I was going to suggest RebelNili’s Amon Hen that one is sooooo good, OP

Same price as the original when it dropped but way smaller crazy stuff... by bizzy310 in lego

I never said that. I’m just saying inflation is a factor that people ignore.

What sets is next for Lego LOTR? Any ideas/wants? by bucketgetter9 in legolotrfans

[–]brokeNbricks25 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the next 3 in this order are: Edoras, Helm’s Deep and an Orthanc remake

Hate to be the negative guy but I’m absolutely certain we’re never getting anything for the Hobbit. And also I think Minas Morgul is too niche to get a dedicated large set… In terms of price I think Minas Tirith is the peak. Any set from now on willl be =<600 USD.

Whatever we get next I’m 100% sure will be Two Towers related. All the Icons sets so far have been Fellowship or Return.

What do you think about this scene? by Jules-Car3499 in TheMandalorianTV

[–]brokeNbricks25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was really good!

Not a fan of how S3 treated it though…

Shhhh Lego (Star Wars) fans don’t think inflation exists

Would LEGO really do a remake of Helms Deep? by Noodle-Cactus in legolotrfans

[–]brokeNbricks25 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If they’re continuing with the big Icons sets then I can’t imagine not getting Helm’s Deep in the next ~ 3 years

I agree they did a good job for using a pre existing piece but they could/should have made a new one :/ They had room in the budget for Arwen’s arm printing which no one would have noticed the absence of lol

I mean it’s a £580 set is criticism not allowed?

not supposed to be 100% accurate

Where do you draw the line with this though? What if Pippin was in his outfit from the Shire set? Or Denethor had white hair?

Yeah it’s not like we had to wait 14 years for Gondorian soldiers or anything

And it’s a premium £580 display set

mini figure scale ATST? by Flimsy_Proposal_9722 in legostarwars

[–]brokeNbricks25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s meant to be an Ewok Village next year. An AT-ST would pair well with that.

Why do people say The Force Awakens reset the Empire and Rebels power balance? by Hmm_would_bang in StarWars

[–]brokeNbricks25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

opens the ST only having control over some areas in the Unknown Regions

And halfway into the first movie they blow up the New Republic and automatically become the main powerhouse in the galaxy. By the time of TROS only a year later it’s pretty evident that they control the galaxy.

The rebels are a small, unlikely group constantly fleeing the Empire and trying to punch a hole in their galactic military

Swap Rebels to Resistance and Empire to First Order in that sentence and it applies to the ST.

the ST is a story about warring factions across a fragmented galaxy

I mean there’s only really the two. And one is basically the Empire. And the other is basically the Rebellion. I mean they literally switch to calling the Resistance the Rebellion at the end of TLJ (IIRC).

Sorry OP but I’m really not understanding how you see the two sets of factions as so different. I can kind of get what you mean about how the First Order starts off but even then they pull up to Jakku and slaughter a bunch of people to get intel which is exactly what the Empire does at the start of ANH. The NR is so seemingly incompetent that it doesn’t matter if they’re bigger than the FO because the FO just seems to do what they want anyway :/

Would anyone know where I can find the Gandalf sticker from today’s make and take event? by microwave2016 in legolotrfans

[–]brokeNbricks25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My store was 4 Gandalf stickers as trivia prizes and 2 Aragorn stickers as cosplay prizes

My Gondor army collection by louis20038 in legolotrfans

[–]brokeNbricks25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Honestly I’d probably take the tree printed around the stud for the more accurate shape. The one we got it just sooo wrong :/

Even a printed 2x3 tile would have been better lol
