They first need to know how high the demand is. If these sets sell well then they will likely release cheaper/smaller sets. They also responded to someone asking a similar thing on a different social media and their response was that people should be looking out for them.

3:24 Meats back on the menu! Its canon in the movie that orc know what a menu is, so its only fitting that they have a big restaurant space.

05:30 I think really Sauron should’ve had the tall legs. I mean he’s supposed to be bigger than humans or Orcs or even his own mouth, but here he’s just as tall as anyone else! 🤔🤷
@joevictor53 14 күн бұрын
Why are Lego so scared of giving us tall legs? I understand for the last 10 years because they'd not been used since Toy Story but we've had Avatar and Eggman using tall legs recently so why are they still using regular ones for figures like Sauron and Gru?

Looks great overall, but for this price tag they should have made new prints for Frodo and Sam so they would be accurate to this part of the movie.

Sauron should have that avatar tall minifig legs...
@gasonfeist7238 14 күн бұрын
1.) The build and interior is immaculate, even if I cannot see where all the bricks are going from the pics. The light needs a toggle to stay on. 2.) The Orcs and baddies look great. However, Gollum looks a bit off and less iconic than his 2010s LEGO version. Missed opportunity to use long Avatar legs and arms for Sauron. 3.) The heroes are lazy, inaccurate reuses that look nothing like Frodo and Sam from this point in the film. 4.) The Felbeast GWP is less than inspired. A few Nazgûl should've been in the set, if not the Fellbeast itself. (But better, of course.) 5.) Or LEGO could actually make smaller sets, like a proper Fellbeast with the Witch King, Éowyn, Pippin, and Théoden. The Brickheadz aren't doing it.
@somethingawesome9547 14 күн бұрын
You can actually expand the height of the set. It’s designed to accommodate a second Barad-Dur purchase 😬
@thecaptainslog9581 14 күн бұрын
Personally, I love it when reviews do more than just review the set, specifically, I would love if you would put it in perspective with some of the taller sets lego has made in that scale (ninjago city gardens/daily bugle/etc)

it seems like everything about this is sort of B+ acceptable, but there are lots of missed opportunities to make it more deluxe given the price.

Shame its not a fully closed tower. I was hoping for something kinda like the Lego Motorised lighthouse where its fully enclosed but has sections you can remove to see the interior. Ah well I still can't wait to get this, it's honestly the one Lego set that I've always wanted lego to do ever since they first brought out the Lord of the rings theme.
@CalebDennis1 14 күн бұрын
This looks incredible, but why can't Lego make smaller desirable sets that don't cost more than half a month's rent? The GWP is nice, but I'm sure it will only be available for a week or less because they want to cause FOMO, which is gross.
@Osprey2511 14 күн бұрын
I’m a little disappointed that the helmet and shoulder armor piece for Sauron is a single mold as we can’t use it for custom large-scale figure builds.

Yes! Lego finally made another Lego Batman movie set! All jokes aside though, I’m actually excited for that new Sauron minifigure & it’s nice to see an updated Gollum minifigure with a modern design for the eyes instead of those clone wars style eyes we got previously.

Hello, Jang. Once you are reviewing this new set, could you please also compare it 'side-by-side' to the Tower of Orthanc? That would be lovely. Do you still own that set?
@BLAZEREN101 14 күн бұрын
Man long gone are amazing LEGO sets at a decent price it's seriously sad. Even the Rivendell set in Australia is $800 and this will be the same. $1600 for 2 LEGO sets should make anyone disgusted and just makes even thinking about collecting these a massive financial mistake. I seriously wish that wasn't the case because i would love all these.
@edoardom3677 14 күн бұрын
There are tons of amazing cheap sets for adult collectors too, but I agree, they have this obsession with massive minifig scale sets lately and at the end of the day, one has to make choices, we unfortunately can't have it all
@joevictor53 14 күн бұрын
@@edoardom3677yeah people exaggerate like this and make it seem like there are no decent priced great Lego sets. They still exist. It's just Lego has been slowly increasing the upper limits for their bigger sets. That's fine for some stuff but it's annoying when that line only has those few sets and nothing more affordable

Yup. And in 2012 the whole first lord of the rings wave was $372 usd.

@gilgalad6231 14 күн бұрын
Either we get brickheads or $400+ sets for LOTR. Don’t get me wrong, this is a day 1 purchase for me. But, Id like a bit of mid sized sets. Even if they don’t want to go playset size, $250 sets would be nice.
@tomvannouv4991 11 сағат бұрын
Great review! I remember when you could order dvd’s from a service through the mail for like $0.01 and they sent each LOTR movie, which I never opened to watch. I think I ending up gifting to a friend instead. Ha $400, wow, I would like to use this for a potential mortal kombat build!

i think what this set is most similar to is the disney castle that came out last year. the height dimensions are near identical and they have a flat open back with a bunch of rooms. I feel like I don’t see how that set could be 5500 pieces but it looks pretty darn cool
@AgentOrange88785 14 күн бұрын
I 100% thought this was going to be $500 plus. Hearing under 500 is cool
@thrillhouse4151 14 күн бұрын
That’s like $1400 for 3 LOTR/DnD sets from the last couple years, i can’t handle it, and if I don’t get em they’ll end up like $800 apiece, it’s not a good feeling. I can still expect every good deal to be missing the entirety of the minifigures when it comes to bricklink and stuff.
@talarion997 14 күн бұрын
The brick built Eye is amazing, really good job. Had it been a sticker or print I would have been really disappointed. I don't have any LotR sets and frankly I don't think I will get it, but if I had to pick one it would be this over Rivendell. It's THE iconic thing out of the movies.

Tower looks great. But I‘m a little underwhelmed by the GWP, to be honest. It looks too basic for the rest of the line. I was hoping for a more fleshed out and more detailed build which also could have been done in the same size. Chance missed, unfortunately…

3:30 reminds me of when I built a police station MOC (or more of an alt built from the 1999 green window juniorized police station), and I put a pizza kitchen in the lobby. My brother said, "When you walk into a police station, you don't see a pizza. You see police stuff!" Of course, they could have just been eating pizza while working on a case.

It's ok but Rivendell was much better. Looks too small for €460. Also didn't need so many Orcs. At least the Gift with Purchase is missable

They showed in the later pictures that you can buy multiple and stack the modules. Now, rich or not, anyone who buys multiple just so you can make it taller is an idiot. BUUUUUT, I totally see myself buying the parts for the upper modules on bricklink to get an accurate height proportion.
