Polybag
Another polybag set with slightly much more parts count compare to the Uruk-hai polybag. This one as you can see, the front shows us the serial number and the picture where we can see there are a number of accessories included. The back again are wordings.

Content
I'm glad to see there are a lot of  accessories and in the below picture shown, the extra parts are in there. We have an instruction sheet to teach us to build the cooking corner too.

Accessories
The accessories seems interesting especially the bottle and the sausages and compare to the Uruk-hai polybag this one is way better in numbers.

Frodo
The Frodo that came from this set are the same with the one that came from Gandalf Arrive (#9469) playset. He have two kind of expression printed one is happy face of his while the other is the worried or sad face. The torso are printed on both side, however the print on the face is a bit low on quality.

Cooking Corner and Barrel
I would said that this set is suitable for some interior decoration if you ever MOC a house for Frodo. Small but useful I would say and I feel that it is actually way better than Uruk-hai polybag except for the minifig.

Extra pieces
There are some extra parts left though not all of them are useful. But well, at least there is something bonus.

Completed model
My thought, this set was very nice indeed though we have a lot of Frodo if were to colelct all the playset and we do not need more than one Frodo of the same kind. But the build and parts given, especially the accessories are indeed nice.

Playability: 2/10 No functions in this set other than build.
Building experience: 6/10 fun to build this small cooking corner which might be useful.
Parts: 6/10 A lot of accessories.
Value for money: 6/10 Get it for RM20+, not really a good price but affordable.
Overall: 5/10 Nice set for accessories and furniture for your house. Bad minifig.
