Lego Orthanc Tower from Lord of the Rings

Lego Orthanc Tower

I just found out that LEGO decided to make the Orthanc Tower from LOTR! I’ve looked through the official photos, and I have to say, it looks pretty cool to me. There seems to be a lot of detail, and the brick-built Ent is a great addition. I also know that I, for one, am pretty excited about the shields and armor with white hand-prints on them, though I also must confess that I don’t actually know if they’re new for this set. Here’s the press release from LEGO:
