Better pictures have been taken and posted on FBTB: http://www.fbtb.net/2012/10/09/the-hobb ... more-16404" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They certainly are of a higher quality.

Here are High Def pictures of the actual sets on groove bricks. Not the poster...(though the escape from the barrels set is not included)

The roof comes off the set easily. :)

I dig all these sets except for the barrel escape.. not that it's a bad set just that the subject matter doesn't really entice me. I'm much more into skulls and spiders and goblins

My review for the Riddles set! It's pretty good for $10!

I should have my Bag End and Riddles sets today. I will probably build Bilbo's house this weekend or wait until Thanksgiving holiday.

I was dissapointed that Kmart sold out of the Wargs , which I will be buying at least 2 of. Really want the spiders for the minis.
Maybe TRU will have some decent Lego sales after Christmas.

Why does Bifur have an axe in his head?

I just got attack of the wargs yesterday and on Bifurs hair/beard piece there is what looks like a weird metal thing near his bangs/forehead area.

I google searched what it was and I come to find out it is a piece of an axe that is stuck in his head.

I don't remember that from the book. I guess it is permanent enough that Lego produced the minifig with it there. I just thought it was strange.
