    I love the new Sea Serpent. Figs are great, I expect nothing more. Zelda shield is weird. But its casued by its shape… New logo is awesome. Hipe for full Black Knight Castle soon :)

    This way of displaying MT just makes the set look even smaller and out fo scale… It works woth few guards on lowest wall, but thats it. With army kike that outside the gates, it is just too small…

    Depends... :) Printed cloth sail and printed shield should be a basic standard, since we are talking of a redesigredesign/remaken / remake of the old classic set. I am glad that Lego will apparently hold to that. The only question is, wheter the currrent torsos can represent a Black knight faction? Is the Griphon Knight torso allright? Its moslty silver and dark red, so the colour scheme doesn't resemble the original scheme of Black knights. What else do we have...? So... if Lego chooses to do this set right, they will come up with at least one newly printed torso which could be universally used (such as printed breastplate or scale mail on classic red or black torso). If not, we get some mix of existing otrsos (Griphon Knight as a most probable addept) and thats it....

    So.. Mumakil. What are the odds that this set includes Theoden, Eowyn and Whitch King? ;) Yeah, I thought that Whitch King and Eowyn belongs to the Minas Tirith set, and voilá! They are not there. And no orc eithet (if you dont count Grond GWP). And, its not just about new parts for Uruks. There would be new parts for Rohirim, possibly Aragorn (Anduril), Haldir etc… Based on previous sets, how many new molds did we get? In Minas Tirith, only helmets for soldiers and crown/hair mold for Aragorn. In Barad Dur? Sauron and his Mouth helmets and pack of orc helmets (and Gollum), in Shire? Nothing… so…

    2 elven soldiers in Helms Deep? Oh please... :D That requires a new mold for the helmet and new prints for torso and legs... I guess that we get Haldir at max. Regarding the Uruk-Hai, I am not sure whether they will be included...I would love to have them, but then again, new molds for helmets, new prints... So Theoden, Éomer, Éowyn in her dress, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and a few soldiers of Rohan (like Gamling and 2 warriors) is the more realistic approach. I guess new Helmets for Théoden and Éomer, Gamling will be without helmet, and regular soldiers with viking helmet (reuse of already existing mold) with possible unique print...Aragorn in his traditional brown outfit, Gimli in chainmail (please!), and Legolas with his light armour. That's enough novelty based on experience with other LOTR sets...

    Did anyone noticed that in Dustmarks Keep is a little Sea Serpent ship model? :) see (6:18)

    I hope Barad Dur will hold up at least till the end of next year. I want to pick it up eventually but not now, now its a Minas Tirith time :)
  8. Blazej_Holen
    Wait, Barad Dur will retire in 2027?
  9. Blazej_Holen
    Rohan is next almost for sure. But hardly Edoras… Helms Deep most probably. Edoras is harder to translate than Minas Tirith (if you dont want to do Meduseld only or a small portion of the Rohan capital…)
  10. Blazej_Holen
    Yeah, I had this direction in my mind as well… Some diorama with Witch King on Fell Beast, Theoden, Eowyn and Merry in rohan attite… Still I think that set like this would be at least for $150 at least. I cant see TLG making Meduseld or Wdoras in any sense. Only Rohan-themed set I can imagine is Helms Deep. There could be Eowyn as well in dress, and also Theoden in his kingly outfitt (as well as in the armored one). Other figures are tricky… few Rohan soldiers (how many depends on how big the set would be), but regardin Uruk Hai Iam not sure…
  11. Blazej_Holen
    So what are the odds that we get Pellenor fields battle next year? You know, with Witch King, Eowyn, etc.? 😉
  12. Blazej_Holen
    These towers are not in scale with Grond, or...?
  13. Blazej_Holen
    Its a pity that they didnt made Anduril for Aragorn… we have shards of Narsil in Rivendell but no reforged sword… :/
  14. Blazej_Holen
    Third I am afraid. At least for me, it seems Barad Dur is slightly better…
  15. Blazej_Holen
    I think that the whole set is usable and firs into castle theme perfectly. New Chinese Lunar Year set…
  16. Blazej_Holen
    There are quite enough figs since the build is more for display than play… Its focused almost exclusively on Gondor so absence of Orc and Rohan is understandable. And since you have no place to display showdown between Gandalf and Withch King, it make sense that he is not there as well…
  17. Blazej_Holen
    The GWP issue in general is pretty stupid. LEgo shouldnt lock these small sets or dioramas behind the FOMO and hour 1 buy. Even though I undesrtand their marketign and sales strategy, i consider this as a pretty pathetic from a company such as this one.
  18. Blazej_Holen
    I would have problem with this set ending the LOTR Icons line… There are plenty of scenes and locations for years to come…
  19. Blazej_Holen
    Nope, its a standard longsword from the Tournament knight CMF. Aragorn have the same one. So no new mold for Narsil as far as I can see... :/ Rohirrim cavalry...you mean Theodén on horse (at most)? :D :D :D Its gone...

    Ehat ICONS tournament do sou have in mind? 😀🤔 What ICONS tournament do you have in mind? 😀🤔

    I personally love the final look. Iam not a great fan of BDP but, I have Mountain fortress and preorder on Outlaw Foredt Den. I have to admit that this series are wonderfull. Japanese restaurant and Fortuna… rhose are great designs and great looking builds. AW is kinda simillar to th e MBS but I see it as complementary build, and as such it fit nicelly. Its a must have for me (I am sucker on medieval themed houses) ;)
  22. Blazej_Holen
    No comments on BDP Alchemyst Shop? 🤔
  23. Blazej_Holen
    200 USD on LotR set… you wish 😀😀😀
  24. Blazej_Holen
    Because there is a huge Castle/Fantasy theme fanbase, hungry for figs and cheaper sets… Even AFOLs are on edge with spending on 200-500 USD Lego sets, socne the cost of living is higher and higher…

    Resellers; scalpers, it doesnt matter in the end. Why do I need to have a reseller, when I can buy the product from the official retail store? 🤦🏻‍♂️😉 Resellers are maxbe usefull when you want something thats not on the market any more. Like retired sers etc. But then you pay the price of course.
