I prefer the 06 Batwing. Even comes with it's own stand! Batmobile I would dig if it was bigger, like could hold at least 2 people and was styled after the 89 movie version.

First Marvel listings and descriptions. I'm pumped!

Looking really nice! I'm really glad that one of them is a Doc Ock set, it's rather nostalgic to the old Lego Spider-man sets. Also, I'm really looking forward to the Captain America set, sounds like it will be cheap and AWESOME.

I don't know how much more awesome the X-Men set could be than what we know from the description.

Lego unveiled the LotR minifigs at the UK Toy Fair today:



I have been wanting these without really knowing it since I was in third grade. The thing that sucks is that I know these will be spread across at least three kits, most of which will be over $50.

Thanks for the photos, Switchblade! It's a shame we'll have to buy most of the sets, but from what I read from the reports from Toyfair UK, the sets are very well designed! Perhaps it's not too bad to buy most of them.

Anyhow, from Brickset, here's a list of all the first wave sets, as revealed:

9469, Gandalf Arrives: 2 minifigs: Gandalf and Frodo, Gandalf on horse and cart with fireworks and snake in the back. I think the price was £9.99.

9470, Shelob Attacks: 3 minifigs: Frodo, Samwise and Gollom! Gollum looked great, hunched over with movable arms, a bit like skeleton arms but different. Shelob the spider looks fantastic and scary!

9471, Uruk-Hai Army: 6 minifigs: Eomer, Rohan soldier and 4 Urak-Hai. The set consists of a small section of wall, a horse with moving legs and a small siege machine. The wall can be joined to the Helms Deep castle, apparently, so this will make a great battle pack to extend the castle and build your armies.

9472, Attack on Weathertop: 5 minifigs: Frodo, Merry, Aragorn and two Ringwaiths on horseback. The set builds a small section of Weathertop with spiral staircase and ruins at the top.

9473, The Mines of Moria: 7 minifigs: Pippin, Gimli, Legolas, Boromir, a cave troll and two Moria orcs. The set builds a selection of sub-assemblies for mine walls, doors, pedestals etc.

9474, The Battle of Helm's Deep: 8 minifigs: Gimli, King Theoden, Haldir, Aragorn and 4 Urak-Hai warriors. The castle itself is fairly substantial, complete with the 'side door' used to gain entry

9476, The Orc Forge: 5 orcs with a forge, various metalworking tools and weapons.

All descriptions are directly lifted from Brickset.

Thus, it seems that the sets necessary to complete the Fellowship are:

-9469, Gandalf Arrives - For Gandalf and Frodo
-9470, Shelob Attacks - For Sam (with bonus Gollum!)
-9472, Attack on Weathertop - For Aragorn and Merry (and Ringwraiths!)
-9473, The Mines of Moria - For Pippin, Legolas, Gimli and Boromir

4 sets in total, I guess I better start saving cash!

I was really hoping that the "Gandalf Arrives" set would include at least the facade for Bag End. Would have loved to see a Lego Bag End...maybe there will be some sort of Hobbiton abode in the future (I hope).

Wow, creepy, good creepy though, if there is such a thing
