LEGO has officially revealed their newest The Lord of the Rings set, which will allow fans to build their own Bag End and celebrate Bilbo’s 111th birthday.
LEGO continues their quest to design stunning The Lord of the Rings sets meant to take away all of my money. Today, they’ve revealed the next LotR set to join the LEGO Icons line (which already includes Rivendell and Barad-dûr): The Shire. Coming in a little over 2,000 pieces, this new set allows fans to build Bilbo’s iconic home, while featuring a number of pivotal scenes from the film/books.
Journey to Middle-earth™ with the LEGO® Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire™ (10354) movie memorabilia set. Bursting with features that fans will adore, this intricate diorama captures the magic of Bilbo Baggins’ eleventy-first birthday party and includes 9 movie characters: Bilbo Baggins™, Frodo™, Mrs. Proudfoot, Farmer Proudfoot, Merry, Pippin, Rosie, Samwise™ and Gandalf the Grey™.
Recreate Bilbo’s hillside hobbit hole, complete with a round door and a richly furnished interior, including an entrance hall, study and parlor. Bring scenes to life with interactive functions. Transform a burning letter into The One Ring™ or make Bilbo vanish at the turn of a dial. Packed with movie details, from Gandalf’s horse and cart to the firework dragon and Party Tree, this set makes an enchanting display for the home or office.
The Lord of the Rings: The Shire comes in at $260 and will be available on April 5th, with early access for LEGO Insiders starting on April 2nd. Even better, Insiders who purchase the set from between April 2-8th will also get a free Smeagol & Deagol mini-set!
