Summary

Lego has confirmed there is at least one new Lord of the Rings set coming.
A teaser showing a Lego recreation of the Eye of Sauron suggests the next LOTR set will based on Barad-dur.
The only Lego LOTR set released in recent years was 2023's Rivendell set, its release ending a decade-long wait for new Lord of the Rings Lego.

Lego returned to Middle-earth for the first time in a decade last year when it debuted its Rivendell set. A part of Lego's Icons range, the toy brick recreation of the iconic 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Lord of the Rings location is made up of more than 6,000 pieces and costs $500. It makes sense that there'd be a wait for anything more following the release of a set that size, but it 🔯seems the wait is almost over. Lego has teased a new Lord of the Rings set is coming, and the Eye of Sauron will be at its center.

The teaser begins with a close-up of a single black brick, and when touch💃ed, an image of a Lego Eye of Sauron takes its place, much like the one shown in the movies when somebody slips on The One Ring. That's as much as we know about whatever Lego ha👍s coming next on the Lord of the Rings front for now, but based on the short teaser it's safe to assume that the next set will be modeled after Barad-dur, the homebase from which Sauron ruled in Mordor.

If the next Lord of the Rings set is going to be a Lego version of Barad-dur, then it's probably also safe to assume it will be on the same level in terms🌳 of complexity and price as the Rivendell set. Almost certainly another expensive option with thousands of bricks to do the iconic location justice, but since Lord of the Rings is an IP that primarily appeals to adults, it makes sense that Lego would stick to keeping the sets spun from it ones that are aimed at older Lego fans.

LEGO The Lord Of The Rings Rivendell Building Set

Number of Pieces: 6,167
Age Recommendation: 18+
Figures Included: 15
Set Number: 10,316

This LEGOಞ set features the Elven valley of Rivendell from The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring✅ film.

While not confirmed by Lego, suggests there's more than just the Barad-dur set on the Middle-earth horizon. The new set could come with a Fellbeast set for free which will potentially include some exclusive Minifigures. Three of them, but which characters they will be is entirely down to hope, guesswork, and speculation for the time being. Giving away sets for free would be on brand for Lego in 2024 as it handed out Sta𓆏r Wars sets with select purchases for May 4 earlier this month.

Lego's focus, at least when it comes to officially licensed sets, so far this year has been wholly focused on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars, not only for Star Wars Day but also because it's been 25 years since the release of the first Lego Star Wars set. Now that May 4 has been and gone that focus may shift. A Lord of the Rings set is coming, potentially quite soon since the official teasers have already begun, and there's still an expectation 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Legend of Zelda set𝓡 will be revealed. The hope for that may have dwindled slightly after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Tears of the Kingdom's anniversary has been and gone without any mention of i🦋t.
