Coming off the recent news about the LEGO Hobbit poster that appeared on Reddit yesterday, Just2good over on Eurobricks has also got his hands on the poster. He has posted close up images of the boxes as well as a video on the sets. Note that the only set that didn’t have a closeup of the box was the An Unexpected Gathering set although it was briefly mentioned in the video.

Barrel Escape (79004)
Attack of the Wargs (79002)
Escape From Mirkwood Spiders (79001)
