"Grond is the rare Gift With Purchase that earns genuine praise from every reviewer who covered it, scoring a BrickScore of 78.9 with a functional battering ram, an impressive wolf's-head sculpt, and dead-on scaling to Minas Tirith. Day 1 buyers of Minas Tirith should not miss it."
Three reviewers agree with high consensus that Grond is a surprisingly excellent Gift With Purchase, earning a BrickScore of 78.9 and a Recommended verdict that several reviewers argued undersells it. Brickset called it "arguably too good" for its limited availability format, and all three sources praised the accurate wolf's head sculpt, the smooth functional battering ram mechanism, and the perfect proportional fit alongside Minas Tirith's gates. The key caveat is access: the set was available only as a first-week GWP with Minas Tirith, making it essentially a collectible exclusive.
