    Good news everyone.
    http://www.brothers-brick.com/2011/12/16/lego-to-pick-up-lord-of-the-rings-and-hobbit-licenses-news/
    Warner Bros. Consumer Products and The LEGO Group announced today a partnership that awards the world’s leading construction toy brand exclusive rights to develop build-and-play construction sets based on THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ trilogy and the two films based on THE HOBBIT™. The multi-year licensing agreement grants access to the library of characters, settings, and stories for THE LORD OF THE RINGS property, as well as films The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again. LEGO® THE LORD OF THE RINGS construction sets are slated for a rolling global launch beginning in June 2012 in the United States, with LEGO THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY scheduled for later in the year.

    They are currently out in America, and initially they were meant to be August/September here, but it looks promising for an earlier time of maybe June/July as far as I know.
