It's more Lego that acts so (understandably) than us though. :) Just look at Bag End.

Not that I think it's likely but we can technically get Witch King also with Minas Morgul. :)

Nice typo. :D Even though I think now it's just matter of time, it's unbelievable we still haven't got Witch King (but we have two Mouths of Sauron now).

Not that I wasn't buying Minas Tirith Day 1 anyway, but Grond GWP just ensured it. :D If we get new Helm's Deep I hope it includes Galadhrim elf helmet mold.

Can we get back to Lego LOTR pleeease? :D Always opening this thread hoping for some new info / leaks and last two+ pages is mostly just GWP discussion....

Thanks, well the height might be (if close enough) once again the limiting factor for displaying it. :D

Anybody crazy enough to try to guestimate the dimensions of the set from the video?

Wow didn't expect that, I like what I see. The one thing that would make it even better is Fountain guard minifig, but well I guess we can't have everything.

Final design:

Wouldn't get my hopes up. So far besides the expensive location based "UCS" sets we got booknook caricature of one of the most iconic scenes of the whole trilogy and a overpriced helmet (oh yeah and two limited GWPs). At least people will be able to get cheaper Sauron minifig.

Yeah I guess you are right. :)

Yay, another overpriced gimmicky set. I guess it's time to give up on expectations of regular sized / priced playscale sets.

And yet both Minas Tirith Ideas projects that got 10k votes went the way of minifig interior from the back. I just don't see why would Lego designers do something else (if it's not fully microscale).

Why not both? Largest and most expensive. :D

That's what I meant by forcing a scene that doesn't have anything interesting on either side (confirmed even by the two pictures you chose to represent it on the rebrickable page) to a form factor that requires them. :) Anyway each to their own.
