Blackjack Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Everybody, including me, is pumped about the UCS Orthanc, but what else do you guys think should be given the UCS treatment? At the top of my list would be a Bag-end, Barad-dur, mummakil, and maybe a brick-build Narsil or Anduril. Busts of characters such as Sauron, Frodo, Aragorn and the Witch King of Angmar would be awesome as well. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 A UCS Minas Tirith Battle set, filled with Nazgul and mumakil One can only dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'd happily pay the $400 price tag, similar to the Live Star UCS Playset :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Make it the same size as an AT-AT, could be achievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkers97 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think the white tree of Gondor with some of those boss looking guards would be awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeFanDan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 A detailed version of Rivendell would be pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Minas Tirith and Barad dur would be top of my list. Large Sauron figure or bust would be cool as well. Would have added the black gate to the list but the new set seems to have that covered already (even though you'll need at least 2 to do a proper display).

Would have added the black gate to the list but the new set seems to have that covered already (even though you'll need at least 2 to do a proper display). screw Barad Dur, give Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul! Barad Dur sure is ICONIC, but nothing happens there in the movies in epic battles wise, if we exclude LOTR prologue. And if we choose between Barad Dur and Morgul I easily would vote Morgul for the looks itself. But aside from that: 1. Minas Tirith 2. Mumakil 3. fell beast and Nazgul 4. Ship that sails elrond and others at end of 3rd movie to Valinor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship that sails elrond and others at end of 3rd movie to Valinor Yeah, I think you're right. Morgul would look very cool, plus it's more likely given it has decent movie screen time. I'd just love a home for Sauron. Agree with your other choices. I'd like to add: 5. Giant Mallorn tree with Galadriel and Celeborn housed in the treetop 6. The Argonath 7. Edoras 8. Mt Doom Basically TLG should just make every cool location a UCS set :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seifer Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Lord of the rings has still so much potential for great sets. All the locations and characters you mentioned would be ideal. I would really love to see Minas Tirith, Rivendell, Orthanc and Minas Morgul as UCS sets. Another great idea would be to have an UCS Balrog with shining red bricks to give him a flaming aura. It would be amazing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboy02 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Tree Beard with Mary and Pippin would be nice. And a Balrog would be pretty awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 They should just make a gold ring (with exclusive gold bricks and inscription) the size of the Death Star. My precious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcarin Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 +1 for Balrog I just think brick built Balrogs, Saurons, Treebeards, would be such a waste, compared to the epicnes of Minas Tirith, Minas Morgul, hell even Edoras would be better than 1 single Brick built anything. Maybe i am biased because i put event display > everything else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
