Again, for those who are trying to decide if they want to spend the money on these sets ... this little set is a great view of what's to come!

You'll notice some new 'textured' bricks in the castle piece. Also, note that this piece is intended to be 'added' to Helm's Deep; making this a great buy because it can work on it's own - in a group of them - or with the larger set!

the Factions:

Rohan


Details:
Rohan helmets and decals
Rohan back sides

Faces:
Rohan faces 1
Rohan faces 2

Structure:
inside the wall

Uruk-hai


Details & Faces:
Uruk-hai both faces and fronts
Uruk-hai backs

Weapon:
top view



This set has some really sweet pieces and will blend very well with what BF has to offer in Goblins and Battle weapons and armor!

Nice review, MC, made me more convinced than ever that this is the first LOTR set I'm getting. Even though they're fleshies...
By the way, everybody, stop torturing me with pics of these sets. I don't get how they're not out in DK yet -.-

I like the helmets, they look really cool.

Why on Earth would they be out in DK yet? It's not like LEGO and DK have anything to do with one another... :P

On topic: Thanks for these pics as well mC! I'm not a huge LotR fan, but I do love the Uruk-hai, and some of the parts in this set are awesome, so I may be picking this set up anyway. Once again, LEGO knows just how to squeeze pennies out of me...

:o)
