LEGO The Hobbit Good Morning Bilbo Minifigure Exclusive Revealed!

If there’s one thing that LEGO collectors well and truly love, it’s exclusive LEGO minifigures that you have to buy an expensive product like a video game to acquire, right? (Right…?). LEGO sure seems to think so, because hot on the heels of the LEGO Movie video game being released with a variety of different exclusive LEGO Movie minifigures, LEGO has announced the next video game tie-in figure. Coming exclusively with Gamestop purchases of the LEGO The Hobbit video game–the LEGO Good Morning Bilbo minifigure!

LEGO The Hobbit Good Morning Bilbo Baggins LEGO Minifigure GameStop Exclusive

I was watching The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition Blu Ray with my wife a few weeks ago, and I realized that, more than any of the dwarves or supporting characters in the film, the thing I most wanted a toy of from the movie was the Bilbo Baggings Bathrobe. See, Bilbo Baggins’ dressing gown just may be the most silly, visually funny thing in either of the first two The Hobbit moves by Peter Jackson–and if there’s one thing that I absolutely can’t resist, it’s the silly and offbeat.

Someone at LEGO must have heard my unspoken prayer, because today GameStop stores officially announced the LEGO minifigure that will be given away free to customers who pre-order this spring’s LEGO The Hobbit video game–a LEGO The Hobbit Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure wearing the beloved bathrobe/dressing gown from the first film!

The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins Dressing Gown Bathrobe ScreenshotThe LEGO The Hobbit video game with exclusive LEGO Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure is now available for pre-order from Gamestop, and will be released in April 2014. Given how expensive past video game exclusive minifigures have ended up being on the aftermarket, it might be a good idea to pre-order the LEGO Hobbit video game just to get the Bathrobe Bilbo minifigure and sell off the video game immediately.

How do you like the hilarious, grin-inducing Good Morning Bilbo LEGO minifigure, LEGO fans? Will you be pre-ordering the LEGO Hobbit video game to obtain this sure-to-be-coveted Bilbo Baggins variant?
