The battle for Middle Earth rages on in the LEGO Battle of Helm's Deep fortress set. Help Aragorn, King Théoden, Gimli, and Haldir repel the Uruk-hai army by stationing your men atop the outer fortress wall, deploying your catapult, and climbing the tower to blow The Horn of Helm Hammerhand. At 20 inches wide, this formidable set features an opening main gate, a hidden door, an exploding wall, and eight mini-figures that allow kids ages 10 and up to recreate the signature battle from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

Fortress Features Outer Wall and Modular Construction

The Helm's Deep fortress set features a 6-inch-high outer wall, a 9-inch tower with horn, and an inner throne room. When the three pieces are connected together, this set measures 20 inches wide. To faithfully recreate the famous battle, the fortress boasts an opening main gate, side-door attack function, catapult, and exploding wall. But beware, as there is also a siege ladder and bomb that the relentless Uruk-hai warriors can use to breach the wall's defenses.

For more versatile play, the modular construction of the components allows the fortress sections to be rearranged to your liking. The included sticker sheet enhances the fortress details.

Mini-Figures Let You Pit Good Against Evil

Eight LEGO mini-figures are included with the Helm's Deep set, including Aragorn, King Théoden, Gimli, Haldir, Berserker Uruk-hai, and three Uruk-hai warriors. Each detailed figure can be equipped with a wide range of included accessories, such as swords, single- and double-bladed axes, bows, shields, torches, and spears. A horse figure with a movable head and back legs takes King Théoden into battle.

Assembling Helm's Deep

Building such an impressive fortress of 1,368 pieces took our testers approximately four hours to complete. Four colorful instruction booklets have large pictures to offer sufficient guidance.

Once assembled, Helm's Deep offers several detailed play areas. Its broad size makes it an ideal play set to reenact battles. Our testers appreciated the fine attention to detail, including flags, torches, and goblets, as well as the moving set pieces, such as the gate, catapult, and collapsible wall.

If you decide to buy this set, make sure you have a large area to put it. It takes up approximate shelf space of 20 inches across by 15 inches deep. The tower in this set is about 10.5 inches tall. While this set is modular and sections can be removed, you won't want to display anything but the entirety of it all! :)

PACKAGING:
This set is so big it requires FOUR instruction manuals. The instruction manuals are sealed to a sheet of cardboard, meaning no paperweights are required. This set also contains NINE bags of LEGO bricks. The bags are numbered 1-9, you only need to open one at a time to construct the set.
The minifigures are spread throughout the bags, so this set goes together rather quickly. Bags 1 and 2 construct the entrance, bag 3 constructs the stairs and the left rounded corner, bag 4 the right rounded corner. Bags 5 and 6 construct the tower, Bag 7 constructs the wall, Bags 8 and 9 construct the throne room.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting new fortress design that should satisfy both LotR fans and LEGO collectors, May 21, 2012

This review is from: LEGO The Lord of the Rings 9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep (Toy)
9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep is a 1368 piece LEGO set initially released in May of 2012 with a LEGO store price of $129.99. It is part of the first wave of LEGO sets featuring Lord of the Rings. This set allows you to build Helm's Deep, a pivotal location in the LotR volume/movie The Two Towers. The set also includes 8 minifigures (Aragorn, Gimli, King Theoden, Haldir, a berserker Uruk-hai, and three additional Uruk-hai), a horse, ladder, and various accessories (weapons, armor, etc..). If you looked at the box and thought, "Isn't Legolas the Elf in this set?" The technical answer is, "No, that is Haldir.. but the figures are so similar, most people won't be able to tell them apart." Legolas is in set 9473 the Mines of Moria - take a look at the box art of both and see if you can tell the difference between the elfs beyond outfits).

Lord of the Rings fans will love this set. It is pricey, but it is also a very nice rendition of Helm's Deep. The Horn of Helm Hammerhand has... Read more

This review is from: LEGO The Lord of the Rings 9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep (Toy)
When I first saw this set I couldn't tell how good it would be. After much thought I decided to go with this set to start my LOTR Lego collection, and it has turned out to be my best Lego purchase ever! The detail on the fort and minifigures are amazing. There is a blowapart wall where the Urik-hi breach the defenses, plus a couple of other awesome features. The choice of minifigures was great. I would have liked to have a couple more Urik-hi, and maybe another elf, but besides that you couldn't have asked for a better lineup of figures. The new horse is also awesome (its legs actually move so that you can make it rear). Before I say anymore here are some pros and cons.
Pros.
Great design.
Movie accurate.
Has great play potential(you can add on Urik-hi army to this set)
Cons.
Berserker doesn't have a helmet like in the movie(it is painted on his head).
The keep (which you can't see in the pictures) doesn't have a door like in the movie... Read more
