I've built many sets in my life but nothing compares to this one. It was by FAR the most difficult. I was about 7 hours into it when I realized I had made a critical error in the very beginning. Had to take it completely apart and restart. Guess that means I got my money's worth since I had to essentially do it twice 🥴 but it was definitely fun and looks AMAZING next to all my other sets!

After building Rivendell, I was really hoping that this set was in the works and I’m so glad it was made! This thing demands your attention and is structurally very stable. The light brick is a good idea but I decided a light kit was necessary. The interior is fun and full of great easter eggs. I’m surprised nobody on YouTube has pointed out that the green drink in the dining hall is grog.

The Eye

Absolutely awesome set, loved everything but two small details. First, Sauron’s helmet feel fragile despite being rubber, that’s not legos fault though, and second, the light is two red, should’ve been white or orange, maybe even yellow. These are so small and ignorable though that I honestly don’t care too much. This is my new favorite set I have!

Building Barad-Dûr was an unforgettable experience. After completing Rivendell, I knew I had to add Barad-Dûr to my collection. The addition of a light kit truly brought the set to life, enhancing its already stunning design. LEGO should be incredibly proud of both Rivendell and Barad-Dûr—I can’t imagine anything ever surpassing these two masterpieces.

Ignore the negative reviews, they're mostly gift with purchase related. My initial thoughts were already positive before I started building. The only negative being the figure count. I think this set could have used a few more figs for the price point. However, the build was outstanding and when you but the finished tower on top of the base......top tier. the build really made me forget the figure count, on top of the fact that the Sauron fig is basically perfect. Definitely worth it, it looks SO good.

Meats back on the menu with this set. It's just amazing with no flaws. There is some little blue spots that you can't see unless you look really hard for them. The design is strong, elegant, and mysterious. Can't wait for the next lotr set coming.

Magnificent but expensive

The set looks awesome and seems far bigger and impressive in person than on pictures. Despite the high price I really enjoyed the process of building this iconic tower. I also like the interior details of the build, however I have to criticise the lighting of the eye (perhaps the red light is only meant to showcase the specific scene in the "Return of the King", when the eye glows red before the tower starts collapsing), but I think for this price a permanent lighting option (e.g a brick powered via usb included in the set) would have enhanced the set and further justified the price. I personally fixed this small issue by installing a mini spotlight on the wall behind it and it looks great. In conclusion: Great display piece, but with a small improvement from Lego it could be superb.
