They really need to start making expansion packs or accessory packs a thing. Not just to make sets bigger but to make other sets cheaper and smaller. Like make the Land Rover set cheaper and have the accessories sold separately. Sell the red Fender guitar and sell the black pieces separately. That way people can choose what they want and not feel like they have to waste money on crap they don't need that's been added just to bump up the price
@@joevictor53 I fully agree, so many seat are bloated and therefore expensive. I mean, recently we got that Harry Potter ship and carriage set, which not only feels quite expensive, but by combining the two they obviously had to cut some corners on both parts. Like with just 2 minifigs for each, instead of a full crew. Also, last week they presented that insanely overpriced Zelda set, a so-called 2-in 1, but I bet with either build you'll end up with a huge pile of leftover pieces. It just doesn't make sense.... ....from a consumer perspective. I bet it totally does from a business POV, that this is what's making them the most money. And in the end, that's the only thing they care about. Unfortunately.
Realistically it probably wouldn’t be that hard to come up with the pieces from a personal Lego collection to reproduce that middle segment, so I’d recommend just doing that if possible for you. I don’t have an extra $460 to get a second 😂
I could not imagine spending an extra $500-$1000 to rebuy the same set and only use SOME of the parts. It would take forever to sell off the extra pieces too.
Idk if you figured it out yet or not, but Marcus is Lionel from Loiter Squad😂 Damn, I’m planning to get around to Sons of Anarchy soon and haven’t even heard of Mayans MC. That was a SCATHING review😂😂😂
yeah why they dont sell an tower only pack for 100 bucks, i would buy it 3 times to make it insane big. But buying 3 copies, and selling the parts on bricklink, is way to much and complex.
It's so dumb that they don't do add on packs for sets. Not just to make things bigger but also to make other sets more affordable. Like Icons sets where they give you 3 options to build but you can only have one built at any time. Just make the other 2 add on packs and people can choose to buy them
Oh yeah, I just have a couple of thousand bucks lying around 😅 Ahh, Lego, you silly Super rich cheap skate who has no idea what kind of prices are actually realistic 😅
Because almost no one can afford that! Clearly the creator of this video has no concept on financial reality. Once the set comes out the expansion towers will be on rebrickable and be way cheaper that $460
I was bummed to see the silly features this set has that doesn’t match the vibe at all, and the fact you have to buy multiple in order to have the correct scale… pretty bad for a $500 set
Well… an “accurate” one would be the price of a UCS Falcon and of course Lego might try to add silly features because they’re Lego of course. But what silly features are in this set?
The skinny tower doesn't look right. Looks more like a 40 playset on the top not a collectors set. Give it a castle foundation not haphazard rocks with mismatched slope pieces on the side. Not to mention the watered down golum this used to be one of Legos best themes.

Now if they would sell expansion packs for just that part of the tower......that's what I would consider "modular".
And battle packs of orcs, elves, rohirim, and gondorian soldiers….maybe some Uruk-hai too! 😂
...but they wouldn't fit in without the great stickers that have to be applied from the inside.

Ah yes... you just need $1500 USD...
Far less. You could just get all the pieces for the extra tower bits separate. No need to have all that base laying around for no reason.
At least you would have three fell beasts xD
Doesn't look very Barad-Durable...
😂
The height on that thing!😮
So you only need to buy two to make it look less vertically challenged

I really thought the title meant you could add expansion packs like DLC and add to the tower, like Mordor, or an Orc camp and a black gate set.
It has an open back design and stickers…

This reminds me of the fairground haunted house guys stacking the tower until the drop ride stopped working

Bro, you'd better review this

Helloooo? Anyone? The extended tower looks incredibly stupid and tasteless! Looks like a stick.
You need to buy 10
I’m getting real bored of Legos ‘hey I know we’re expensive but buy two’ schtick.
not wide enough doesn't count
Wish they made the base larger too
honestly probably only need two not three
or lego can offer the pieces as an accessory instead of forcing you t buy a whole new set
You don’t need to buy three, just buy the official expansion if it becomes a product or individual bricks online
And cat it will take down faster Then it come down in movie
Oh yeah, I just have a couple of thousand bucks lying around 😅
Ahh, Lego, you silly Super rich cheap skate who has no idea what kind of prices are actually realistic 😅
for $500 I expected something nicer
To each their own I guess but Barad-dûr is basically just a big black tower so It’s not that surprising
Is this a joke? Are they moking the poor plebs that can't afford this?
Because almost no one can afford that! Clearly the creator of this video has no concept on financial reality. Once the set comes out the expansion towers will be on rebrickable and be way cheaper that $460
The whales will buy them
Lego being greedy as usual
Honestly, I'm not a fan of LOTR, but I'm still disappointed by this set, even the Disney castle has better interior....
It’s like selling a car, but not wheels, you have to buy expansion to get the wheels
Nah, bro that's mean! Car comes with one wheel attached, but you can buy 3 more, if you like to.
It looks ugly
I mean it's Barad-dûr and Barad-dûr is basically just a big black tower so It’s not much else they could have done

I didn't see any silly features and there's no need to buy more than one
What if you can’t afford 😂
Also first
Pin?
you don’t buy
1400€ for this open-back doll house ? are you serious ? Completely out of this world you people here.
Terrible set, I can't believe people are jizzing their pants over this corporate pisstake
