What do you think of the set? What or who do you think should've been in the set? I think Isildur and Elrond are big missed opportunities.
Definitely should’ve had the Witch King or at least some Nazgûl. Still looks great though.
I think the figure selection is good, i just would’ve preferred new Frodo and Sam figures
It's a Masterpiece!
@@captainj6298 there is a nazgul
I also would’ve saved Gothmog for minas tirith
It's the lego batman movie guy 😱
👁️
I've always found it hilarious that Sauron in that movie is just a giant, personified tower lol.
🤣🤣🤣
Only reason I’m buying this set lol
Great comment 😂
I think the choice to “lighten” the pieces around The Eye to give it a forced glow was absolutely genius. It works so well and gives so much life to the build
Yeah me too. I originally thought it was just a glowing effect
Ya it, like the rocks on the bottom, add some color to a super dark set
@@Ashnflash agreed! I have the Tower of Orthanc set and as beautiful as I think it is, the exclusive use of black muddles the details. I’m really happy they found a clever and effective way to add some color to this equally monochromatic tower 😅
Now we need lego pirates of the Caribbean theme back 😭
Pleaseeeeeeee
That would be amazing
Lego: “i am disinclined to acquiesce to your request”
No but seriously we need them
But how are people gonna sell the $200 lego Black Pearl for $4,000
Yessssss!
I think the sticker that says “shire?” & “baggins?” is a reference to when gollum was tortured for information by Sauron 18:04
Forgot to mention that specifically. But yes!
I would have liked to see an Eowyn minifigure come with the Fell Beast, as we've never gotten her before.
She should be in the Minas Tirith set.
@@GoatzombieBubba What do you mean? Theres been no minas tirith leaks
Would’ve added to the set
@@GoatzombieBubba We don't know when/if we'll get that set
10:32
“Frodo!! They have Netherite ingots!”
Hahahaha
I reckon the inside of mount doom would have made a good diorama set for $80-$100. Have Isidur and Elrond as the characters along with Sam, Frodo and Gollum.
Yessss! I’ve been saying this since last year, dioramas are a good middle ground of cheap sets but still for adults
@@Ashnflash exactly, it will certainly give Lego the money they want.
Honestly every single floor of this set is awesome with alll the little details and references! The minifgures while a smaller amount is still awesome with Sauron and the awesome armour!! Now we need Saruman and helms deep next!!!
We need moreeee! Glad you like the set and all its details!
My favorite part has got to be the orange around the eye, what a great detail
Such a cool addition
One Lego set to rule them all, one Lego fan to find them, One Lego piece to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
They should have printed the mentally and physically destroyed versions of Sam and Frodo from the scenes in Mordor in the LOTR videogame, the scruffy look on the face, the no sleep marks, and the outfits worn out, that and also the printed armor they use in that scene, to either recreate the tossing of the ring without the armor, or putting the whole armor and helmets, to be in disguise
Such a missed opportunity
💯
This is exactly what they needed to do.
Awesome set, we were waiting for your review video!!
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the review! I love this Barad-dûr set!
we need a updated shire set that would be so cool
Yesssss
We need a Shire or Lonely Mountain set
Yeah I agree that would be awesome
Those would be awesome to get
Well there was a Bag-End set and Erebor set with Smaug when The Hobbit movies came out. Eventually Lego might remake them in miniature "Architect" style. But I think they will have other priorities like locations we've never seen before : Edoras, Minas Tirith, the Argonath, a buildable Oliphant, just to name a few
Shire yes. But Lonely Mountain no. No one wants crap from that bad movie trilogy.
The lonely mountain definitely needs a modern take 🔥😫
Good review thanks
It’s amazing!!! I can’t wait until release day! Thank you so much for sharing! 🎉
Thanks for watching! Excited for you to get it!
@@Ashnflash 🥳🎉🤩!! Thank you Ash!
Amazing review and great set!
Awesome video ashnflash 😊
Thankss
@@Ashnflash you're welcome 😊
Looks fantastic set great detail awseome review 👍
Thanksss! Glad you like the set
Best review of the set I’ve watched. Kudos!
Aw thank you so much!
