Fortress Features Outer Wall and Modular Construction
The Helm's Deep fortress set features a 6-inch-high outer wall, a 9-inch tower with horn, and an inner throne room. When the three pieces are connected together, this set measures 20 inches wide. To faithfully recreate the famous battle, the fortress boasts an opening main gate, side-door attack function, catapult, and exploding wall. But beware, as there is also a siege ladder and bomb that the relentless Uruk-hai warriors can use to breach the wall's defenses.
For more versatile play, the modular construction of the components allows the fortress sections to be rearranged to your liking. The included sticker sheet enhances the fortress details.
The set comes with eight mini-figures, including Aragorn and an Uruk-hai Berzerker. View larger.
Mini-Figures Let You Pit Good Against Evil
Eight LEGO mini-figures are included with the Helm's Deep set, including Aragorn, King Théoden, Gimli, Haldir, Berserker Uruk-hai, and three Uruk-hai warriors. Each detailed figure can be equipped with a wide range of included accessories, such as swords, single- and double-bladed axes, bows, shields, torches, and spears. A horse figure with a movable head and back legs takes King Théoden into battle.
Assembling Helm's Deep
Building such an impressive fortress of 1,368 pieces took our testers approximately four hours to complete. Four colorful instruction booklets have large pictures to offer sufficient guidance.
Once assembled, Helm's Deep offers several detailed play areas. Its broad size makes it an ideal play set to reenact battles. Our testers appreciated the fine attention to detail, including flags, torches, and goblets, as well as the moving set pieces, such as the gate, catapult, and collapsible wall.

it was really fun to buildby android (5 out of 5 stars)
December 12, 2014
Full Disclaimer: I am 25. I'm an engineer professionally, and I've always been a big Lego fan.
After 8 years of not buying Legos, I saw this and just had to get it.
First off, it was really fun to build. The minifigures are some of the coolest I've ever seen.
Second, it looks spectacular. Its probably the best-looking castle that Lego has ever produced, and I don't say that lightly.
I still don't get tired of looking at it on my shelf.
In fact, I liked it so much that I bought the entire rest of the first run of Lord of the Rings legos.
Good, detailed castle

I have a 7 year old son, and he loves the set. The castle is nice and open, which makes it easy for him to play with. It is a bit difficult for him to put the small pieces together, but he enjoys playing with it.
I also own Kingdoms King's Castle 7946, and King's Castle Seige 7094 sets (along with many more). I think Helm's Deep is superior to them.
Pros:
-8 Detailed (as far as Lego's go) Minifigures
-Higher walls than normal Lego castle sets
-Exploding wall
-Lego bricks that resemble bricks
-Many more pieces than a normal $99 Lego castle
-Almost 1400 pieces
Cons:
-Many small pieces. This isn't a bad thing in itself, it just makes the piece count a little deceiving. Even though it has about 40-50% more pieces than a normal $99 castle, it's not much larger.
-No base plate. It's not just a flaw with this set, it's a flaw with a lot of the newer sets. They would be better if they came wit a base plate to put the castle on.
I want to make a note that I got this set on Amazon for $99.99. For this price it is truly one of the best lego castle sets you can find. The MSRP of $129.99 is a bit overpriced.
Gimli finally gets his box
by Barbara (5 out of 5 stars)

when I recieved this set I knew I was going to recieve a detailed scene of one of the greatest batlles in the LOTR franchise. It was easy to build, and it even comes with a a large lego multitool that can be use to pull apart any two bricks. this means no morebent pieces or broken nails for me. One of the first things I noticed in the set was the little lego box, made in commemoration of when, in the two towers at the actual battle, legolas jokingly asks gimli if he would like a box to see over the rampart. I really like the fact that this set seperates into sections for easy transportation. You can even switch around the sections to customize and make your own fort. although the whole thing is hard to spin around, and the side doors are a little to small for normal minifigures, there are plenty of fun extras that come with this set. Thanks Lego!
Good set overall, BUT not at $129.99!

