Man, I wish LEGO would commit to fully resurrecting the Lord of the Rings theme. This set and the Rivendell one from last year just remind me how truly awesome those old sets were, and I'd love to see more.
I can't wait for this set to release! It's going to be the best birthday gift I give myself, lol!
Yep already gonna do the same on June first
Bro gettin this as my birthday gift too haha
Haha same! June 1st is also my birthday and I just grabbed it online
Same here! Happy birthday all!!
I know nothing about LOTR but this tower looks awesome! And I agree. I like that it’s opened in the back and you can see all the details!
Funny enough, the spear was first introduced the the black color. Wayyyy back in the 80s or 90s
Loved the review! To me the brown usage at the bottom of the base was used to depict the glow of the lava which is really really awesome use of color/gradient in my opinion
Can’t wait to see what Light My Bricks are going to do with this set!
Meat’s back on the menu 😊
Awesome review Jean! This set looked awesome especially the "base" with the eye of Sauron. Keep up the great work!
Wow, loads of hidden details, some clever Easter eggs, many display options- WAIT $460! Thank you for your time ma'am have a great day...
Great review! 👏 The minifigs are way too cool! "Everything is cool... and amazing!" 😂
Finally, a true fan reviewing this set. What a relief!
Nothing but pb&j for me this month 😆
Day 1 purchase and this is perhaps my most anticipated set this year. Very excited to order it this weekend!
You navigated around the "Meat's back on the menu boys" joke pretty well 😂 Another short and sweet review, thanks for sharing!
final boss tower of the exo mechs
So excited for this set! I really wish the gwp was not so limited in quantities since it’s forcing folks to make first week purchases or miss out on it completely. Also I wanted to build and army but guess I won’t 😅
I recently ordered both this set and the Rivendell one. Really hoping for a Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, Orthanc or Helms Deep set soon. Also hope they will do diorama sets, like the SW ones (Mithrandir vs Durin's Bane, Frodo casting the ring into Mt. Doom, the scene where the hobbits first encounter the Nazgûl, etc!).
Great Review! Just finished my Barad-Dur, and I agree, it might be one of my favourite sets of the year 😊👍
That’s so exciting, I just can’t believe how stunning the final build is
I'm not a fan of LOTR, but seeing it built in the Lego store yesterday, it looks so impressive. 👍🏻
Great review Jean. I happily picked up this set at midnight on release. Got the GWP too. I got Rivendell for my birthday the end of last year, so I am very excited to have these next to each other.
I love that you had sticker sheet empty! You tore that set open when you got it! SAME GIRL!
Great video ❤ and I’m happy your sound is better
Watching return of the king in the cinema on release day 21 years ago, is still my peak cinematic experience. To this day not seen anything as perfect. Great review 👍
One of the few movies I’ve seen more than 3x in theaters 🙌
As a Individual who plans on purchasing this set on June 1st I do wish LEGO would sell the Fell Beast GWP as a $5 polybag. Not only to have multiples but what my intention is to surround Barad-Dûr set with the Beasts surrounding the Tower. Unfortunately knowing GWP's go for alot in the aftermarket I guess one will do amazing set for 10 minifigures plus a skeleton technically 11. In my book I count the skelly as a minifigure the only flaw I see is Frodo and Sam not having their capes but really that's the only thing that disturbs me. The build is sturdy and finally paper bags no annoying loud plastic ones which is a relief I can't wait to purchase this set along Fell Beast ❤
What's the problem with plastic bags? This is the rustle of childhood!