Hope lego make next in lord of the rings set
Minas tirith
Helms deep
I need those so badly 😂😭
I also want to see lego do the dwimer berg, were legolus,glimey abd aragon enter thus haunted cave called dwimmer berg that tests aragon if he has whs it takes to be king
Also the dwimmer berg
Dwimorberg
Great review and great set! Can’t wait for a full wave lol
Lollll. We’ll see if I even get the Fell Beast. I really am not impressed
This feels more like Jestro's Lair than the unfathomable terror of Barad Dur.
Amazing review i just wish it had more known mini figures like saruman as a throwback to the other tower
I understand that. I’d love a new Saruman
It's missing a big section of tower above the rock formation.
I still like it.
I've been looking forword to get one of that soon😁👍
Stellar review! I'm really tempted, but saving my money for the rumored X-Mansion this Fall.
Yeah let’s go awesome review is here who’s gonna be picking this up on June 1
Thanksss! I might get this just for the promo 😅
And for the expanding as a video idea
Hell no!! Looks like a chinese moc….and the god dammed eye from the movies is there…plus that middle rock band…the whole thing is disgusting
Possibly 👀
I Love how you said Saruman! You said it just like Gandalf😂
22:15 I love what they did with the orange, so clever
It adds so much to this set
Really sells the illusion 😍
I have been waiting for this set for years. The build looks amazing, the minifigs look amazing, everything is perfect.
I just don't see the point of the little secrets like the spider, I will for sure put it on the exterior.
The brown bricks to make the impression the lava or the eye is glowing is really clever, I hope the demarcation is not too brutal
The only thing we need now are battle packs of orcs, to build an army coming out of Barad Dur.
Also, I did some math in my room to reorganize all my shelves so I can still expose my legos that are already exposed aswell as Barad Dur, I hope it will work lmao
Cool helmets if I ever get my hands of those new helmets....I would love to make cool new custom minifigures
never seen Lord of the Rings but this set is really good
You should get the sets and put them on while you build!
You need to watch the movies. Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers, and Return Of The King are mandatory for everyone to watch. They're masterpieces.
Rivendell had the orange brick separator and this set has the teal green one.
Love the look of the set hope to see more from the lotr
Glad you like it too and want more :)
Really hope we get a return to Pirates of Caribbean. Lego been coming back to the early 2000s. Imagine a UCS or Masterbuilders Black Pearl.
Something I'm SO used to is the brown orcs being Mordor Orcs and the green ones being Moria Orcs. I have the old Lord of the Rings LEGO sets to thank for that.
We need lego lone ranger back
The Shire being shown burning in the palantír is a reference to the book. In the book Saruman the White (now Saruman of many colours) is still alive by the time the ring is destroyed, and after deceiving Radagast the Brown he takes his remaining Uruk Hai and enslaves the shire. There's a whole hobbit rebellion and everything and eventually Saruman is betrayed by wormtongue simular to the movie.
The chapter is called the scouring of the Shire.
Something about Sauron’s helmet gives off the 1989 Batman vibes, same molding process possibly?
Now I really want an Orc Battle Pack!!!
Edoras set would be AWESOME.
For sure!
Beautiful 😍😍😍
Thinking that the shire in flames on the orb is a reference to the chapter “The Scouring of The Shire” in Tolkien’s book. Great video, thanks!!
Well, i'm rlly planning to buy that set, it looks completely amazing
Gonna get the promo?
@@Ashnflash I dont know what are you talking about🤣 Sorry, english isnt really my Main language
@@ScatterShot_officialyou will get that dragon at the beginning of the video for free if you buy Barad Dur in the first 7 days
Are you going to order it right away so you get the Fell Beast set?
it's beyond my patience to build something that big, but it looks awesome.
They need to make a orc and Gondor soldier battle pack
Can they still make Sauron in Lego, only with a removable helmet and no shoulder pad?
I don't like the gradient effect on the middle section. I also hate how those Blue plates shine through on the top section which you pointed out. Then there's the reused Frodo and Sam minifigures, which should have been updated.
Overall this set is a 8.5/10 and I hope to own it someday, but it has some issues.
I to missed out on the first Tower, and wish they would release it with this one even if it’s limited. Going forward hopefully Lego releases one location a year.
I'm not a lotr fan but this is going straight to my room next to the Joker manor...
Would love more affordable and playscale sets helms deep from the original wave was a good balance of displayabilty and affordability
For sureeee! We need more
We really need a full-on theme or at least a whole wave of sets!
For sure!
