We also get a nice fish which happens to be Gollum’s favourite food. There’s a convenient grey 2×2 plate where Gollum can seat himself comfortable. Gollum uses this boat to paddle back and forth from his little island in an underground lake. We get a very basic boat that’s littered with what I only presume to be Goblin bones. This makes sense as this set depicts the bit in the first Hobbit movie where he has a game of riddles with Bilbo to determine whether he gets eaten or not. In this version his eyes are more slit-like and he has a bit more of a sinister grin on him, compared to the other version where he looks more menacing. His face is slightly different compared to his debut. Only appearing in last year’s Shelob Attacks set, it’s nice to have an alternate version of everybody’s favourite slimey ring-obsessed wretch. We also get a Gollum minifig, which is undoubtedly the star and possibly the main reason you’d want to get this set.
Not a bad minifigure to have and it’s nice to be able to get him in an easy to purchase set. He’s decked out in the same maroon jacket, khaki pants and is wielding Sting. The only other set that features this identical minifig is The Barrel Escape. Bilbo, being the “hero” of The Hobbit Lego sets doesn’t show up as often as say Jack Sparrow in Pirates or The Lone Ranger. It’s pretty cumbersome and it has to be folded in half to fit in the box and I hope that next year, well start seeing smaller sized manuals that’ll be a better fit for the smaller sized boxes.įirst up, the minifigs. I find it kinda funny that the instruction manual is much larger than the box. Here’s a shot of the box and instruction manual. My wife wanted a small Lego set to build because she didn’t want to be left out when I was building the Coast Guard Helicopter! I hope this won’t be the last Lego set that she guest builds! I actually bought this set a long, long time ago, when The Hobbit sets first made their appearance on toy shop shelves but it’s been sitting in my Lego cupboard. I’m going to go back to what I love best, reviewing Lord of the Rings sets! After my brief flirtation with Lego City, it’s time to return to my favourite Lego theme with the smallest set in the first wave of The Hobbit sets.
