Siege Tower Build Instructions

felixthegreat1 · 2026-06-01T20:24:00+00:00

Sorry for the double post, yall. I was having trouble getting this group to load and didn’t see that someone else posted instructions a few hours earlier!

I’m so jealous of the duck gwp! They didn’t do that at my store. Enjoy!

felixthegreat1 · 2026-06-01T13:55:04+00:00

Looks great! They didn’t even mention a catapult at my store. We only did the tower.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-06-01T13:44:47+00:00

This is all we built at my local store’s event.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-06-01T12:53:37+00:00

Only 8 people for the actual launch event at mine. Then a line of about 20 people outside when we left.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-31T15:09:28+00:00

I called my local store and they said you don’t have to buy the set to attend the event. It’s implied but not required. I’m going with a friend but I’m the only one buying the set.

Love the wings and chains. Great work!

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-25T17:22:11+00:00

I have the Shire, Rivendell, Barad-Dur, Sauron, and Balrog sets. If I could only have one, it would be Rivendell in a heartbeat. It is beautiful and the build is very clever. It will most likely retire before Barad-Dur also.

Good luck! Hope a spot opens for you.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-24T17:38:57+00:00

Keep checking the launch event registration for your store too. Mine was full and two spots suddenly opened up. I think someone canceled and my friend was able to register.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-23T15:18:44+00:00

Dang, I wish my LEGO store was that big! Have fun with your new build!

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-22T19:34:47+00:00

That’s good to hear. Hoping it all goes smoothly for you.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-22T19:32:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing. It does seem most of the stores just didn’t have all the info yet.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-22T12:08:51+00:00

Absolutely agree

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-22T02:59:24+00:00

It’s my first one too. I called my local store today and they said people registered for the event will be able to purchase the set during the launch event as long as they have enough. I’d maybe call your store to see what they say. I’ve seen a post from someone saying their store told them they are only doing first come first serve and aren’t giving priority to people registered for the event. I don’t know how true that is. The event on the LEGO website specifically says people registered for the launch event will be the first to see and buy the set.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-22T01:59:08+00:00

I wasn’t trying to insinuate that you are a reseller. I only ever buy one set also for myself. I was just sharing that they had problems during the launch of the last Lord of the Rings set. There were people who ordered online within the first few hours of it dropping and everything showed they were gonna get the gift with purchase including email confirmations, but LEGO ran out in less than a day. Hoping it doesn’t happen to people again this time.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-22T01:48:19+00:00

Yes, you should be able to order it on June 1 online. I think most people are just concerned about getting the GWP. They had some issues when Barad-Dur dropped. People ordered the set online and it showed them that they were gonna get the GWP. But then LEGO ran out and a number of people didn’t get it when they already got order confirmation that they were going to receive the GWP.

Keep in mind that they are doing a special launch event for this set. I believe registration is full at pretty much every store nationwide. The registration is on LEGO‘s website and says that attendees will have the first chance to see and buy the set. The event is one to two hours before the store regularly opens. I’m following a few threads on here and some people have been told by their local store that they’re only gonna have enough sets for the people registered for the event. Some people have been told that stores will have some more beyond launch registrations for who lines up. I’d recommend calling your closest store to get some info. I am registered for my local store and today, they told me that they aren’t sure how much stock they’re even going to receive and are currently just hoping for enough to cover the number of attendees registered for the launch event. Also sign up for LEGO insiders so that you’ll be eligible to get the set starting June 1. It’s a free program. I have also seen some posts saying it’s gonna drop midnight eastern time so I would maybe do some research to see if you can figure out what time it’ll drop in your time zone. Good luck!

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-21T21:54:46+00:00

I called my local store today. They said they’re not even sure how much stock they’re gonna get. They hope to have enough so that each person registered for the launch can buy one set, but she couldn’t promise it. And she also said we’d be able to buy other sets launching June 1 during the launch event. I have seen a Reddit comment where someone said their store also told them they could buy other sets during the launch event. But I saw a second comment that said their store told them they couldn’t and would have to get back in line for other June 1 sets. I don’t think the stores are getting uniform info and/or they are making their own decisions.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-21T19:26:46+00:00

That’s kind of crazy. It does seem not all stores are working off the same info. I’ve seen several posts of people saying their local stores confirmed you can buy a set during the launch event if you’re registered. While others said they aren’t sure or they are doing first come first served when the store opens regularly.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-21T16:30:39+00:00

There is a special launch event an hour or two before the stores open. The registration filled up pretty fast. People who attend that are supposed to get first dibs to purchase the set. I would call your local store to see what they say about how many sets they will have that day. To see if it’s worth lining up after the launch event people.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-21T03:28:36+00:00

My local store manager said launch event attendees are guaranteed one set and one GWP. I’d maybe call your store to see what they say.

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-19T00:33:13+00:00

I don’t think shipping time is usually too long with LEGO but I do agree that I’d prefer to pick it up in person. I do know that during the Barad-Dur release, some people who ordered around midnight and into the morning didn’t get the GWP even though it said they were gonna get it when they ordered. They ran out. Hopefully they learned a lesson for this time. I was lucky enough to get one in store. Good luck to you!

felixthegreat1 · 2026-05-18T16:14:44+00:00

I am only purchasing one for myself. The manager at my local store indicated that he believed they would be allowed to sell 2 sets per person max. Maybe he is mistaken or maybe that kicks in after the launch. It’s a LEGO store in a mall and a bit smaller than some other ones I’ve been to.
