I AM TOTALLY BUYING THIS SET!!!!!  :D

I AM TOTALLY BUYING THIS SET!!!!!  :D

 

Why do you do ('this' :D ) for every post?  :huh:

:D :D What you going to do about it?

This will be a set I definitely pick up to build but I'll be waiting for a discount. Can't wait for it to come out so members can post some cool pictures with the Orc forge next to it!

Investment winner or total flop(which I highly doubt) I'm still buying at least two of these because lord of the rings is awesome and lord of the rings in lego form is pure awesomeness. If I could only buy one lego theme it would be lord of the rings.

Well said and I feel the same. The monsters are a close second for me.

It's available to VIPs on June 14th I believe.

It's actually going to be the 17th of June for VIP's. If anyone's looking for an excuse to use their 10% catalog coupon, this would be a good one.

gw-

It's too spooky :devil:

Don't worry, you can hide in Olivia's House :)

That was funny.

My local Lego store said they already had them out the back. But they were not allowed to sell them until....er.... a date that I have forgotten :) But twill be soon!! :D

That's what I plan to use my coupon for.

 

On a side note, I find it funny only VIPs can buy it early, since there's really nothing to the VIP program.  Maybe if they made it available only for Brickmaster subscribers, or something you pay for, maybe I would feel more special buying it early.  :)

Does anyone have this set yet? What is the boxed weight?

What is the boxed weight?

Enough to give ya a hernia and visit to the doctor.

Just ordered my Tower of Orthanc, can't wait for it to get here. Lego is also throwing in a poster that I think is pretty cool and I will be proudly displaying in my lego room.  :thumbsup:  

My WIP - picked it up yesterday, quite a nice looking set! - bought a second as well to hold on to.

 

 

Why companion?

Its an individual set that if must be companioned with something it is The Orc Forge and nothing else so far.

Uruk-hai army is companion set for Helm's Deep.....

Agreed.

 

Orc Forge is more appropriate and relevant as a companion piece to the Tower of Orthanc.

I saw this awhile ago, might have been from somebody posting it on here but still you can't buy it until july! :(

VIP's get first crack at it until July 1st, then it's up for all to buy.

I have been trying to tell myself to stay disciplined and wait for a sale, but I think I may breakdown and go with my initial impulse to buy one straight away at retail price.  :pinch:

I completely understand... I will be getting it the first week of July just because I got the 10% coupon, but otherwise I would wait. Holidays are around the corner and I get the feeling it will be discounted well before december.

This is where you need VIP points.

Then the deliema, Open or Flip?

Open for sure.  I collect LOTR sets personally.  I will probably buy a few as investments as well but not till they are closer to EOL and on sale.

 

VIP points are almost worthless to me as well, as I almost never buy from S@H due to their crazy regional pricing.  I'll look to get one off Ebay probably, pay a little more, but less than S@H would charge. 

I have wondered if you can order fromS@**** in other regions. 853373 is EOL in the UK, but not in the USA. So can I order it from there?

Not easily.  I used to use a couple of freight forwarding companies that gave you a US address to send the stuff to that then shipped them international for you.  But Lego recently stopped orders from being sent to them, a few other retailers have started doing that as well  :(

They also seem to check that the billing address attached to the credit card for payment is not overseas based.

 

If someone else knows a work around for it I'd love to know as well.

They really have cracked down on it. Now it is simply best to get someone else to buy it for you and ship it all the way down here.

I'm not sure if I want to use the 10% coupon on this, or just get an investment set thats closer to retirement, and get this later like during double VIP points month or something. As much as I want to build it, I think its time to put the brakes on personal sets. I just bought Alien Conquest sets for myself and now a used Slave 1 and ISD for me and my kid to build.
