Thankfully, the environmental challenges and enemies are sophisticated enough to keep the action engaging.In comparison to the roster in last year’s Lego Marvel game, many of the characters in the Hobbit feel like, at best, minor variations of each other.

A few different rhythm-based challenges, an item creation system tied to resource collection, and the “find the missing piece” mini-game from February’s Lego Movie game make The Hobbit more than just a button masher, although it is still mostly just that. This makes for a very consistent group project, while still letting each builder’s individual style shine through, and making each creation a great stand-alone build.Lego The Hobbit clings to the series’ standard combat and exploration, but, as usual, a handful of welcome twists make things a bit more interesting this time around. The project consists of dioramas of varying sizes and styles, although modern castle-themed builds tend to have moderately standardized techniques and styles in the fan community. The massive collaborative project includes 10 builders and 13 creations depicting different locations and events of the Third Age of the Sun. Over the years, we’ve seen multiple collaborative projects appear both as online galleries and convention displays however, we think this latest initiative is among the most impressive. Indeed, LEGO builders have been finding inspiration there for a very long time, in the recent years even more so with the support of the official LEGO themes based on the movies. Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle-earth, best known from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit books and films, has shaped much of modern fantasy. Elias perfectly demonstrates that when building something with a small number of parts, use the best parts. I found the small waterfalls very impressive, using Hero Factory claw pieces which perfectly hug the large wedge used as a cliff. The battle droid torso also works very well, since its skeletal nature represents the open-air feel of those buildings. It is the Red Book of Westmarch, the book that Bilbo Baggins wrote during his retirement in Rivendell. I love the way Elias uses books as the angled roofs, and one stickered book is actually very fitting here. While the elven buildings are tiny among the large cliffs, they are instantly recognisable thanks to clever parts usage. Tolkien’s famous books The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, it appears as a sanctuary, a last respite to characters who are on a journey into “the wilderness.” Builder Elias (Brickleas) built the Last Homely House in all its peaceful glory in microscale in just 100 LEGO parts. Rivendell – the mention of the name already evokes a feeling of home. And naturally, there are quite a few Tolkien references hidden in this wonderful build. The last part that deserves a little highlight is the angled bar with stud used to represent icicles. One that really deserves a quick mention is the use of the Bionicle minifigure legs for the dragon’s nose bridge and eye sockets. The dragon itself is a true work of art and there are multiple parts used in very clever ways. There is a lot of sand blue and even some lavender hidden in the roof, and the house gets a dark green door which complements the dark red Smaug in a lovely way. Often these types of buildings can be very earth-toned, and while that’s mostly the case for this one, if you look closely you can spot quite a few colours being used.
In other places, the window frames were filled in with cheese slopes representing stained glass windows. They built an amazing Tudor-style house to represent one of the houses of Lake Town and it is lit! No literally, it is on fire!įor the woodwork on the house, Kitkat1414 used window frames and filled those in with bars to represent the wooden beams. We’ve also seen LEGO brick-built dragons before, and just like the Tudor-style buildings, they too tend to be the main focus of the creation.
