REVIEW: LEGO 10237 – THE TOWER OF ORTHANC – Jaysbrickblog

It took me awhile to write this review, largely because of how long it took to build this monstrosity. The Tower of Orthanc is the crown jewel of the Lego’s The Lord of The Rings sets. Towering above the rest at 2359 pieces, I knew I had to get my grubby hands on this set as soon as it was announced. This is the closest Lego Lord of the Rings fans will probably come to a UCS-scale set set in JRR Tolkien’s fantastical universe of Orcs, Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits.

I’ll preface this review by revealing that this is the biggest Lego set I have ever owned and built. Upon opening the box, I was treated to a whopping 15 bags of Lego parts, all neatly numbered. Numbered Lego parts bags have been a revelation to fans as they’ve made the building process so much more streamlines and methodical. With Orthanc, I got a little confused at times because there were a few bags that had the same numbers….. Read more here

Review: 10237 Tower of Orthanc, part 1 – Brickset

Lord of the Rings is rich with iconic characters and locations, few more so than the imposing Tower of Orthanc. Therefore, with the revelation of LEGO Lord of the Rings, it seemed inevitable that this setting would eventually make it into a set in some form or another. Few could have imagined that this set is what LEGO would produce.

10237 Tower of Orthanc is quite simply the best Lord of the Rings set around in my opinion. The detail and playability of the model could hardly be bettered and for display, I can think of only a few sets which improve upon this one... Read more here

Here’s What An Amazon Reviewer Had to Say About Lego Lord of the Rings Tower of Orthanc Building Set

A. Purves TOP 100 REVIEWER

…Definitive LEGO Lord of the Rings Set….

If you are a Lord of the Rings fan and a LEGO fan, this is the definitive set to get. I am an adult fan of LEGO (AFOL) with quite a collection, and I always rate this set in my Top 5.

PROS

• The set is tall, stable and eye catching. Although the tower can look ‘stocky’ in some of the product photos, in person the set looks nicely proportioned and very tall (if you place Gandalf at the top of the tower and Saruman on the ledge, the size and scale of the set becomes more obvious). Also, the set balances on its base really well. I haven’t ever worried about the tower accidentally falling over from being bumped or knocked.
• The set just looks ‘right’. The LEGO Tower of Orthanc looks almost exactly like the tower (except for the height) – the pieces used and the construction techniques look spot on – and the spires at the top of the tower are perfect.
• The set is heaps of fun to build. Although the Tower of Orthanc is mostly all black pieces, it is actually a really fun build with heaps of interesting building techniques.
• The set takes up less room to display than most LEGO sets. I live in a house with very little space to display my LEGO. Because this tower is vertical with a reasonably small base, I can display it in places where most other Lord of the Rings sets would be too big or wide (like Helm’s Deep).
• The addition of a tree Ent and an Eagle is a nice touch. The tree Ent is a good size in comparison to the tower (possibly a little tall).

CONS

• As others have mentioned, for this price it would have been nice to receive more mini figures (such as Merry and Pippen, or more orcs and uruk-hai).

NOTES – It’s hard to say whether this set would be good for kids. It does have a few play features on the back, and you could re-enact several scenes from the Lord of the Rings movies with just this one set… but at this price I think kids especially would have more fun with playing with several smaller, cheaper sets. My recommendation – this is a 5-star set. If you are a LEGO fan and a Lord of the Rings fan, buy this set! You will not be disappointed. 🙂
