LEGO Lord of the Rings Hobbit The Battle of Helm's Deep (9474)

Product Information

They also appreciate the entertainment value, saying that it'd be fun for kids of all ages to play with. LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure and the brick and knob configurations are trademarks and/or copyrights of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this site.

I would say that is age appropriate, given the number of pieces and the amount of time it takes to construct. But the time spent building is part of the fun and definitely rewards the user with something to show after each of the bags is opened, sorted through and finished. The details, features, figs, and pieces are all amazing, and I would easily recommend this set to anybody, be they . Four go on the tower (to look like mossy stones), one goes on the banner, and the other is on the throne.

With his battle face on, there is some kid pleasure still in this adult that made it a lot of fun to pose the king on the cusp of battle.

Dresden and Logan got a real kick out of the wall flying to pieces while I had more fun with the Uruk siege ladder but we broke up the build sessions by doing one or two mini-bags of the set at a time. There are several Uruk Hai which are valuable by themselves and they are evenly matched by an Aragorn, Gimly and rare Haldir and Theoden minifigure.They say it has a great collection of minifigures, a big set with a lot of pieces, and unique elements. The scene from The Two Towers, which sees the human forces of Rohan and elves from Lothlórien fend off a siege from Saruman's mighty Uruk-hai, is a fan-favourite moment in Peter Jackson’s beloved film trilogy. A third ladder will appear on the left side of the wall; in front of it is a Cracked Lego Tile that can be smashed with Gimli to take care of this ladder. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Start by growing the tree on the right with Sam, then throw the coconuts it drops into the bottles in the carnival game directly behind it.

Finally, bash the Morgul object on the right side of the area and build the pieces that drop out into a large crossbow. Watching the tower on the inner ring and its Horn of Helm Hammerhand come together was perhaps the highlight of the process. He is holding a big and a small axe which makes him not so stable but luckily the long bar can act as a stick to make him stand. Some LEGO® sets contain small parts that are NOT suitable for and may pose a hazard to children under 3 years of age. Make no mistake, a set such as this is a financial commitment and to complete it takes a time commitment as well.My son always asks me what each set "does;" meaning: what special features (trapdoors, hiding places, etc) does it have? You can't find them elsewhere but there would be quite a lot of extras as quite a lot of people purposefully bought 2-3 sets or more to make a very big Helm's Deep castle.

Now they are all suited up, Theoden is holding a shield and a standard sword in this theme, and an amazingly detailed printed armor. Also while riding the horse through the orc hordes, smash five flags with the symbol of the white hand on them.Begin by shooting the target on the left with Legolas's bow, knocking down some gears that you can build into the mechanism to the right of the Silver gate. Its existence in the LEGO universe is enough to cause a fan to break into a smile; This is a perfect blend of toy, J.
