I was super excited to see this set online from Toys R Us. I knew of its previous existence from Brickpedia and Brickset, but I thought it was a promotional item that was long gone, or not available in my area. This polybag cost me $4.99, which seems spot on for a licensed set with some nice special pieces. This Frodo is the same one that comes in set
9469- Gandalf Arrives. So, little Frodo has a reversible head with a worried expression on the other side. He also has some nice, shaggy hobbit hair. The keg fits nicely on the little table so it doesn't roll away. The flower seems pointless, but I like Lego flowers so I think it's a nice little homey touch. I love all the special pieces it comes with, especially the sausage since this is my first of that food item. The only thing I don't like about this set is that the frying pan half disappears under the hood of the cooking area, so it would be difficult to place anything on the frying pan. I have plans to later place this set with 79003- An Unexpected Gathering, as that set does not appear to have a fireplace/stove/cooking area. Hungry Hobbits need a place to cook and this set does the job.
