Great model, but poorly lit
on June 12, 2024
Posted by: Drinking with Skeletons
Everything about this model is great: the look, the construction, the details. But as you stack up the layers, all the fun details of the interior are lost in shadow. It really needed some kind of lighting element.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect representation
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: Michael
Barad dur is one of the most imposing things from Middle Earth. The lego team managed to recreate it perfectly in this build. It has a lot of smart part usages to make things look texturized on the outside of the tower. The Eye itself looks amazing in lego form and again looks perfect.
It has plenty of great Easter eggs as wells and funny things you can put together on the inside! You get Gothmog, the general from the battle of Pelenor Fields as well as 4 generic orcs that you can make many scenes with
The only reason I gave the building process a 4/5 was due to some parts being a bit repetitive. But that's no fault the designers, that's just how a build like this would have to work to make it look as perfect as it does.
I have this displayed next to my Rivendell and it more than twice it's height and looks fantastic on my shelf!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fantastic for any LOTR fan

Fantastic set. Lots of nostalgia and an awesome way to do justice to a build of the tower of Barad-dur. Great build, excellent minfigures and a few fun moveable/play features for the cherry on top. Definitely would recommend if its in the budget.

Another home run
on July 21, 2024

Peak Lego Lord of the Rings once again. I just finished building this set and wow. Seeing it in person is a whole different experience. It really demands one's attention, with its striking color scheme, impressive size and the simple iconicity of the tower it is based on. I love this set so much, and I can't wait to see what's next.

The Hour is Later Than You Think!

Now I can sleep soundly knowing Sauron's lidless eye is keeping vigilant watch. Great build! Here's hoping we could get more LOTR towers from LEGO!

Verified Purchase:Yes
Multiple missing pieces and months-long wait for replacements made this a complete disappointment. For the price, QA needs to be ramped up on pieces missing. Also- the manual was confusing with various shades of brown and gray not matching the print colors and it often being confusing to determine what of the 3 browns or grays you were using if there wasn't a lighter or darker colored piece next to it to compare. Others look awesome, but there was no joy in this build.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased this item on June 2nd 2024 and I didn't get any of the gwp because they ran out, very disappointed, that was the reason I purchased during the gwp promo, so I can get the exclusives.
I would recommend this to a friend!
