Corrections: Legolas *is* officially there by licensed name. I'm looking forward to hearing viewers' actual thoughts about the set on the whole, as opposed to just picking apart my video!
Are you taking the lego hobbits to isengard? :p
but for a set this expensive, I feel they should have gone without stickers.
This Set is beautiful! I would absolutely love a review from you.
The colours of the entire thing give me very positive autumn/fall vibes. It's just fantastic. Also 15 minifigs and the additional 5 or 6 statues is huge! My complaint are the trees. They look to clunky compared to the love they put into everything else in this set. It also looks way more compact and feels like a Set worth 500€ compared to the Grey in Grey starships from Star Wars with barely any minifigures. Just my opinion.
And the roof. That is amazing yet so simple.
Aw man, this one is easy, I simply will not be able to resist this purchase. Never done much LotR Lego but this? Nope, sign me up n take my money! (Its expensive of course and does look like a lot of "smaller" pieces, but still 6000+ is solid imo). Love the video as well!
Absolutely gorgeous set. Definitely big improvement on almost all the figures. However legolas does seem a bit off... maybe the face? May look different up close! Looking forward to the review!
Did anyone notice the eye of sauron when you take the platform with the chairs off?
It's cleverly ligned up with where the ring is, it's a nice touch!
Oh I was wondering what that was
I clearly don't have the money to buy this, but as a Tolkien fan this is just a masterpiece to have displayed, this is everything I wanted when they first release the lego lotr, hope to see more soon.
I don’t have the money either but imma find it 😫
This is a gorgeous set with loads of great details and tons of figs, but I've got to say that even for a licensed set, $500 seems a bit steep. When you consider that a pretty hefty amount of the pieces are 1x1 tiles on the roof, and a set like the Lion Knights' Castle can sell for $400, makes you wonder why this one is just soooo expensive.
Nah it fine. 14 figures, $.8/piece for a stunning and decently sized set is a solid deal IMO. Especially with all the recoloring and unique parts.
Lots of new pieces, prints, and figure work. LKC has tons of figs, but most of them are iterative.
lord of the rings IP
I'm guessing it's because they want to sell it to people who want the full collection of all the fellowship figures. You needed at least three sets to get them all in the old wave so they're very expensive to get all of them now, especially boromir pippin and merry
well, at a minimum, it's 1600 more pieces than Lion Knight's Castle so that accounts for about $100
It's a great looking set with great figures. But I find it odd to bring back a theme with a big bang $500. No smaller sets besides brickheadz.
I do wonder if LEGO is gonna start producing less of these high price sets.
No it will be More. They just entered this new market and it Works well but the hulkbuster.
I think Lego learned from the first release that LOtR is much more popular with adults than kids. I remember nearly all of the original sets sitting on shelves (especially the Hobbit ones) and eventually getting clearanced off. Their obviously targeting adults, and know many will buy this at this price point. They’ve had 10+ years of market research on this.
Yeah it would be great to have a full line of low to mid-priced sets. Maybe it could come in the future? I wonder though that as it’s >20 years since the movies, whether Lego are banking on the fans from back then now having the disposable cash to spend on a huge nostalgia hit
I feel like they've steadily been releasing more high price sets over the past few years. I wouldn't count on a change of course unless the AFOL money train runs dry unexpectedly.
My 8yo loves lotr and could build this but I would really appreciate some lower value items. Perhaps part of the reason this exists is so lego enthusiasts can obtain "characters" but the cost is.. a huge set. Otherwise we (personally) would likely buy them piecemeal in smaller sets.
LOOOOVE how they did the statues with minifigs. They should have done that with the Colosseum... this looks amazing.
When you remove the Counsel area, a weird orange support is revealed. That’s representative of the eye of Sauron that flashes across the screen for a second during that scene when gimli hits the ring with an axe
One does not simply buy this set without going broke.
In all seriousness its amazing!
Set looks fantastic, but 500 is a lot. I love the printed floor pieces, but absolutely lament the stickers used for everything else. 500 is a big ask for stickers, it might be the limiting factor for me. Lion Knights castle didn't have stickers and it was perfect in my mind.
