LEGO’s latest announcement adds another magnificent build to its long line of Lord of the Rings models. By fusing the heralded work of J.R.R. Tolkien and the iconic locations from Peter Jackson’s film adaptations, the brickmaker’s take on Rivendell is something you’ve got to build to believe.
The remarkable diorama is equipped with 15 Minifigures, including everyone from Frodo to Elrond and Gandalf to Legolas. To touch on every necessary element from the series, LEGO highlights areas like Frodo’s bedroom, an elven tower, and, of course, The Council Ring, where you can assemble the entire Fellowship. These are all surrounded by mystifyingly tall trees that almost look like they could operate as their own floral LEGO set.
To top it all off, the 6,167-piece model is one of LEGO’s 10 largest offerings of all time, sandwiched behind the 6,020-brick Hogwarts Castle and a 6,785-piece AT-AT build released a couple of years ago. Aside from its small-scale take on iconic architecture, like the Eiffel Tower and Coliseum, the Rivendell model serves as another example of LEGO’s ability to appease diehard fanbases. As expected, the Danish toy brand claims that this mystifyingly massive build is suitable for people 18 and older, but any aspiring builders could still lend a hand.
LEGO’s Lord of the Rings: Rivendell set will be available starting March 8 for $500.
