“I think it's a cool set – the three minifigures are good, the build is nice (and good for scaring little kids), playability is neat because you can act out the Shelob scene, and price is good as the spider is appropriately sized in relation to the price. Just all-around... More good.”

“Shelob is a really fun build (save for the repetitive legs) and is even more enjoyable to play and pose with. The minifigs are great AND you get Gollum. I have to recommend this set to anyone, even if you're not intending to complete the Fellowship just to get Sting, Gollum,... More three One Rings AND an exceptionally designed spider. My only minor complain is that Shelob's eyes fall off pretty easily and it has happened quite often when playing with the set. Other than that, I can't find any fault with this set.”
