That was a really cool line that unfortunately I didn't get anything from. I kept wanting the glow-in-the-dark ghosts but the sets they came in were the most expensive.

Never saw that mummy set before though, that looks great! The skeleton horse makes it worth it.

I'm hoping the line stays around for the long term so that there can be a 12th Doctor figure on the sad, hopefully distant day when Matt Smith leaves.

I really hope this line sticks around, it's been a lot of fun to collect and they're not that expensive too. I'm appreciating that they're diving into older series, I'm hoping we get more Classic series characters eventually.

I also kind of hate how Lego spreads all the important minifigs across multiple sets so that you can't get the full Fellowship of the Ring without buying at least four kits, two of which are over $50.

I gave up buying the Fellowship. It was already bad enough in past series like Harry Potter and The Avengers to get the full teams, but the Fellowship really took the cake. I briefly considered the completing Thorin's company but it seems like a futile endeavor at this point. It's a shame, the LOTR/Hobbit sets are some of the best licensed stuff in years! I still plan to get the Bag End set someday, it's far too gorgeous to miss. However, the $110 price tag in Australia is giving me pause for now.
