Bilbo and his company of cheerful dwarves managed to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the vicious and cunning dragon, Smaug. While the dwarves stayed, Bilbo went back to his Hobbit-Hole to care take of his lovely garden. We hope you’ve had lots of fun playing with the LEGO® The Hobbit™ sets! Bilbo’s adventure may be over, but yours doesn’t have to be! You can still explore Middle-Earth and play as Lord of the Rings characters in LEGO DIMENSIONS™!The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is the second movie in The Hobbit trilogy. Sets based on this movie are expected late 2013, two sets however have been released with the The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey wave in 2012. After climbing down the Carrock, Thorin's company encounters the bear form of a charging skin-changer named Beorn. Gandalf urges the company to seek refuge in a nearby house, which happens to be the abode of Beorn's human-form. After admitting hating Orcs more than he does Dwarves, Beorn loans his horses to the company so that they can outrun the pursuing Orcs.
Meanwhile, Azog, the leader of the Orcs, is summoned to Dol Guldur where he is given command of an orc army. He then gives his son, Bolg, the task of hunting the dwarves. Gandalf departs before the others enter the forest of Mirkwood, urging Bilbo and the dwarves to follow the path and to wait for him before entering the mountain. After losing their way in the forest, the dwarves are captured by giant spiders. Bilbo, with the help of the One Ring, manages to free them from the webs of the spiders. However, while fighting the attacking spiders, the dwarves are captured by the Wood-elves. Later, Tauriel, a female elf, becomes enamoured with Kíli, evoking feelings of jealousy within Legolas, the son of the Elvenking, Thranduil. Under the cloak of his ring, Bilbo steals the keys and helps the dwarves to escape from the Elf Kingdom using empty wine barrels that float down the river. Along the way, they are attacked by the Orcs lead by Bolg, who had been lying in wait. While trying to open the river gate, Kíli is injured by a poisoned orc arrow, fired by Bolg.
Shortly after, Bilbo and the company meet Bard, a bowman and descendant of the original Lord of Dale, who was waiting to collect the empty barrels in his river barge. Pooling their coins to bribe Bard to smuggle them inside Lake-town, the gang are eventually captured by the Master of the Town when they try to steal battle-worthy weaponry. After Thorin convinces the townfolk and Master that they will share the riches of the recaptured mountain, the adventurers receive a grand send-off. Óin, Fíli, and Bofur stay behind to attempt to heal Kíli. Meanwhile, the Elvenking learns from a captured orc that the dark lord has returned, and so decides to seal off the Elf Kingdom to protect it from the impending evil. However, Tauriel leaves to help the injured Kíli and a concerned Legolas gives chase. At the Lonley Mountain, Bilbo deciphers the Last Light of Durin's Day clue and uses the moonlight to find the hidden keyhole that opens the secret door into the mountain. After entering, Bilbo attempts to steal the Arkenstone by himself, but is discovered by the awakened dragon, Smaug.
Gandalf, after sending Radagast away with a message for Galadriel, knowingly steps into the orc-ambushed Dol Guldur and engages the Necromancer in a fierce battle that ends with Gandalf's capture. Bard and his son leave to hide the last Black Arrow; the only thing that can kill Smaug. But Bard is arrested while his son still finds a place to hide the arrow. But at Bard's house, Óin, Fíli, Bofur and Bard's daughters are attacked by Bolg and the orcs. The elf pair of Legolas and Tauriel arrive in the nick of time to fight off the attacking orcs before splitting up: Tauriel stays with Óin, Fíli, and Bofur to attend to Kíli, while Legolas chases after Bolg and the retreating orcs. Eventually, the dwarves enter the mountain to rescue Bilbo. Tricking the fire-breathing Smaug into rekindling the forge using his his own flames, they attempt to kill the dragon by drowning him in molten gold. However, Smaug stumbles out of the mountain and takes to the air, shaking off the gold-coating.
Bilbo watches in horror as Smaug flies toward Lake-Town to wreak havoc and to seek revenge...