I really hope they keep adding odd stuff to the photos just to infuriate Jang.
This is exactly what I was hoping Rivendell would be. So excited for this set!
Oh this looks fantastic!
I believe the 2 nameless Elves are actually meant to be the 2 Elven smiths of Rivendell who reforge the shards of Narsil into Anduril. These Elves aren't named in the books or films, but were played by real WETA blacksmiths who made the weapon props for the films, and that's fun.
Personally I was hoping for a nanoscale Rivendell ala Hogwarts, so to capture the entire place, but putting that aside I don't think a miniscale build could have realistically been done much if any better than this in terms of play and display value. This is excellent.
Excited for your review in the future!💜
Glad you're not part of the LAN or sponsored - I can rely on your integrity. Thanks, Jang
I absolutely love Lego Lotr - I really hope some affordable playsets are on the way too, I don’t think I can afford, display, or manage such a big set. I can’t be alone!
When I got back into lego in 2017, LotR and The Hobbit sets were one of the first ones I have purchased. I remember watching your videos on these sets (for example the Unexpected Gathering Set) and how I was surprised by how high quality your videos were (and still are). Thank you for all these years of content Jang.
The most anticipated set of the year!
i'm SO excited for this! it looks beautiful! i think legolas's face is a little off, but that's SUCH a nitpick when you look at everything else. seeing you build it will be a joy!
Wow, it looks really great. I thought I’d seen something saying it would be in a micro scale like the hogwarts, not sure which would’ve looked better.
the whole fellowship, custom weapon molds, sharderd narsil
this set is amazing, i cant wait for when Barad-dur comes out aswell
Jang’s rivalry with the set photos are exactly what I’m here for 😂
I absolutely love this ,as a huge LOTR/Middle Earth geek ,I want to buy this ,I just sadly have no space right now to display this gorgeous piece
Its beautiful! Its like a MOC or lego ideas submission
great part usage with the 2x2 with rounded extension on the big roof, for the chairs, and is it me, or is there special leg builds so that all the figures can sit
I would think 400 euros tops tho, knowing how overpriced things are
2:12 - the other sword in the armory you mentioned is likely Arwen’s sword Hadhafang (Throng-cleaver); a sword once belonging to the Elven princess Idril who wed a mortal Man (Tuor) and bore Eärendil, the father of Elrond, who in turn was father to Arwen.
Great preview! Love the snarky houseplant commentary as always ;) As a huge LOTR and LEGO fan, I can’t pass this one up even though space is tight!
Had a closer look at the table in the council scene because I was wondering what pieces were used, and I think its a repurpose of the shulker box from the Minecraft sets, which is such a clever part usage! This set is so good I might have to take some extra shifts for a while to afford it! 😂
Are these big sort of sets likely to get discounts later on? I would defo buy this but not at release price. Idm waiting for a price drop, although I'd be annoyed if it never got a discount and went straight to retirement
3:48 that piece used for the centrepiece of the council is four of the new 2023 minecraft shulker shell stacked atop one another, with every other piece askew by 45 degrees
I wanna say that piece at 3:48 is the new shulker box part, offset at 45-degree angles and stacked.
I love that the minifigures look so similar to 10 years ago. Old and new collections could easily be combined.
I'll probably grab Merry, Pippin, and Boromir from bricklink and other older figures, if they're affordable. I'm not a big enough nerd to dedicate that much money and space to it though
Building the tile roof may take "more than a minute" but when it's finished, will be worth it. Enjoyed your bunker & caterpillar-holed plant. Looking forward to the build. Due to money restraints, wished that this set came out later.
The piece at 3:56 is the LEGO Minecraft Shulker shell piece
2:25 Is that Doc Brown by the green tree ?
I wish they’d rerelease a Bag End LoTR set. This is out of my space/price range
The set is beautiful, and Jang sounds giddy with excitement for this one.
I wonder if a 1x8 flat tile on its edge would help line up those 1x1 roof tiles.
