Being cynical could the fact they release the sets with trolls and goblins
in January have something to do with LotR being released at the end of
December ??
The ewoks are a bit of a disappointment, a brown minifig head with the old
style peasant hood would have looked better.
And how many catapults do we really need ??? If you work out the percentage
of LEGO sets that are catapults its gonna be quite disproportionately high.
We need more Catapults like we need more falling Axes :)
There was a conversation about it elsewhere, but didn't the Star Wars deal
prevent LEGO releasing _flying_ spaceships, hence the LOM explorer ship
crashing into the ground, and the Ogel ship being on a launchpad.
not sure about the goblins from the HP sets yet, I'll need to see a more
detailed piccy before deciding if they are any good, the troll is a bit of a
dissapointment though. The BURPMAN from RR sets is a better troll.
