Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Dol Guldur Ambush has been only slightly overperforming the average yearly growth of many sets The Hobbit sets, with an average annual growth rate of 17%, this set is strong investment for many LEGO collectors.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
The Brothers Brick
“Ultimately, however, this is a really excellent set. The minifigs are not worth bothering with, but the bricks make the set more than worth-while. The wall, while not particularly exciting, is very nicely done, and it even connects up to the bigger 79014 Dol Guldur Battle... More set to make a bigger playset.”

“This set was a the only way to get the exclusive minifigure of Beorn. It connects to the larger set Dol Guldur Battle 79014, to make one larger fortress of Dol Guldur. This set also has 2 nice throw in Gundabad Orcs which are a nice enemy for Beorn to fight. There is a lot... More of playability in this set with the catapult and the traps that are hidden inside the crumbling wall.”
