The power of Isengard is at your command
" This is the best set I have ever built and played with. Definitely worth £170. Overall this set took me about 8-9 hours to build. Now onto the awesome minifigures.
Saruman: I love this minfigure. He is so detailed and his beard is amazing. His face is double sided for normal and angry expressions. Saruman also carries a neat staff and has a kirtle outfit as well as normal minifigure legs.
Grima Wormtongue: My favourite figure in the set. He is exclusive and has a new head and torso. His head has sad and angry expressions and he carries a dagger with him. He also has a black cape and the same hairpiece as Snape.
Gandalf the Grey: Awesome. Gandalf comes without his hat this time and also has a double sided face with happy and angry expressions. He also has the same beard, torso, cape and legs but is still an awesome and valuable figure in the set. His staff could have had a diamond but no matter.
Uruk-hai: Finally. Another Uruk with the white hand of Saruman! The Uruk-hai has a white hand on his face and the other side doesn't. He also comes with his armour piece, sword and shield with a white hand on it too.
Orc Pitmaster: Another regular Orc and he unfortunately comes without the hairpiece but is still cool. He has a long axe and a tow cable weapon to wrap around Treebeard.
Great Eagle: Now we also have the Great Eagle-Gwaihir who I think is epic and I think that Lego did a great job on this guy and I love the posable wings which increase the play factor.
Treebeard: This guy is awesome. I think that he is the perfect size and very detailed. His eyes and "beard" are really cool and his play features are that he can pick up minifigures and you can swing his arm to smash.
Now onto the tower itself
Dungeon: This is the first floor of orthanc and it has skulls, bones, a chain and a rat. The stickers in the background show numerous eyes behind bars, four wargs and a separate cell.
Entrance Hall: This is the second floor and it features two halberds, two banners with the white hand, a microfigure statue atop a table, opening doors and a trapdoor which which when activated drops the minifigure into the dungeon. Also included on the ceiling is a chandelier.
Saruman's Throne Room: This is the third floor and has two bookshelves with books and potion bottles. There are also two lamps and Saruman's throne which are the same as those included in the Wizard Battle. A balcony also juts out of the throne room above the stairs to the doors. The main feature in the room is the new Palantir brick and when the chandelier is pushed up, the Palantir lights up like in the movie.
Alchemy Room: This is the fourth floor. Inside is a bomb for the Battle of Helm's Deep, A cauldron with silver bricks inside which can be tipped over when a cog is turned. The room also has various accessories which are: a bottle, gunpowder keg, pot, unlit torches, a skull, a purple potion and a blue potion.
Library: The fifth floor of Orthanc. It has two maps and two books with one featuring the Eye of Sauron. There are also pictures of the five Istari- At the centre and top is Saruman the White, Gandalf the Grey, Radagast the Brown, Morinehatr the Blue and Romestamo the Blue. Also included are two torches and two skulls.
Attic: The final floor of Orthanc and it has the keys of the Two Towers: Orthanc and Barad-dur. There are also the staffs of the three missing wizards: Radagast, Morinehatr and Romestamo. Other items are a picture of Barad-dur, Uruk-hai weapons and helmet. The play feature here is the folding staircase to the attic which is put in motion when a piece on the library ceiling is turned releasing the staircase.
Finally there is the Pinnacle of Orthanc which is the top of the tower where Gandalf is held prisoner and where Saruman and Grima Wormtongue both die.
Here is my overview of the set:
Saruman: 10/10
Grima Wormtongue: 10/10
Gandalf the Grey: 10/10
Uruk-hai: 10/10
Orc Pitmaster: 9/10
Pros: Everything.
Cons: There weren't enough Orcs and Uruk-hai. Could have included Merry, Pippin, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, Gandalf the White and another Ent.
Overall this set is EPIC!!! "

At last we have the mighty Chewbacca!
" This is a brilliant set. The minaret watchtower is really good and I personally love the opening door. My favourite feature is the trapdoor to the rancor pit and the movable dais. My favourite figure is the new Jabba and I think that lego did a really great job on him. I also like Jabba's pipe, food bowl and secret stash under his dais.
Here are my minifigure ratings:
Jabba: 10/10
Bib Fortuna: 10/10
Boushh/Princess Leia:10/10
Oola: 10/10
Gamorrean Guard: 10/10
Han Solo in Carbonite: 10/10
B'ommar Monk: 10/10
Salacious B. Crumb: 10/10
Chewbacca: 5/10
I personally think that Chewie should be redesigned.
The only con was that there should have been more of Jabba's entourage e.g. Tessek, J'quille, Rappertunie, Vizam and Rystall Sant. "

This is the last mistake you'll ever make!
" This is a set which is definitely not worth £100 in the UK. That was way too overpriced. The set is also good when combined with the Desert Skiff but otherwise it's not much fun to play with. The pros to the set are the new minifigures and the hidden cannon at the front of the barge.
Here are my figure ratings:
Jabba the Hutt: 10/10
Princess Leia:10/10
Max Rebo:10/10
Ree-Yees:10/10
Weequay:9/10
R2-D2: 8/10
I also like the deck cannon, jail and Max Rebo's instrument
The cons to the set are the price, no skiff or sarlacc, no Tessek, no Luke, Han, Chewie, Boba Fett or even any Gamorrean Guards. In the old Sail Barge (6210) the kitchen was really cool because it had lots of food such as chicken, frogs and snakes etc. and even Jabba's smoking pipe. The new kitchen only has a chicken, fish, pot, pan and a blue ice cream piece. No frogs, snakes or Jabba's pipe. This was very disappointing. "