@@danykwood I always hated the sound and it always made a noise no on liked I even tried opening the bags and my Father watched and he threw away the plastic bags and said they were annoying and I agreed with them and actually I keep every plastic bag in Ziplock bags and knowing LEGO is using Paper bags makes it all better
How am I going to build an orc army? 😅
One small correction: the spears and blade pieces have been in black quite a few times. While I'm uncertain about the blades creating the rib like design, the spear piece is actually very easy to get in black. I'm pretty sure black has been one of its original colors. And the dark orange and browns are not to break up the black, but rather give this illusion of the lava moat around Barad-Dûr and other lighting in the Dark Tower glowing, which was very well done for the peak of Barad-Dûr to give the illusion and feel of the Eye of Sauron glowing. My only complaint about the set is the incorrect coloration of the bits of the land and moutain Barad-Dûr was built upon, the set using dark orange, nougat, dark tan, and the bluish grays, while in the films, Mordor is an ashey gray near the Black Gate, while the further from the gate you go, it becomes more and more of a deep dark brown, especially near Mount Doom, which I feel could've easily given the set even more of a dark and evil feel, since Barad-Dûr does mean Dark Tower, and Mordor isn't exactly the most lively place, full of Orcs, one living man (Mouth of Sauron), 9 men neither living nor dead (the Nazgûl and the Witch-King of Angmar), and a giant tower with a big ol lidless flaming eye acting like a glorified watch tower (Barad-Dûr and the Eye of Sauron). Still, this set is amazing, and I will definitely be getting it.
Hey it was nice meeting you at brick world! Thanks for the signature! 😅
Day 1. Gotta have the GWP. Fingers crossed Lego will do a second release of the GWP during Black Friday and make it available for either Rivendell or Barad-Dûr. (I can dream)
Awesome review Jean, love the details of this build. Really trying hard to decide whether we get it 🤔 as we’re huge fans of LOTR as well. Keep up the great content 🧡💛🖤😎
"and dont worry the frontside too" bahahah (when she was talking about gollum figure)
Great video it is a wonderful set 👍
Wow so cool and so big!!!!
and over priced. no thanks
Definitely not overpriced
@@paulwoodford1984 considering that the gwp is alr going for 140 € + on Ebay, adding vip points and cashback.. After selling the gwp around 280 euros, think thats actually a fair price for the mass
Great review, I guess you were rushing to build it, and it seems the transparent parts of the eye that you may have misassembled the four pieces on the outer.
I actually built it very slowly because I was recovering from LASIK 😂 and my vision was slightly impaired due to the recovery process so I admit I was having a difficult time seeing some of the steps, particularly anything with translucent parts 😅
@@jeansversion Take care, looking forward to seeing next review. 👏👏
Excellent video! 😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The set looks fantastic. I will not be buying it day one but since I already have Rivendell, I may end up getting it eventually. Star Wars always comes first so I am saving for that reported Jabba's Sail Barge later this year. Great review. I wish they would have included a few more figs though.
Excelent review. Congratulations. I tried to buy one but unfortunately was and Il sold . I will try this week. Again thanks. About the set. Marvelous.
I hope that Lego releases a small version of barad dur.. at the beginning I did want rivendell and this one but I want other legos and other stuff to collect so I’m not going to buy this one because it would be difficult to collect in terms of money so I did have to choose. eventually I will buy the rivendell I fell in love with that set.. I liked this one but didn’t conquered my heart. I will wait for the small version
Great vid. Does the Eye light up better in the dark? 🤠
this set looks so cool! and those figs 🤩
Certified Tolkien nerd, you said "Sow-ron" not "Sore-on". Spot on! XD
I like the helmets 😻 they look scary but cool 😎 I would like to build army of them 😼 thank you Jean for the review 🫶
It’s simply beautiful
This set is so good I just bought it and secured the GWP, loved your review!
People hate on rings of power sooo much! But I actually enjoyed it. I read the books and the silmarillion so I’m well acquainted with the “canon” but why do people hate?
Honestly I put off watching it for so long because of the hate and the canon issues, and I hate that I allowed that to influence my decision to watch because when I finally did, I enjoyed it sooooo much. Excited for the new season!
