LEGO Announces A Massive ‘Lord of the Rings’ Rivendell Set


If I really want one massive interlocking building block set, it would be the Shire. That day may never come, but LEGO is satiating the appetite for Lord of the Rings kits by announcing a vast Rivendell set. Will you pay several hundred dollars to return to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Valley of the Elves?

The Lord of the Rings Rivendell set comprises 6,167 pieces and is intended for ages 18+. The price tag is $499.99, surprisingly $150 higher than the now-retired Ghostbusters Firehouse set. While all of Rivendell measures 15″ tall, 29.5″ wide, and 19.5″ deep, the three main areas are modular, allowing us with limited shelf space more display options.

Expect the kit to start shipping on March 8th.

Rivendell is populated with 15 Minifigures, including:

  • Frodo Baggins
  • Bilbo Baggins
  • Boromir of Gondor
  • Elrond
  • Arwen
  • Aragon (Strider)
  • Gimli
  • Merriadoc
  • Peregrin
  • Gandalf the Grey
  • Samwise Gamgee
  • Legolas

You can recreate the Council of Elrond and the Fellowship of the Ring with these figures. Other scenes from the book and Peter Jackson’s film can also be displayed thanks to LEGO’s attention to detail. The Shards of Nasil and the painting of Isildur’s battle with Sauron are present. The bed Frodo finds himself in after being chased by the Dark Riders is here, too. Bilbo even has a small room for writing There and Back Again.

Sadly, the fountain isn’t present for those who want to create the nude dwarves’ bathing scene from Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy.

LEGO has officially named Rivendell one of the company’s 10 “biggest” sets ever. Others in that list include the 10k piece Eiffel tower, the 53″ long Titanic, and the latest $700+ Millenium Flacon kit.
