My childhood didn’t include LEGO sets so to keep the child-like elements alive in the building of the sets and to keep the review on the level, I recruited Dresden (10) and Logan (8) to assist in the build and the experience.

The main keep is the core of the set with just the right peripherals to give a sense of fun from the film.All in all, this is a set I had always wanted and I'm so glad that unlike a lot of things this actually lives up to the hype, I cannot recommend this set enough, though like all things you should make sure you find a reliable seller to avoid some of the nasty little things (bags having been opened, missing pieces, missing figures, dirty parts, etc. From left Theoden, Aragorn, Haldir, Gimli, Uruk Hai without armor, Berserker Uruk Hai, and 2 Armored Uruks.

Looking back I only wish they had also included Eowyn in the set knowing she never appeared anywhere else. In fact, the Beserker Uruk would be a contender for best all-time figure as well up there for me with Skeleton, UFO Alien, Indian Chief and Indiana Jones.
