Yoda is here for the 500th post.
Here it is the 500th post on Yoda Archives.com. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this blog back in January 2011, with Found me you have. I just wanted to have some fun with my camera and some action figures. I’ll hit the three year mark in just a couple of months.I’ve made a lot of friends here and hope to meet more of you in person at a convention sometime.
Thank you all for your support.
For this special post I had to go back to the character that was the impetus for the blog, The Jedi Master, Yoda. And I placed him in my favorite set of the year.
featured here is Yoda, Bilbo Baggins, and Bag End from 79003 An Unexpected Gathering
An extremely Unexpected Gathering
Looks like Bilbo Baggins is playing host again.

Tower of Orthanc LEGO set
The LEGO Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc 10237 images hit the web today. The set is massive and beautiful. The set contains 2359 pieces. You get an ideal of how big the Tower is when it is shown in the shot with the Trent and the minifigs. But this video of it gives a better view of the scale of the tower. The set retails for 199.99. I would love to have this.

These mini legs are made for walking.
Mini Action Legs by Brick Fortress
Hobbits can’t run, at least LEGO hobbits and other short character can’t run. Normal short LEGO legs are not moveable so the smaller characters cannot move, or sit. The mini-action legs offered by Brick Fortress allow poseability for the minis in either in your MOCs or stop motion films.
Left:Frodo with Action Legs Right: Frodo with standard Legs
I just bought a few of these and would like to share my thoughts on them. The legs are nicely made and feel similar to LEGO. They feel solid and move easily without fear of breaking like some knock off brick brands. The colors are near to LEGO colors. They are available in five colors now, others will be offered in the future, more on that later. Current color options are black, gray, dark blue, reddish-brown, and tan.
Here we can see side by side comparison using the Evil Dwarf from series 5. The dwarf on the Left has mini-action legs, the dwarf on the right has the standard legs.The legs have some curve to them rather than the straight look of LEGO legs. There is a center piece to the legs that allows the movement. And the legs are slightly taller due to the hips.
rear view: Dwarf w/ reddish brown, Yoda w/tan, Frodo in normal, and Bildo w/ dk blue.
Price: The legs are listed for $1.25 each but currently sold for $1.15 each with price breaks at higher volumes order 20 or more and the price drops to $1.00 each and order 100 or more and they drop $0.95 each. Shipping is cheap. Plus They fill orders fast. I ordered on the 31st the legs were shipped on the 2nd and arrived the 4th.
The tan legs match Yoda and allow the Jedi to Move.
The next color will be.. up to you. Brick Fortress held a survey for most requested colors. The top four are now up for voting. The choices are: Dark Green, Green, Dark Tan and Dark Brown. You’ll notice in the Frodo and Dwarf pics the color don’t match the original that because they figs were made with dark brown legs. Dark brown is not offered yet so I used the reddish-brown legs. I need my Hobbits to match. Frodo and Samwise can’t complete their mission if their outfits are not color coordinated. So vote dark brown Frodo needs action legs so he can simply walk into Mordor.
Voting ends April 30th so be sure to get your votes in by then! Choose your color and vote!
Frodo cannot walk he needs mini-action legs. Don’t let Sauron win vote dark brown legs!
Summary:The legs are well made and look great. They function like the regular size LEGO legs. I can see these being used in stop motion films. You should try a few and give your figs added poseability.
UPDATE:they are still taking votes for the new action leg color. This color vote will end the night of A̶p̶r̶i̶l̶ ̶3̶0̶t̶h̶,̶ ̶2̶0̶1̶3̶ [not decided]
The Elves are watching
I shot this a couple days ago. Yesterday was too cold and overcast to get great outdoor marco shots. We’re still at that time of year where its warm one day and near freezing the next. Plus there’s not much flora and fauna to shoot yet.

Don’t tease the Archers.

theBrickBlogger Article: Christmas Ornaments
I have an article today on theBrick Blogger. It covers various LEGO Christmas ornaments that are available this season. I updated and revised the Hallmark ornament information I posted here back in October. Plus I cover some ornaments made of and with LEGO bricks.
Christmas is in the air and many of us have LEGO Christmas is in the air and many of us have LEGO on our Christmas wish list or shopping lists. But how about using LEGO to decorate our trees? There are a few places you can find LEGO related ornaments and you can also make your own

Elrond commands you to get Hobbit tickets

It’s Hobbit day.
Today is the day, September 22nd is Bilbo Baggins’ and Frodo Baggins’ birthday.
Marc Gunn wants to celebrate by getting his song, Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits on the charts. So be sure to purchase the MP3 on Saturday September 22.
From Marc’s site
September 22nd is Bilbo Baggins’ birthday. It’s a perfect day to highlight hobbits with a grand Chartbombing celebration of my newest CD Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits.
September 22nd is Bilbo Baggins’ birthday. It’s a perfect day to highlight hobbits with a grand Chartbombing celebration of my newest CD Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits.
Here’s what’s gonna happen. We’re gonna top the charts on Amazon and iTunes. All it will take is a 99c contribution. In exchange, you’re gonna get a free unreleased Hobbit single called “The Smial or the Tree”. It’s parody of “Orange and the Green” written by Nancy Flynn. It’s HI-LARIOUS! The song that will top the charts is the title track of the album–“Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits”.
Now I know some of you already own the album. That’s why I’m gonna give you a free unreleased single for your generosity. Just spend 99c. That’s it!
Full detail at http://marcgunn.com/drinkingwithhobbits/
Here’s How It Works
You sign up on the right hand side of Marc Gunn Drinking with Hobbits page.
On Saturday, September 22 at noon Central Standard Time, you buy the single “Don’t Go Drinking With Hobbits” from either iTunes or Amazon (or both if you’re feeling generous).
You can give the song as a gift. You can also buy it multiple times for multiple friends.
If enough of us do this in one day, we’ll push that song into the Daily Top 10 Chart, which hopefully will keep it in the top ten for a while.
Best of all, we’ll also give Peter Jackson a little bit of extra promotion for The Hobbit movie in December.
While you are at iTunes get great little game or two.
For a limited time the LEGO Harry Potter games are $0.99 each so grab both Years 1-4 and years 5-7. They are regularly priced at $4.99 each.
Adding Prints to the Store
I’ve added more prints to the Online store. Shelob’s Lair, Stealing a STAP, Clockwork Robot, Avengers Auditions, and Indiana Jones in “Another Antiquity” are now available or 5x7s or 8x10s.
Thanks for visiting.
You shall not pass either.
I passed 10,000 views on Sunday. Also I found the LEGO Polybag of Frodo at Toys R Us. They have it for $4.99 right now or free with purchase of a $20 LEGO set.
