This set was a disappointment. There were a number of times when putting this together when I scratched my head and asked, "why?"Having put it together, I'd say a reasonable price for this set (compared to other LEGO brand sets) is about $75.This set includes 841 pieces spread out between 5 bags. The minifigures are also separated between the bags which speeds building time.What you can't tell from the box is that this set is actually 4 separate parts - the throne, the bridge, and two small platforms.BUILDING TIPS:Sections of this set are very weak until all the bricks are placed on it. I'd recommend using a hard, flat, level surface. Also, this set makes use of black, dark brown, and brown bricks.

The large Goblin King is the ugliest Lego figure ever, but the rest of the minifigures are nice with lots of fun little details with their hair or weapons. They all have two facial expressions to choose from, except Gandalf, who only has one.This set comes with a little bucket with a handle that I have never seen before, I am a huge Lego fan and I love acquiring new pieces like this. It also came with an anchor like piece, a book, some bones, some little yellow crystals and a barrel (I will post a picture).The instruction booklets are in a plastic bag with the cardboard sheet so they don't bend in the box. The stickers that you apply are made out of a plastic material instead of paper,

This product is definitely one of Lego's best Hobbit sets. It is full of special functions like a breaking bridge and latter, hidden treasure and a moveable scribe's chair/bucket/thing. If you've seen the movies, then you know what I'm talking about. The set also includes a full sized Goblin king, with posable arms and hands. This set utilizes many minifigures, and it is not hard to create cool battle scenes, without having minifigures that have no purpose. Even though caging one of the minifigures (I choose Ori the most because he is more timid and less battle ready) seemingly puts them out of the game, he is still a part of the set and has a purpose. As with most lego LotR and Hobbit sets,

Let me start of by saying this set is four pieces. The throne is the largest piece followed by the bridge and then the two sections on the right of the throne. I got this set on sale for $60 but it is worth $100.Throne: the throne is really cool. The Goblin King fits perfectly on his throne and the secret goblin treasure pushes out from under it. The bridge is cool and there is two functions included. You can collapse the bridge and send the ladder tumbling. The cooking pot is pretty cool (I filled it with extra bones and a skull). There is also a small catapult and a cage. Overall, the whole set looks eerie just like it should. The skulls and bones all around give it a evil-like feel.

I have just gotten back into LEGOs since Christmas and bought this set as it went on sale on Amazon. I absolutely love this set! I must agree with the other reviews that I am not completely sold on builds that have the "platform" or "island" type dioramas... however, the sheer size and density of this set is outstanding and gives your collection a LOT of bits and pieces that you might have a hard time otherwise getting. You get a slew of minifigs, so much that is what pretty much enticed me to begin with. The Goblin King and 3 lackies are unique and figs you can use when building fantasy/castle themes later on. I love all the brown pieces, plates, bones and skulls in this.

Having read the books, and seen the movies, I have to say this set really captures the whimsical essence of The Hobbit. The amount of characters and accessories in the set is great. The Goblin King looks terrific, I especially like that he is so unique. He's not just a recast of the troll from Moria. The little details of the set really add to its overall character. I really wanted to give this five stars, but I couldn't, here's why; Lego needs to stop providing stickers to add detail to their sets. The details should for the most part come from the design of the set, and unique pieces. Stickers never come out right, and they make the building experience less fun. Also,

My hubby who loves both Legos and LOTR was jazzed about this gift. He use to have a tub full of legos, but sold it after college, and has regretted it ever since. I got this as a gift for him so he can restart his Lego collection. The set itself is not very large, it took him about 2 1/2 hrs to build. This set has lots of weird pieces like "skulls," sharp bones, and of couse the Goblin King. My husband like werido things and this was up his alley. I think the detail pieces, like a book that opens, little jewels,etc are really niece touches. I would really recommend this set to any kid at heart. The only thing that bummed me out was the price, I ended up paying $25 more here on Amazon,

I allowed my late teen daughters pick which lego set and they chose this one. We normally get a lego set for New Years Eve to put together to kill time till midnight, but with the COVID-19 crap, I hoped that this would hold their bored teenage attention for a couple of days. This is a pretty good build, but I'm not sure it was worth the cost that we purchased it for. However, it did entertain and provide a nice distraction for a little, while. I would advise anyone to look at the Star Wars lego sets, as they provide hours to days of entertainment, for around the same amount of money. Anyway, stay safe and healthy. Blessings and shade to all.

This is an awesome set. I got this for my 7 year old girl who has begun to love Legos. It's rated for ages 9-14, so unless your child has a great amount of patience and maturity, do not order for a younger age. This set has many tiny pieces. That said, my 7 year old LOVES it. She's spent hours sitting and putting it together. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The parts are easily arranged and easy to identify. We've almost got the whole thing put together by now, and it looks SO COOL. If you love Legos, and you love cool things, and you want to sit with your child and do it together, this is the set for you. I would buy again.

I gave it this rating because it has a lot of really small pieces that are easy to overlook when reading the instructions. It takes a long time to put it together. Other than that, it's great!It's realistic. The characters are ugly enough to be real. It comes with a lot of extra weapons. It's just an awesome set!I would recommend this to everyone who likes Legos and the Hobbit. I would NOT recommend this for children under 8 due to the myriad of tiny pieces.My 14-year-old was given this set for his birthday. This review was dictated by him. He was very skilled at Lego sets above his age range.

This set is EPIC! The minifigures Dori, Nori, Ori, and Gandalf are so cute! The Goblin King and his mini army are cool, as well. I just love all the details put into every character and the background pieces. The Goblin King's throne looks very much like it does in the movie, and the collapsing bridge is great.Dori's and Nori's weapons are perfect. The only thing "missing" is a slingshot for Ori (but check his back pocket!) I was actually able to make a makeshift slingshot using extra pieces. Overall, a perfect 5-stars!!

My son ordered this set, and the item was received very quickly. He loves Lego toys. He is 14 years old, and still enjoys putting together every new set. Lord of the Rings is the latest for him. Legos are of great quality, they are durable, they have different items according the kids/teen ages, and they help kids use their imagination while playing. Legos also keep up the brain working while kids put the sets together. Highly recommended.

As with all other kits, my sons loved it and put it together immediately. I now find the Hobbit King's fist implanted in the flesh of my heel after stepping on it in the dark. The next big thing is a lego vacuum / sorter, just like the old egg sorting machines. It needs to be backpack style to pick up all 4,823 pieces lying on my floor, and my stairs, and under the covers of my bed, and falling into the toilet bowl (true but gross story).

I enjoy the set, however it does have one major issue that needs to be addressed. The platform and main play area is separated into 4 or 5 sections and they are not connectable in any way. So you have to keep them together by just mashing them close together. Which is fine for people who would like to display the set, but would not be ideal for play. Other than that the set is fantastic, great figures and loads of detail.

I purchased this for my nephew for his xmas/birthday present. If it was not his birthday then it would have been ridiculously expensive, like ALL lego's to buy as one gift for a child (or anybody for that matter). Hate that lego's are that expensive. Even when my own kids, 30 years ago, were small they were expensive. Hopefully I can sell all their lego's for what we paid for them back then!
