    It’s almost a guarantee that they will build the Eye so that it can be lit be a light brick. So probably made of trans orange/yellow/red parts with a light brick underneath

    I wouldn’t expect a helmed Witch King, they’ll save that one if they actually do have plans with the theme. But I don’t see the other side builds being any less realistic than a fell beast. Each option would be about the same size. It’s like the Ent that came with Orthanc. Or the Leviathan that came with Avengers Tower. It happens all the time, those aren’t micro builds. I could see any of them happening honestly, especially with the inclusion of Frodo and Sam. Since they never go near the tower itself, I can see them giving those characters something to interact with

    I’ve been thinking lately about whether Barad-Dûr will have a side build of some sort. If that’s the case, I think the likeliest possibilities are a Fell Beast, Shelob, or the entrance to the Sammath Naur.

    “All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath Dínen.”

    I highly doubt it. If that’s a possibility at all then they were probably waiting to see how the other sets they released sell before they designed playsets. We’ve seen small rushed waves of sets in the past but it doesn’t seem like that’s happening or we likely would have heard something. I think we will have to wait until 2025 to see whether the theme sticks around I agree, it sounds like they have plans for the theme just based on comments from several different people. I still really hope for a full blown theme with playsets and dioramas and battle packs and such. But I think 2025 is the earliest we would see anything like that

    You would think, and so would I, but clearly they thought differently. BH in general must sell well enough since they keep doing them. But they also probably haven’t had time to plan and design playsets for this year just going off of sales of last year’s BH and Rivendell. Barad-Dûr had to have been planned at least tentatively long before because they don’t just design and release huge D2Cs in a matter of months

    We were always going to get more Brickheadz…between the BH and Rivendell people have shown lego that we simply want more LOTR products. Getting another BH pack doesn’t mean we won’t get anything else. It won’t be this year because they hadn't gotten a chance to see how the license sells yet. The BH didn’t even sell THAT well. Rivendell did. There will be more, especially if Barad-Dûr does well. I’ll be very surprised if 2025 doesn’t yield even more

    Legolas and Gimli Brickheadz confirmed!

    Reinventing the wheel does seem to be a trend with this theme though

    I think these are some very unrealistic expectations. Also…you understand that they’re not going to make scientifically accurate dinos for Jurassic franchise sets, right? They’re going to make dinos with Jurassic franchise designs

    I’m really not trying to sound like a jerk, I know I’ve been coming off pretty harsh lol. I do think it’s wild to think the green roofs look better than the grey. It makes no sense. Grey is accurate, it’s not even debatable. Green is not. And it really is just ugly to me. If some people like green better because of the nostalgia, whatever. Personally, I’m really happy to see the green roofs go away

    Totally different. You were saying how much of a travesty it is that everything wasn’t at exact minifig scale lol which is clearly unrealistic I can’t even fathom this take. The green roofs are some of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen in lego form

    It’s not even an opinion thing, Hogwarts doesn’t have green roofs, inaccurate is inaccurate

    Now that we’ve thankfully moved away from the ugly green roofs, I’m actually really excited to see more of the Hogwarts sets in the new style

    With the Grey roofs returning, I’m very excited to see the new Great Hall set. For that price, I’m sure it’s more than just the Hall. Ship and Carriage sounds very promising too! Hopefully we’ll hear some minifig lineups for these soon
