      i hear from some people that they are disappointed by all of LEGO’s licenses and miss original themes… this does not support that argument. Nothing here is based on an original idea.

      I’m sure that the popularity is based upon links back to TBB though, so it’s not surprising.

      All masterpiece builds! Tower of Orthanc and that Sandcrawler monster are fantastic.
      Shobricks photo’s always are winners. Great photography.

      “Nothing here is based on an original idea.” That’s an interesting observation, dover. Popularity is a difficult thing to measure, of course, but even so…
