get another licence for a long time. But I wish they got a LOTR one or at least Hobbit.

sry bout that. yea but its okay to dream right? lol

[Sz_2cool4u2b]

Yes, they so should have gotten a LOTR on

If I may tweak a bit:


FoTR:
$7-Gandalf's return: gandalf with frodo & horse w/ cart and some misc bricks for frieworks in the back

$10- drums in the deep: The well, and the book, with Gandalf, Pippin, Merry.

$15- Prancing Pony: The entrance and some tables + fireplace. Merry, Pippin, Butterbur and a Wraith.

$20- Strider and the Wraiths: small room in the prancing pony, with Strider, Frodo, Sam, Ringwraith

$20- Cave Troll. The doors, the cave troll, Boromir, 2 Goblin warriors

$40- Balin's Tomb. Balin's Tomb, with scattered debris, secret trapdoors, etc. Comes with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and 4 Goblin warriors

$40- Rivendell. A small part of Elrond's home, the shrine of Narsil, and a council area that can attach. Elrond, Frodo, Aragorn, Boromir, Arwen.

$50- The Battle of Khazad-dum. Balrog, bridge of K-D, Gandalf, and 2 goblin archers.

$80- The Seeing Seat: The Seeing seat, on a brick-sculpted hill and baseplate. Various brick trees. Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, Lurtz, 3 Uruk warriors.

$20- Saruman's Plan: The main room of Orthanc. Palantir on plinth, Saruman, Lurtz, 2 uruk hai.


I think this cuts down on repetitive frodos and aragorns, and is distributed more the way Lego would (though, there are too many $20 sets for one release. Had to fit army builders in there though.) Also tried to fit wraiths in.


TTT:

$7- Heroes Return: Eomer, with his gear and a horse, and Gandalf the White with his horse.

$10- Gollum and the hobbits: Gollum, Frodo, Sam, rocks.

$10- New Alliance: includes a man and an elf, along with a small, vignette-like portion of the wall. (probably 8-10 bricks tall, 8 studs wide)

$20- Edoras Throne: obvious setting, with Aragorn, Gandalf, Wormtongue, and Head-spinning Theoden.

$20- Helm's Deep Royalty: The room in Helm's Deep with Theoden, Gamling (movie version), and 2 Rohan Royal Guards.

$30- Saruman's Machines: The Uruk Hai Ballista and Siege ladder, comes with 4 or 5 Uruks.

$40- The Wall: A simple, but tall portion of the front curved wall. Features Rock-dropping action, secret doors, ramp. Aragorn, Gimli, Haldir, an elf and a rohirrim.

$50- The Entmoot: Merry, Pippin, Treebeard, and 2 other ents, along with boulders, and 3 orcs. (entmoot is a better, less violent name than "Ents dish out a bushwacking!" don't you think? )

$90- Osgiliath under siege: Ruined town center of Osgiliath. Faramir, Madril (grey haired ranger), 2 Warriors of Gondor, Ringwraith, Fell beast.

very nice padawan. yea i tried to cut down on frodos but his crying little face is in every scene! I was thinking the exact same thing for the small portion of the wall thing like from new knights kingdom and the sam, frodo, and gollum thing. nice job and thanks for advice on $20 sets.

I just would have expected LEGO to do that, it's the perfect thing.

But they had to give up on licenses...

Well I don't think mom's and dad's would buy LEGO sets for there 7 year old that's from a 14A movie.

well RotS has a pg-13 rating.

[Sz_2cool4u2b]

Oh, yeah.

Ha!

That is really nothing compared to Obi-Juan-Kenobi:

I made some to but not as good.

I think that if LEGO were to do LOTR they would do it based on the books, or at least they should. If they were to do LEGO based on a movie it would be the Hobbit.

well RotS has a pg-13 rating.

But SW has hardly any blood. LOTR has a boat full of blood! And I own all three.

Yes, Saber-Scorpion tends to be overrated. There's Obi-Juan, there's also BrickTales: www.ozbricks.com/bricktales/lotr/lotrmain.html

I don't mean any offense to him, it just gets on my nerves when people name him when there are others who have done it better and before him...

I agree. People think he's like a god or something.
