The Hobbit – Desolation of Smaug: 79012 Mirkwood Elf Army [Review] – Brothers Brick

79012 Mirkwood Elf Army is a small forest battlement manned (elfed?) by a squadron of 4 wood elves. It’s under siege by a duo of orcs, one of whom rides a warg. With 276 pieces for its $30 price-point, it fares well for a licensed set, and only gets sweeter when you consider that it includes 6 minifigures. It’s the Hobbit equivalent to the Lord of the Rings’ 9471 Uruk-Hai Army.

The box contains 2 numbered bags, a 10×10 octagonal plate with hole, an individually bagged warg (which is new here in dark brown), and one annoyingly crumpled instruction booklet that wouldn’t stay open without weights on the corners. The first numbered bag contains the warg rider, Elf-King Thranduil, and the generic Mirkwood elf, as well as the pieces for the tree-fort — ahem, I mean forest battlement. The forest battlement is a large, brick-built, hollow tree stump, concealing a cubbyhole for a barrel full of green gems — well, one trans-green gem and one trans-green 1×1 round plate. The most interesting part of the trunk is the use of the new 1x3x3 arch, aka the gothic arch, in brown, which is the first time that piece has appeared in brown, and is only the third color currently available. You get 4 of them in brown with this set... Read more here

Review: 79012 Mirkwood Elf Army (of Awesome) – FBTB

Turns out, Ambush is $20, Mirkwood is only $30, and Fortress was only $70. Given the recent trends in Lego prices being somewhere between “are you kidding” and “those greedy *bleeps*,” it seems like something is up here. I mean, this set is basically a $30 battle pack with six figures, five of them being generic and the kind of things you want a whole bunch of. What is this, opposite world?

The second movie just came out, and to be honest, I have no idea if this scene is in it, in the extended edition release that’s going to trick us out of $20 next year, or in the third movie that we haven’t even been disappointed in yet. But on the Lego front, there’s a whole lot to love in this wave of sets. After some shaky initial releases, it looks like both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings sets are hitting their stride. Anyway, let’s see how much value can be pulled out of your $30.

Sometimes I make a comment about how tough a set is to review, either because of its price point, the subject matter, or just the nature of what its trying to show us. Often its a licensed set like this, where I haven’t seen the movie (yet… going to go this weekend and write another hated movie review), like this one. But there is no conflict here… this set, without knowing anything about the movie other than the trailer makes me think it’s based on the Hobbit in much the same way that The Lost World was based on the book of the same name (either one, really).…Read more here

Here’s What An Amazon Reviewer Had to Say About LEGO The Hobbit 79012 Mirkwood Elf Army Building Set

Ron Cole TOP 100 REVIEWER

…Great Army Building Set and Fortress Expansion!….

79012 Mirkwood Elf Army was originally released in late November / early December of 2013 with a LEGO Store price of $29.99. It contains 276 pieces, and includes 6 minifigures (4 elves and 2 orcs), a Warg, various accessories (saddle, weapons, ladder, etc…), and pieces to make a section of a fortress wall.

This is an incredible army building set for those interested in increasing their Elven forces, and also does a nice job of including a Warg for the orc’s side (you can never have too many of those). The wall structure is also nice, containing various weapons (some of which even fire). Because the ends of the wall are pegged, they can be fit together with other sets to expand them. In fact, you can fit together two of the Mirkwood Elf Army sets to form a very nice front castle gate, or put together four of them for your own small enclosed fortress.

The one thing I didn’t like about the set is how easily the tree/tower top comes off. Because these are LEGOs, though, you can easily fix that if it bothers you – just build it more securely with some additional pieces. Still, it would have been nice if it had fit together a little more securely from the original design.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars (rounding to 5). Whether you just buy one to bulk up your army or multiple to build an Elven fortress, this set is a lot of fun!
