I got this set for Christmas the year it released, I was so excited! Still have it on display all these years later, and am now building Rivendell to accompany it! Lego LOTR might be my all time favorite theme
Yikes opening a sealed set like that only to be greeted with brittle brown was brutal. Plus the light brick is dead too, although I do believe the batteries are replaceable. But still an amazing set and awesome that you built it. Better than being stuck in a box. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing this theme return :)
As a die hard LOTR fan, I sincerely forgive you for calling Uruk-Hai an Orc. ;) Ps. If building Treebeard was so painful, imagine if all of Orthanc was made of reddish brown pieces... Dx
That’s good to know! Thanks for that tidbit! So glad that’s it’s finally over. Though I have a lot of backlog to build and will probably see these problems for awhile.
Probably my most wanted Lego set of all time. All the Lotr sets are fantastic, I'm excited for the upcoming rivendell set.
I might be able to get it today
wondering what u think of this after barad dur is coming out now

Definitely! I believe we will see a return of the theme this year. Or just one set anyway.

Lego fixed the red brown bricks cracking issue in 2018 it was a 30ish year long issue.

I had to use super glue to fix one of the ball joint pieces on treebeard
Lego breaking is so so sad
