Middle-earth [formerly LotR] in New Media

[Maria]

Oh, I like that! Now I want one.

[Eldy]

I quite like it, though the hobbits are perhaps a bit Hildebrant-y. One of the few takes I've seen that actually depicts a balrog as wrapped in shadow and "of man-shape, maybe" rather than as some sort of clearly-visible horned demon.

Same; it's very rare that I see a depiction of Balrogs (official or otherwise) that even comes close to capturing what I envision when I read the description of it in Fellowship. Thanks for sharing the link to this one!

[Snowdog]

I too like that depiction of the balrog!

Gigantic Lego Barad-Dûr

[RoseMorninStar]

Oh my! That price is downright evil!

[Alatar]

Ahem. I maaaay have bought one.

[RoseMorninStar]

Have you built it yet?

[Alatar]

Hasn't arrived yet! But I haven't built Rivendell yet and that's first

[Aravar]

I've built my Rivendell. I'm not mad keen on Barad-dûr but it looked better in the shop than the pictures online.

I would prefer Minas Tirith or Meduseld.

[Inanna]

I would like to build Rivendell. Maybe I’ll take that up in the winter break!

[RoseMorninStar]

I would like to build Hobbiton. For real. In my backyard. It will take more than winter break.

[ArathornJax]

Love the balrog depiction. I would like to build Rivendell but that will have to wait for awhile. Minis Tirith would be awesome! I'd like to see a Gondolin would be cool also.

I sure hope they won't delve too greedily and too deep

Maybe they should call it Disa... Durin's record on safe mining wasn't great!

[Frelga]

Interesting analogy, and extra points for book and not movie reference. But it's still duct tape.
