Recommendation: meh 4.2 / 5 from 30 reviews

My grandson Russy loves lego Lord of the Rings ! It is an older product and impossible to find most of the line in the stores. Amazon and the company that had the toy came through exactly on time and he loves it and plays everyday with the Lord of the Rings Legos. Thanks for making me a super surprise grandma !!

Recommendation: meh 25.2 / 30 by dj2005

I recommend grabbing at least one copy of this set for any Lord of the Rings fan or even any Castle/Medieval fan. The minifigure fits in with many sets and scenes, as do the pieces. Plus, the hood and minifigure's torso are currently only found in one other set.

Recommendation: no 3.5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The Mirkwood Elf Guard polybag is a very nice, little set. While the tree is pretty small, it could fit well with the Escape From Mirkwood Spiders (79001) set. The minifigure is a definitely a great addition to your collection. The only problem is finding the polybag in stores.

It's one of the better polybags to have been released recently, for two reasons. Firstly, the minifig is excellent. It's generic which means you can never have enough of them, and it features a piece in a new colour: the dark green cloak hood. It would have been better had it come with a dark green cloak as well, but I guess that would have increased the price too much for a polybag. Secondly, the parts that make up the tree are all good and useful. Polybags with vehicles in them are all wheels, axles and tyres and not much else, but this one is full of useful slopes, arches, a plant limb and a mushroom top.