First things first, I'm a parent who buys Legos for my 6 year old son (and of course for me a little bit as well). That being said, I can't speak on how fun it is to play with, although my son seems to enjoy it. I will say a bit about the technical aspects of it:
1. The full retail price of $129.99 is too high (in my opinion). I got mine from Amazon for ~$105, so I'd suggest waiting for a sale.
2. Although pricey, you do get 8 minifigures, 9 bags of Legos (1,368 pieces) and 4 instruction books. It's a large set, and a fun build (although a bit repetitive).
3. My son always asks me what each set "does;" meaning: what special features (trapdoors, hiding places, etc) does it have? This set doesn't have many. There's the catapult by the front stairs (for Gimli) and the break-away wall (for when the bomb explodes). And the break-away wall's design prevents it from working properly (pieces are always left behind).
4. The LOTR Hobbit Urak-Hai Army (9471) can be clicked into the side of this set to make an even bigger fortress.
All in all, if you're a fan of the Lego The LOTR sets, then I would definitely recommend this one.
Knowing what I know now, I'd buy it again.

Overall it's a great set, lots of detail and lots of tiny fiddly pieces to put together, which to me is the whole point of legos. I extended the thrill of putting it together by building it up layer by layer instead of in the 'click-together' sections the instructions suggested.
The only criticisms that I have are that more thought was put into the way things looked from the outside of the walls than the way they worked inside them. Guess I'll have to get some more legos and see what I can't do to correct that.
On the plus side, I picked up the 'Uruk-hai Army' expansion set on an impulse and am pleased to say that it clicked together with this set easily. It can either be stuck on the end or inserted between the 'stream' wall section and the keep.
As to whom I would recommend this set: anybody who loves legos and anybody who loves LotR. Heck, I may even buy it again for myself.
Neat-o set!

My husband has had so much fun putting this together. I am sure he'll "have" to reenact the battle scene one he is all finished (He is on the last bag of Legos.) It comes with multiple instruction books that are easy to understand. This set is smaller than we expected and overpriced by $100...
Get a sorting tray for the pieces before you attempt putting this together.
Great set. Amazon needs to learn how to pack well.

This is a great, great set. I am not a LOTR fan and never will be one, but, man, this is one amazing LEGO set. Nice castle, nice minifigures, lots of weapons, etc. Not too fond of the use of stickers, as I prefer printed bricks. I am very happy to have it in my collection.
However, when will Amazon ever learn to pack well before shipping? I am a collector and need the packaging to arrive in pristine condition. Amazon never delivers in that aspect. If not for the price, I would always buy from the LEGO Store.
Bigger than it looked.

I have purchased MOST of the LOTR legos by now, and I was holding off on this one because the price seemed high for what seemed like not the world's coolest set.
I have now changed my mind. This set is really great, and nicely detailed. Once built it looked much bigger than how it looked in pictures, and makes for great play with all the other sets. Anyone who is a fan of the movie will like the detailing, and anyone who like legos will like it because it is awesome, a really fun set to build and a very "playable" set.
my son loves it

We bought this as a Christmas gift for my seven year old son. First of all, let me say that a seven year old can't put this together by himself. It does make for a great couple of days spent with your child putting it together though. He certainly helped and felt that he had a part in building this behemoth of a lego set. All the details are here. I really like the attention that lego puts to the various details from the LOTR movie.
Great Collection of Minifigures (could have used more, of course, but a nice selection) Cool Castle
by sci teacher (5 out of 5 stars)

I feel like they're missing some key characters, but I suppose that's a gimmick to get you to buy the rest of the collection. This is a slightly older set at this point, and while it's fairly expensive, it's an awesome addition to any Lord of the Rings Lego collection.
Lego always does a neat job with details. The castle part's pretty standard, but it's a set that's great for photo opportunities.
