The Return of the King as seen by Nuju Metru

Nuju Metru (see these articles about him) went to the end of his project which aims to create a parallel range of sets inspired by the trilogy Lord of the Rings.

Here is the result of his work on the third part The Return of the King culminating in the recreation of the siege of Minas Tirith. It's beautiful, it's clean, it's designed as official sets with the right ratio of parts / minifigs / price / playability / etc ... We would gladly buy this type of set and we hope that LEGO lags behind. other on the flickr gallery of this gentleman to catch some good ideas ...

I probably get a little carried away, but when I see what LEGO has presented us with Bag End at the last San Diego Comic Con, first set of the range The Hobbit, I can't help but think that the manufacturer takes the work of the fans on this line and is inspired by it to come up with something attractive, well finished and original.

The future will tell us if LEGO keeps an eye on the most interesting MOCs on offer lately, and if collectors will be able to afford sets that really meet their expectations and requirements ...
