“This set is Shire through and through. Lego manages the pack and cram Bag End into this smaller than scale smial (hobbit-hole). The inside includes a small fireplace that can be enhanced using extra pieces, garden, a table with seating for all included minifigures, the... More famous Red Book and quill, broom and other special touches. The set is very well built structurally , even though the roof comes off.”
