Because everybody needs another Bilbo minifigure

Totally off the radar here, but apparently the "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is rapidly approaching its retail release date. I must admit that I missed this one in the theaters, mainly because I just can't seem to sit in a movie theater for three hours anymore. I always feel like I'm wasting money when I have to get up and leave for even just a few minutes.*

Anywho, the Target version of the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack will come packaged with an exclusive Bilbo Baggins minifgure. Behold, bask in his tiny glory.

Bag End and Rancor Pit revealed

San Diego Comic Con is in full swing, and LEGO looks like it will be using the opportunity to give us a glimpse at what 2013 holds in store. First up is a set that I'm pretty sure many people have been looking forward to ever since the Lord of the Rings/Hobbit line was introduced. It's Bag End, the home of Bilbo and (later on) Frodo Baggins.

I love it. You get a range of great figures and a very awesome looking little hobbit hole. I'll be curious to see what the interior looks like, but it better include a kitchen!
