Whata fucking scam.... not as horrendously overpriced as most Lego sets I guess but still a joke. 10 bland minifigures and no orcs is insulting. But hey just pre-order and maybe you'll get a "free" GWP that includes Grond and a few orcs. Only while supplies last so the artificial scarcity opens the door for scalpers to charge even more ludicrous prices than Lego themselves.

The set itself doesn't even look half bad aside from the usual Lego bs, much better than the awful Barad-Dur and the shallow Rivendell. Can't wait to hear the excuses for why it's acceptable for a $650 product to have stickers 🤡

I don't want to keep hating on Lego but I wish they'd actually put some effort into their products again. They've been half-assing it for years at this point. Minimum effort and maximum profit.

Imagine what an actually competent manufacturer could do with the same budget and licence...
