The Brick Fan
“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... More 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.”
