Lego Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Toys Announced

Posted on December 16, 2011 at 8:48 am by Joe Moore under Lego Toy News

Warner Bros and Lego have released news that they will be releasing Lego toys based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies. Check out the press release below:

Warner Bros. Consumer Products and The LEGO Group Build on Partnership to Produce Construction Toys for THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ Trilogy and the Two Films Based on THE HOBBIT

-Building Sets Based on Epic Film Trilogy and Forthcoming Theatrical Release Slated for 2012-

BILLUND, Denmark and Burbank, CA – December 16, 2011 – 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.

“Only LEGO, with their expertise in the construction category, is capable of doing justice to the incredibly imaginative environments depicted in the world of THE LORD OF THE RINGS and the two films based on THE HOBBIT,” said Karen McTier, executive vice president, domestic licensing and worldwide marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products. “These films give life to amazing worlds and characters and we are thrilled to bring fans these products that deliver an imaginative play experience befitting of these beloved properties.”

The LEGO THE LORD OF THE RINGS collection will translate into LEGO form the epic locations, scenes and characters of Middle-earth as depicted in all three films, including The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

In late 2012, LEGO THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY will give fans of all ages a chance to build and play out the fantastical story and new characters of the legendary Middle-earth adventures depicted in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey from Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson, slated to premiere December 14, 2012.

“Our collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products has delivered numerous worldwide successes in the construction toy aisle with lines like LEGO HARRY POTTER and LEGO BATMAN, introducing us to loyal audiences who love great stories, strong characters and the toys that they inspire,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group. “It’s particularly exciting to now be able to create sets based on the fantasy worlds and characters from THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy and the two films based on THE HOBBIT, not only because we know they will foster collectability and creative play, but also because these are two properties that our fans have been asking us to create for years.”

Information about the sets and collectible minifigures from both collections will be unveiled at a later date at TheLordoftheRings.LEGO.com.

    This is great news for Lego and LOTR fans! Lego Barad-dur anyone?

    And look to Traveler's Tales to possible (and most likely) make some Lego LOTR and Hobbit video games now!

    Let's hope this is as good as what fans have already made.

    The possibility of LOTR/Hobbit Lego games is most intriguing. I would not mind that at all.

    YES! Bring on the TT games!

    This has been on my want list for a while now! (Here's hoping we'll get a DCU game, and a Marvel U game, too)

    It's great news.

    Lego has been doing some pretty cool fantasy related stuff with their minifigures so I'm really interested in how good the Lord of the Rings sets and mini-figures will look. As easy as Lego figures are to customize and some great 3rd party accessories out there to go with Lego figures there should be tons of cool stuff to build.

    Now if I could just build cool stuff like some of the insanely skilled and creative fans build.

    Kudos to Lego for getting the rights to another IP. At this rate, Lego will eventually build the ultimate Geek multiverse in toy form.

    Must resist another toy line....must...resist....

    It was the first thing to pop in my head too, but you beat everyone to it.

    How about a full rendition of the Lego-ized inscription?

    One Brick to rule them all, We seek to find them,
    One Brick to build them all and in the darkness buy them.

    oh crap
    I just realized

    What if Lord of the Rings ends up becoming a perminant fixture at Legoland. you go there, and theres a big 20 foot tall Tower with Sauron on it made of legos. Oh man, must go.

    as Mike Myers playing Dieter said on Sprockets on SNL. "I adore lego, they are a million toys in one"

    For someone who has gone to great lengths as a kid to make his own LOTR legos, this is an absolute, mind-blowing dream come true.

    Ooo... now that they have the license please gawd, let them make a LOTR Lego game... that would be so epic.

    The next one is Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes and the one after that I think is Lego Toy Story... so maybe next year they can do the LOTR one.
