It is December which means that a new wave of The Hobbit themed sets are now available. There are a total of 4 sets mainly focusing on Dol Guldur. It would have been nice to see a little bit more of Mirkwood or even Beorn’s home. Maybe future sets will fill in some of these gaps. Lake Town Chase is the star of this wave.

Lego Legolas and Tauriel are desperately fighting a group of evil Mirkwood spiders when Legolas’s biggest nightmare comes true. He is in the friend zone. What else is there to do then bury your feelings in a plate of Radagast’s Red Velvet Pancake Puppies®.
Legolas Gets Friendzoned is the creation of the Brotherhood Workshop, and features some extremely well made sets. The Lego Dennys is especially nice. Everything has good voice work and spot on lighting. These Lego stop motion videos keeping getting better and better.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is almost here. Which means we are hitting the peak of The Hobbit fever. BrotherhoodWorkshop went and made the original teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and reshot it, scene for scene in Lego. These type of videos represent a whole lot of work, with many unique Lego scenes and minifigures. The best are almost not noticeable.
For reference check out the original (non-Lego) trailer:
To see exactly how close the Lego Teaser Trailer is to the original Teaser Trailer, make sure to watch this side by side video:
There is still time to catch up on The Hobbit trilogy. Amazon has the first film on Blu-ray
Thorin And Company.
“If any of the Wise should with this Ring overthrow the Lord of Mordor, using his own arts, he would then set himself on Sauron’s throne, and yet another Dark Lord would appear. And that is another reason why the Ring should be destroyed: as long as it is in the world it will be a danger even to the Wise. For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so. I fear to take the Ring to hide it. I will not take the Ring to wield it.” — Elrond, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
The Council Of Elrond is one of the most important scenes in the Lord of the Rings. This diplomatic meeting lays out the plans and sets up the events that would lead to the destruction of the One Ring. Lego has recently released an official set based on The Council of Elrond
