“The colour scheme is appropriate and the reddish brown parts are a nice touch. The spikes give the set an appropriately menacing look and the door-(un)locking feature is nicely done I think. The fact that it can be expanded makes multiple purchases quite appealing, even... More though it's not much of an army builder (unless you want your Orc army to consist of clones). Nonetheless a great looking set with awesome minifigures and a nice variety of parts.”

“When it hits any sale, it's worth the money. The eagle is great, other minifigs are good, and eventually you'll need one of those black slopes.”

The Brothers Brick
“Despite the high piece count, the final model feels small for the price. The problem here is not one of LEGO's making; they did an admirable job considering the source material. But when your source is a giant gate, there's only so much you can do.”
