Brilliant. Ever since I first purchased Star Wars Lego and the games I thought that Lego LOTR would be the ultimate idea. I guess they are bringing out Lego LOTR before The Hobbit films so that they will have LOTR lego for already fans, and Hobbit lego later on as people become new fans, and so it will be already available. Hopefully The Hobbit will bring people a lot closer to Middle Earth and further popularise it. As a collector of Game's Workshop's LOTR Strategy Battle Game figures, I hope that they will be bringing out some new things too, and LOTR SBG may become more popular as well.
