Worst LOTR Set
on July 7, 2024
Posted by: DreamyWizzard
From its inception I was very excited to get my hands on this set and build it. Being a big fan of the Rivendell set I was surely expecting this set to live up to the hype. Unfortunately, like many other reviews this set was merely a cash grab by Lego. Poorly designed and put together. Many pieces missing from the set especially bag 8, unacceptable at the high price tag. The design is very poor and looks similar to the avatar air bender sets from a decade ago, having no personality or playability. The tower has many pieces that breaks off easily making it hard to adjust when moving minifigures around or rearranging props around the set. I expected better from Lego and will be looking out for a refund for such a disappointing build.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear about that. It's rare for LEGO® set to have many missing pieces, so we're here to help. Please give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can not only get the parts you need requested, but also give you a hand on unstable parts of the build.

Missing pieces again
on January 27, 2025

Verified Purchase:No
I don’t know what is going on at Lego command but more and more sets are missing pieces and more and more reviews are about missing pieces. Please Lego fix this issue. When we are spending this kind of money for these sets we don’t want to wait weeks for Lego to send us more pieces because they dropped the ball the first time.
Set returned with dissatisfaction.

Excellent Set
on June 8, 2024
Posted by: Hobbi
I waited for a long time for this set and it has been nothing but amazing so far. The way the set is designed is phenomenal along with the Easter eggs included in the instruction books. I will continue to enjoy this set as I slowly build it since it's so massive!
One small gripe I have is that the boxed components inside were put on top of the loose components for odd weight distribution and that I missed a few parts, although they were relatively minor and barely noticable unless you looked for them.
Overall a very phenomenal set!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I did not receive the GWP (like many others), but the minute I started the build my disappointment vanished. The model is excellent.

It nice
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: Mr.CaptivatingBat104
Its everything lego says. I find the set very nice. It is expensive and I find that to be a saddening factor. 4.1 stars Riverdale is 4.2. Nothing is perfect on my scale to 5

Can we really say Barud-Dur is beautiful?
on June 13, 2024
Posted by: MuscularTricycle077
...because this set certainly is! The scale is off a bit, since Barud-Dur is supposed to be the largest, most terrifying fortress in Middle Earth, but it is beautifully designed! I can't wait to display it next to my Orthanc!
Next up, the 10,000+ piece Minas Tirith set! PLEASE, please, please make that one!
