The Mines of Moria Reviews
Eurobricks
“This is one of my favorite Lord of the Rings LEGO set. In my opinion, the set is well balanced in the minifigure selection and the size of build. I got most of the member of the Fellowship of the Ring just by buying this set. The only downside is that I always dream of... More MOCing the whole cave but hard to come true.”
Brickset
“This is a well made set containing many useful pieces and a great selection of minifigs. Given that it uniquely contains 1/3rd of the nine members of the Fellowship, including the ever-popular Legolas, it will be an essential purchase.”

“9473 The Mines of Moria captures the particular scene from the Fellowship well, but beyond that, it's usefulness is limited. It's a tiny slice of the mines and one that fails to evoke the grandeur of the film's setpiece.”
