This is a seriously must-own set. For starters, this is a 227 piece set priced at the MSRP $19.99 (amazon.com sells at MSRP, unless you catch it on discount; this is actually a GOOD thing since many retailers, including Toys R Us, mark-up LEGO sets by 5-10%--yes, even in their brick & mortar stores!) If we go by the generally agreed-upon guideline amongst LEGO fans for determining the value of a set (the price per piece inside a given box), this set clocks in at just under $0.09 per piece which is fantastic. $0.10 is the price you look for to know you're getting a good amount of bricks for the money, so we are within bargain territory here--however, do keep in mind that this set is primarily made up of small pieces, which does impact the price.

While price is always a consideration, what's always most important is what you get. Again, you shouldn't be disappointed as this set recreates one of the most iconic moments from the Lord of the Rings trilogy-- Frodo and Sam's... Read more

What a great lego set. Hopefully this video will give you some additional detail on this wonderful set. Priced at around $20 this set is a must have of the group even for those that are not fans of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Some highlights mentioned in the video:

- Great characters of Frodo, Sam and Golum.
- Fantastic job done on the details with the spider.
- The spinneret will hold the spider weight, allowing you to hang the spider. (Creepy)
- The building was fun.
- There are different faces on the legos.

Overall a great $20 gift for any lego or Lord of the Rings lover. If they love both, well... what are you waiting for?

The Shelob Attacks set captures the scene in which Gollum leads Frodo and Sam into her lair in the mountains. Set contains 227 pieces and includes Shelob(the spider) w/retractable webbing, Frodo w/his sword Sting and the light of Eaerendil, Sam w/sword, Gollum figure who hides behind a tiny cave set dwelling, comes with a tasty fish, as well as a launching mechanism for a Gollum attack.
And of course includes a tiny ring, "the ONE ring",(3 came in the box and 2 Sting swords btw). Spider is nicely built and it's legs bend and angle at almost any position of attack or defense. A great set. Nice and sturdy.
