New Lord of the Rings LEGO Sets are Finally Unveiled!

Lego LEGO LOTR Lord of the Rings LotR New York Toy Fair

by Max Eddy | 10:30 am, February 14th, 2012

Fresh from the New York Toy Fair come the first images of the forthcoming Lord of the Rings LEGO sets! Thankfully, the excellent From Bricks to Bothans blog was on hand to grab some images, giving us our first look at this new LEGO system. There will be plenty of new figs, custom pieces, and an all new articulated horse fig which is capable of rearing back oh so dramatically. Across the board these sets look like a lot of fun, and will surely make the modders quite happy. See pictures below.

Here’s the full list of LEGO sets:

9469 Gandalf Arrives

9470 Shelob Attacks

9471 Uruk-Hai Army

9472 Attack on Weathertop

9473 The Mines of Moria

9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep

9476 The Orc Forge

It should be noted that 9476 The Orc Forge appears to be a Target exclusive.
