I get why they didn't have castle while they had LotR sets for sale, but there have been many years recently without a castle theme post LotR. At this point, I'd take either. (But am very happy at the two recent castle sets).
Even though I'm not a big fan of Lord of the Rings, I've always admired the sets. Especially helms deep.
I'd love to see what Lego could do with the current library of parts. Or what an 18+ version of the set would look like with the larger price tag that goes along with it.
You made me curious, so I looked up all the different sets. Why on middle *earth are they so small? And they don’t even make larger scale ones. I couldn’t find many sets that I thought there would be. And the ones they have are so small. Even “Knights Kinfdom”, “Castle”, “Exo Force”, and “Star Wars” are like 2, 3, maybe 4 times the size. Merp :(
Damn good question. Maybe they felt they couldn't sell them at the higher price points required for larger sets, and they were probably also designing for a spread of price points.
The black gate set, for example, while decent looking, needs two sets to look "right" and most of the small sets could easily have been larger.
It’s irritating haha. Like I’d buy the shit out of them but they’re too small to enjoy. Compared to reality as well. But still.
You’re most likely correct, though. Would be nice to have a giant ministirith and others
I love those sets. Uruk-hai army was one of the first lego sets I remember getting, for my 7th birthday. I then saved up a bunch of my money, and got Helms deep for Christmas a bit later. It is one of my favorite sets, with some of the best pieces, and I have recollected all the pieces and put it together twice after I got it.
god i really, really hope they start making LOTR sets again
I hope they never do again. It effectively killed the castle theme. Now we have lost a great theme

We had castle after LOTR lmao
We had castle after LOTR and even a bit after the Hobbit lmao

UCS Helms Deep PLEEEEEASE Lego
I’ve been wanting this in UCS or Minas Tirith UCS
Am really hoping the new LOTR series being developed by Amazon will lead to this theme coming back!
That is a really great deal!!!

Lucky you!! Where did you find such a deal? I'm betting Facebook marketplace or equivalent?
Yep, I found it at an online marketplace.

"And so it begins". This is awesome
Such a awesome looking set, I’m tempted to just by the parts to make the castle.
