@@RayLilySeries I just really appreciate that Lego took the time to mold special parts to get him as movie accurate as they could with Lego. I'd love to see these pieces return somehow.
I still have this unopened in box. Hopefully will build soon, probably is it stacked somewhere in my tower of LEGO sets will need some effort to take it out
I regularly reminded myself that while I may be disappointed I miss stuff nowadays, forever thankful I was switched on back in the LEGO Middle Earth days to know what sets needed purchasing.
@@RayLilySeries for real. 14-year-old me had to decide between getting The Lonely Mountain or The Tower of Orthanc and I ended up going with Orthanc. Sucks that I missed out on the best lego dragon of all time, but I’m glad I managed to pick up almost all the rest of the middle earth sets back in the day
I shouldn’t be too surprised but I really am shocked every time I look at the current prices of any Middle Earth LEGO sets. Really was a theme people needed to get at the time of release.
Smaug is a real crowd jewel to me. I'm so glad I bought that set back in the day.
Agreed. Such amazing parts to make a really unique creature in LEGO.

Thanks :) Great set overall.

The whole line of Middle Earth is great and I’m really satisfied with the Hobbit line of things too.
This is the only set I’m most annoyed at myself for missing out on back in the day… I’ll pick it up eventually

Orthanc is a fantastic choice though
Do brown pieces break easily in this set? I heard that they are quitee brittle
I am far too afraid to test lmao. My Mines of Moria set has broken brittle pieces so can confirm sets from this era are very likely to break
@@RayLilySeries reddish brown is the worst lego color, very brittle
Nice video! I really want this set but it is wayyy to expensive!
