See

If Lego is going to continue in its current strategy of securing licensing
rights, why they did not secure the rights to use the Lord of the Rings
characters is a good question.
I'm sure there are reasons. Possible ones include
- They have maxed out their yearly licensing budgets on continuing the Star
Wars product and the new Harry Potter line.
- The Harry Potter license stipulates they cannot simultaneously have two
licensed "castle / medieval / fantasy" lines.
- Lego felt LoTR is too "dark" and did not even peruse the license.
- Who knows.
Either way, the pictures look like recent Lego sets, but with no
mini-figures. The characters look like little statues.
