Ready for the big battle with a number of exclusive characters and eagle Gwaihir

Although the name of the set in relation to what you get figures and technically, may sound perhaps a little pompously, The Battle of Five Armies, the second largest of the 2014 published Hobbit sets for fans docAuch if the name of the set in relation to what you get figures and technically, may sound perhaps a little pompously, The Battle of Five Armies, the second largest of the 2014 published Hobbit sets for fans but a real recommendation. To clarify the question of the figures the same as First: In the box there are exactly 7 minifigures and 1 animal So as I said far from five armies. But it is equal to 5 to get them exclusively in this package and all five participating factions are represented with at least one representative. In addition, all figures as of Lego are accustomed really designed very detailed and authentic.

These characters are (in each case with typical weapon / equipment):
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
- Dain Ironfoot (exclusive Lego premiere of the character)
- Thorin Oakenshield (exclusive design)
- Legolas Greenleaf
- Bard the bowman (not exclusively, but was so taken previously only individually on the San Diego Comic Con 2014 have exactly the figure here Set your premiere)
- Azog (exclusive design)
- 2x Gundabad Orc (exclusive design)
- Is also the great eagle Gwaihir (as 8. Figure, if you will)

With 472 parts and a suggested retail price of 70 euros the set is the second largest and -teuerste the 2014er-wave. Additional accessories include a crate and 9 contain weapons (ax, bow and arrows, swords, etc.).

The second main attraction in addition to the figures, the mobile giant crossbow orc, worthy of the name, in fact, and with the two arrows contained can fire simultaneously (by spinning a gear). The atmospherically designed ruins scenery consists of a lookout tower (about 20 cm high) and a bridge. About two small lever part of the bridge, or almost the entire side wall of the tower can be optionally blown away.

Conclusion:
--------
While you get here understandably less than five figures armies, but all five parties in the great battle of the third Hobbit film are represented by at least one character is a very nice thing, I think. The set is ultimately for all fans a clear buy recommendation and in particular also for die-hard collectors figures. Because there are more of them than any other box this year Hobbit publications of Lego, including the premiere of a character, the, as yet, not as mini figure was (Dain Ironfoot). The game setting with dilapidated lookout tower and crumbly bridge is beautifully decorated and offers two triggered by lever play functions. The whole is rounded off by the large orc with crossbow shot feature. All in all, getting Hobbit enthusiasts here thus offer a coherent overall package, I can definitely recommend.
