The Battle of Helm’s Deep already has its own official LEGO version, but the licensed set has nothing on this mind blowing set built by Lord of the Rings fans Rich-K and Big J.
As where the official LEGO version features 1,368 pieces, this custom job utilizes over 150,000 LEGO building blocks to recreate the classic scene from J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic film. In addition to the staggering number of bricks used for the installation, Helm’s Deep also includes 1,700 minifgures.
HOOOO
But you will not see that.
#sobbing #because though aragorn was the divinely-chosen king descendent from the line of kings #boromir was the one who had grown to manhood among his people; grown up defending and loving them #to him they were not just a faceless mass waiting to be led #or helpless children in the face of the power of the east #they were the warriors that fought beside him and the women that sold their goods in the market and his brother and his father #the houses of healing and the white tree #everything boromir was or ever hoped to be was inextricably bound to gondor; to minas tirith #and here was this elf-raised numenorean who not only was rightful heir to the throne boromir thought defunct #but did not even have the decency to respect and care for the people he would be ruling from it #of course boromir is angry #of course he tries to make aragorn see #boromir you are my favorite until the end of time #the fleeting voice of falliable humanity amid a narrative of gods and heroes#humanity that loves and humanity that falls #ack (via notbecauseofvictories)