When will you make a review of a set 71821 Cole's Titan Dragon Mech ? ? ?
That Gothmog face would be really great for a custom Clayface fig
Ahahah I can see that
You mentioned this, and I might be wrong, but we do have black spear pieces with the flat bottom. They came with Clock King during the Lego Batman Movie.
I’m not sure. The book said it’s a new recolour and I saw some people freaking out about them yesterday
@@Ashnflash Yeah, I mean, I may be wrong, I’m having trouble finding the piece, but either way, it’s cool to get them.
If they ever make smaller sets, they need a different print for Sméagol. The Gollum figure works, but if they re-used it for Sméagol that would be weird
I can already see people making some War Of The Last Alliance dioramas with this set! Minus the Eye Of Sauron of course, because that emblem didn’t appear until the Third Age, years after the war.
5:00 I think it will be best if we wait for the MOC community to come up with a tower extender with instructions and just by the parts needed, would be loads cheaper then buying 2 sets
Suggestions for new LoTR sets: Prancing Pony in Bree, Lothlorien (part of it), Argonath, Amon Hen, Dead Marshes, Meduseld/Edoras, Dunharrow, Minas Morgul, Cirith Ungol, Osgiliath, Pelennor Fields, Minas Tirith, Faramir’s waterfall hideout.
Grey Havens. door to Moria with the watchers, bridge of Khazad dum with Balrog, mumakil,
I bet lego will remake the tower of Orthank next to complete the two towers collection. maybe the year after, they make baggend
Let's hope the Witch King is in a Minastirith set with a more detailed fell beast
How much time do you need for each section separately?
Great, now I want a Vader’s Castle that’s the same size.
I would like some micro scale orcs that can be put on the outside of the tower.
After watching a speed build and seeing all the figs and their bags, I’ve decided to do bag 31 first, I just NEED the dark Lord watching his fortress be built before his eyes.
Ahahaha I never thought that you now need speed builds to see what’s inside paper bags.
Honestly, you could start by building the top of the tower and work downwards
This is something I never thought we could get in real life, But after After all these years, LEGO Sauron Tower is Real! 🔥💍
They had something similar from china years ago, cheaper…this is ugly plus an actual eye like in the movies?/?
I never ordered a Lego set before but how do you get the fellbeast I know you purchase this set but is there any extra steps or just purchasing this set .
Pretty sure you just order ir
Just buy the set make sure you do it 1st June as the fellbeast will sell out fast and then be sold on ebay for a premium
If it’s in stock, it’ll show up in your cart when you check out
Aside from the blue tiles (and price) my only real complaint with this set is Gothmog. I think they should have given him a unique lame arm and molded head, but otherwise I think the set is another home run 👍
i can't understand is there any reason they made rubbery armor and helmet ?
Sam used Sting to fight off Shelab.
Seen that people had issues with big wasted space orc dinning area. I like that its fitting with "Meats back on the menu!" joke. Its canon in the movie that orc know what a menu is, so its only fitting that they have a big restaurant space and orc chef XD
Ya I heard another review said it was too jokey for the set, meanwhile like I mentioned in the video, there’s another tower WITH a dining hall. So it fits perfectly I think
26:37 the head piece for mouth of Sauron is not new. It’s the same one from the black gate
Nope, it’s all new and been updated
Will Lego stores be having the gift with purchase? For Braaderd
Fell beast. But it sold out already.
When the camera is static, your audio goes from what seems like an external mic to simply using the phone in a room. Would be nice to have consistent audio no matter how it was filmed. Others do it.
Gotta love those LAN review copy paper bags that are still not fully out in the wild.
It’s not a LAN thing, it’s a region thing. Because these sets are from the EU they have them. It’s just not happening here right now
@@AshnflashPaper bags are sporadic at best across the pond based on feedback from people actually buying sets in the wild over there. LAN is definitely making sure their review copies they send out have the paper bags.
23:37 So wonderful
Anyone thing the mouth of Sauron fig could be used to make custom Batman who laughs?
