It’s okay

Verified Purchase:No
Didn’t love it, ended up just falling apart after build. Felt bad buyers remorse is not worth the money to me. Looks so good on display as long as you are not looking at it from the side. Too tall with not enough support.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy John, LEGO® Customer Service, November 20, 2024
That shouldn't be the case with this towering fortress! If rebuilding hasn't made things more stable, please get in touch with us so we do some hands-on troubleshooting at LEGO.build/Service-BV.

Set Of the Year, minor let down
on June 8, 2024
Posted by: Semper
This will be a review for those who want the tower in itself and dont expect any GWP. The tower itself is absolutely stunning and highly detailed. The absolute center of attention with a menancing glare! Minor let down of not recieving the GWP as promised by Lego, but that will not affect my review of the tower itself. The GWP is a company issue they need to figure out or learn from. The minifigs included are few for the price but all are amazingly detailed and top of the line. Would highly recommend this set for any LOTR fan!

Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo?

The Barad-dur was a challenging build, especially the third part. I consider myself as an expert builder but I had to rebuild the tower no less than 4 times. The studs to connect the outer layer are simply not strong enough to hold. There should have been more studs on the outside of the curved panels. Here are some tips. Make sure you know what color is to be used. Many colors are similar. Sorting is a must. If you don't sort double your build time. While it is possible to have a person build each section, I would recommend having the same person build the entire set, and here's why. There are so many storytelling moments that culminate until the last page. Having multiple people build short changes that experience. When it's done, it's majestic. As Gimli said, 'Certainty of sore fingers, *small* chance of success... What are we waiting for?' Well, not exactly but no truer words were spoken. Glad I'm done. 7 days 19 hours casual building.

Lego did not disappoint.

Lord of the Rings was my introduction to Lego in the first place and all I have ever wished for was a Barad-dur set and Lego did not disappoint. The building experience was top notch and I even watched all the movies while doing it. The minifigures are amazing (would’ve been cool to get Isildur tho), the size and model is just perfect. Absolutely love the color choices because it makes the set stand out in the best way. Best purchase I think I’ve ever made in my life and the interior is just *chefs kiss*, each room feels very fitting and just the right amount of that classic Lego charm. I love this set with all my heart and I’m going to keep staring at it for hours
