Good thing that her minifigure is really awesome. Why mythical? Because she doesn’t exist in Tolkien’s books and is a figment of Peter Jackson’s imagination! Seriously, she was just shoehorned into the film (along with that prat Orlando Bloom) because according to moviegoers: More Elves = Better Movies. We begin with the mythical Elvish character, Tauriel. From left to right you have Tauriel, Bard the Bowman, Bain, son of Bard and two Hunter Orcs, one brandishing a Orcish scimitar and the other, a bow and arrow. It shouldn’t surprise you, but the Lord of the Rings sets have traditionally been more about shrinking down some of the most beloved Tolkien characters into minifigures – a trend that Attack on Lake-town keeps alive. Here’s the lineup of minifigures included in the set. Maybe it was because of my exceedingly low expectations going into this set, I actually discovered that I couldn’t really bring myself to hate this set, and maybe kind of like it a little! Let’s get into the minifigures. LEGO sets should ONLY come in rectangle boxes. I’m not usually a stickler for prices, but this seemed a little high for me.Īttack on Lake-town also comes in a square box, which for some strange reason bothers me. It didn’t help that the set was pretty pricey here in Australia ($59.99!), double what it costs in the US. In fact, I was pretty much prepared to hate the set since it looked a little boring to me. Price: AU$59.99 ( AUS link) ( Big W online store link)Īttack on Lake-town was a bit of a pleasant surprise, mostly because I didn’t expect too much from it. I feel that the scores will help communicate my thoughts about the set in a more succinct manner. Please excuse me if the pictures are a little weird! I should get better at this soon!Īlso, since this is a new year, all reviews from here on will include a 5-point scoring system. I’m not sure if I’m 100% satisfied with it right now, but I’m trying to get a feel of using a DSLR and learning what settings work best. I recently got a new camera over Christmas and I’ve been experimenting with it. Oh, in case the pictures come out funny, there’s a really good explanation. Resuming the reviews of the Hobbit sets, today we’re going to take a look at the second smallest set from the Battle of the Five Armies – Attack on Lake-town! In case you missed it, check out my review of 79015 Witch-king Battle. Hello and welcome to the first review of 2015! I’m still having a hard time training myself to type out 2015 instead of 2014 – it’ll probably take a few weeks for me to get used to the fact that we’re in 2015.
