“If you want a complete collection of The Hobbit sets or are looking to get Gandalf on the cheap, I would definitely recommend this set. You could also buy a bunch and get some good pieces for castle MOCing. If you're looking for something with play value though, your money... More will be better spent elsewhere.”

The Brick Fan
“There is a torch, a spear, and a green vine that's on the stone wall. There's also a skull with a map next to it and spider to the side. The skull is probably Thrain after he died. The Gandalf minifigure is the same is the one's we've seen before plus a sword.”
