Amon Hen

Finally in the Arte em Peças display we get Luis Baixinho's Amon Hen. I hope these builders go on to build scenes from the Two Towers and Return of the King.

Across the Anduin

Following along the Arte em Peças display, I've already noted Luis Baixinho's Bridge of Khazad-dûm and Mirror of Galadriel, so next we have Sam and Frodo by ?.

I have no memory of this place

Gandalf is perplexed in Pedro Sequeira's I have no memory of this place.

Ford of the Bruinen

Next up in the Arte em Peças display is someone's (who?) Ford of the Bruinen.

Escape

Next in the Arte em Peças display is NaNeto's escape from Orthanc.

Prancing Pony

Back to the Arte em Peças display, I've previously blogged Naneto's Long Expected Party and Luis' Buckleberry Ferry, so the next stop for our heroes is the Prancing Pony by Naneto.

Rivendell

Mandrakesarecool2 built this Rivendell. You can see more details on this YouTube video.

Bag End

Here's Luis Baixinho's Bag End from that Arte em Peças display.

Arte em Peças

Participants in the Arte em Peças gathering last month put together a great Tolkien display.

Azog

Supposedly a LEGO designer has confirmed that the Azog fig will be included in a future set, though in a different color than the Comic-Con exclusive. Here are some Azog customs:

Lake-town Chase, Azog

Yesterday LEGO revealed the upcoming set Lake-town Chase. It will come out in December and cost US$50. In a video they say that there will be five sets for the Desolation of Smaug. I'm assuming that this is in addition to the Spiders and Barrel Escape sets that have already come out. Also in that video you can see that this set is mostly normal brown - the color balance seems off in the set photo. In other news, I suppose I should spend a moment on the exclusive Azog fig. On second thought I think that this will have to be included in an upcoming set. The fig includes two new molds, and there's no way they would do that just for a promotional giveaway. Perhaps the fig that comes out in some future set will have a different torso print, and it will certainly not have the Comic-Con packaging, but I'm sure we'll get an Azog sooner or later.

You shall not pass

Squirrel edition by Automaton Pictures. Oh, in other news, there's a really cool fig at Comic-Con that you can't get.

Gandalf at Weathertop

Pif500 shows us Gandalf at Weathertop.

San Diego Comic-Con exclusive

It looks like this microscale Bag End is exclusively available to Comic-Con attendees. On ComicBricks I complained about exclusives, as they are pretty much impossible to get without paying outrageous prices on ebay, but this one doesn't bother me. The Bilbo fig is available in two sets already, and I think the micro Bag End could be reasonably approximated with most people's existing collections. So the only people who really need this set are completist collectors.

Barad-dûr

MSP! built Barad-dûr.

Middle Earth

Sharon Vance displayed this amazing Middle Earth at BrickWorld.

Long Expected Party

NaNeto built the Long Expected Party.

Citadel of Minas Tirith

Members of the Czech group Kotsky.org are putting on a massive display that will be up for the next couple of months. If you are anywhere in central Europe you should try to check it out. There are a ton of amazing castles and other MOCs, but the reason for being on this blog is this huge Citadel of Minas Tirith.

Argonath

Someone (who?)John Gondol displayed this MOC of the Argonath at BrickFiesta.

Barad-dûr

Warhawk built this Barad-dûr. He shows it here next to his Orthanc - both built at the same scale, so you can see the vast difference between the towers.

The Argonath of Liberty

I didn't see this a couple of days ago, but for the Fourth of July, Automaton Pictures posted The Argonath of Liberty .

Three Hunters

Pif500 built the Three Hunters.

Rivendell

Kyle Peterson displayed this Rivendell recently at BrickWorld.
