Honestly the killer for me is the lack of new prints for Sam and Frodo, at this point in the story their outfits are very different, alot closer to Sam's original torso from 2012. They didnt even include sting, Frodos sword! Or even some simple blank chest armor peices to complete the disguisesI suppose you COULD get two old Sam torsos and the other stuff on bricklink or something, but its still disappointing considering the size and price of the set.

Those paper bags look like they'd do better to keep the lego safe while travelling. Also that build is HUGE and I am imagining that surrounded by a huge area of field/terrain with a lot of horses and minifigs engaged in battles. I wonder if there's one of those giant elephant looking creatures in the lego LotR sets? That would be SIC

Theory about the next big LOTR set. We had an easter egg in Rivendell last year of The Eye of Sauron/Barad-Dur. So given that the Palantir is showing the shire and or the White Tree of Gondor on fire.... Maybe we will get a more fleshed out Bag-end or Minas Tirith? Leaning more toward the White city, where we can get the Witch King of Angmar

I did not purchase Rivendell. However, I'm planning on, eventually, purchasing Barad-Dur. I don't know when since I'm saving up money for another move, but this is a must buy, imo. I mean, it's the Eye of Sauron, one of the most iconic images in both film and literature-and in fiction as a whole. And this set is a work of art.

Great review video! I was waiting for this to come out to get a better look. This set does look stunning and I think I have to get it. One criticism, but it might be a little nit-picking I’m not a huge fan of the orc kitchen or the interior of the first level having so much empty space like you mentioned. Overall a fantastic set and the exterior is perfect but when compared to Rivendell I think I definitely prefer Rivendell just for the details and everything felt perfect… but I know we don’t see the interior of this in the movies so it makes sense it’s a little less detailed

I hope we get at least two more giant sets for LOTR... Minas Tirith (go huge!! Make this the UCS Falcon of LOTR!!) and the Shire (make this one ~$200-250... similar to the Mid-evil Village). And fill in the gaps with affordable sets (treebeard?, Gandalf v balrog, ahhh so many options)

The mithril tile is frodo's armor, stripped from him by the orcs who found him after Frodo was attacked by Shelob. It was sent to Sauron. When Aragorn's arrived the Mouth of Sauron showed it to Aragorn to make him think Frodo was death. So very clever to include it in this set. It is also in the Rivendell set.

Overall, I really dig this model! I think it contrasts Rivendell and would make an incredible display piece. I think the interior has some…interesting choices. I always imagine orcs eating things raw or over a crudely built fire, so imagining them sitting around the table for dinner is odd to me. I feel like I would have preferred a gothic staircase inside the gates and given that larger space to a proper throne room with guards. Or, a large built spider in the caves underneath.
