I’ve only been able to find one frame style that comes in this size. All three (or four – if you add the second side of the two-sided poster) of these posters were 24″ x 32″, which is not a common poster size. (The poster with Aragorn is actually two-sided, so I got two of them.) Then there was another The Return of the King poster with Gollum that was available from Target with the purchase of the #9476 LEGO Lord of the Rings Orc Forge set – which I also got from eBay. The Two Towers poster (with Legolas), along with The Return of the King poster (with Aragorn) were available with a LEGO Lord of the Rings set purchase, and later by themselves from Toys’R’Us and FAO Schwartz. The Fellowship of the Ring poster (with Frodo) was a limited edition with only 5,000 made, that you could get with any LEGO Lord of the Rings set purchase at LEGO stores or the Online LEGO Shop. Then there are the posters related to the release of the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets in 2012. I got one off of eBay from an international seller. ![]() I believe only the poster for the regular version of the movie was printed, but I don’t know where it was originally available. ![]() There are two posters related to the movie one is a LEGO-ized version of the original poster, and the other is for the 3D version. The next LEGO movie posters were for Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, to coincide with the release of the 3D version of the film in 2012. However I do have pictures of the posters next to the original ones in my flickr gallery. I don’t have these because they were released before I became serious about collecting them, and I believe that they were even more limited than normal. The first printed movie poster remakes that I’m aware of are related to the Indiana Jones line ( Raiders of the Lost Arc, Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) from 2008-2009, when the LEGO Indiana Jones sets became available. ![]() As I have mentioned, Brad is an avid collector of these LEGO movie posters. Below I will post the information he shared with me, and you can also visit his flickr gallery for all the LEGO movie posters. And another interesting part is to be able to find these posters, as they tend to be quite elusive some of them may actually have never been available in a printed format (so it was just art-work used digitally) and even the ones that were printed are usually only available as a promotional item tied to the release of the new film and/or the new LEGO sets related to the film. The most interesting and fun part of these posters is that they are recreations of the official movie posters related to the release of a new film – so they will include minifig versions of the characters and actors in the same settings and with the same poses as on the original poster. Besides official LEGO sets related to the movies, they also started offering promotional posters. ![]() LEGO has been collaborating with various movie franchises for several years now. He preferred not to do it himself, however he suggested I use the information we talked about to put together a post, then if readers have other questions he can answer them. The information he shared was so interesting that I suggested he writes an article. I was talking with one of our long-time readers, Brad, who is a collector of official LEGO movie posters.
