At least it's better than the Dwarven Mine Defender in which you get a shorter amount of weapons overall, and no shields. Lego just can't let us have our cake and eat it too.
A shorter amount of weapons? in a dwarf set. Is that a pun? or a Freudian slip?
I would say that was an intended pun, but I'll blame it on absolute exhaustion instead.

Evil LEGO, very evil.
Well, you could always look on the bright side ! With a bunch of rats from other sets, and then from the impulse set, one could make a Pied Piper or maybe a Bubonic Plague Vig or MOC (despite I'm not sure how you can find a bright side from the Black Plague !).
Dude yea, the only things I hate about them are the wierd swords, way out of scale I know that LEGO has always done things out of scale but that is way out there. And the helmets, I hate when LEGO makes new stuff for what ever, I wish they would just reuse stuff. They never do anymore, they make new stuff evey time they make a new set.
That's not true. and think about, where lego would stand if they would have never changed the design of things, i guess lego wouldn't een exist anymore. changes are a MUST imo. it would get boring far too fast. and why do you think the swords are out of scale? most normal medival swords had a length at about 1 meter, or even longer, so i really don't think they are out of scale. also note that orcs wouldn't be the biggest species.
and in the end, think about that lego is a toy, nothing less and nothing more.
I really dig the swords. I went and bought the Exo-Force Storm Lasher just so I could have twelve of 'em. (Don't have any orcs/trolls/trorcs/ yet, but when I get some, they'll be well equipped)

Well maybe, I could stand it if everything wasn't metalic, ya know. And the swords are out of scale because of width not length. I like to reuse the undead swords.

The same as I'm ok with orcs without shields, I like they're swords. When I first saw them, I admit I hated them. But paired with an orc, they have a rough hewn quality to them. Like an unskilled orc smith forged them. Kinda like the square-ish orc swords in LotR. I did them now.
In the books uruk-hai are orcs/goblins.... PJ mutilated that one sadly. The swords were made by unskilled smiths that were crude and only efficient in the hands of the strong uruks according to the art designers in the bonues info on the DVD under Weta workshop.
I Like the swords as well. I hope lego PaB sells the shields (or any shields) soon.
Well I like the Uruk-hai scimitars, and even the unskilled can do a good job without knowing it. And now that I think back I do recall them saying the orcs being unskilled. And as for the shields, I think their great, really like how they took away the stud in the middle of the shield.
