I wish they release the wolves again

I wish I had bought some of these sets when they were new. No way I’m paying hundreds of dollars for a $50 set 😂

This is a perfect example of a skippable set. You are paying 50 dollars (US) for basically a few figures, their accessories and a pair of wargs, all the other parts are perfectly cheap on the secondary market, the most expensive being the bamboo plant part on the ground for 11-13ct per piece. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to have a large tree, especially the feature of it being able to rotate is awesome, but this (like nearly all of the Lord of the Rings sets) isn't anywhere close to 50 dollars of value. I don't believe this itsn't exactly a very intriquing build either, but I might be wrong about this, as I haven't experienced it. So many of these older sets are great to have, but they need to be on a discount for them to be really worth it. The wargs are probably the main reason you'd buy this, they look great, even as just generic fantasy creatures. Is it just me or are the Hobbit sets worse than the Lord of the Rings sets overall? It could be my bias about the movies negatively affecting my view. Lastly, it is shocking to see what the earthquakes have done to your lego. If lego, which is as indestructible as it comes, can be damaged by that, I wouldn't want to know what happened to your house. Thanks for showing this off and sorry for being a bit of a negative nancy about price, it seems unavoidable when talking about LOTR and the Hobbit Lego. :S
