LEGO Systems, Inc. has announced retail availability of
LEGO Games The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the newest addition to its portfolio of constructible board games based on the film premiering December 14, a production of
New Line Cinema and
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (

Roll to Win Giveaway" on the
LEGO Games Facebook page (link below) starting October 8, 2012.
Fans who are eagerly awaiting the film can now experience a most unexpected journey in the form of a board game that can be built, played and changed. True to the LEGO Games experience, players must first build the game and the die using the LEGO bricks and elements provided, then choose from microfigure characters Gandalf, Dwalin, Kili or Fili to search for 10 missing Dwarves and help Bilbo Baggins on his trek. The player who finds the most Dwarves wins the game. The newest addition to the LEGO Games collection, suggested for players ages seven and up, is now available in the board game aisles of most toy, discount merchandise and specialty stores nationwide for $34.99.
