“Regardless of any minor gripes I may have, the set is great. I love the tree and how big it turns out to be. The minifigures and Wargs and the main reason to pick this set up. As of right now this is the only set that contains the Wargs and they are awesome.”

The Brick Fan
“Overall, this 400 piece Attack of the Wargs set is worth every penny. The minifigs are exclusive to the set and you get some great looking ones like Thorin and Yazneg. The tree is fairly large with lots of little details. The main attraction and possibly the best part of the... More set are the Warg pieces. Without reading the book or watching the movie, as of this writing, you can kind of see what is happening in the story. I would recommend picking up this medium priced set.”
