This is probably the same size or bigger than the one we'll be getting from TLG..... Or TLG could make UCS size Minis Tirith.

OHMYGERD...

 

yes.

Check this out.

lol, whoever submitted this probably saved TLG like 300 hours of expensive designer labor to engineer the next "UCS" for the LOTR line... 

I think that LEGO would be better served with UCS of Smaug, Minas Tirith and the Tower of Bara-Dur (the Eye of Sauron's tower).....I know I'd blow a thousand dollars for those three. 

Is Orthanc labeled "UCS"?  I really wish TLC would come out with an exclusive line of large, collectible LOTR sets similar to Star Wars UCS.  They could even call it something different if they want to keep UCS branded to SW only (I know there's a UCS Batmobile but it's the exception).

Lol right? We will just sit back while you make us billions...

Love these sets. If TLG is smart, Orthanc is only the beginning and Ill be blowing thousands of dollars on these big tickets LOTR models. :-)

Who has time to come up with these? That is awesome.

Do we already have a thread for monstrous MOC's?

This is a diff topic. I checked other threads before submitting this LOTR one

You misunderstand me. I don't want to merge your thread. I want to make one specifically for MOC's. :)

I'm not sure I like that Minas Tirith.  Just doesn't seem big enough    But I guess I won't be happy with any version unless it has all the levels and is 10k pieces 

I think I read the Rivendell was created by two teenagers. It's freaking amazing. There's a brickshow video of it if anyone's interested.

I agree with Grolim, the Minas Tirith is at a weird scale... Still pretty sweet though. Just the Mocs on this page blow away any Star Wars environment moc I've ever seen. I'd say it's a tie between Rivendell and the UCS AT-AT for best moc ever.

Yup. Apparently two teenagers and a dad, but the dad didn't get too much attention. 

While I like the city, I don't like how out of proportion the trebuchets are.  If we get anything close to this from Lego, if it happens, I will be happy.  The last thing I want is just the Citadel or just some wall.  That would be pathetic.

 

The Rivendell, Amon Hen, and Edoras are amazing.  I would love to see the Edoras as a Lego set.

Saw this MOC awhile ago when it was frontpaged on EB. Good stuf, thanks for bringing it up again. I don't think it's going to make it into production anytime soon even if it does hit 10000. Our best hope is that Lego follows the design and makes its own Minas Tirith.

nah, i didn't misunderstand.  i confused myself. ha

I agree about the proportion issue. While it is definitely an amazing set, it's hard not to notice how tiny that skinny jutting out part is (sorry I can't think of the right word to describe it) compared to the size of that white horse. 

 

Found some more photos of the set, including interiors. I like the scene of Faramir on the funeral pyre. Lego flames always make me laugh. Someone in that scene needs to be holding a fire extinguisher.

 

I need a Lego Balrog. Or did someone already do this?
