I'm in complete agreement here.

Here I disagree. Dobby's master (Lucius Malfoy) is a great fig. That torso
would be great in any Town setting. Blond hair is stil rare enough to be
exciting. And the face is interesting. Almost the same things can be said
about Uncle Vernon. I'm always happy with new figs that seem to have a more
general utility. Hooch, OTOH, is less useful. I don't see her as being
generic enough to use outside of HP creations. Also on figs, I like the new
torsos on Ron and Harry in the Aragog set. Again, these are generic useful
Town torsos. Unfortunately, they don't make it worth buying that set--I'm
in strong agreement on the spider model. I even need to make a giant spider
for my Tolkien project, but I won't get this set. I'd rather build my own
design.

I thought that Sheelob was the only use for it too, I would believe that
lego even had that in mind, that is at least, they might have if they werent
preoccupied with Harry Potter (though one could easily argue the Tolkein
influence on Rowling and conclude that it IS a Sheelob set - the only
difference is that the minifigs should have had short legs and swords, and a
Gollum)
do you have any pics of your Tolkein project, i am sure i am not the only
one who would be interested in that...
