Another new minifigure was discovered on the Chinese auction site Taobao today.  It is an alternative Bain (Son of Bard) figure to add to our collection of Hobbit and Lord of the Rings minifigures.

This is the same guy that had the Star Wars polybag and the lightning lad figures last week, so it would appear that all of these are being produced in China as well.  I will keep checking back to see if we see any more of these over the next few days.

“Born during the late Third Age, Bain is a young Man of Dale, son to the famed Bard the Bowman and brother of Sigrid and Tilda. He helps his father in hiding the last Black Arrow while Bard is captured and imprisoned by the order of the master. He would eventually become King of Dale. He later had a son, Brand, who was killed during the War of Ring by the Easterling.”

This figure looks a little more authentic than the last one as the last one was a bright green color.  I will probably need to get it to complete my collection.  Darn you Lego.  I thought this line was finished.  I have already built my stand for this collection and it does not have any empty spaces.  I guess that I will need change it up a little.

I am not sure if this figure will have a double sided face like the last one, or if what we see is what we get with this one.

Here is the back, but it does not give us any clue as to what the face back will look like.

I really hope that they finish off a few of the other characters from the movies and the books.  They still have quite a few that they have missed.  Possibly some other exclusive at Walmart or Amazon?  I can only hope.

It looks like another DVD figure based on the packaging.    I would guess that this is for the Hobbit:  The battle of Five Armies movie when it is released on DVD.  Also, based on how this went down with the last movie, it is probably going to be a Target exclusive as well.  I wonder why the seller of this figure is not popping him out of the packaging?  It would seem that you would get a better picture if you did that?

Overall the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings minifigures have been one of the more reasonable lines to get all of the figures for since I do not believe that they sold that well either.  This is one line that I am certain will increase in value in short order since so many people are nuts about these books and movies.  Afterall, these are some of biggest movies ever produced.

Lego has been working overtime to get more and more exclusive figures out this year.  This is going to hurt my wallet.

OUCH!

Here is the other Bain FIgure.

He was part of this set.  Lego 76016 “Attack on Lake Town”.  He also appeared in the Lego The Hobbit video game.

 

Here are the other two DVD’s that target released with Hobbit and Lord of the Rings minifigures in them.  This one had Legolas.  Which ironically is also the name of my dogs mom.

Here is the Bilbo Baggins exclusive minifigure which you can still pick up on Amazon.  This one is usually on the top 100 most expensive since it’s release was so limited.  I have sent a few of these to fellow collectors overseas since they have not been able to easily obtain them.
