A Great looking and inspired set, but somewhat fragile.
Once built, I have to say, this is really a great looking set. It's smallish in fact the Lego booklets even encourage buying additional sets to make it larger, which is kind of redundant if you ask me, but it's almost comparable to the Helms Deep set which is twice as large. The design however is awesome with the black color pattern and the intricate series of spikes.

My real gripe with the set however, is that it's very fragile, and can be very flimsy when trying to put together. The instructions require you to attach the gates onto the main platform, before the gates are fully built. This makes pressing down on the pieces to attach them very a very delicate task. Several times when building, for me, that gate portion completely fell apart as I was trying to attach a certain piece. It was very frustrating. Even when fully built, the model is still a bit wobbly, and doesn't feel like it's completely solid. This is very disappointing, because, like said, it's a really cool...

LEGO Lord of the Rings Battle at the Black Gate Fly the Great Eagle high above the Black Gate of Mordor where Aragorn and Gandalf the White must distract the Eye of Sauron. Use them to stage a scene while Frodo Baggins and his friend Sam throw the One Ring into the fiery depths of Mount Doom and destroy it forever. To reach the Ring?s final destination, you must defeat the Mouth of Sauron and the Mordor Orcs positioned high in the spiked gate walls. Then breach the gate and lead the attack on the enemy! Includes a Great Eagle and 5 minifigures with weapons: Aragorn, Gandalf the White, Mouth of Sauron and 2 Mordor Orcs. Product Measures: 2.4" x 18.9" x 11.1" Recommended Ages: 9-14 years

• Black Gate features cool spiked detailing, opening and locking doors, secret entrance and a catapult
• Also includes a poseable horse and 5 weapons: Staff, 3 swords and a ball and chain
• Combine multiple sets for even bigger battles
• Defeat the Mouth of Sauron on the poseable horse; look out for flying catapult rocks; sneak through the secret entrance
• Black Gate of Mordor(with gate closed) measures over 8" (22cm) high, 11" (30cm) wide and 2" (7cm) deep; Great Eagle wingspan measures over 7" (19cm)

Could be cheaper
The Black gate set feels small for a $60 set, perhaps due to many small pieces. Compared to 9471 Uruk-Hai Army, it feels overpriced - minifig and size wise
Cool set if you can find it for under 59.99
Picked this up for 50.99 on Kmart.com, and my son loves it. DO NOT buy this for more than the MSRP of 59.99. It's still new, so the price gouging is at a high for this set right now. Wait for more to become available. Again, it's a great Lego set at $50-60, and if you're looking to spend more than $60, there are bigger and more complex sets for that price range.
