I'll go through each part of the set. The gate -both doors can open and close -A nob can be twisted, so the gate will be locked -A barrel, torch, and bottle lay on a platform near the top of the gates -some on the larger spikes on top of the gate are rubber -simple rock structure on the left side of the gate The tower -There is a 'secret' entrance on the lowest level of the tower -a scull and some bones litter the floor of the tower -The second floor has 2 rocks, for the catapult -The top has one last rock, the catapult itself(which is attached by 1 stud), and a torch Gandalf the white -NEW head, one smiling expression, one yelling expression -NEW Rubber conjoined hair/beard piece(warning: The hair sticks to the head, and can be tricky to take off) NEW body featuring a brown belt, and a silver cloak clasp Aragorn -double sided cape, one side black, one side red -NEW gondor armor torso and legs, featuring the white tree of gondor, a brown/silver belt, all on a dark blue over coat -same head, hair, and sword as original Aragorn Mouth of Sauron -definatly an interesting choice, considering he was only in the extended versions of the movie, and most kids will not have read the books -NEW helm piece, which I might add, is quite amazing -Very large mouth, with no eyes -black robes, with a grey belt, and silver highlights Morannan orcs -Same orcs as in the orc forge set -One has a uruk helmet and a flail, while the other has an old sword The eagle -NEW eagle, and one of the highlights of the set -crimson mold, with some darker feathers on the wings -yellow eyes - orange beak -WARNING: the legs to not, thus to not hold a minifigs in their talons(add a simple minifig back plate, like the one on star wars slave leia) All in all, this is a great set! To have the full gate, you need two of the sets. You build the first to the instructions, then build the tower of the second set to the instructions. You connect the tower of the second to the full model of the first. Then you use the extra gates as walls coming off of either side of the towers. Any who, the minifigs are great, and so is the set, so go, go buy it, right now!!Written by a customer while visiting shop.LEGO.comWas this review helpful?Yes (0)No (0)ReportBattle at the Black Gate Review!9/29/2014Average rating:5out of5stars, based onreviews9/29/2014by CullmanCreationsThis set is fantastic and is sadly the last of the Lord of the Rings theme. The gate which is the highlight but may not be the main reason you buy the set is detailed. The figures Gandalf the White, Aragorn in Gondor armor, and Mouth of Sauron figure are exclusive in this set. We Also get two neat Mordor Orcs which are always fun to get more of. One of the great eagles is included in this set which is super cool and may be the cheapest way to pick it up in a set, unless the Battle of the Five armies set from the new Hobbit film ends up to be cheaper, is nice. If I had one complaint which seems to be reoccurring (whit good reason) is that the gate needs another tower to really have an accurate representation like in the movies but none the less it is very cool. I highly recommend this set for any avid Lego Lord of the Rings or anyone who wants to have some sort of cool castle type model. I hope this review is helpful and gave you enough information on this pretty cool set from this pretty cool theme from Lego.Written by a customer while visiting shop.LEGO.comWas this review helpful?Yes (0)No (0)ReportRead all reviews
