More like save UP, am I right??
My guy that intro was one of the best things I've seen! 10/10
haha thanks! glad you enjoyed!
That intro was genuinely so amazing
thank you so much!
That intro is cannon
haha call peter jackson let em know!
Reminds me of your video on rivendell last year, great intro yet again. Was really interesting to hear that Viggo broke his toe too! That's some obscure LOTR knowledge from you there.
haha thanks! really had to dig deep in the vault for that one
that’s common knowledge by every lord of the rings fan from over twenty years ago. not exactly obscure knowledge. lol.
@@paulwoodford1984 wooooshhhhh
@@alice5790 oh you’re joking. It’s hard to tell nowadays as people are more brain dead now
@@paulwoodford1984Sure, buddy. Sure. It was SO hard to tell 😂
Best intro to any TH-cam video ever😂
On the barad dur kitchen: MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS
not agaaaain!!
@@LucasHinojos Better than maggoty bread.
You 100% got me with that intro and all of the jokes. Subscribing right now!
wow thank you! you 100% rock!
That intro was perfection
Frodo & Sam need custom figures with clothes looking beat up and dirty
That’s one of those things I didn’t know I needed until this guy mentioned it lol dang it haha
Bro you’re awesome just found your channel. I subbed keep up with the awesome intros and great editing like you did in this it was great!
appreciate it thank you!
The start is just… to good to put into words
Intro is amazing. Great video! So excited to get this set!
woooo! Thank you! Excited for you!
I wish LEGO realized there are two main types of LEGO collectors. Ones that like highly detailed, premium sets and collectors that value minifigs. I really wish this set was 2/3 its size and more accurate. Along the lines of a LEGO architect line. Or similar to what they are doing with Star Wars miniships. A very accurate and detailed 360 Barad Dur for around $250USD. Throw in maybe one exclusive minifig. Then have 4-6 smaller, more affordable sets with all these minifigs. This way here, if you want Barad Dur, you don't have to break the bank. Or if you wanna collect the minifigs, you could buying cheaper sets.
This way everyone is happy. The highly detailed collector gets a nice display model. And fans wanting minifigs could over the course of a year(or more) buy a series of more affordable sets to collect the minifigs.
yeah i guess lego just isn't ready to launch a full wave of LOTR sets that includes different varieties like how star wars has their playsets, ucs sets, and then smaller midi scale sets. Maybe someday!🤞🏼
The intro alone is worth liking and subscribing, amazing
Legend, loved the rivendell one you made last year. Return of the King
haha appreciate it, thanks!
This intro is one of the best intros I’ve ever seen lol
haha i appreciate it thanks for watching!
That intro: perfection.
4:37 the gear wheel is for the skeleton then the gears in the mid has a bar that goes out of the right side to a gray block and that is to open the 2 doors in the front of the set.
oh nice! didn't catch that!
Great Intro Bro!
thanks man!
Mouth of Sauron office in the top of the tower has a sticker with the blacked out silhouette of the Fell Beast and it matches the box art of the GWP.
cool detail!
After watching the designer interview on Brick Fanatics I feel like Barad-Dur was such a great set choice to come after Rivendell. The designer mentioned they wanted to show the origin of the Fellowship using Rivendell and the goal of the Fellowship fulfilled using Barad-Dur so the two go really well with one another not only as contrasting sets thematically but also as a way to show the overall progression of the Lord of the Rings story. The only issue this brings now though is whether or not they will want to make future sets given that the design team have accomplished what they wanted to do with the two sets. I reckon if they do make a third set next year and not a wave of smaller sets it will no doubt be a set from the Two Towers so they have one large D2C set for each book/film and that location will all but certainly be Helms Deep. I doubt they would make a new Tower of Orthanc to compete against Barad-Dur.
It absolutely has to be Helms Deep! I can't see them doing anything else like you said. Unless it was like a giant, hulkbuster-esque build of Treebeard lol but that seems unlikely. Very cool to think about how these two sets bookend the fellowships journey!
Edoras and the golden hall would be pretty pog
Loved your intro!
thanks for watching!
Cool Gollum impression!
thanks! idk how andy serkis does it😅
Best Intro ever my Guy 😂👌🏽 but what exactly is the cheaper way to get this set? Is there any information about this set coming in Shops or will it be a Lego/Amazon exklusive?
unfortunately I did that mainly for the joke😅 As of now I think this set is a Lego store exclusive. But I have seen plenty of times where other stores like Target will carry D2C set's like this one from time to time and go on sale for 20% off or something similar. so it's always worth being on the lookout. And if you know how to traverse the world of 3rd party sellers, you can always get lucky and score a good deal. Never pay full price for Lego if you can help it!
Had to get it early for that Fell Beast
I watched this on the toilet
10/10
yo that is sick
the intro was amazing
thanks!
Dude this is so good!!! 😂👏👏👌
I mean... the intro of course😆
haha but of course! Thanks for watching!
that intro!! holy smokes
haha thanks!
7:11 the weird orc is named Gothmog.
