And if you will purchase this set as a VIP member from March 5 to 7, you will also get a free LEGO BrickHeadz Frodo, and Gollum (40630) set valued at $15 The LEGO Icons Lord of the Ring: Rivendell has a hefty price tag of $499.99 and is scheduled to be released across all LEGO stores and online beginning March 8, 2023. Based on what I read from early reviews, Bilbo’s minifigure features an alternate face that underscores his scary features when influenced by the Ring. There are also two additional Elven smiths, Arwen, Gloin, Elrond, and Bilbo Baggins. We get to see newer versions of Gandalf the Grey, all four hobbits (Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Merriadoc “Merry” Brandybuck, and Peregrin “Pippin” Took), Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, and Aragorn. Looking closely at this portion, the designers also used several toilet seat pieces as part of the gazebo’s roof.Īnd what perhaps is the most appealing feature of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316) set is the sheer number of LOTR minifigures added to it. The gazebo’s design is simply outstanding, highlighting the effective use of white LEGO pieces to recreate the immaculate glow and brightness of the place. The third section of the set highlights a gazebo overlooking a river and bridge, where the Fellowship gets ready to depart from Rivendell as they embark to destroy the Ring. This actually gives us a total of 21 minifigures in all plus the minifigure that is on display in Elrond’s study room. It consists of five gray minifigures, each with distinct features. The second portion or section of this set features a stunning hall of unnamed Elven heroes of old. This part of the set is also adorned with several paintings that depict the story of the elves and their valiant efforts to defeat Morgoth and Sauron. Elrond’s study room prominently displays the Shards of Narsil using a new, broken sword element that perfectly captures the look and feel of the famous blade that struck the hand of the Dark Lord. The next portion is what I loved the most. Plus a reference to Bilbo’s iconic Mithril chainmail is also included. If you look closely, the designers of this set managed to have this minifigure version of Frodo sit on the bed despite his shorter legs, using a couple of headlight pieces. This first section also includes a look at Frodo’s Bedroom, where he rests after being rescued from the Nazgul’s clutches. I love how the hotdog and popsicle pieces were cleverly used to build the gang’s chairs, including a generous number of plant pieces that adorned the surroundings. Divided into three sections, the first features the Council Ring, where the Fellowship debates on how to best destroy the One Ring. And though this might be this year’s most pricey set so far at $500, the attention to detail and the insane amount of minifigures that goes with it make it worth every penny for long-time LEGO LOTR fans.Īnd fans will surely not be disappointed with all the film references that this set has to offer. After LEGO officially revealed its largest LEGO Icons set of the year, has been updated to include a listing of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell (10316) set.Ĭoming in at an impressive 6,167 pieces, this set comes in three sections giving it a sort of a modular set vibe.
