At this week’s Comic-Con, held in San Diego, LEGO will be unveiling its ‘Hobbit’-themed sets and figures, which will launch on December 1 – just in time for the film’s December 14 release.

USA Today also reported that those attending the San Diego convention will have the opportunity to check out two life-sized LEGO models – one a 6 foot tall, 100 pound Bilbo (Martin Freeman) consisting of 21,112 LEGO bricks; and the other a 170 pound, over 6 foot Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) comprised of 34,307 bricks.

I first read The Hobbit when I was ten years old, and knew from that moment on that I wanted to become a Tolkien Scholar - maybe even going so far as to one day teaching a course or two on Tolkien. I've been a writer since childhood, continuing to write short stories, essays, and other academic pieces in my spare time. In addition to my love of Middle-earth and of writing, I collect 50s nostalgia/James Dean memorabilia and frequently attend classic/exotic car shows. http://tolkienbritta.blogspot.com
A six-foot tall Bilbo made out of Legos (while, cool) doesn’t sound really life-sized, to me.
Wow.Can’t wait for the sets!
