Very rarely would I ever give any set a five star rating, even if the set was amazing it would have to really impress me to earn such a rating, this one has done just that.

The image is strikingly accurate to how the siege takes place in the film, with scores of Saruman’s Uruk-hai scaling the walls on ladders and supported by siege ballistae on the ground. Start by growing the tree on the right with Sam, then throw the coconuts it drops into the bottles in the carnival game directly behind it. One thing not apparent (and a nice feature) is that the horse WILL balance on a level surface, even with a minifigure riding it.

When a ladder is flung up to the wall, clipping onto the edge with two grey hooks, simply smash them to send the ladder back down.

There are so many unique elements: the moss on the rocks, the angled ramparts, curved walls and stairs, the infamous grate that blows apart, the hidden doorway.

Switch back to Aragorn and Gimli, then climb the rope on the left side of the gate to trigger a cut-scene and the last part of the stage. The wood planks was for the Rohan soldier to throw pebbles or rocks at the Uruk Hai in front of the gate.Take out four of them with the previous methods and use a tall character to pick up Gimli and fling him at the elevated Cracked Lego Tile on the fifth ladder. Acting as both photographer and builder and note-taker, it is difficult to gauge how long this would take an average LEGO vet.
