Good day all, from beautiful Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada!

 

I have to admit that I own exactly one Lego set.  Yesterday I bought a Uruk-Hai Army set for my son.  As he is just over three weeks old, suffice to say, we won't share the joys of building that I remember from childhood for quite sometime.  But this leads me to my query.

 

I'd love to spend the coming years building a collection of sets for him to enjoy as he gets older.  LOTR spoke to me as both my spouse and I love the books and movies and I thought he would enjoy the sets as he ages.  Can anyone give me any suggestions on sets to collect?  I, frankly, know little about the hobby but understand that collections sell out quickly and can be difficult to come by.  Any help for the new guy would be appreciated.

 

Best,

Don

I believe Weakside is also a Canadian too.

@rtisan and Solinga (?) is up in Canada too I believe.

I think you meant " 'L' and rhyme with a waffle brand"

The Attack on Weathertop 9472 ended up coming to almost $78 with duty and delivery from amazon.co.uk.  It shows up just as walmart.ca rolls it back to $59.88 (before taxes).

Gosh dude.. 97 bucks for the Mines of Moria? Thats awful...

Yeah - I couldn't bring myself to buy it.

Are you going to open these sets?

Ultimately, I think.

welcome, a lot can be learned here
