Update: As many of you have noted, these appear to be fan-made creations -- awesome fan-made creations, but fan-made nonetheless. I was admittedly a little confused why Lego would release sets from the second movie so early, but the site's in French so I couldn't tell they were fan-made. My apologies, guys. Here's hoping the real sets are as good.

I'm pretty sure gollum won't have a head that looks like it'll glow in the dark. And also be far less terrifying than whatever abomination that is!
alas, these are actually too good to be true. Could you imagine what they would charge at lego if they ever released something like that huge hall scene with that many minifigures? Legos actual LOTR sets are pretty basic (as cool as they still are) compared to these beasts. Smaug is a work of sheer brilliance too. This builder is amazing.
You can find pictures of the preliminary versions of the actual sets coming out this summer here:http://www.igeektrooper.com/20... . For now, they're only doing scenes from LOTR, and I imagine hobbit sets will come out at the end of the year, close to the movie.
why Why WHY didn't they have this shit when I WAS A KID!!?? IT'S SO FUCKING UNFAIR!! AAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Holy crap, can you imagine how much those sets would cost if they were real? The dragon attacking a whole town? All that damn treasure in the dragon's cave?
I do like the blood trickling down the rock in "The Clouds Burst"... :)
I really hope the actual Lord of the Rings Lego sets are better than the one pictured here, because really: it's a rock. Someone built a big rock out of Legos, and you're squeeing about it all the same.
The trebuchet is pretty damn awesome though, as are the town being attacked by a dragon and what I assume is Tom Bombadil's house.
fanlegos - the comicsnix edition. they still haven't perfected the legocramming technique though
Why does Bilbo still have his baggage? The goblins stole it when they were captured! *grumble, grumble, Hobbit fangrumble*
I looked a bit closely at the "Riddles in the Dark" photo, and it looks like the Gollum minifig has Voldemort's head. I think it might be a fanmade creation.
I'm not so sure. If you look closely, you'll see a Hagrid mini figure from Harry Potter and some Star Wars figures as well. I'm hoping these are real, as the attention to detail and especially texture is incredible. However, I'm highly skeptical.
It looks like they put a Glow in the Dark Voldemort head onto a Star Wars droid body for Gollum...And it still looks friggen awesome!
Because the news story is a bit vague on it I want to say that those are MOCs or My Own Creations. Which is Lego fanboy speak for custom made sets. These aren't official sets from the LEGO line.
Holy crap, they've actually made Gollum look MORE freaky.
Please, please, PLEASE give us the news a Lego LOTR video game is coming in the next year!
