I loved your idea of pieceing out Minas Tirith the way they did with Hogwart's--that way everyone can buy a smaller set they like and then us crazy people could have all the sets to make one gigantic set.
sooo excited!! saving up for these amazing sets coming in! Thanks for the news, Sam! though I don't really like a book nook idea, a set with a balrog will be great!
Keep in mind, as these are licensed, Lego doesn't have carte blanche to create whatever they want to from LOTR. Every idea has to be approved…or they are approached with an idea and have to work on mock-ups and proposals to make it happen. So it might not be a matter of Lego not wanting to do even smaller sets…it may be a part of their licensing deal to do these bigger more expensive sets. Maybe they have a fixed royalty per set sold rather than a % of the sale price? I don't know. I just wonder if they have all the creative say on what is produced. Unlikely.
@ Also Lego has learned lesson after lesson on banking their time & production bottlenecks on IP that doesn't sell…like Wish is the latest example. Bilbo's house? Definite sales…it's in the bag (*ba-doom…splash!*)
thank you, I appreciate this. I like have fun with making my videos but try to been informative and clear. Passionate Lego and Tolkien fan since I was a boy
Another great video. We love everything you put out. Gutted that UA-cam have demonitised your channel. How can they not see how much creative, individual content goes in. If anyome from yoube reads these comments please reinstate this channel for monetisation! It is our favourite channel
same here. Battle packs that would go hand in hand with the 2 big sets (Rivendell and Barad-dur) and others would be nice. The book nook is a hard pass for me.
Really sorry this has happened to you fella. Hopefully some positive resolution can be found. You’ve been my go to Lego channel for some time now, always look forward to your vids and it would be sad to see you go. Wishing you the best ✊
thanks mate! Looking into everything but I don't think there is much I can do sadly. will have to monetise in other ways which will be way less but best I can do with things to keep it running as long as possible. And me too man, these new sets were welcome good news :) hope your doing alright dude Reply
Gandalf and the Balrog 10000% needed to be a diorama!!! I'm sure Lego will do it justice, such an iconic scene deserves to be a bigger set though! Bummer about the de-monetization dude your channel was going places.
I’m super excited for all this new Lord of the Rings Lego. Annoyingly I only have room in my office for one of the big sets, so I’m gonna need to decide between Baradur or wait for Bag End. Sorry to hear about all the hassle with your channel, I always look forward to your updates!
sorry to hear about the demonitisation problems :( hope you get it sorted! Really curious about this book nook idea! I hope it's big enough that we can possibly just use the pieces to create our own diorama if we dont want to use it as a booknook :D
I’m excited for smaller sets, but also worried we could lose the legendary top-end sets like Rivendell and Barad-due. And I agree-I would love dioramas.
I can't wait to see how the actual sets are although I was really hoping for some battlepacks. Also you should make another video on your medieval kingdom!
i have so many ideas for it! but the demonisation has really caused me problems. i left my job to focus on yotuube last month which was allowing for projects like that. I stayed up 24 hours straight to record each episode i've released so far so far. Ive had to go back to my job and take overtime to pay the bills. Until youtube supports me - its going to be hard to continue Pelargir. But this comment meant a lot man, ill try get an christmas episode out this month
@@Jedi.Bricks Oh man that really sucks YT has so many other creators that should be demonitized but they focus on a small Lego news channel. Also fair enough I understand how long it can be to create longer form high quality story content like that so I totally get it. Best wishes man!
For Gondor! I have been waiting for lego to make one of those for some time now, and what an epic way to receive it, than in the LotR form! hyped already
Fingers crossed we get an epic Balrog build! Love the channel, so sorry to hear about the recent developments I hope you’re able to successfully fight it 🙏!
I’m intrigued by the book nook. That’s a scene I really want in set form, so I’m happy that’s what got chosen. However, I think it’ll be a Gandalf minifig on a small bridge of khazad-dûm build with a mosaic Balrog backdrop. That makes sense to me for a bookshelf display piece of the scene, but I would much prefer a standard diorama with a brick built Balrog, like the Jurassic Park T-Rex breakout. If the book book is done well, I think it could be a good innovation on Lego’s part. I’d prefer to see smaller $50-60 dioramas of famous scenes from the movies. Personally, I don’t need playsets (fortunate to have almost all of the original two waves) but they wouldn’t hurt
Lego is doing everything to *technically* give us Gandalf vs Balrog but not actually give us Gandalf vs Balrog, why can't we simply get a regular set of that? Why? First those wierd big figures and now a booknook? Eh...
I’m really looking forward to the book book. The Marvel Surtur set gave me many nice pieces to use for a Balrog, as did that one Nexo Knights big fig piece, but I’d love to see LEGO’s take.
I’ve had loved a balrog set along the lines of the Marvel Thor v Surtur one - a large balrog figure, a handful of goblins and then Gandalf. Otherwise, surely the LOTR sets are primed for diaramas? So many iconic scenes and quotes. Army building sets would be a licence to print money for Lego - sure fire hit. Tough hearing what UA-cam have done to your channel though mate
Really hoping they’ll start doing more smaller sets, even remakes or reprints. In the $10-$75 sets. Harry Potter and Star Wars are still getting tons of sets so show a bit of love to the LotR & Hobbit people
I’d love a battle pack for each of the different factions in lotr, like elves and men or orcs. Hopefully they listen to us and make some more smaller sets
I'm definitely nervous to see how the book nooks will turn out. For $120 I was hoping for an epic diorama and not a book nook since I feel like book nooks are normally pretty small.
Another example of Lego Laziness. This book nook will produce a smaller than hoped for scene of something iconic. They could have just released it as a diorama (like they do for SW). But of course they don't care enough about any fantasy/ medieval themes to do even try, it's pathetic. Just build what you want, don't waste your time waiting for the mothership.
I am looking forward to those sets. Yeah we 100% need smaller sets like battle packs. What we also need is a new lego game with all the hobbit movies and lotr in the same way as the skywalker saga game.
While I am excited that they are bringing back some old franchise style IPs like LOTR, I am not as excited for the LOTR they have issued. Rivendell, great set. Looking like bag end is going to be epic if they get the smaller details fit in it... but I would rather them bring back some POTC IPs, especially the iconic ships
Gandalf vs Balrog Booknook is a mixed bag, and this is why it shall not PASS!
Rohan battlepack when?

