8000 piece Lego Minas Tirith

It looks lovely from a distance, but there’s a problem with the scale on this set, so it doesn’t appeal to me at all.
That’s great news for me, given the price...

Comes with a free GWP (Gift With Purchase), Grond. GWP are limited in numbers so First come first served, they sometimes become very collectable.

The price is almost the same as the recent limited signed deluxe edition of LotR.

It is impressive but I'm underwhelmed,even with Grond included,despite all it has going for it. I mentioned before "Will I be able to resist the calling of this one? Well not if it equals Rivendell,or whisper it,surpasses".....well in my subjective opinion it doesn't measure up in comparison aesthetically. I'm not a fan of the mixed micro/macro scale perspective detail,as was the case with Barad-Dur, and for Minas Tirith it is too small. It is too influenced by Jackson's films for my personal tastes as I'd rather have something made by the company who had a major role in these films,Weta, yet I do perfectly understand the commercial pressures of the LOTR brand calling from afar and yes, Lego's Rivendell is heavily influenced by Jackson! Again this is my subjectivity and I do not wish to dampen any excitement. If it helps,I came close to purchasing but my line in the sand was equalling or exceeding Rivendell. Plus I now have to be selective due to space considerations. Something better is coming from lego and it might be a long wait but I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, I smell it in the air.
