    Well bit late to the party but what a disappointing GWP this ended up being. :D Unfortunately I was delaying some purchases to be able to acquire it but right now I guess I will try to resell it immediately. As someone who owns the original there is nothing here worth keeping.

    Two new torsos, four new printed legs, two new heads, a recoloured hairpiece, two different printed shields, and possibly the classic Viking helmet recoloured in PDG, is lame??
     

    Where did I argue the quality of minifigs included? But yeah 4 figs for set of this size is lame no matter how good they are.

    I ordered mine online immediately it became available. Received it on Tuesday and today I just finished building it. Guess I was the lucky one. Anyway my original plan where to display it didn't work out so currently it's just sitting next to the TV. Thinking about getting some display case for it in the future.

    Regarding the building experience, not a big fan of the chairs. The design is nice but the build not so much + don't like the figures are not attached to them at all. So you just look at them wrong and all the minifigs go flying immidiately.

    If Barad-dur is 83cm high i think i won't have space already for set number 2. :D Barely made one for Rivendell, hope the 39cm height is accurate.

    Not even Durin and Elrond? Even people that hate this show's guts usually at least like that part :laugh:

    Nope because they were part of that stupid mithril story line which didn't make any sense.

    Ok let's look at HP as an example. We have a great Burrow set from not that long ago which apparently didn't prevent LEGO from making a UCS version. So what makes you think that decade old Helm's Deep or Bag End should be an exception? Just to be clear i am not advocating for LEGO to remake those sets as priority (i own both of them) but i am realistic enough to undestand that it may happen regardless of the fact that we already got those locations in the past (and before we get places like Lothlorien i wanted to add...)

    Yes, there are countless scenes that would be amazing to recreate. A smaller vignette could be the bridge passage in the Mines of Moria with the Balrog fight. But it seems we are getting only large D2C sets

    And I think they do look back - the Barad-dûr looks like a perfect companion to the Tower of Orthanc

    Sure but do you believe they are going to release Barad-Dur because they made Orthanc before or because it makes sense to make such set whether Orthanc exists or not? Releasing such set because it will look good with another set from a decade ago doesn't seem like a great idea. It's a nice bonus but definitely not a major factor.

    I had started buying parts to make LegoMocLoc’s Lothlorien.. but it may have to wait now .. I think with Lego having done Rivendell they may wait a while and produce others before the other main Elf home.

    Same here. Feel bit bad for LegoMocLoc given now people are probably going to wait what other LOTR sets LEGO is going to produce in the future. But on the other hand i already bought some of his instructions so whether i actually build those or not is irrelevant for him. :D