I would love a fellbeast! This is my submission!

For Gondor!
For Gondor!!
I'm a little bit confused and relatively new to Patreon, how do I sign up as one of those first 100 for free? 😃
Book nooks is such a clever theme for Lego to make, even though I wish they'd give us a regular Balrog set!
For Gondor!
For the shire
The lord of the rings sets are the first thing that make me as excited for Lego as I was as a kid. Really excited for these
Can’t wait for more LOTR sets, going to need a bigger house to fit them in
Finally more sets, i missed the og waves and im really happy they are doing more
As a huge LOTR, LEGO and book nerd, the Gandalf & Balrog booknook sounds amazing! I'm all about the more affordable sets as well.
sooo excited!! saving up for these amazing sets coming in! Thanks for the news, Sam! though I don't really like a book nook idea, a set with a balrog will be great!
Love the content man! Hopefully you can keep in going
Bag end- a must!!
Gandalf vs durins bane- a must!!
Omg so happy

interesting point, definitely possible! and would explain their choices better

Bilbo's house? Definite sales…it's in the bag (*ba-doom…splash!*)
I hope they remonetize you, I've appreciated the direct and to-the-point info you've given us lately.
thank you, I appreciate this. I like have fun with making my videos but try to been informative and clear. Passionate Lego and Tolkien fan since I was a boy

thank you so much! I appreciate it, im trying to get in touch with them - hopefully this video and these comments help.
I’ve been subbed for a while. Thanks for the content that you put out and sorry to hear about the troubles on the channel.
Excited to find this channel! Cheers!
Thanks for all you do, my friend. Love the dioramas too!
Good news. Enrolling for the GWP Fell Beast 😊 Supporting your work and channel!
I really hope they do some battle packs, perfect for the medieval collector. Not a fan of the book nook though :(
same here. Battle packs that would go hand in hand with the 2 big sets (Rivendell and Barad-dur) and others would be nice. The book nook is a hard pass for me.
Exciting! Thx for the video.
Great info! Excited for new sets!
Really like the return of smaller sets. Back to the way of the older sets but built differently which means a new build experience!
Really sorry this has happened to you fella. Hopefully some positive resolution can be found. You’ve been my go to Lego channel for some time now, always look forward to your vids and it would be sad to see you go. Wishing you the best ✊
For Gondor! I not to excited for the book nook. But I hope it is good and at some point we get a wave of smaller sets. Thanks for the update.
For Frodo!
Wasn't interested in buying Lego when the promo came out for barad dur , such a nice inclusion and really helps with the 460 price tag.
You should make a moc of Edoras.
Bon travail, bravo 👏🏼 et courage pour la suite
Sucks that the de-monetized you. There’s gotta be someone else you can talk to at UA-cam. Great video Sam- can’t wait til April- 5 more months😢
thanks mate! Looking into everything but I don't think there is much I can do sadly. will have to monetise in other ways which will be way less but best I can do with things to keep it running as long as possible. And me too man, these new sets were welcome good news :) hope your doing alright dude

Excited to hear about the new sets coming. Your content is always great! disappointed to hear about youtube!

Great video thank you for the update.

