Tower of Orthanc Pictorial Review (Eurobricks)

[Guest eightbrick]

I thought this might be worth mentioning to anyone considering to buy the set: Rufus over at Eurobricks managed to pick a set up ahead of its July release (at LEGOLAND Deutschland) and has made a great pictorial review. Normally, I wouldn't waste your time with a review, but the pictures show some great angles and comparisons and the set hasn't been released yet so enjoy: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=83553

 

It would be interesting what you guys think about the set after seeing some "real" pictures of it now.

I would have paid another 30-50 for something like 5 trees and lots more uruk hai. That would have been amazing. I still love the tower.

It's a nice review.  Thanks for sharing the link.

Wicked review, thanks for the link.  Lots of great detailed pics.  Makes me want it even more, though didn't think that was possible

The precious.....will be mine.....
I love it even more now. Yes a few more minifigs would have been nice (I guess the trade off is for the eagle) but it looks wickedly detailed.

Pretty cool, it really gives you a lot of detail. Less than a month away :)

Great review! Thanks for sharing. I especially liked how he injected some humor.

 

This set is a must-have, for sure!

Are they releasing this tomorrow for VIPs, or am I confusing this with another set?

[siddji]

I thought VIP members get first dibs on this set as a pre-release? I could be incorrect.

But then some people would say, "Man, I wish they would have taken out these stupid extra trees and minifigs, then it wouldn't cost so much!"  Lego can never please everyone...
