This tower is really fantastic. It has multiple levels that can be reached from the back and the ominous look to it from the front is impressive. The Ent that comes with it is several inches tall and was a nice addition just by itself. My kids like this tower also and have not taken any of it apart (which is unusual for them). I like having it set up and towering over all of the other lego sets that they have in the play room. I guess I don't know what else to say. Despite the fact that I am not that into lego sets, I am glad I purchased this one. I almost want to glue it together so that it cannot be taken apart, but then that defeats the purpose of them being lego sets. Anyway it is one of my favorite as I stated in the title. In fact, I would say at this time that it is my favorite, and we have gotten quite a few over the years.
Pros:
-Awesome set, could not say better things about it
-Iconic landmark of Middle-Earth
-Fun Build
-Cool interior set pieces, you can tell they put a lot of time into the details
-An Exclusive Robe piece for Saruman, though it also comes with legs
-An Ent! You get an actual Ent in this set which is a fun little add-on
-Also, you get an Eagle in this set, so that you can recreate Gandalf's rescuing
-I could go on and on, but I think you get it, this set is great
-Unique build, and some unique pieces to this set
Cons:
-Price point, I would say 150 would be a better price, but this is an iconic set, and they can charge more
-The stickers, oh god, even as an adult, I can't stand the stickers, though I suppose it's down to personal preference on this one
-Some parts of the build are a bit repetitive, but that is with almost any big build
-ALL THE BLACK BRICKS, I realize it's necessary for this set, at the same time, it gets to you
So, that wraps up the pros and cons, to wrap the review up, this set is great, though pricey, it is worth the money. I wouldn't recommend this set to the kids, there are far better sets out there for their age group. This set comes with 4 minifigs, Saruman, Gandalf the Grey, an Orc, and an Uruk-Hai. It comes with an eagle and an Ent. Great build, and well worth it for the adult fans of Lego.

Bei diesem Modell kann ich nur sagen, dass LEGO hier eines hinbekommen hat, welches beiden Seiten gefallen könnte.
Von der Rückseite aus regt es die Spieler an, die sich zudem pro Stockwerk an jeder Menge Details erfreuen dürfen.
Die Vorderseite, die ja weitestgehend geschlossen ist, ist dann trotz allem auch wunderbar anzuschauen und enthält ebenfalls etliche Positionen, die einen hohen Wiedererkennungswert haben.
Auch sollte gut überlegt werden, wo das Modell mit seiner Grösse aufgestellt werden soll - bei einem Regal wird es oftmals schwierig.
Einzig der enthaltene Ent erzeigt bei mir ein zweispältiges Gefühl: ich bin kurz davor, den doch eher als hässlich zu bezeichnen.
Das Fazit bleibt: volle 5 Sterne, da es insgesamt ein sehr gefallendes Objekt ist, das sein Geld [ich habe es hier über ein Angebot für rund 180 Euro bekommen]) wert ist.
Anmerkung: ich habe auch die übrigen Modelle aus der LotR-Reihe, aber dieses sticht eindeutig heraus.
P.S.: die "kleinen" Dinge sind von meinen Vorrednern zur Genüge beschrieben worden.
