The Battle Of Helm's Deep Reviews
Eurobricks
“This is a great set for The Lord of the Rings fans out there. Its a replica of the actual Helms deep in LEGO. Lots of diorama can be done with this set alone or it can be displayed in a glass cabinet. Packed with so many details, I can look at it and play with it for a very... More long time. Its a retired set now, but the price is still reasonable unlike those ships with so much hike of the price.”

“I can't personally say if this is the very best of the Lord of the Ring sets, since this is the only one I've purchased so far. But I am highly pleased with it. The details, features, figs, and pieces are all amazing, and I would easily recommend this set to anybody, be they... More casual LEGO builders or die hard Lord of the Ring fans. The only reason you shouldn't get this set is because it's expensive, even if you can find it on sale.”
