LEGO The Hobbit - Dol Guldur Ambush - 79011

Awesome

Son was thrilled to receive this set and had a blast putting it together, he loved that it came with so many minifigures and although he took it apart fairly quickly, he has used these pieces for many other personal creations since. If you have a 'creative' builder who likes to create his own masterpieces, this has a lot of good pieces that could be used for many different building projects!

So happy to have found this game. It was delivered quickly and in excellent condition! These movies are a family favourite and the Lego brings back such fond memories. THank you

We purchased this Lego set as a Christmas gift for my 12 year old nephew, who seemingly has everything. However, there is one thing you can never have too many of and that is LEGOS! Let's face it, most toys these days are made out of cheap, thin, brittle plastic, and they are so expensive, such a bad value! At the risk of sounding trite, they don't make 'em like they used to! However, Lego is an exception to that rule. Thank you Lego, for maintaining the same standards of quality and fitment for so many years. It doesn't matter if you have this set or another from 1958, they will still fit together! Yes, Lego's are expensive, but few toys will last as long or give the child as many hours of engineering prowess, spacial skills building, and entertainment than these building blocks. There are a few things I miss from my childhood, one of those is digging through the giant container of Lego's looking for that ONE piece I need to finish my build, making up names for them as I paw at the pile.

This is a great set. I’ve been a huge Lego fan for five years, and I love Tolkien’s Middle-Earth. So the Lego Hobbit sets we’re one of LEGO’s best ideas. This set is okay on its own. But I would suggest getting set 79014 Dol Guldor Battle first, this set is mainly adding more to the fortress in that set. And giving it more orcs. The two Gundabad orcs are probably my favorite part of the set. They come with long black hair with ears attached to it. Which I like better than the bald Gundabad breed orcs in other sets. The Beorn figure is an odd addition to the set, on account of the fact he never actually enters Dol Guldor in the movies. One big surprise with this minifigure is that his head and hair are one piece, I assumed they would come as two separate pieces, but they’re really one mold. There’s nothing I dislike about it, just thought I’d note that. The swinging axes and battering ram trap is a cool play function, you turn the knobs on the back to swing them out. You can also open the hinged side which has a flick missile in it. Flick missiles don’t shoot well all the time, but they’re still fun to play with. So in summary, good set, goes best with set 79014.
