My first instinct was that it isn't as impressive as I hoped it would be, but the images kind of lack scale right now so I'm reserving judgement. The press release, after all, confirms that it is 73cm in height. Over 2 feet tall!

July! Why July?! Why not tomorrow?!?!

That actually looks like a set that you can modify and add a few more levels. The bottom two sections look like they could be duplicated to add extra height. But you will need more Ents.

Reports from Lego Stores that VIP members will have early access, just like the Palace Cinema earlier in the year. So it might be the last week of June.

Love the Umbar ship set. And is that a Peter Jackson mini-fig I spy?

I love all those sets. I wanted tower so much, but I am very financially restricted at the moment. Had to move, paying out PS4 before release, not getting as much hours at work as I did last few months too.
I dont really want to spend money on Orc forge to finish my Lotr fisrt wave of sets. ( I know it is discontinues now too )
Lego is damn expensive Hobby

Some images of 2014 Desolation of Smaug are available.

Emmmm I know I got a whole Lotr Series 1 sets and a few original Hobit ones, but these new ones suck...

Its a random construction and lots of minifigs. Looks like they are getting closer to just doing Minifig packs and not lego sets.
