LEGO Lord of the Rings Elrond Review

Theme: Lord of the Rings
Name: Elrond
S/N: -
Year: 2012
Pieces: 6
Minifig: 1
Price: RM-, USD-, GBP-

Polybag
The polybag is white in color itself and we cannot see through it. This minifigs is an exclusive gift that came with the game if you pre-order it. The front of the polybag comes with a code for you to unlock the character in the game. Other than that we have the parts count and the name of the set. The back are just some details about LEGO and the set itself.

Content
Inside the polybag are six minifigs parts that you need to made Elrond. Nothing else was given. I am upset to see that the cape are not properly protected by the box and is a little damage (see the fold line on the left). Other than that the cape given are way shorter than the one shown on the polybag.

Accessory
Here's a staff given to Elrond. No idea what is it called, but I think you can find it in The Hobbit playset. In other words, is not only in this set, you get it from The Hobbit playset if this minifig is expensive. Otherwise, Bricklink it.

Elrond
It was an exclusive minifigs. The torso are made from pearl gold material and printed on the both site. The leg are printed too and I hope my hip are properly printed. In terms of the details of the minifig, it is great to me. The hairpiece are nice too and we have two expression printed on his head.

Completed model
Is an epic fail on the cape, too short and one more thing, with his long hair, it is impossible for us to not damaged the cape when you attached the hair onto the head. Anyway is a nice minifig, just that it is a bit pricey. For those that have consoles or love gaming, is best for you to buy the whole game.

Parts: 8/10 Fully armed and fully printed.
Value for money: 2/10 I pay a lot for this minifig alone.
