Description

A chase with five characters

Five minifigures give Lake-town Chase enough of a cast to stage an actual pursuit rather than a single static scene, with pursuers and pursued able to move across the walkways and canals at the same time. That is a generous figure count for a set of this size, and it makes the set a useful pickup for collectors filling out their cast of Lake-town characters from The Hobbit range, rather than just adding another building to a shelf.

Esgaroth, a city built on water

Lake-town, also called Esgaroth in the books, is a settlement raised on wooden pillars in the middle of a lake and connected to the shore by a network of walkways and bridges. This set captures a slice of that setting, with buildings, jetties and a boat standing in for the canals where the film's chase actually takes place. Anyone who has seen The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug will recognise the location instantly as one of the trilogy's most distinctive backdrops.

470 pieces of weathered timber

At 470 pieces made from 134 unique parts, the build covers walkways, house facades and at least one boat within a manageable building session. That part variety suggests plenty of small timber details, beams, planks and bracing, that together create the slightly ramshackle look of a town built over open water rather than on solid ground. It is a noticeably different construction style from the stone architecture found in many other Hobbit and Lord of the Rings sets.

Parts for other water-town builds

The parts list on this page covers all 134 shapes and colours used in Lake-town Chase, handy for anyone after timber-effect pieces in reddish brown or dark brown for their own fantasy or waterside building projects. Since these colours and shapes suit other wooden-architecture themes just as well, the list is worth checking even without owning this particular set, simply to track down the right loose parts for a similar build.
