It doesn’t look that tall, but the tower on the left is 12 Hobbits tall …I hereby propose to use Hobbits as a measuring unit. You’re welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sahidko Posted February 3, 2023 Yeah that's why i didn't get people complaining about size. I think it's going to be much bigger in reality than this blurred picture shows right now. I accept your proposal. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve seen comments that this set should only be $300 or less. Come on, this is 80cm wide, at least 40cm tall, and pretty deep too! I think the price is justified, especially with the piece count and number of minifigs in mind Edit: It’s actually either 11 or 12 Hobbits tall, depending on which one you pick as a reference Hoping for the former, would save me a headache Edited February 3, 2023 by BrickBob Studpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorilla94 Posted February 3, 2023 What do you guys think? Could we see the cmf24 orc jaw piece again in the lotr line? I have to say I adore it. It gives orcs a more cartoonish vibe and keeps the cuteness minifigures should have in my opinion. I always disliked those disgusting mouths on the original Lego lotr orcs ^^' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sahidko Posted February 3, 2023 Honesly I don't think so and I personally hope we don't. As you mentioned bit too cartoonish for my taste. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great piece, but it doesn’t fit the Middle-Earth style of Orc at all, in my opinion. Looks more like the WoW orcs with their tusk-like teeth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That jaw piece on LOTR Orcs just doesn’t work. Orc mouths are supposed to be disgusting not cartoony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the rumors are true that it gets revealed next week, there might be early access, recently sets without VIP have been getting revealed only a few days before, this would be like 2-3 weeks before Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woodford86 Posted February 3, 2023 If there's no good GWP I'll just hold off for that or a double VIP personally My Lego room is currently overflowing with all the stuff we moved around the basement for reno's anyway :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lordhelmet Posted February 3, 2023 Day one purchase for me too. Would be disappointed if they do not ship enough sets but I’ll be at the store before it opens. Don’t want to wait for a future shipment. It might be nice if they limit purchases early as well. I am hoping they do a decent gwp though would make waiting all these years even nicer.
