Graham Gidman Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Here's probably my only entry for Category A: The Missing Set. I chose to do Mount Doom. I'm not really sure why LEGO never did this scene, seeing how it is the most important of the movie. This comes three play features, all coinciding with the movie, as are the minifigure's outfits: Sam's dirty, and without all the equipment printed on his actual, LEGO-made torso, and Frodo's dirty and torn. Setname: 79022 Mount Doom Parts: 201 Minifigures: 3 Price: $24.99 The play features, like a handle for Frodo to hold onto. A lever, that if you pull... ...this will happen. And finally, a launcher that fires, well... fire. ;) Edited October 30, 2014 by Graham Gidman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Gareth Posted October 30, 2014 Awesome entry, Graham Gidman! I love everything about this. The play features are well done, the build itself's great, and the pictures look just like the official Lego ones. Nice job. Best of luck in the contest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artanis I Posted October 30, 2014 Nice looking set, and the play features are good ideas & well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathleech Posted October 30, 2014 This feels like a real set Lego might make. The only thing is the price seems very high. It's almost 15 cents per piece and this has no large molded creatures, large brick pieces, or special molds? A $19.99 price tag, or even 24.99 seems much more reasonable?

Tomsche Posted October 30, 2014 Awesome `little set` you`ve put together there, I really like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disco86 Posted October 30, 2014 That is a really believable set and also your presentation makes it look even more realistic. You captured the original style and added some neat play Features. The only Thing that I dislike about it is, that we are getting no figures we really Need. Evenif if Frodo's Torso is looking pretty good. Good luck ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zerobricks Posted October 30, 2014 Your MOC makes me think... HOW DID THEY FORGET THAT... And that IMO is the best example of the point of this contest. I like the floor tilting feature, it adds to playability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adolfo Posted October 30, 2014 You had a very nice idea with that lever and launcher system. Is so simple and functional. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see your point, I'll drop it to $24.99. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mccoyed Posted October 30, 2014 I think I'd like to see a version of this with Isildur and Elrond or Sauron instead, keeping Disco86's comment about figs in mind. That said, this is the most obvious version of a Mt. Doom build and works so well it's hard to be like "I wish it had x fig". It's a great concept and execution and flawlessly feels like something TLG did in another universe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floed Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Congrats ! That's awesome, why LEGO did not made this set ? ... That could be the occasion to have two new minifigs like in the video game, sam and frodo exhausted : Edited October 31, 2014 by floed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
