Today, I’ve received my shipment of the LEGO The Hobbit Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybags (30212) from Toys R Us. I ordered them online as soon as I found out that they were available for sale. As of this writing, they are still unavailable on the TRU website. This highly sought polybag contains 27 pieces and a small instruction sheet and retails for $4.99 each.
The French LEGO Club site confirms that the LEGO Legends of Chima sets will be released December 26, 2012. With the help of Google Translate, I’ve translated the page below. This is very exciting news for people who’ve been waiting for these sets and with the release a month away, look for some of the sets to hit store shelves a little early.

LEGO on their Facebook Page has revealed a teaser for the Series 9 LEGO Collectible Minifigures. Right now they only show the backs but will be revealing more on December 3.
Update: The fronts of the minifigures are now posted.
Continuing our Hobbit set reviews, today we review one of the more interesting sets in the line, Attack of the Wargs (79002). This along with the other sets are scheduled to be released November 27, 2012 but I found them at Walmart after Black Friday. This set contains 400 pieces and retails for $49.99, which comes to $0.12/piece. You get one instruction booklet, three numbered bags, and two separately bagged Wargs.
An image of a new The Hobbit polybag has surfaced on eBay just a week after the Mirkwood Elf Guard hit the shelves at Toys R Us. A seller by the name of bucaroo is selling the new 31 piece The Hobbit Gandalf The Grey Polybag (30212) in lots of 10.
From what we can see, it is the same Gandalf minifigure as the ones we’ve seen in previous sets, which is pretty disappointing. His accessories include his staff and a map. There is also a rock formation with a torch with a spear and a sword as well as a skull and a spider on the side. We’re not sure where the selling got the polybags from or what retail store(s) will be selling this polybag yet, but my bet is that it might be at TRU stores in the near future.

The LEGO The Hobbit Escape From Mirkwood Spiders (79001) is the second smallest set in the Hobbit line. It contains 298 pieces and retails for $29.99 which is $0.10/piece. This set is one of the two Special The Hobbit Trilogy Preview Sets along with the Barren Escape (79004). The reason is because the scenes in these particular sets are not in An Unexpected Journey, but in the next movie, The Desolation of Smaug. The set contains two numbered bags and one instruction booklet.
I was at Walmart the day after Black Friday to see what was available in the LEGO section. To my surprise, I saw a pallet stocked with a few of the new Hobbit sets so I grabbed what I could, find including the first set in the series, Riddles For The Ring (79000). The set retails for $9.99 and consists of 105 pieces, about $0.10/piece. There are two un-numbered bags and one instruction booklet. In the back of the instruction book, you can also see all the minifigures in the Hobbit theme.
