Really lovely and emotional, could feel your excitement through the vlog, it’s amazing how Lego makes us all smile. Really pleased you got what could be the best set of 2023! .. well I know we are only three months in. !!😊. Enjoy the whole building experience.
Thank you so much for doing this vlog! It’s always a joy to watch you go on an adventure, especially one where you are beyond excited about getting a set. I’m so happy for you that you were also able to score the moving truck set unexpectedly, so you don’t have to purchase one separately. I hope everyone who wants Rivendell is able to get one before it retires. It seems like it will be one of those special sets that ends up on many a white whale list in the future.
You are so so cute I love it it’s how I feel inside as a 43 year old but I hold it in a lot and you was super happy on the store everyone could see it and that is so beautiful, LEGO is just that awesome. Wonderful videos and thank you for your entertaining videos I appreciate you and can’t wait to see what you do next. Enjoy I also picked up my Rivendell but unable to build it now because I have no room and a half dozens of sets here and I can’t build anything until we move to a bigger place so I can have a Lego room.
We were the couple at the front… I dragged my husband out early and we got there at 9 before any of the staff had arrived (super awkward)… for the first hour I was panicking that no one else would get there early and that I’d made him stand in the cold for two hours. I was so relieved when other people started to arrive 😂
Hope your having a blast putting this one together the music in the store was a really nice touch. i saw you in the store you looked mega happy. the walk back to the carpark was a mission i did a school boy and park right up top! the extra gwp was a nice surprise as well
I appear in your video a few times, which I love. Sorta famous now haha. It was nice to see you and the pure joy and excitement you have for this set. We started building it on Sunday too, so didn’t catch much of your live stream. Hopefully catch the next part. Enjoy the rest of the build, I know we will 😊
Instead of putting the big box on the floor, just turn in upside down on the table and lift the outer box up/off. Your back will thank you ;) It also makes for a way better reveal shot.
I just pre-ordered it on midnight. I was really nervous as well spending that much on a set but considering the price to piece ratio, it’s not bad. Also got two free sets with it plus Lego points and credit card points. This is a set I’m planning on having for a very long time so I’m happy 😊
I really enjoyed watching this video, I could actually feel your excitement and get it 100%. This will be my next big purchase sometime near Easter. Enjoy building it!
05:46 TLG are not actually selling the Frodo and Gollum brickheadz like the other 2 LOTR brickheadz right now. Seems they stopped selling them in order to offer them as a GWP for Rivendell! 07:29 My preciousssss….😂 07:40 I think the blonde and brunette “unnamed” elves are Erestor and Glorfindel. Both were present at the council, Erestor being a Lord and the chief of the House of Elrond and Glorfindel being a lord of Rivendell.
Oh I had no idea they stopped selling it. Sensible in order to make sure they have enough. I wasn’t sure if the elves were them as they’re generally pictured walking around or as the smiths. So didn’t want to say the wrong thing :p
yeah they don’t specify their names in the build, but given that there were only 2 other elves at the council- one blonde, one brunette seems to make sense. 😂
Congrats! Oh my goodness.. I wanted to catch your livestream the other day bc I too, went out and hesitantly handed over a whole lot of money for this set & I wanted to completely geek out & build with other people lol, however, I was super busy when I got back home so I am sorry I missed it! Hopefully I’ll catch the next one! I gotta say, I saw the moving truck on display in a modular scene at my store & hoped that they would still have some bc like you, I too planned on buying it afterwards- alas, no truck for me. Since I’m still in the midst of clearing out a space to build everything, I haven’t opened it yet, but I will very soon & cannot wait! I have a desk arriving tomorrow, hopefully.. then it’s time to build the desk & some more furniture & get to building allllllllll of the things lol I’m so glad you got it! I hope (well, I’m sure you are-) you’re enjoying it!
When I saw this, you reminded me of a child on Christmas day. When they get something really good, that they have been wanting for soooooo long. I have decided i'm saving my VIP points to hopefully pay in full or at least most of the cost for the Titanic.
Hi Johanna. Thx for your nice video, and your will to share our passion for Lego products. I just wanted to tell you that I respect your advice on Rivendell set as a gorgeous set to get because YOU paid it on your own money ! So many RUclipsrs tell us "get it, so wonderful, na na ni na na na..." and they were offered the set for free by Lego...how legit is this kind of assesment, as on my side I would drink hot water for dinner every day this month just to buy the precious ?! I am a bit angry on TLG marketing strategy, and I will not buy forever bricks from them to build a Modular MOC as the price is much too high. Other manufacturers provide quality bricks nowadays, at half the price ! So sad to spoil your nice review with my "distress",of course i keep on watching your videos as your enthusiasm is contagious and I love your Moc's, especially the Lego Store one which amazed me ! Keep up the good work, greetings from northern France.
Rivendell’s brief appearance in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, underscored by composer Howard Shore’s majestic soundtrack, is one of my favourites from Sir Peter Jackson’s acclaimed trilogy. A refuge from darkness, beautiful and rich in history.
Hello there, what is a theme that you don't see a lot of youtube videos about, and if you were not making videos of harry potter what would you make videos about
I've been Catching your videos for a week or 2 weeks now. I always like them but Today you earned my Sub. I genuinely shared your excitement here. Great Video, keep it up. P.S I'm so jealous!
If you've only watched HighTeaToys VIDEOS do try to catch a live stream if possible. They're so much fun. Such a fun and welcoming group in chat. Welcome!
Oh I definitely will in that case, thankyou for the heads up! Ive caught a replay of stream but yeh I will definitely get in on a live stream and join the chat 😎😎
I love that Lego allows us adults to act like excited children again! 😃So great you got your beloved set, it looks amazing! ❤️😀
I love how excited you are!!! It’s great to see pure lego emotion!!!❤
There's other RUclipsrs I feel like don't deserve this -- you deserve this.
Birthday, Christmas and everything at once. Impossible not to be happy for you. I was smiling through the entire video.

