Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Loved those blue coats :D well done review!

Funny thread :D

If only the polybag came with sword and shield for the Uruk :) instead of that old vintage halberd... Problem was there are no polybags in my area and ordering them online is costing more than buying normal Uruks

Silver mine will be the sleeper !

I wholeheartedly agree... I would never do that!

I am not complaining about getting Corsair... I am complaining I will need to pay 100$ to obtain 5 of them which is reasonable for sailing a ship....... Look I said full well I am HAPPY extra happy that we got LOTR line, but thats just about the part of getting it... what we have is better than having NO LEGO LOTR but it ends soon after that and Helm's Deep set with extension of uruk-hai Army... Thats why I said... uruk-hai Army + Helm's Deep are 2 best LEGO LOTR sets... Eomer is the only figure you get DOUBLED or more and he is the easiest MOCable character if needed (add hair, remove cape etc.) If all sets would be done in similar way (Example current Mines of Moria remove Gimli and Balins TOMB add 1 more Moria Orc then add additional 2 pillars and Balins tomb in another set + gimli and 3 Moria Orcs = easy ''bpack'' ) Yeh thats a nice option for figures displaying but what about those of us who want to display events like Siege of Helm's Deep ? Either I spend a fortune on uruk-hai armies and keep trying to sell Eomer + wall + balista or spend near that fortune for seperate Uruk-hai on Bricklink. I am closing now to a decent size army but i spent a fortune...

Problem is TLGs ridiculous minifig count... sets that are priced on retail for 100$+ should have 10+ minifigs (1 fig per 10-14$) to start with... Ok so you have 11 enemy generic soldiers to fight ENTIRE fellowship (9) + Haldir/Theoden/Eomer and ONE Rohan Soldier......... Even if we add Lurtz and Moria Orcs we are still not even on 2 on 1 ratio and we know how much is that away from the films. Problem with LOTR line is that we are getting MAIN characters way too often... Yes but if you, as you claimed, buy each set ONCE you get tons of Fellowship that is useless... (unless you are heavy MOCer and even then you need other parts to compensate) Problem with Corsair ship is, it is trying to get 2 scenes in 1 and ends up doing both scene NO justice at all.... 1st we get 1 Corsair... Ok it looks cool, we get Peter Jackson for AFOLs but 1 PIRATE to sail a ship? Ok we get Aragorn, fine he is important for anything related to Undead Gimli and Legolas are NOT important for either scene since Undead are main figure both boarding the ship and at the landing.... Ok then we get Undead, they are fine and acceptable, will never see them again it seems... Then we get TWO mordor orcs with NO helmets(bald sigh) same torso as always with a catapult Thats no army huh? It gives no scene any justice and on top of it portraits like Undead took captives when boarding Corsair ship (which every knows to be untrue) Either they should: 1. remove Orcs and add 2-3 more Corsairs 2. remove Pirate add 2 more orcs 3. add more figures of both pirates and orcs While I love the design of the ship I will not buy it but will rather find it on ebay without figs for display... why? Because noone needs 3rd Gimli 2nd Legolas and 3rd Aragorn... I think sticking with me is the sight Denethor sees when looking down from Minas Tirith seeing the Mordor Army at his doorstep... I think sticking with me is the sight of Helm's Deep and the sight of morning with Eomer, Gandalf and Rohirrim marching down the slopes to crush Armies of Isengard I think sticking with me is the beautiful background music and last March of the Ents and Treebeards ''speech'' And even in your example sticking with you is another ''mass'' army scene that is much surpasing anything in LEGO terms... Even death of Boromir features more uruk-hai than buying 2x entire LOTR line gives... Its about heroism of the Fellowship and Free peoples of Middle Earth defeating VASTLY OUTNUMBERING ODDS OF ENEMIES i think even Sam killed more Orcs than we get in all LOTR line....

I would love the new Dragon and the Horse barding but thats about it... I am passing them even seeing them in high resolution.

Problem is that I keep getting feeling that TLG wants to ''screw'' us over with LOTR theme.... sure we get many stuff but minifigs and minifig count seems so low and kinda spitting us in the face... 3 Uruk-hai and Torch carrier for a set which name is BATTLE at Helm's Deep? LOTR was always about MASS BATTLES and vast armies... which is LOTRs biggest appeal apart from main characters.... Problem with LOTR sets is that WHICHEVER set you buy multiple you are forced to 1. sell additional SAME named figures 2. MOC your figures Now i personaly try to keep my armies clean (purist typoe clean) and only switch weapons on generic soldiers... So when i bought 3 Uruk-hai Armies i had to sell 2 Eomers... And that set was FINE... now try justifying buying 2 or even 5x Corsair ship (for pirates and army of undead) when you get tons of same characters that are useless... 1 Pirate is sailing Corsair ship (and no rescued prisoners) trying to do both events with ship in 1 set is, for me, a mockery.... Would rather have 1 (or 2) more Orcs than 1 pirate and 2 Orcs... I really love LOTR and LOTR got me back to buying LEGO but I am really disappointed(but happy we got them atleast) about LOTR line so far. Except for Helm's Deep and Uruk-hai Army every other set was lackluster... ok Orc Forge is fine since we get only Orcs/Uruks with armor, swords etc...

Great review... sadly I will not buy any LONE RANGER since in Europe MSRP for Stagecoach is FREAKING 50 eruos while in US they can buy it for 29.99 bucks... so unfair for 23€ I would buy 2 atleast lol

See I rather get less and get quality than get more and not proper quality, and Eagle is definetly in the 2nd bracket of the 2 above... You can get an eagle, but not an eagle worthy of being an EAGLE. I would rather we get NO Eagle and no Gandalf and rather get more Orcs

Nice MOC!

Now that family house is finally a good creator set (after Lighthouse and Blue Apple pie house)

Great MOC and good story!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome to Eurobricks!

Welcome Sarah, no need to be shy :)

Welcome!

Oh i missed that one... this is such a great rework for BELOVED trading post from 1992 indeed... I cannot stop looking at it...

Emmm on their OWN shop at home site Stagecoack is 49.99 EUROS vs 29.99 $$$$$ I guess there is no mdidle retailer there only THEMSELVES.. this is just outrageous... and now I am starting to get my friend buy me 4-5 sets I want in USA and ship them as a gift and I save around 15-25% (depending)