For Frodo!
Awesome reveal! Hoping for more smaller sets as the ginormous ones are out of my budget. Hope UA-cam fixes the issues with your channel!
120 $ is not exactly an affordable set... But I guess Lego know that Lotr audience are not exactly children and eager to play top dollar.
Whish you all the best! Love your channel ❤
Where can I get the instructions for that beautiful Doors of Durin diorama???
Thank you for the update
I’m excited for smaller sets, but also worried we could lose the legendary top-end sets like Rivendell and Barad-due. And I agree-I would love dioramas.
Very excited for more LOTR LEGO. The last two sets have been so well done.
Love how quick you are with the updates
Really hoping the Bag End set will be elevated to the detailed quality of the recent Rivendell set. Great video. Thanks!

Great vid bro keep it up
Awesome news!! I hope LEGO keeps making these!
Great video! I like the book nook idea, it will definitely help with lack of Lego storage!
I love the icons and I'm in the fortunate position to get them, but it's great to see smaller sets so everyone can enjoy this theme!
Thanks for the update
Looking forward to these!
Thanks for the great update!
For Gondor!
I have been waiting for lego to make one of those for some time now, and what an epic way to receive it, than in the LotR form! hyped already
Your dioramas look so so good!!! Lego ideas builds and voting is needed
Looking forward to more Lord of the Rings sets!! 😄
Fingers crossed we get an epic Balrog build! Love the channel, so sorry to hear about the recent developments I hope you’re able to successfully fight it 🙏!
I think book nooks are an excellent theme for LEGO to venture into. Thanks for the info!
For Gondor!!
I'm just starting to introduce my kid to Lord of the Rings. We can build while we watch.
I’m intrigued by the book nook. That’s a scene I really want in set form, so I’m happy that’s what got chosen.

Kind of hoped that Gandalf vs Durins Bane would be a diorama. Anyways a fantastic video
So excited for all of these!
I’m so ready for more LOTR Lego sets!
Great video . Agreed about battle packs
For Gondor! :) Thanks for another great video and Lego LOTRO news!
Lego is doing everything to *technically* give us Gandalf vs Balrog but not actually give us Gandalf vs Balrog, why can't we simply get a regular set of that? Why? First those wierd big figures and now a booknook? Eh...

I’ve had loved a balrog set along the lines of the Marvel Thor v Surtur one - a large balrog figure, a handful of goblins and then Gandalf. Otherwise, surely the LOTR sets are primed for diaramas? So many iconic scenes and quotes. Army building sets would be a licence to print money for Lego - sure fire hit. Tough hearing what UA-cam have done to your channel though mate
Love the look of these!
For Gondor!
Definitely interested to see how the book nook style will turn out
Really hoping they’ll start doing more smaller sets, even remakes or reprints. In the $10-$75 sets. Harry Potter and Star Wars are still getting tons of sets so show a bit of love to the LotR & Hobbit people
Clicked on this video immediately!!
VERY excited to see what 2025 will bring for lego 'Lord of the Rings', I really think this is the beginning of a great rebirth for the theme!
Really excited for more Lord of the Rings sets. Especially the balrog!
So excited to get more LOTR sets! Thanks so much for making these videos!
I’d love a battle pack for each of the different factions in lotr, like elves and men or orcs. Hopefully they listen to us and make some more smaller sets
so excited for all the new sets 🤩 thanks for sharing ! Hope I win the fell beast 🖤
hello! Great vid, love your Lego LotR news! would like the fell beast!
I'm definitely nervous to see how the book nooks will turn out. For $120 I was hoping for an epic diorama and not a book nook since I feel like book nooks are normally pretty small.
For Gondor! Reserving judgement on the Balrog set, but that does seem a big price point. I hope it isn't the next "Star Wars dioramas" range....
Amazing, can't decide which is better, so will buy them both!
I hope Lego will bring more LOTR sets out in the future!
Love this!’!!!
Any news on the minifigs in bag end?
Guess it’s time to buy another lego bookshelf for display! A small investment for my favorite Lego series!
Okay, those Studio designs are DOPE!
Love the idea of Book Nooks! Also fingers crossed for the Fell Beast!
Book nook is cool but I agree more diorama sets and battle packs would be way better. For Gondor!
"For Gondor" TLG needs to see this and give us anything from the middle act of TROK.
This will be so awesome. I’m glad they are finally releasing affordable LOTRs sets. Our wish has been granted
Amazing news. So so hyped
I wish I had the money for these large lotr sets, hopefully they turn out good.
Another example of Lego Laziness. This book nook will produce a smaller than hoped for scene of something iconic. They could have just released it as a diorama (like they do for SW).

1:13 You Shall Not Pass!
can't wait for more medieval themes, we got Legend of Zelda, DnD and Lotr returning!!!!!!!! so hype
For Gondor! Love the vids and the new line of Lord of the Rings. By far my favorite movies ever!
So awesome seeing Lego bring back Lord Of The Rings sets!
Great vid! New subscriber here!!
Really hoping the balrog is a good size!
Sorry to hear about the UA-cam drama. :(