Like, lay out a diagonal line, use the 1x8 to line them up, and also the next diagonal row beside it.
I love it, the designer really put their heart into this one
Okay, but can we talk about the fact that Gloin is in this!!!
Hats/helmets off to the designers for this. Utterly mesmerising. Imo the most stunning official lego set ever
Also looks like gandalf has a hair piece as well as his hat. 😊
I compared images and I believe Gloin's torso is actually that of Owen Grady from Jurassic World. The lines match. That feels a bit cheap in a 500 bucks set. Everything else looks luxurious of course.
This is an amazing looking fantasy set. Wow
The council podium is a stack of minecraft shulker pieces alternating between 90° and 45° and I am OBSESSED with that design
I wonder why they didn't use the older elf hair piece for Legolas since it fits him much better
I have no intentions of getting this set myself as I'm not really invested in LoTR, but this is one of the big collector sets I can fully get behind. It's not big and expensive just for the sake of being big and expensive, it actually has tons of relevant detail and love put into it. I'm sure fans will love this, stickers aside maybe
I'm so excited it's mini-fig scale! And the mini-figs look stunning. As a die-hard book and movie fan there's almost nothing to complain about. Just from the pics the lore seems perfect. Which is wonderful to see as that was one of the calling cards of the theme a decade ago.
Question: If you're VIP and want to pick it up on March 5th, day 1, how does that work? When you go to your lego store do you have to tell them you're VIP to be able to purchase it, or will it just be stocked on shelves as normal and they'll check you're VIP at checkout? This will be my first time picking up a set day 1 in store! Thanks for the help 😁
The packing cardboard on the shelf is what they usually use in UCS set shipping boxes. So it's at least Lego related.
The use of recolored shulker box pieces for that table is fantastic!
My thoughts exactly for the roof tiles!
They're clipping flat pieces inbetween studs? Isn't that illegal?
Nah its fine, they do it in a lot of sets actually
No.
Yeah I don't know, I've been looking at Sam and Merry's hair again (from the movies), their hair colors are very similar but I'm pretty sure it's best to have them as either the old way or both Sam's old hair color. But at least they can just be swapped.
3:50 its 3 minecraft shulker/shrieker pieces stacked
You beat me to it, lol. Coundt comr up with the name. Thanks.
I will definetly be getting this, Rivendell has so many new molds and a cool design
Legos current pricing scheme for boxes with as many or more books in them than the bookstore is to take the price of the bookstore, and then multiply it by the amount of trees in the set.
The new piece in the pedestal for the ring was introduced for shulkers and sculk shriekers in the new Minecraft sets.
Can't wait to build this set! Also appreciate your enthusiasm.
Me: "Maybe it's time to stop spending too much money on Leg-"
Lego: *releases Rivendell
Me: "... I mean: To take a loan 🤩🤩"
What's most disappointing is that Lord of the Rings as a theme doesn't seem to be back. We had the Brickheadz and now this one is Icons.
Love your frankness Jang! 😝
I read the books 40 years ago, so I feel your pain - you did better than me!
I wonder when the fern pieces will be available as pick n build? I think the roots coming out of the big tree are very clever...the squarness dictated by use of arches.
Yeah, shred their promo placement photos! I love doing that myself 😆
It has more than 15 figures. There are several figure statues on the tower thing. I don't get why no one is counting them.
4:00 Looks like the shulker shell from the minecraft sets
I think it looks absolutely amazing, I love just about everything about the model and all the details. There is no way I’m spending $500 on this, maybe like $350-$400 at the most. It just doesn’t seem like enough for that price, and that’s too much for me to spend on Lego anyway. New LOTR sets are really cool but between this and the brickheads, there isn’t really anything I’ll be purchasing so far.
This set is a true masterpiece 😍😍
Loved your disclaimer at the start. This is why you're the best - because you just call what you like/don't like.
Now that's building!
Omg the dead plant display omg it just about killed me with laughter.
All of the elves have the same hair piece but in the original line there were more moulds.
I enjoy your take and comments on the lifestyle photos. From underground bunkers to corrugated cardboard decor for the WIN!
