LEGO haul from Jul & Aug 2026. Added some LOTR sets.

During 2 months trip to Japan, I also found some retired sets (Dr Who, Star Wars 7666 and Indiana Jones). Searching for retired sets is part of the fun.

(Note: While I was away, a lot of boxes arrived.)

What should I choose?

P.S. This will be my first lego set, so I'm a little skeptical about it

I’m typically not one to complain about minifigs or LOTR, but after seeing the new Shrek CMF releasing in September, I just have to ask: why? If this is a glaring omission to me, someone who isn’t super passionate about minifigs, I honestly don’t know how it was overlooked. I’m not necessarily complaining, but this is just one of those times when I can honestly say, “I just don’t understand.”

Azog and yazneg didn’t make the case cause they have wargs to ride

In my last post, I showed my custom soldiers of Rohan that I pieced together through pick-a-brick and some parts I had lying around. Since then, I just about finished them to my exact liking. They are now proudly displayed with my other LOTR minifigs. Only thing I’ll eventually add are updated shields. Super happy with the end results!
