Great idea

I'm a lord of the rings fan and Lego parent/collector. The price is plain bad for what you get. I enjoyed the build overall, it's a nice little diorama but I feel like there was more room for a better detailed set...the balrog feels a little clunky too. Hope there's a few more sets in the future
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The Balrog’s wings hook up to the flanges so they unfurl when you fold it out. Which is a neat touch, it looks pretty good folded out all the way. The price is a big ask though. Rivendell and Barad-Dur were excellent for the price, and I don’t like seeing this and the Shire set trending in the other direction.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Balrog are as a bit of a wonky build, I felt like some of the pieces would disconnect with a slight touch. The whip is a joke/ridculous. I also got a piece that makes the arm loose so he can’t hold it upright. I was excited to see a smaller LOTR set (since running out of space) but definitely overpriced. But obviously got it since I have the other LOTR sets.

Great Lego Book Nook

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the packaging is beautiful in the black elegant box. The structural design feels solid, and the bricks are the high-quality plastic you'd expect from LEGO. The overall LEGO experience is definitely great. The columns are designed with geometry and are very versatile. The color gradient is effective in creating the illusion of fire. The Balrog is very intimidating with its size compared to Gandalf. It is an improved design vs in the video game. I LOVE the flames in the background. They do have a distinct look, & its very nice.. It does not interfere with Balrog's wings when the nook closes. Love the set and I can't wait to see the next design. Thank you so much.

After putting together a wonderful Sherlock Holmes Book Nook, LOTR is a let down.. from Balrog to the overall design, it's a let down & unsure why this would be considered a book nook. It looks incomplete.

I was disappointed with the build of the Balrog - thought there could have been better detail throughout the build - especially on its back for an adult set. The reuse of the wings from another set was disappointing. I felt this was really overpriced for the value received.

Childish-looking

The pictures of the set make it look okay, but it is much uglier in real life. The Balrog looks nothing like it did in the movie. It looks like a children's stuffed toy. Also, this thing is way overpriced. Would not recommend
