Lol, I never realized that. I just flipped through the book, and there weren't riders until the Battle of Five Armies. That set is wrong!

That didn't take long. The completed listings are hitting $500. What have they given employees in the past? Just curious now that I've seen the gift this year.

They are making three movies off one book and some notes. So a lot of the next two movies probably won't really be correct.

If you want something that is 100% true to the book, then read the book.

I've heard some of the Silmarillion has been incorporated to the movie story as well.

They are, but they are using 200 pages of never published notes from the family or something crazy like that. Which honestly I think will make these better movies.

Stopped by K-Mart to use some free points that were in my reward account. Most of the aisle was wiped completely clean but they did have some new sets. A few new City sets, Creators, and The Hobbit. The Hobbit sets were on sale. Unexpected Gathering ~$53, Goblin King ~$75, and Attack of the Wargs ~$37.

I was really tempted to get the Gathering but there was only one and the box wasn't in the best shape. Ended up picking up the Fire Motorcycle which was free after my free points.

Thanks, I picked up Unexpected Gathering. I'm guessing Amazon was matching them when I saw their prices.

Would love to know as well. I want to work at a company that loves you back!!

According to eBay, 2011 was a Lego duck and 4 glasses.

And both 2008 and 2009 had boring hearts?

Who gets these? All Lego employees, including retail?

Anybody got an extra Hockey Player from series 4? He is the only fig I need to complete that set.

Last year I posted the pic of the Duck and my Glass set. The company started handing out holiday gifts in 2008 and yes they started with the Heart set. For 2009 they handed out the same gift. For 2010, they gave away an exclusive employee Game set with a kitchen utensils kit, which was extremely odd.

The gifts are given to all employees in the company.

What made them go crazy this year? All of the gifts seem nice, but this year is a whole lot bigger.

My guess is a record sales year, especially with so many sets made.

Yeah last years' was amazing and makes me wish I could have a part time job at the company. Damn stores too far away.

This year's is insane.

It seems S@H will have a "sale" of some sets at midnight eastern.

A whole 20% off!

A sale tonight?

They have a sale on sets the day after Christmas in store, whenever they stick it up on line. To clear out the older sets. Two years ago the sale was great. This year it's a joke. Toysandbricks has a huge list of crap on sale, but it's all 20% off besides some books.

The only thing that caught my eye was series 6 mini figures for 20%.

Thanks for the intel. But yeah, what a disappointing list. Either way, I'm mostly saving up for the Arkham Asylum Breakout set.

What a sweet set! I need to get Daigon Alley before it's retired, the only Harry Potter set we don't have. I recently picked up a Bat Cave for $40 at Wal-Mart, I was stoked to find it, found behind some other stuff on the clearance rack.

Wow... the some of the "sale" items haven't been in stock in months. Even a bigger joke than I thought, and 90% of the "sale" is now sold out. Not only does 20% suck, but I believe none of these sets were even ever in stock.
