It’s been a slow LEGO news week, but just in time for the weekend images of a trio of previously-unseen sets have leaked out! We first saw rumor lists months ago of the upcoming Fall/Winter 2013 LEGO The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug sets, but the only set to have any images at all revealed up until now was the LEGO The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Lake-Town Chase set that was first shown this summer at San Diego Comic Con 2013. However, at long last, the remaining three LEGO The Hobbit 2013 sets have appeared!

LEGO The Hobbit Lake-Town Chase 79013 Box 2013 Sets

Though LEGO collectors got their first gander at one of the LEGO The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug sets at San Diego Comic Con 2013 back in July, there hasn’t been so much as a nibble to tide LEGO Tolkien fans over ever since. But the wait is at an end, and while there are no new LEGO The Hobbit Fall 2013 sets to see yet, new photos have leaked of the one set LEGO already showed off at SDCC 2013, including the box art for the LEGO The Hobbit Lake-Town Chase 79013 set!

LEGO SDCC 2013 Green Arrow & Azog Minifigure Price MADNESS!

2013 SDCC LEGO Azog Minifigure Exclusive

Move over Mr. Gold! There’s a new king of the LEGO Minifigures mountain, and it’s a real shocker! Given away for free to some lucky attendees at San Diego Comic Con 2013 last week was an ultra-limited LEGO The Hobbit Azog Minifigure. The minifigure was given away randomly, and couldn’t even be won by raffle like the LEGO Super Heroes could. The result? The most expensive LEGO Minifigure yet–the LEGO Azog Minifigure is now selling for $1500+ on ebay! But while Agog may be the new king, LEGO Green Arrow and friends can’t exactly be considered “cheap” either…

Along with all of the exclusives, non-exclusives, and 2014 LEGO sets being shown for the very first time at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, there’s also a lone late 2013 set making its debut. That’s right–we still haven’t seen all of the 2013 LEGO sets yet! You see, many of us LEGO fans are forgetting that the LEGO The Hobbit sets release during the holiday period of each year. As such, here’s our first gander at one of the Winter 2013 Hobbit LEGO gets: the LEGO The Hobbit Lake Town Chase set!

SDCC 2013 LEGO Exclusives! Micro Bag End & Mini Jek-14 Starfighter!

SDCC 2013 LEGO Star Wars Mini Jek-14 Stealth Starfighter

I know a lot of LEGO collectors (including me) are feeling pretty burned by the quartet of LEGO Superheroes Minifigures that are ultra-limited San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusives this week. Well, prepare to feel just a little bit more anger/jealousy, because in addition to those LEGO minifigures being given out at SDCC 2013, there are two more previously unannounced exclusives being sold at the show: a LEGO The Hobbit Micro Bag End and a LEGO Star Wars Mini Jek-14 Stealth Starfighter!

LEGO Orthanc and Treebeard Ent on Display at LEGO Stores

2013 is a year of monstrously large LEGO sets (with monstrously large prices to match), and among the largest of them all is the just-released LEGO Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc 10237. Though I’ll be picking this set up a bit later this year (I need to space out my aforementioned monstrously large LEGO set purchases), I was bursting with curiosity as to exactly how good the LEGO Orthanc set looked in person. So this week I decided to head to one of my local LEGO Stores to see the LEGO 10237 Tower of Orthanc in person, and I decided to take some photos so everyone else could bask in its glory as well…

LEGO Lord of the Rings The Council of Elrond Review 79006

LEGO 79006 The Council of Elrond Set Complete Lord of the Rings 2013

When I first heard the rumors that LEGO was going to release a Lord of the Rings Council of Elrond set this year, immediately I started having visions of a huge, sprawling LEGO Rivendell set dancing in my head (about the size of the newly announced LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village). When I actually had the opportunity to see the actual LEGO Council of Elrond set at Toy Fair 2013 and saw how dinky it was, my heart broke. But now that I’ve had a chance to build the LEGO Lord of the Rings Council of Elrond 79006, I have to admit that while it may not be epic, it does have its charms…

Pirate Ship Ambush LEGO LOTR 2013 Summer Set

The fourth and final of the LEGO Lord of the Rings Summer 2013 sets is also the biggest LOTR set of the year–it’s the LEGO Lord of the Rings Pirate Ship Ambush 79008! Though the pirate ship gets limited screen time in the Return of the King movie, it has a unique design and some compelling opportunities for minifigures that could be included with it that LEGO has capitalized on. Fans who have been waiting patiently (or impatiently) for LEGO Army of the Dead and Peter Jackson minifigure are going to be very, very pleased with this set…

But coming up this summer, LEGO has found a way to recreate one of the most crazy Lord of the Rings battles in LEGO form in one cheap, beautiful little set. As part of the Summer 2013 wave of LEGO Lord of the Rings sets, it’s LEGO The Wizard Battle 79005…