It's beautiful and I want it. I don't care much about the various themes... if I like a set I like it. i.e. I've never seen Ninjago anything, but have a couple of the sets. I sure like City Gardens, but would probably like this one if I had to choose.
Ladies and gentlemen you are looking at the set of the year 😲
Love medieval and LOTR. Can't decide on getting the lion knights castle or rivendell. Which one would you guys pick?
Castle is well-designed has features and rooms to play but the style is a bit toyish.
Rivendell is absolutely beautiful but it costs more and there are not that many spots for the minifigs to go comparing to the castle and the space it takes.
So hard to choose
This is up there with my desire to own a UCS Millenium Falcon and the technic lambo
Wish we got a scaled down version instead
Those fern pieces!! LOVE!
Man I'm looking forward to this review
That center pieces uses parts from the Shulker
I’m really glad they gave this some actual color! The first generation of LEGO LOTR felt so washed out and grey just for that “cinematic” look but I always believed LOTR could be as colorful and beautiful as any other theme, if not moreso.
3:53 Its the new lego Minecraft shulker pieces
So it is. Good eye!
I have to wonder if they’re going for Nice Part Usage in the live-action shots of the display shelves. Taken as a whole it all just passes for a room scene, and it’s only when you’re up close it starts to break down. Not being sarcastic, really curious if this is intentional at this point.
On one hand I love it and looks like the best set since the lion knight castle. On the other hand I'm annoyed with Lego releasing this many 500 sets so often. Frustrating to see so many sets and figures I want but probably will never afford.
Golly this looks gorgeous. Is that wee blue triangle half tile thing new? I'm certainly curious as to how that works, and I wonder if the set includes the whole Anduril sword as well. Oh I am so tempted.
Only thing that bothers me so far is usage of windscreen pieces for waterfall. Brick built from generic small pieces with color variation would look much better imo.
50cm deep so a little tricky for those of us with bookcases for storage. Won’t fit on even the deeper of the Billys.
What a masterpiece, if I could display it and buy it....
If compared, briefly, to the lion knight's castle it seems that the statues are budgeted as any other mini-figures.
Beautiful build.First day purchase.
Bonus! If you buy this set, you get the perfect head and sword pieces for a Ned Stark, perfect for any GOT customs.
Spectacular set! Thought it was a MOC. I saw recently the original trilogy and this has all the details, amazing.
I used to have dreams of one day aquiring the Lego death star. My dreams have changed now
Great looking model for display. But it honestly looks so fun to play with lol.
Surprised Galadriel wasn't included
I think it looks amazing! All of it! I like the alternate builds they did for the minifigures like Frodo and Elrond to be able to sit down.
I think it's safe to say, though, that NO ONE is looking forward to putting those roofs together.
absolutely beautiful.
I would love to see a Zelda Hyrule Castle set or a LOTR Bilbos House
The pedestal thing that the ring sits on appears to be made from recolored Minecraft shulker tops.
This set looks way lovely, really does! Haven't watched LOTR in quite some time, but still, this set is quite terrific, looking forward to the review!
Wow that’s massive
This looks incredible 🐉
Full Fellowship in this 1 set wow!
Great video. Awesome model. Looks like an Ocarina flute on the shelf referencing Zelda maybe?! I think sooo.
Good-looking set. That said, it should probably have about the same number of figures as Mos Eisley Cantina. Fifteen figures just seems weak for a $100 more than similar sets. Piece count is only way higher due to the small pieces involved like the roof, leaves, and water feature. Since it is Rivendell maybe a few more elves would have worked to keep it accurate to the scene. IIRC, there were about 20 individuals at the round-table and quite a few of them elves. I like LOTR but that ship has sailed, no pun intended, as far as me buying LEGO sets based on it.
Ring table is new minecraft mob part from end set. Chairs made of sausages n lolliesss
I will never tire of hearing Jang’s opinions on the lifestyle photos😂
Those are a lot of new, movie accurate weapon molds for one set. Is a full LOTR theme reboot on the horizon? 👀
