Attack On Weathertop Reviews
Eurobricks
“A must-have set for LOTR and Castle fans alike. The pieces can be used for anything, from medieval castles to modern skyscrapers. Most of the minifigures are very desirable, and the set has a great design to boot. I would reccomend that anyone considering buying some LOTR... More sets purchase this before Helm's Deep, but after the Mines of Moria.”

“Weathertop is a really great set, with a fun build and a very decent-sized structure upon completion. If you wan't to collect all 9 members of The Fellowship, you're going to have to get Weathertop for Merry, but more on that I think the 2 Nazgul make this a set worth... More considering. Coming in at US$60 however, the price is kinda steep and you're getting 2 minifigs (Aragorn and Frodo) that you can get in other sets.”