Legendary intro
what an amazing intro hahahaha
The fellbeast on eBay is already $185 💀
minecraft oof
that intro had me dying
Sauron looks great, can't wait to get my hands on him, "the bnasty mouth black gate guy" lolm, and Gothmog. Orcs look great. But I agree, more care should have been put into Frodo and Sam. By the time they get to Mordor, they've walked 10,000 miles, mountain climbed a few times, seen a few battles, and gone for a swim. Now they're trecking across Mordor. They should've at lease been worn OR been in their orc armor disguise to match the helmets. Two repeats from another $500 set is down right annoying. Previously I said there should be more figs but honestly, the price per piece is really good for a license set so I can look past that but the missed opportunity of getting an Isildur and an Elendil, battle worn Elrond, Gil Galad, etc. still hurts a tiny bit.
the helmets are nice! but yeah feels like a big missed opportunity. Didn't think about those other guys as added figures that would be really cool! maybe a mount doom set that opens up with them could be interesting
Yep, intro. made me subscribe.
wow thank you so much!
Genius intro
Wow just wow for that intro
eyo the return of *the* king himself? 👀
😭 thanks for the support!
The Sauron Tower of Mordor.
👁️
Came to be bored by another review of a set I wont get even though it is well done because too much money and well to be honest too. I dont want that evil eye looking at me all the time... but pleasantly surprised by your intro... so you earned a sub.
haha thank you so much!
abosoutely love that intro bro! 😍
thank you!👊🏼
NEW LUCAS UPLOAD LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!
NEW BILLY COMMENT LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!
There is a 23 minute long video on youtube with the Designer of the set going through all of the interior and exterior.
ooo i gotta look that up
Would have been an instant buy if Sauron was a tall fig :DDD
Réally? Tháts what does it for you?😂😂
@@Treayom Yeah, a perfect Sauron... sigh a man can dream...
360 degree model would be over 10000 pieces and costs over 1 grand. Day 1 purchase but I will keep an eye on the MOC community does to it cause buying pieces and downloading instructions to make it a bit taller or to close it off is cheaper then buying 2 sets.
I think I saw a video where a designer showed off how you can extend the height of the top of the tower with additional pieces. I'm sure the moc community will make some cool mods too!
how do u go about getting lego cheaper?
wait for a sale, aftermarket places like ebay, bricklink, facebook marketplace, etc., walmart clearance if you're lucky! Most often you don't have to pay full price for lego if you're patient
@@LucasHinojos Barad-dur is Lego exclusive so only Lego website and Lego stores if you see it other places it was probably stolen or it is a scalper.
for sets like this one in particular you do have to be careful that's true. if it's too good a deal, most likely best to stay away. that's not to say it's impossible though!
Wish we could get a dwarf or orc battle pack, Be able to build an army for the war, Or have a few funny builds with orcs. Could you imagine a stage with some orcs singing or dancing? hahah! But yeah, In all seriousness, A cheaper set with some orcs, Or dwarves, Or elves, Or even hobbits, Would be awesome for us who can't spend a bajillion bucks for a massive set.
an elves vs orc battle pack a la star wars clone trooper vs droid battle pack would be👌🏼
Support comment supports
I bet someone will buy an extra set just so they can put the two halves of the tower together.
give new meaning to the union of the two towers😳
10 out of 10 into
'ppreciate it!🫡
New Gollum is movie accurate.
yeah i think the eyes are the only real difference, and they removed the nose
I succumbed tonight
uh ohhhh
I just hope Lego doesn't curse us with The Rings of Power (+ privilege) sets.
I'd rather buy one or two fantastic sets like this each year than any of the the other low effort crap they release for "reasonable" prices
The intro was awesome. Lego is marketing more to the adults that grew up with Lego sets, like myself. I started collecting in the last few years but it’s an expensive hobby. However if you don’t build them and keep the set in mint condition you will get your money back someday. Not sure though if Lego wants to become known for a bunch of “old” geeks like myself collecting and reselling these sets, but that’s where it looks to be headed.
Very different landscape compared to when we were growing up for sure! You don't really consider all this stuff until you get deep in the hobby😂
Thanks for watching!
Guess it's time to bust out the wallet again lmao
it can't catch a break😭
That intro was amazing 🤣🤣🤣 $460 for some plastic like we’re not trying to survive Bidens America
I still think the sauron minifigure is extremely dissapointing.
I think that's the biggest criticism i've seen so far on this set. What do you find disappointing about it? I think he definitely could benefit from having taller legs and arms, but I honestly didn't even think about it until others brought it up lol
When the world will stop producing oil, Lego will be missed 😞
the set is not worth 400 pounds. ridiculous. people can’t even save up as it is only going to get more expensive as time goes on. pretty sure it’s a limited edition set too. buy it now or miss out basically
sadly I think that's what Lego's been doing recently, causing a craze and making people buy in that short period where boxes are on shelves. It's disappointing for those of us who want LOTR sets without selling our homes lmao
give us small sets again!! polybags, anything
I don't know where you got the limited edition set thing from? This will probably be on shelves for at least 2 but possibly even 3 years
@@piotr78 I wouldn't be surprised if both LOTR sets make it to 4 or more.
the barad dur set itself isn't limited edition. the fell beast gift with purchase however is a limited promo that will probably only be available a short time. thanks for watching!
It looks beyond terrible.
