Over on Brickset, forum member davetheoxygenman, took a picture of the new LEGO The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey board game at his Toys R Us and is priced at $34.99. That might not be the price at other locations since TRU marks up their prices. The set contains 394 pieces and has four minifigures: Gandalf the Grey, Dwalin, Fili, and Kili. Below is the description of the board game on Brickipedia:
