   (...) I believe Tolkien conceived of caverns under the tower of Isengard, remember when Gandalf instructed Treebeard to let in water to fill up all the caves and caverns underneath the tower so Saruman could not escape? Regardless, the sets look (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
   
        Re: Careful what you wish for: clone LOTR blocks sighted —Dave Schuler
   (...) I'm not so sure. The Prancing Pony set seems to include more actual bricks than all the Potter sets combined. When was the last time LEGO released an actual structure made of actual bricks, rather than a handful of 1x2x5's, or the equivalent? (...) (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

   (...) How menacing. It must intimidate potential invading armies:) I have the black Tyco castle, but missing some parts. It has pink window frames, but other than that is pretty menacing. The boss minifig has only one eye (or maybe it is a helmet (...) (23 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
