10237 Tower of Orthanc

Finally, some news! Today we have 10237 Tower of Orthanc for The Lord of the Rings. It will be available for $199.99 USD during July of this year (2013). The set will include 5 minifigures a buildable (there's a new word for you) Ent and a tower. But this is no ordinary tower, I think this thing has got to be the tallest Lego set in history. The Tower of Orthanc looms over other Lego towers at an amazing 28" (inches) tall! The five included minifigures are: Saruman, Grima Wormtongue, Gandalf the Grey, an Uruk-Hai, and the "Orc Pitmaster" (as according to the official press release). Speaking of the press release, here it is:

Finally, collect one of the most instantly recognizable and iconic buildings of The Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Tower of Orthanc! Build all 6 highly detailed floors filled with fascinating movie-related details including the attic, library, alchemy room, Saruman’s throne room, entrance hall and dungeon. This exclusive model stars in some of the most iconic scenes from The Lord of the Rings movies. Swoop down with the Great Eagle and rescue stranded Gandalf the Grey from his tower-top prison after his defeat at the hands of the white wizard, Saruman. Build the powerful, tree-like Ent, with poseable limbs and cool swinging arm function, then attack the Uruk-hai and Orc Pitmaster while Saruman and his servant Grima Wormtongue take refuge high in the tower. The Tower of Orthanc is a must-have model for any The Lord of the Rings collection! Includes a Great Eagle, buildable Ent figure and 5 minifigures with weapons: Saruman with kirtle outfit, Grima Wormtongue, Gandalf the Grey, an Uruk-hai and the Orc Pitmaster

It's mostly a bunch of buildable and poseable Ents (seriously Lego?). Anyway, in my opinion, this set looks great... Until your eyes drift down to the price tag. I know this set is probably worth about $200 but it might be kind of annoying for any people out there who are trying to collect all of the Lord of the Rings theme (I know one of these people personally as a matter of fact).
