LEGO The Hobbit Minifigure Available for VIPs... But Not in Australia

As the Lord of the Rings is set to return in LEGO form this coming January, LEGO has announced a sweepstakes to win a Bard the Bowman minifigure from The Hobbit, which was exclusive to 2014's comic-con.

Unfortunately, this competition is only available to enter in the following countries: Canada (excluding Quebec), Estonia, France (excluding French Overseas Departments or Territories, and the Principality of Monaco), Greece, Republic of Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States.

Yes, Australians will not be able to take part in this competition. While it may be a blow to the passionate LEGO The Lord of the Rings community in Australia, there are rumors that a big set featuring numerous minifigures will be releasing towards the end of 2023.

In the meantime, there are three The Lord of the Rings sets launching in 10 days time on the 1st of January, 2023. BrickHeadz fans can look forward to the following:

* 40630 LEGO Frodo™ & Gollum™ * 40631 LEGO Gandalf the Grey™ & Balrog™
