Hey guys! Welcome to my channel, I am a British Adult Fan of Lego and I have created this KZread channel to share my passion for Lego and Harry Potter! I have been collecting Lego my whole life and hopefully I can share that passion with you through my videos. I hope you enjoy!

the last ones base was epic! Brilliant video man!
I think alot of earley lisenced theme could looked cursed in some ways. Have you seen the first figure of Sabulba? He's just one solid chunk of rubber with no poseabillity and one collor with no uther printing.
Lost a subscriber from this video, bud. Your videos used to be so interesting and not so clickbaity
Ive been waiting years for Lego Lotr to be available on the Xbox store and they havent even finished Lego Hobbit. Oh and the cheek to give us Mines of Moria and Gollum Game. Theres apparently a Lotr online battle game partnering with Amazon so all hope lies with them. Just a fools hope
I think that you could keep over the Batman symbol on Cedric's swimsuit because Robert Patinson played them both.
Cost of living crisis is over, just buy them, build them and display them
This video doesn’t make sense sorry
I disagree
The fact that I owned every single harry potter playset from 2018 and 2019
The broom is made out of smaller brooms. Thats the true solution to perfect aerodynamics!
watch tower of Amon Sul
Collector items more or less
Not cancelled click bait
I absolutely understand many of the things this man is saying, Lego has gotten REALLY Expensive, especially since inflation and the cost of living. There is absolutely no way we can get many of these Lego sets with all the other things we have to worry about...
LOTR battle packs?
LOTR is full of giant buildings and sets. Allow me to list them. -Bag End (with Hobbiton expansions possible) -Bree (town/city) -Weathertop (built to minifig scale) -Rivendell (expansionable) -Moria (Gates with watcher, inside with several expansions) -Lothlorian (giant trees with buildings in them, expansionable) -The Argonath -Edoras -Helm's Deep (original line was small and very disappointing) -Black Gate (original was just ok) -Dunharrow -City of the Dead -Minas Tirith (literally could and should be the largest castle Lego has ever built. Can come in sections) -Minas Morgul -Osgiliath -Barad-dur -Mount Doom -The Grey Havens They will not run out of ideas even if they only focus on giant builds. There are, of course, a lot of smaller sets too. And pretty much all of these (and many smaller ones) are actually available MOCs via the Chinese markets.
Here's the thing.... the first line of LOTR/Hobbit lego failed because of the exact opposite problem. Loads of small sets with small scenes and only one big build (Orthanc). The critics are absolutely right, LOTR is an adult brand for adult collectors. While I can agree there can be some diversity and especially some "multi builds", the target absolutely needs to go big and hard. The last line was full of crappy half-baked pieces that really aren't worth much. Oh, and they need to stop this stupid brick head nonsense.
ur wrong about there not being enough iconic locations. mines of moria , lonely mountain, kazadoom. the other teo elvish relmes. Yes lego should being cheaper sets but there are loads of iconic locations to use
Also Beorn house
I think they will still release more sets
The only thing LEGO was testing is if AFOL's would buy a $500 LOTR set every year. They only invest in full IP themes if there is current media targeted at kids (i.e. new LOTR movies, new theme sets). As is, they are willing to bet that adult fans of these properties will be willing to pick up a set or two out of nostalgia, and they want the masses, not just LEGO collectors/enthusiasts.
What about Harry Potter?
Lego already destroyed Indiana Jones, my favorite theme, so I pray they don't do the same with Lord of the Rings. I won't never forgive them for that.
I really like the 2 smaller sets! The big one doesn't have enough figures for me to buy. And it's a shame they cancelled the tempel of doom 😭
@@l.b.2392 My favorite among the 3 sets is the idol temple. But I would have loved a continuation of the small sets, especially on the Dial of Destiny
@@jojoaprilfish absolutely! We need more smaller sets in general, most of all LoTR! Considering the recent Indi wave, I prefer the chase because: the car built is fantastic! The plain as well (i don't use the stickers but added some green and camouflage parts. It's my fav Indiana Jones Film and one of my alltime fav films in general (not top 10 but might make my top 20). Sean Conneries character is the best. Therefore i consider myself extremely blessed for this set (I also missed out on IJ before) 😃
An awesome moc! Sherbert lemon
If the line was doomed, Lego would have stopped after Rivendell. Lego designers said after Rivendell's release that if we want to see more sets for Lord of the Rings Rivendell would have to sell well. It obviously did because we then got Baradur... Not sure where you're getting your information but it seems the large sets are selling extremely well and I wouldn't be surprised to see another large scaled set released in a year or two.
Great. More unaffordable garbage teasing from Lego.
As long as Legi Harry Potter is still on shelves the Lord of the Rings will most likely not officially return. Both large sets did so well for Lord of the Rings I can guarantee they are working on the next giant set. When Harry Potter ends their run then LOTR will likely return.
Outside of SW, there's never been a Lego theme more ripe with Army Building potential. It's kind of shocking they haven't done it already. Gondorian soldiers, Rohirrim, Uruk Hai, Mordor Orcs, Easterlings, Haradrim, Army of the Dead, Prologue Elves, the list goes on. And there's multiple different kinds too. Now, here's where I disagree. I'm fine with LOTR getting more expensive sets more often because I think LOTR is, simply put, more grandiose to begin with. The only way to do things like that properly is $500. I'd much rather have, say, a Lothlorien, Mina's Morgul, or Edoras be properly done at $500 than a half-assed one at $100. But here's where I do agree: There's plenty of smaller options that could be done justice in a main line range. The Prancing Pony, Amon Hen's Seeing Seat, Catapults, Ballista's, Siege Towers, the Forbidden Pool, Oliphaunt, Ents, Balrog, etc. There's options for $150 and below sets. And yes, absolutely also options for diorama sets. My mind immediately also went to the Nazgul tree scene too, but I also immediately though of the Door of Moria, the interior of Mt. Doom for the destruction of the ring, the Bridge of Kazad Dum w/ Gandalf and the Balrog, mini scale Mina's Tirith and Argonath, etc.