Congratulations on getting it Johanna. It's on my wish list! Love your excitement
This is an awesome set. I wasn’t planning on getting it, but since they released Barad Dur, Rivendale is back on the menu.
So happy to see your excitement. And how lucky to even get the moving truck. Can’t wait to see this beauty build 😊

I’m really pleased you got a dream set and hope you enjoy building it. This is a set I will be picking up too but not sure when yet 🤔
Just discovered your channel. Love your enthusiasm- so infectious! My Rivendell set has just arrived 🎉. So excited.
Now …. I need a lighting kit !
I just pre-ordered it on midnight. I was really nervous as well spending that much on a set but considering the price to piece ratio, it’s not bad. Also got two free sets with it plus Lego points and credit card points. This is a set I’m planning on having for a very long time so I’m happy 😊
Total happiness. I saw it yesterday in the vegas LEGO brand store. Wow it’s massive
So exciting, Enjoy the build :)
I really enjoyed watching this video, I could actually feel your excitement and get it 100%. This will be my next big purchase sometime near Easter. Enjoy building it!

Big set so needs the big van

Excited with you!
Very luck lady! So so many large lego sets this year. Defo one to save for!
So many indeed. This one was my priority though. It feels even more special for it being the first large set I got this year 😊
😂Im really feeling with you ! Such an amazing set congratulations
How many people were there in the queu? 20 sets that day, or more?
Oh easily. It was very popular to be sure.
I want this set so bad but feel like there's other large sets that will retire first that I should prioritize 🥴😔
Endorfine overload!!
I’m so excited for you 😂
Hello there, what is a theme that you don't see a lot of youtube videos about, and if you were not making videos of harry potter what would you make videos about
well jealous
Ditto. Although there are other sets I have my eye on. Just so many I’d enjoy building
I wish the box had different design, more immersive I would say, like older lotr lego.
Brilliant
I've been Catching your videos for a week or 2 weeks now. I always like them but Today you earned my Sub. I genuinely shared your excitement here. Great Video, keep it up. P.S I'm so jealous!
