We all love LOTR and this set really pulled hit it off with the boys. for the cost... I'd give it a "C" just because it's known Lego has gotten expensive. But, for the reaction my kids gave when they saw the box and put it together... still an A+ reaction and they love the display. Not a complicated build, a little delicate but very good add to the collection.
It's very expensive for not very much. It's definitely an awesome looking set when viewed from afar but wasn't very impressive while building. You have to build the exact same thing twice when building the two "walls." It was very repetitive. I think my biggest complaint is the whip. It's pretty sad looking and cheap.
Balrog looks great displayed next to Barad, Gandalf looks better than ever hanging out in another scene, and the build itself modified into a nice backdrop for yet another scene. As is, was not a fan though tbh.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cool build, until I got to the end and realized the sent me a duplicate face piece, and have to wait 8 + weeks for the piece to finish it. Beyond sucks
