Tower of Orthanc just went to the top of my expensive sets to buy list. Compared to some fan made models though it's a bit underwhelming ;-)

Amazon.com now has this years LOTR sets listed! with some being marked as available June 1st.

Picture link to Amazon sales site

79005 The Wizard Battle

Recreate The Wizard Battle at The Tower of Orthanc, as Gandalf the Grey takes on his mentor and old friend,
Saruman, who has fallen under the influence of Sauron while gazing into his palantir. Saruman will stop at nothing to deliver
the One Ring to his new master and serve him by helping to conquer Middle-earth. Avoid the spinning palantir's spell,
cast powerful staff magic and send Saruman flying from his throne. Stay away from Sauron's mesmerizing gaze or risk being
enslaved yourself. Includes 2 minifigures with staffs: Gandalf the Grey and Saruman.

79006 Council of Elrond

Build the majestic Elven city of Rivendell, home to Elrond and his beautiful warrior-princess daughter, Arwen. Call Gimli and
Frodo Baggins to The Council of Elrond to plan the destruction of the One Ring and the defeat of Sauron. Place the Ring
on the podium and recreate this classic scene from The Fellowship of the Ring. Send Gimli flying with the launch function
when he tries to destroy the Ring with his axe. Beware the Eye of Sauron, as he draws closer to the Ring that will lead to the fall
of Middle-earth. Includes 4 minifigures with weapons: Elrond, Arwen, Frodo Baggins and Gimli.

79007 Battle at the Black Gate

Fly the Great Eagle high above the Black Gate of Mordor where Aragorn and Gandalf the White must distract the Eye of Sauron.
Use them to stage a scene while Frodo Baggins and his friend Sam throw the One Ring into the fiery depths of Mount Doom
and destroy it forever. To reach the Ring's final destination, you must defeat the Mouth of Sauron and the Mordor Orcs positioned
high in the spiked gate walls. Then breach the gate and lead the attack on the enemy. Includes a Great Eagle and 5 minifigures
with weapons: Aragorn, Gandalf the White, Mouth of Sauron and 2 Mordor Orcs.

79008 Pirate ship Ambush

On the shores of Minas Tirith, Sauron's Mordor Orcs prepare to greet their allies aboard the Pirate Ship – but all is not as it seems.
Pull up alongside them, drop the anchors and lead a surprise attack with Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas Greenleaf and the Army of the Dead.
This majestic Corsair ship features 3 large sails, removable rear section with dungeon and Pirate of Umbar prisoner, firing crossbow
and loads of armor and weapons. Capture the Orc catapult and lead the glow-in-the-dark King of the Dead and his soldiers into battle
at the War of the Ring. Includes 9 minifigures with weapons and accessories: Aragorn, Legolas Greenleaf, Gimli, 2 Mordor Orcs,
the King of the Dead, 2 Soldiers of the Dead and a Pirate of Umbar.

Hi All, The Lord of the Rings Summer 2013 sets are now for sale. I only picked up the Wizard Battle at my local Toys R Us, but they had all of them.
Also, if you haven't picked up the Monster Fighter sets, they are now on sale at Target.