People have used the old one for years! I’m so happy to have him in my collection now for that
Minas Tirith next please
Pleaseeee
These helmets deserve a LOR battle pack 😅
Yesssss
Must buy day 1
Glad you’re excited
We need the dwimmer berg
Dwimorberg
That Gallom looks better than the one I had before I lost it they came in the game Lego dimensions
The fact we have finally gotten Sauron in Lego Form is insane and it's like a dream come true, Sauron is my favorite Middle Earth Villain, I'd love to see a Sauron Movie, Lego Dimensions should have released Sauron years ago. I love the Interior inside his Tower,(we've never seen inside his Tower to see it for the first time is a treat) The Eye of Sauron is accurate, it's almost an exact replica, my only negative is they could have put in a few more characters in this masterpiece of a set like:
1. Islidur (Aragon's Ancestor)
2. Elendil (The King of Gondor in the Second Age and Islidur's Father)
3. Second Age Elrond
4. Gil-Galad
5. Second Age Last Alliance Elf Soldier (x2)
6. Second Age Last Alliance Gondor Soldier (x2)
7. A few Easterling Warriors (x3) (Third Age)
8. The Witch-King
I'd love to see Minas Tirith/Gondor next, The Kingdom of Rohan, The Village of Bree and Minas Morgal (The Ringwraiths's City) next, if you're thinking of building an Arkham Asylum Moc, put Sauron and The Phantom Zone Criminals from The Lego Batman Movie in as Displaced Inmates 😅
This looks so awesome I'm really impressed but I'm kinda mad because they shut down the lego store in the Ashville mall
Oh no….. I can’t imagine if they closed my LEGO Store 😔
Maaan, I want to get this, but now I’m thinking what if they release Minas Tirith or Edoras next? I kind of want those more, and I can’t afford them all!
Ahhaha ya it might get tough going forward
While I can’t afford this set & would have nowhere to put it if I could, I do really want to just get that Sauron minifigure by itself when it appears on BrickLink. Yes it’s gonna be like $50 on BrickLink but at least that’s way cheaper than buying a whole massive flagship titan set I’m not interested in, especially when my budget could be spent elsewhere this June like with the new Ninjago, Jurassic World, & Star Wars set releases.
$50 minimum I hope lol. But my advice is buy it ASAP because I think the price is only gonna continue to go up
There will be a Great Trio:
1 - Rivendell, where the Fellowship of the Ring was born.
2 - Barad Dur as one of the Two Towers.
3 - Minas Tirith, where the Return of the King took place.
Mmmm love that a lot. Then repeat - the Shire, Rohan or Helms Deep and Minas Morgul
I’ve always wondered, how do you get these great lego sets so early on?
Lego sends him free sets
I’m a part of the LEGO Ambassador Network where I’m sent sets early for review. But sometimes, smaller sets, you might find them in Walmart or other toy stores
I love this set but it‘s really expansive😢 also love your videos keep ging!!❤
Thank you! Hopefully you’ll have the chance to get this someday 😊
They should have absolutely included a Cake on the dinning table just as an homage to BrotherhoodWorkshop's Partnership with LEGO for Lord of the Rings animations!!
Ahhahaha that would’ve been funny
OMG Lego! y u have to be so amazing! Now i must buy this set and my wallet is crying😭
Ahhahaha 💀
This looks cool, makes me think they could do this for Vader’s fortress.
Ouuuuuu! Yes please
Do you prefer this or the Rivendell set?
Rivendell I think is still my favourite. Gonna be hard to beat that
The largest Lego Batman set!
Let’s see if this one stays up
The review lol?
I'm so incredibly excited for this masterpiece Can't wait to purchase this. I think it would be cool to have the mouth or Sauron coming out the gate and then behind him is an army of orcs. there was still a lot that was not covered in the films. the mouth of Sauron actually traveled to dale and Erebor to declare war Apon them. or give them a chance to join Sauron. they refused and so Sauron sends an army of Easterlings to go and attack them. brain of dale, the grandson of bard the bowman and Dain Iron foot fought to the death to defend the lands but sadly both died in battle. I love all the detail put into it; it is really beautiful and menacing looking. and it's always nice to see brand new Lego pieces being made. the more new Lego pieces come out the more building opportunities there become. 😊 the hole inside is great too I think Lego really nailed it with the inside. most likely down the road too I bet Lighttailing, or light my bricks will make a full light kit for the set. thank you so much for your review you did a wonderful job. WOOOO! I'm SO EXCITED!!! 😊
Sauron looks a little too stumpy. Why didn’t they use the long legs and arms for him? He just looks weird against the other minifigs.
I’m just happy to have him. Especially as someone who played the video games and loved Dimensions
