Recommendation: meh 42 / 50 by Masked Builder

I think I got my moneys worth out of this set. There's a play feature in every module of it, and you can combine it with set 79011 for a larger battle. The minifigures are absolutely fantastic.

Recommendation: no 4.1 / 5 from 79 reviews

Let's be honest. The main draw to this set is the Figures. But oh man are they not fantastic. Radagast, Azog, the Necromancer. Even a nice statue and a decent Orc. Yet another Gandalf was neither a pro nor a con. He's integral to the scene, I just wish it was possible to see some variety in him. The set itself is a decent build. More than enough to keep one interested. Play features are numerous if at times strange. The finished product is fun if a little bland looking. It captures a courtyard of Dol Guldur nicely. In the end it's still a big grey wall. Better than the Black Gate, nowhere near the class of Helms Deep.