Another great video! 🎉
I think the blade pieces on the eye are supposed to be horizontal instead of vertical
So, now i understand why Barad-dur sounds more epic in russian, [BArAD-DoooR]
The arms for Gollum are actually skeleton arms
GWD would be so cool, but today, not 2h after the lego store opened, when I bought it, the GWD were already sold out :(
Thats pretty bad... And I hope, we get it someways from Lego...
but the set itself is really cool
Designed so that multiple can be purchased to make the tower taller. Like £400 is really easy to come by
That’s exactly what I said in the video lol
Your Sindarin pronunciation of Barad-dûr was immaculate, so you definitely get a free pass for a pronunciation in the Common Speech as well lol
so im thinking of selling the mini figures to offset the cost, when I go to sell them, like the orcs do I need to include the helmet and sword shields for the orcs or do I sell them without? What do counts as complete?
I don’t know about this set. The biggest draw for me are the mouth of Sauron and Sauron. It doesn’t give me that good feeling like Rivendell does (I needed that set). When it comes to a set this expensive I either “have to have it” or won’t bother.
1:30 did you make this minifigure display stand? If not where did you buy it ?
I love this set so much it’s going straight on my Christmas list
The little stand is from tricked out bricks! It’s actually for microfighters
@@jeansversion thank you
Wow, that looks Awsome Jean ❤
Sauron should’ve been scaled up like they did with the Avatar mini figures
Originally apparently the problem with lego Lord of the Rings was they didn't know whether it was for adults or children and got stuck but Now they know it's a big seller probably more towards adults
My fathers day gift......
Lego LOTR Rivendell 😍😍😍😍😍😍 & Lego LOTR Barad Dûr 😍😍😍😍😍😍
How dare you pronounce Barad-Dûr the exact same way I do! 😁
I still need to get Rivendell so maybe I'll be able to afford this one in 2026.
Finally, someone who actually knows how it should be pronounced..BAAH RAAH DUUR
Sauron's face is kinda giving Darth Maul 😆
Rings of Power is awesome!! I don’t understand the hate it gets
Same, I enjoyed it!
Epic
I'm not a happy people... I'm a little chicken
Fun fact: gothmog was designed to be Harvey weinstein in orc form. I guess weinstein tried to keep the project from happening. So, in a way, we got weinstein in Lego form..
Next set: Minas Tirith....
Yes!!
What’s your favorite set of ‘24 so far?
Man, I wanted to love this set and until it showed the backside I did. The interior is just too whimsical. I don't care for it, hard to explain!
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HUH?!
Lord of the rings fans tend to get ripped off more than Harry Potter and Star Wars and it makes no sense especially as it is at least as critically a claim if not more
the rich influencers gets everything for free while the plebs has to spend 1/3 of their wage
Nobody is stopping you to have a higher salary
I enjoyed her review, but I'm not sure someone with fewer than 10k subscribers is rich because of UA-cam..
Lego LOTR at its best blows Harry Potter and star wars out of the water I just wish they would make cheaper sets for crying 😢 out loud
It’s pronounced She lob, not shel ub or however you pronounced it
Simply not affordable for most people and there is a limited time to buy the set before the price goes up even higher. Ridiculous
Why would it go up in price?
Lego should only make 10 whatever currency sets so everyone can afford one !
Get your broke ass to work
@@chillbill9333 They all do. The longer you leave buying it the more you will be paying this time next year. hundred pound more most likely. people buy these sets to sell them at a higher price when the stock is out
@@IvanAntolic That is some almost impressively poor understanding of most people's economic situation. Almost nobody chooses to be born into their social class. I had thought this had become common knowledge in modern times, but alas, some people remain trapped in Victorian England.
@@IvanAntolic Lol, four hundred pounds could be someone’s rent, half of their rent, for going towards household bills. These lego companies are happily releasing all these sets but at ridiculous unaffordable prices for the vast majority of people. i would never spend this much. honestly this set could be half the price, if you find out how much it actually costs to make. They would sell more if they lowered the price . it’s alright for these youtubers who are given the sets for free to review
If you're receiving a free LEGO set from LEGO and get to keep it, you're not an independent reviewer, but a paid promoter.
Cool, the opinions are still my own 😂 also give me a call when a LEGO set and the $14 I make for my video pay my mortgage.
Very bad review
Thank you
@@jeansversion you welcome
Are you going to do a review of Rivendell?
Oh yes
