Feels odd that you skipped the presence of an eagle and Treebeard from Orthanc, i feel that is super important to both the figures and the play features comparisons

I mean as far as movie scale goes, I for one was disappointed it wasn't actually 4,500 ft tall containing 8.8 billion Lego pieces with 56.8 million bags to work through. Shame..

Love the teaser at the end. I also just ordered my copy of barad dur. I have a question: Would it be really expensive to just buy the pieces to build the exterior of orthanc. None of the figs or special pronts should make it cheaper no?

This is really cool, but Barad-Dur and Orthanc being the eponymous two towers is kinda from the sensalization of the movie. According to a Tolkien letter, the two towers are actually Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul

4:28 Actually, Barad-Dûr in the films stands at 5,000 feet tall. To put Barad-Dûr in scale with the Tower of Orthanc, Barad-Dûr would have to be 8.8x bigger than the official Icons Barad-Dûr set.

The Orthanc Minifigures you have are not accurate. Saruman has a robe and not legs. The Grima torso is not correct. The Uruk-hai should be a white hand. You don’t have Treebeard or the Eagle if you want to compare the full sets. Good first video.

Shame that Orthanc is legit. Palantir is pink rather than the cool green/black swirls. Grima is not himself, Saruman has a cool robe skirt that matches his shirt, Uruk has a white hand on helm and plain coloured chest armour, the orc pictured is a Gundabad Orc from the Hobbit. It also has a nice eagle and one of my favourite characters... Treebeard 😢

THE MINIFIGURES FOR ORTHANC ARE COMPLETELY WRONG!!! (I would know, I have the set.) Saruman comes with a special printed robe piece. Gandalf- yeah gandalf is correct. Grima wormtongue has a different skin colour, and a completely different face and torso print. The orc is COMPLETELY inaccurate, it's supposed to be dark tan and have more spiky armour, not bones??? The Uruk Hai has HELMET PRINTING and a SHIELD, both having the White Hand of Saruman on them! You also didn't include the super cool Eagle and Treebeard, the Ent, included in the set. I'm guessing you didn't want to spend too much money on this, so you just went and bought the tower and kind of puzzled together other minfigures for it. This wouldn't be surprising, as Saruman is 80$ and Grima Wormtongue is 130$. I also find it really funny how you replaced the Palantir because the actual piece is about 90$
