The heads are double-sided, for fierce and fiercer looks. I must say the blood red Uruk-hai heads were by far the single most impressive piece – and there were four of them. By the way, some LEGO LotR sets come with an orange brick separator included – this one didn’t, so I had to supply my own (I didn’t need it in the end). There was a multitude of strange (to me at least) colors and many multi-colored parts, making the sorting process harder than usual. This turned out to be no problem, it was at the very least easier to build from all sorted pieces than from separate bags of unsorted bricks – and it allowed me to get a feel for (and a photo of) the entire brick collection. The set does come divided into two numbered sub-models, but I disregarded that and opened all at once. I already got a taste of the former with the Gandalf Arrives set and now I was going to check out the latter via this set, which is a companion to the larger 9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep.Īgain I started with what has become my ritual, sorting all the pieces by color. Two main topics interested me: the new horse and the new castle building style. My main motivation for checking out the LEGO Lord of the Rings theme, in addition to being a fan of the books and the movies, was getting a feel for the latest castle theme in the LEGO arsenal – considering my efforts at building one of the first ones. Uruk-hai Army box photos can be found in an earlier post. I have previously “reviewed” the Gandalf Arrives set (and the CUUSOO Hayabusa), if you want to check those out. Time for my third AFOL novice look at building a modern LEGO set, the 9471 Uruk-hai Army from the first wave of the new LEGO Lord of the Rings theme.
