February 7, 20232 yr Oh, cool, they gave Gimli some hair as well! Are those pieces that make up theĀ plinth the ring sit upon new? I could swear I've seen them in something else recently, but I'm not sure. Ha, of course it's a Mike Psiaki! Best designer they got right now, by far. Really looking forward to building it now.
February 7, 20232 yr I just noticed GlĆ³in is using the Owen/Tony Stark shirt xD. That's a bit weird. Also, isn't this the first time in a while that we have had a piece in chrome?
February 7, 20232 yr This looks absolutely stunning. Incredible building techniques, so many great minifigs, so many great new pieces... man I really, REALLY hope we're getting some standard retail sets at some point soon. This and the rumored Tower of Orthanc are just too massive and over-priced. Honestly, 2 of the things I want most are a Treebeard set and a Balrog set. Both would have to be large brick-built creatures and considering how much LEGO loves making mechs and mech-like builds, would fit perfectly in the $60-$80 range.

February 7, 20232 yr It's funny how I guessed it was a hour till reveal and then it was immediately revealed I've read through the set description properly now. So 5th for VIPs , with the existing Frodo and gollum brickheadz as a nonexclusive gwp. I guess I can alway give brickhead Frodo better hair. Ā

I think it works perfectly, since dwarves are canonically taller than hobbits 19 minutes ago, Agent Kallus said: New fern part is a nice unexpected surprise. A prototype ofĀ the piece itself leaked months ago, but I didnāt expect to see it here This is an absolutely stunning set! So many cool details and references Ā And itās identical to the leak too!! Ā

February 7, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, BrickBob Studpants said: I think it works perfectly, since dwarves are canonically taller than hobbits ļæ¼ Well yeah, I get where they were going for, it works great next to the Hobbits, but less so next to the humans and Elves in my mind, and since GimliĀ is seen mostly next to Legolas it looks a bit too big imo. But I suppose neither one of the pieces would have been perfect.
February 7, 20232 yr Is that an armoury with all new weapons and a new STING??? I love how they made pieces to look like the hobbits are sitting! Those pictures of possible future designs look awesome!
February 7, 20232 yr Omg the made molded Anduril AND Narsil!? This is everything I wanted. Fantastic job Lego.
February 7, 20232 yr Wow these set is amazing. I really hope they include a fully repaired Narsil sword š
February 7, 20232 yr Super cool, set looks great. The figures do too. Although, a few things I would change, such as more dual moulded boots on certain figures and swapping Elrond's head and hairpiece out for the original ones, Gandalf also deserved a new hat piece with hair and it would've been better if they had white hobbit hair for Bilbo. Couple of the original face prints were better, if you ask me, but overall they succeeded for sure and it may be hard to resist getting this one. Good to see the theme back, hope it does well and spawns more LOTR sets. All the new moulds are really cool, they even gave Boromir his own sword mould. Edited February 7, 20232 yr by General Magma
February 7, 20232 yr Greatest lego set of all time, hands down. My only complaint WHY DID THEY MAKE GIMLI A GINGER
February 7, 20232 yr I love the printed tiles that make some of the floor inside the house. No wonder this is 6000 pieces.

February 7, 20232 yr 44 minutes ago, Alegrispa said: Lol, they gave Frodo additional pieces so he can sit. Gandalf and Elrond as well. It looks like they've created a new weapon accessory pack like for Ninjago sets. With that and Aragorn not being in his most recognisable outfit would make you think there are more sets on the way, and 5 years ago there may have been. But now I don't think so and I can only say; what a shame. Well we've already seen Barad-dƻr, this was from the same source and the survey was about pricing not whether the sets should exist in the first place. ( I think) I dunno but some of the choices they've made here gives me renewed hope
February 7, 20232 yr This is by far the most beautifull location set ever made in Lego history. No kidding. I am just stunned. Hope that there are only few stickers (if none I would be in heaven). I slowes sown a little bit with buying sets I like on day, therefore I have a quite long list of sets I will get eventually, but this, THIS is definitelly day 1 purchase. I am also curious how big the Minas Tirith or Helms deep would be, once they hit the shelves (because they will) :)Ā
February 7, 20232 yr This set is incredible. So many amazing details. I'm sure it's nostalgia talking, but I like the old figs better. Especially the elves. That new hair piece makes them look like they all have receding hairlines.
February 7, 20232 yr So all the Dots pieces are in this set now? Just kidding The set is stunningly beautiful In the future i'd like to see a moc with more landscape and trees around the set. It will be perfect

Otherwise, in about a year Ashwin (grafic designer) hinted that LotR will retur in March next yearā¦ obviously he talked about Barad dur since the set is now in development.Ā
