    the tower of Orthanc is one of my favorite sets, I'm glad I got them all. Just wish they made more add ons to the battle of helms deep.

    Lovely review Johanna! I remember getting this set for christmas back in the day, it's one of the few lord of the rings sets I have and I really treasure it

      It really is so very special. It works well as a stand alone set.

    It looks a bit like the coolest birthday cake ever - like one of those really expensive ones that are covered in fondant. Love it!

    I remember back-in-the-day my dad and brother had multiple sets from these waves ( an unexpected gathering, battle of the five armies, the battle of the wizards and the witch king and elf battle) they have been lost in a move from the UK to America so it will feel like Bilbo stabbing me with sting instead of a spider if I bought the sets again

      Now I’m obsessed with lord of the rings and hobbit ( just middle earth ) so I’m heartbroken

    It is in some details slightly dated with the typenof bricks they used etc , but still , in the medium range of sets in my complete collection ? This still is in my top 5 most favourite sets. Thank you for the review Johanna , so nice to see some LOTR Lego stuff on CZcams again.

      Yes, totally agree for a set that used to cost £60 it’s an amazing build. No doubt it would be quite a bit more expensive nowadays if it were to be on shelves it hold up amazingly

    Amazing and beautiful set 😍 I love it, I recently bought it, second hand of course, I was very lucky to find it here in my country for a good price I think, almost at the same price as yours. The only problem is that it's missing one piece, the envelope in the interior shelves, but it's not a difficult piece to buy 🤭😀. Love your videos, and greetings from México 👋.

    Hach, it's such a beautiful set. Funny how strong it resembles the Winnie Pooh set btw. ;) Come to think about it, integrating Pooh's tree in this set might be great.
    I just thought about the Red Book of Westmarch ... didn't Bilbo start to write it AFTER the Hobbit events? I might be wrong about that, though because trivia says it was written 'by Hobbits' (so maybe one of Bilbo's ancestors actually started writing it?).
    Random note: The dark cabinet in the back is really good for this video angle because you clearly stand out.

    Daily downloads…you’re setting the bar high.👍 It would be wonderful (and wallet-unfriendly) if LotR sets returned.
    Also, very nice review. Amazing how good the minifigs are, rivaling what we currently get.
    I’m relieved you’ll be putting in a floor. Saves me the airfare and stress of breaking into your home in dead of night, sneaking past you and Ben and installing a nice wood/tile floor. Those studs just hurt my feelings.🙄

    Financial circumstances meant I couldn’t get these at time of release, that was painful being a massive fan. Even more painful now with the price. £60 is an amazing price. Glad you got yours for a fair price too. I just recently bought this set completely by accident on fb marketplace and paid £150. It did come with the box, although quite damaged. Still missing a few of these sets though and as you stated the price is ridiculous now

    I never really noticed, but that square plate at the back of the door seems awkward. Maybe it should have been a round plate and green or light brown?
    A lovely set, and I'm glad I have it. Nice review and a blast from the past.
    Also, I thought Orthanc was quite pricey when it was released and 350 GBP isn't that much of an increase. But my memory may be wrong. I just can't remember.

    • @HighTeaToys
      @HighTeaToys  Před 3 lety

      Yes the square really is unfortunate, it is possibly my least favourite detail. But easily fixed I hope. I believe Orthanc was £160 when it was on the shelves. Though for the size it is id imagine if it was brought out by lego nowadays it’d be around £200/£220. So it’s value increase kinda makes sense. It is also totally stunning.

    This is one of those white whale sets I've been looking for. Good review!

      Hello how are you doing i haven't seen you in streams i am fine 😃

  • @simonmoss101
    @simonmoss101 Před 3 lety

    Great review, it’s certainly a set of two halves. The front is much better than the back and look forward to seeing your improvements to it.

    I was never able to get any of the LOTR sets Soo sad 😭 they came out in my dark ages lol.

    • @HighTeaToys
      @HighTeaToys  Před 3 lety +1

      I know the feeling, so I have slowly started collecting them now.

    I’m not a big fan of the lord of the rings but this set is incredible
