Rjbricks

There’s one falling asleep in his bed next to me right now. He’s constantly complaining that the Balrog Booknook is the only set he’ll ever be able to get. But I fear he’s the exception rather than the rule. At his birthday party today, none of the other 7 year olds had the faintest clue what LotR was. Stars wars and Minecraft are the current orders of the day.

Love it. Lots of nice touches, especially Gollum and the scattered remnants of broken skeletons.

Agreed, it’s awesome. Couldn’t justify paying so mich for one figure so I bought the whole set on sale and sold off the rest of the figures and ship. Torso actually works pretty well too. I’ve switched the arms round and have a cloak hiding the buttons on the back.

Damn, they had to go and do the cassette . Now I have to buy it. And explain to my kids what a cassette tape is…

Not a bragging contest, just curious really. And hopefully people have spent loads and will make me feel better! I really want to get the Overwatch Reinhardt helmet but it’s £10 at least. And a gold chromed dragon helmet but those are £13 at least. Most I’ve spent on a single brick is £8 for the Quadruple convex black slope for the Black Falcons’ fortress.

Nice! Love the purple background in the ‘evil’ mirror image.

This is awesome! Have acquired the DnD set but not yet built it. Hadn’t realised how well it goes with the LKC. love the sacrifice scene

Nice ideas! I'm envisioning the snake warrior being some kind of particularly unethical mercenary group. I think the Horse Knights actually fit the Brettonian Knights colour scheme the most though.

Haven’t looked on other regions but already seeing brand new sets on eBay in the UK for 20% discounts. Fingers crossed we’ll see some sales on Black Friday etc on this set.

Have to be honest, I’m not entirely sure what to do with my figs now. Started building a few years back and enjoyed collecting individual elements that I’d piece together and finding bargains on eBay/facebook. Then I started collecting sets and all the figures went into the ‘armies’ and I’ve got about 1000 little figures in plastic bags in the loft. At some point I’ll have to write it all down so that my family know to match figures with sets in the event of my untimely demise, otherwise they’ll be selling golden knights and MVR goats for 99p on eBay…

Vintage figs have certainly soared in value. When I started collecting from bricklink and eBay I’d have a £1.50 limit per figure. Including some form of weapon etc. Same with the castles themselves. Kick myself now I didn’t get some of the black knight/dragon knights castles. Didnt as they were all a little over £100. see them on for £300+ now…

Only ever saw it on sale in smyths for £160 once. Perhaps Black Friday.

Thanks. Got a handful of them. Hard to believe they’re not best sellers though.

Great review. Will look at this for a Christmas present, thanks.

Nice. Like how you’ve yellowed them. Ive done something similar. Modded some of them to fit thematically. Others stock as they work well enough (tzass tam, vampire guy). lady of pain I have no idea what to do with…