You are right it’s a terrible way to market an audience and Brock heads are ugly. They need to get on the ball with affordable sets army packs and iconic sets like Amon hen the prancing pony and lothorien. I hear next year they will make a minis tirith as that was teased for next year. We’ll see I hope they don’t screw it up and make it a regular theme. They really need to do better with price and what they are picking and pricing not every fan is rich.
That gollum looks so hilarious
My large Lego purchases need to be saved for HP so LOTR is a pass for me. Rivendell is a great looking set but I also have nowhere to put it. Barad Dur is a hard pass even if it was cheaper. I would consider buying a cheaper diorama in the theme as that could easily be displayed on the bookshelf with the LOTR books. Glad to see you back doing more consistent content! Still one of my top fav Lego youtubers!!
Meh. This is why I mostly buy off brand Lego now😂
Clickbait.
True
Amazon exclusive? It can also be bought from all the LEGO stores. I think they are purposely doing large sets first so the hardcore fans are forced to buy it as it is their only option. A Modular Minas Tirith would be pretty epic.
I watched your video and still don’t understand your thumbnail. Having high selling, high priced themed sets doesn’t equate “canceled” or to your point at least for many years from now after all big names locations have been hit, but not all themes do continue like Star Wars (and I don’t think all should). I am actually sick of how many times HP redoes things that didn’t need to be redone. We may even see War for the Rohirrim sets upon that release when the movie comes out, but time will tell!
The lord of the rings sets appeal to non LOTR fans of lego (especially castle fans) - love both sets, will do my best to get them, even if they are not a priority for me. But there are better chances I would get smaller sets that have something I like or have pieces I need (like wargs, orcs, nice armor and weapons, so on). I fully support the modular sets part. The only reason I touched the harry potter sets as an adult LEGO collector (outside of getting a few sets here and there for a fantastic creature like bugbeak) is because I LOVED the idea of buying small play set you can play around with and then combining it with others to make a huge castle.
100% agree! Modular small sets to put together and battle packs for LOTR would be outstanding!
What! I don’t really want to buy it, because I’m not a fan. I almost wanted some of them, because they looked cool. Well, if you’re talking about price, have people buy it step by step.
prolly right but i hope your wrong for the same reason
Get your money up
I'd be interested to know how you came to the conclusion that the sets perform poorly on the market. The opposite is true; both big LotR sets were partially out of stock upon release. Additionally, with timely ordering and selling the GWP and minifigures, it was possible to recoup the full purchase price and by another one! Of course, the sets are far too expensive, but LEGO is doing excellently with this strategy (see Star Wars UCS) and will not change it. Many people are not aware that LEGO now appeals to an international audience, and as someone who spends a third of the year in the UAE, I can assure you that hardly anyone there cares whether a set costs $500 or $800.
The quality of this video would let me think that this is a channel with at least 50K subscribers. Incredible mate!
Bought them both on release day, Lego should be happy with the sales performance as at one point it was a month back order
I'm still waiting for more afordable LotR sets...
I disagree, because LOTR is not actually back as a theme, mostly just a couple very expensive sets that release each year under the Icons theme. I do not think we will get an actual LOTR theme with play sets.
Great Video! I would definitely love to get smaller LEGO LOTR Sets, especially because I cannot afford the two D2Cs currently available!
@9:10 thats Minas Morgul ( or minas Ithil), not minas tirith..
rent for as low as $500? Where?
Is that a week or a month?
100% agree, the fact that rivendell and baru dur sold so well even at their price should tell them the market can sustain a full theme. I'd buy some sub £100 sets but I'm not such a big fan that I'll ever drop £400 on a set. I think LOTR would be a great addition to the roster of themes especially if they don't go nuts. A few sets a year could easily keep fans happy and buildings would be great for castle fans. I assume they don't want to conflict with their medieval theme and harry potter being their current fantasy offering but I honestly don't think they would see a decrease in interest or conflict.
Lego LOTR roughly falls into the Fantasy/Castle theme, and sadly thats something that Lego pretty much exlusively makes several hundred dollar sets for, think Castle, DnD, Lord of the Rings. The cheapest Set they made in the last 10 years that fits into this general theme is the 3 in 1 castle and thats still a hundred dollars. Im convinced they are fully aware of how badly fans want this stuff back and purposefully only do these uber expesive stuff. The more likely thing they tested is if they can do more of these big sets, and i think its more likely we will see another big one like minas tirith next year instead of a playscale wave. Besides, if they really think they need to test if a Lord of the Rings theme would sell like they claim they are so out of touch with their community that all hope is lost anyways :D I mean LotR is one of the most beloved franchises ever, the aftermarket prices of the old sets and especially the minifigs are absolutely ludicrous and people have been very vocal about wanting LotR, or more generally Castle and Fantasy stuff back for the last decade. Ofcourse a Lotr theme revival would sell like crazy.they thing
Cant really be "Doomed" if it was never really "Alive" to begin with.
I would have much preferred if the Rivendell set had been a microscale set of the full Rivendell and not just a small portion, with a price around $160 similar to the recent micro Hogwarts
