LEGO Lord of the Rings Hobbit The Battle of Helm's Deep (9474)

Product Information

Less than half of the 10,000 Uruk-hai who had survived the main battle had fled into the strange forest, where they were never be seen again, as this was actually the newly arrived Huorns from Fangorn. At night, unseen by the Rohirrim, the Huorns slew all remaining Uruks and buried them in a hill later known as the Death Down. After being freed by Gandalf from Gríma Wormtongue's influence, Théoden rode for the Fords of Isen where Erkenbrand was battling Saruman's Orcs. As Théoden rode west, he met Ceorl, who informed him of Erkenbrand's defeat. Unable to meet Saruman's force head-on with his small force, Gandalf advised him to ride straight to the Hornburg where many of the people of Westfold were taking refuge in the Glittering Caves. A local captain called Gamling the Old led the garrison of about a thousand men. With the arrival of Théoden, the defenders' strength was just under three thousand men, allowing the defences to be fully manned. One theme that always intrigued me, was the LEGO Games. Is it a brilliant idea, or does it have it's flaws? Let's find out. Contents: Introduction The army of Saruman, ultimately consisting of Uruk-hai, Wild Men of Dunland, Orcs, and Half-orcs, was reinforced on the way to Hornburg, due to casualties in the Battles of the Fords of Isen. The army would arrive at the fortress at midnight on March 3.

Overall: Not a great LEGO set in terms of building, but certainly a fun set to play with. This one will stay within grabbing distance during the vacation. Disclaimer: Anything said in this post is the opinion of the author and not The LEGO Group. The video will show you what is required to 100% the level with additional detail below for each part. Each level of the core story requires you to collect the following: After the wall has be destroyed and you’ll down by the large opening, there is a dig spot to the right of the destroyed wall with the treasure in it. All other new prints involve the MicroFigs. This set contains 11 new prints for the 85863, and 4 plain versions in Light Bluish Gray:

The set contains 338 parts and 3 spares, in 19 colors, and 18 part categories, with a total of 88 unique parts/color combinations. At the start of the level, you’ll see an axe point on the wall to the right. Use it for the minikit. The battle slowly turns from here; Aragorn is briefly incapacitated and, the Elves begin to wither, and Haldir himself is slain. The Rohirrim begin to suffer casualties of their own, their already-sparse forces thinning and losing their weakest members, and the Uruk-hai begin to besiege the keep by using a battering ram against the main gate. Théoden is injured in this chaos, and Aragorn offers aid, to which he requests "Time, as much you can get me." To do this, Aragorn and Gimli stealthily circle the fortress to ambush the Uruk-hai on the causeway. Gimli and Aragorn earn time for the Rohirrim to refortify the entrance, but soon the defenses break down as Uruks fully breach the area behind the Deeping Wall, and all remaining Rohirrim retreat to the keep. Once inside where they are trapped, Théoden falls further into despair while his soldiers brace the doors, as Aragorn and Gamling deliberate on sending the women and children further into the caves.

The Box The plain version of 85863 is still being used in sets. Currently there are 26 sets with 6 colors. My collection has more unprinted colors: If you're willing to remove prints (I know, I'm a psychopath), there is a total of 25 monochrome pieces to collect. The easiest way to do this is, is by using nail-polish remover. Warning: Use it diluted. Start with at least a 1:10 dilution with water. Pure nail-polish remover will melt the plastic of the piece. Just before dawn, Aragorn called for a parley at the gate and told the Orcs that they would die if they didn't surrender, but the Uruk-hai laughed at his threat and attempted to shoot Aragorn down, almost killing him. The Orcs then blasted open the gate, destroying the arch with the 'blasting-fire'. Suddenly, Théoden and Aragorn led a powerful cavalry charge out of the keep to the blasts of the great horn of Helm Hammerhand, followed by the defenders of the Hornburg, driving the Uruks away from the remains of the gate. At the same time, Éomer and Gimli with the company in the caves pushed the Orcs out of the Deep. The army of the Mark drove the enemy behind the Dike into the Deeping-coomb. As you’re heading up the stairs as part of the story path, you’ll see a plant grow point on the left. Use this to retrieve the minikit.So, how is the verdict? Firstly the build. There is nothing really special in it. The castle is pretty basic, and the other elements are repetitive. It felt like 'let's get this over with so we can play', what goes against everything a LEGO build should be. So on that front, I'm not recommending this set.

One of the things that got me out of my Dark Ages, was a documentary on LEGO, filmed around the time The LEGO Group was coming out it's Dark Ages itself. One of the things that were shown, was a new line of products, called LEGO Games. The concept seemed to make sense: Appeal to both LEGO fans and board games fans, by letting you build your own board game. Just then, Gandalf on his horse Shadowfax arrived with Erkenbrand and a thousand-foot soldiers. They charged Sauraman's host, trapping them between Erkenbrand's army, Théoden's army, and a newly appeared forest of strange trees. The Dunlendings dropped their weapons and surrendered, while the Uruk-hai fled into the forest.

In the next section, before you throw Gimli over, head down to the bottom of the steps for the minikit. One of the Rohirrim dead was Háma, a captain of Théoden's personal guard and doorward of Meduseld, whose body the Orcs hewed after he died. Nonetheless, the refugees in the Glittering Caves were safe in their entirety, and thus returned to their homes. Gimli had lost his helmet in the battle and was wounded badly on the head, but he had killed forty-two Orcs to Legolas' forty-one. [1]
