LEGO The Hobbit sends players of all ages on an unforgettable interactive journey through the first two films in The Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the upcoming The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug. Players will follow Bilbo Baggins as he is recruited by the Wizard Gandalf to aid Thorin Oakenshield and his Company of Dwarves. Bilbo leaves the comforts of the Shire on a journey through Middle-earth to help the Dwarves reclaim their lost Kingdom of Erebor within the Lonely Mountain. Along the way, he is introduced to ravenous Trolls, dangerous Orcs and, of course, Gollum and his precious Ring. Players will utilize and combine the Dwarves’ unique abilities — often with hilarious results — to solve the most diverse Quests of any LEGO videogame to date.

It all started with PIXAR-animator and LEGO-fan Angus McLane uploading over one hundred of his brick-built LEGO figures on Flickr towards the end of 2009. He called them CubeDudes. The stocky, adorable, and easily recognizable characters became instant favorites and everyone started building their own versions of CubeDudes. The LEGO CubeDudes became so popular that LEGO collaborated with Angus to release two special LEGO CubeDude sets (both Star Wars themed) available only at Star Wars and comics conventions.
Although the CubeDude-mania cooled off, building CubeDudes remains an excellent way to challenge yourself and expand your LEGO building skills. CubeDudes don’t require you to have a large LEGO collection, but they teach you interesting and advanced building skills – usually only available in large and complex LEGO sets. They are kind of like a puzzle, and once you get a hang of the design-concept, you can create your own CubeDudes. From then on, only your own imagination is the limit… So how do you star building CubeDudes if you don’t own one of the limited-edition CubeDude LEGO sets? Fortunately members at Brickset reverse-engineered the CubeDude characters included in the sets and made the instructions available for download. These instructions will allow you build your first CubeDudes. (You can download the PDF instruction by clicking on the images below.) Once you build a few CubeDudes, I would recommend you head over to Angus’ Flickr gallery to check out his other designs. H
e has CubeDudes characters from movies, cartoons, comics, games, etc. There is also a LEGO CubeDudes Group Gallery where other people share their CubeDudes. I’m sure you will get some ideas of what you would like to build next. 😉 And if you feel like you missed out and would like to get the limited edition CubeDude sets, you can usually find some listed on eBay. There are also listings for some pretty nice custom Cube Dudes you might like: Do you have your own CubeDude designs? You can share them in the comment section below. We would love to see them! 🙂 Halloween 2012A Hobbit Halloween : Un film en Lego pour fêter Halloween !

Encore plus d'actu sur Halloween 2012Une citrouille en jeu Tetris pour Halloween 2012 !LEGO the Lord of the Rings is a licensed theme of the popular toy company. It appealed to both LEGO and the Lord of the Rings fans over the past two years. Unfortunately it looks like there will be no more LEGO LotR construction sets, while there is still so much left to explore. Please help us raise awareness to save LEGO LotR. Back in 2011 the LEGO Group (TLG) announced the multi-year agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products to turn the characters and locations of the Lord of the Rings into the plastic toy we all know and love.
Finally this popular franchise would be made into LEGO construction sets. “not only because we know they will foster collectability and creative play, but also because these are two properties that our fans have been asking us to create for years" These fans have been getting fantastic LEGO LotR sets from the summer of 2012 until June 2013, depicting scenes from all three movies: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Aside from being popular among children, the introduction of this theme has also drawn many AFOL’s (Adult Fan Of LEGO) back to their favorite childhood toy, commonly referred to as: ‘returning from their Dark Ages". But now the future of LEGO LotR looks rather dark itself. With no new sets for over a year and the LEGO Hobbit theme ending in October 2014, closely followed by the last Hobbit movie (The Battle of the Five Armies) this December, chances for LEGO LotR sets are close to non-existent. To many of us the LEGO LotR theme feels incomplete.
This is due to the lack of several major characters, creatures, buildings and locations. Some of the most striking oversights are LEGO versions of the complete Gondor faction, the city of Minas Tirith, the Balrog of Moria, the Witch-King with his iconic helmet and several important characters like Éowyn and Faramir. Even Sauron, the main villain of the story, doesn’t have his own depiction in LEGO form. Many fans would love this theme to continue forever, but a lot of us feel that most of the gaps could be filled with just one last wave. Only one last batch of sets could deal with the most important characters, settings and stories that are now left out.
In this manner TLG could complete this theme in a proper way to honour the Lord of the Rings franchise and satisfy fans of both LEGO and the Lord of the Rings. If you love LEGO and if you like the Lord of the Rings, please take your time to sign this petition. It only takes a minute. Let the world now what LEGO LotR meant for you and why you want it to continue.
