The Lego Group, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, has announced the much-anticipated Lego Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell set.
This highly detailed, 6,167 piece set inspired by the award-winning film adaptations features the iconic elven stronghold and comes complete with 15 minifigures and Lego elements from the world of Middle-earth. Home to the house of Elrond, Rivendell is a key location in Middle-earth and events of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, as the place where the Fellowship was formed and the quest to destroy the One Ring began.
The Lego The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell set is packed with fan favourite moments and Easter eggs, and can be built in three sections:
Section One features the Council Ring, Frodo’s Bedroom and Elrond’s Study; Section Two features an Elven Tower; while Section Three features a Gazebo, River and Bridge.
The set comes with 15 minifigures, including all nine members of the Fellowship; Gandalf the Grey, all four hobbits, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir and Aragorn. They are joined by minifigures of Elrond, Arwen and Bilbo Baggins, plus additional elves and a dwarf are also included.
Talking about the set, Lego design master, Mike Psaiki, said: “We know many of our fans have been anticipating a set like this for a long-time. It was important to us that we created something really special in this recreation of Rivendell. We aimed to add as much detail as possible and create an engaging experience throughout the build, to delight fans recreating scenes or proudly displaying Elrond’s home. We are really pleased with the final design and how we have brought Rivendell to life in brick form.”
The Lord of the Rings and Lego fans who want to be amongst the first to get their hands on this new set can meet the creative minds behind the masterpiece on Sunday 5th March at the Lego Store Leicester Square. Fans can meet the designers and have their sets signed between 12.30 and 1.30pm.
