    I really want a LotR CMF series. Imagine getting characters like Eowyn, Smeagol, Galadriel, Grima Wormtongue, King Theoden, Faramir, Rosie Cotton, Denethor, Eomer, Wood Elves, Uruk-Hai, and the shadow realm Witch King and/or more Nazgul.

      Imagine also getting Isildur (which should have been included in Barad Dur), Elrond (2nd age), Elendil, Gil Galad, arnor Soldier, and High Elven Warrior

    2 biggest issues I have with the set are.
    1. The tower is just not tall enough. It's missing a large section above the rock formation. It should be much taller than the Orthac set it isn't.
    2. The lack of Orc MiniFigures. If they wouldn't give us more at least make Sam and Frodo Orcs instead. A Ninjago set would have had 20 plus MiniFigures for this price.

    To all the people who are hating on this set:
    1. It's a Lego set
    2. the interior of the real building is UNKNOWN, so lego had to INNOVATE, and because it's lego they can't do blood and gore ( which, it's also a lego set so YOUR THE COOK, MAKE IT WHAT YOU WANT.)
    3. It has SO MANY new features that have NEVER been in ANY LEGO SET EVER.
    4. The size is a good point, lego does need to do more $20 or $40 sets (PLEASE DO A FELLBEAST SET.)
    5. IT HAS FRICKIN *SAURON*

    • @JayAlbion
      @JayAlbion 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is exactly the point, well not all of them. The set looks great and I agree with the impressive new features BUT it’s clearly a set for fanboys (and girls). I love the books read them like 30 times, first when I was about 12 yo. For me the book gave much more than the films did and I do really want this set but in a form where I do not have to rearrange my whole living room.

      @@JayAlbion not sure how this set would be made in a significantly smaller scale tbh. If were smaller than the old Orthanc set (which I have) it would be a little weird. I suppose they could have made a mini-scale version. Or just the part of the tower with the eye? I do think
      Lego needs to bring back smaller LOTR sets.

    Good review! I lucked out and scored the GWP on day one before they sold out. I am really excited to build this and set it next to my Rivendell set. Sadly, it's gonna be a bit since there are so many other lego sets that I need build before this one. It's been a good year for lego and a bad year for my wallet.

      The fell beast is really nothing to rave about. It’s very flimsy and lacks details. I think it’s just the hype around it. It’s also hard to place on the set. I really loved the tour. It’s so beautiful to look at and it display beautifully

    If you were able to score the GWP with the Barad-dur, the set gets a good score. So its like 11 figures and a Fell Beast.. The GWP by itself was selling for 175 on Ebay

    I think barad dur is a great set. Is it better than Rivendell… no, but this set has a really good interior even tho we don’t know what it looks like in the movie. They definitely could have added a little more height to it but I think it works well as it’s own model.

    @neilrusling-je6zo 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Is Barad Dur worth it? Yes and No. It looks great, so worth it. What do I do with it once built though. Its too big for the shelf and it does not fit with anything else, not putting it next to Brickcross station or cafe corner are we? So No, its not worth it.
    Also, why is youtube telling me I spelt "cafe" wrong when I know its correct...very strange.

    Dude. 1973 (1+9+7+3) is for the amount of rings given to the races. 1 ring for sauron to rule them all, 9 rings for men, 7 rings for the dwarves, 3 rings for the elves. So I think Is it amazing Tolkien passed away in 1973 cause that is the same number. What a crazy coincidence
