Lego reveals massively detailed Lord of the Rings Rivendell set

Lego’s done it again. Move aside, dog-sized AT-AT. Rivendell is the Elven stronghold in the Lord of the Rings series. This set has the coolest and most detailed plastic brick builders. This set, which is based upon the Peter Jackson movies, has 6,167 pieces and 15 minifigures. If you’re curious, this includes Elrond (Elrond), Arwens, Bilbos, Gloins and some Elf NPCs. It is one of the ten largest Lego sets.

In addition to those 6,167 pieces — which make up three distinct sections, including the Council Ring, an Elven tower, and that picturesque gazebo and river — the kit also comes with numerous little prop replicas, like Sting, the broken shards of Narsil, Aragorn’s sword, and other fearsome plastic weapons.

The set will be available on March 8 for $499.99, though if you’re a Lego VIP member, you can purchase it earlier on March 5, and get a free Frodo and Gollum Brickheadz set. The Lego website has more details about the set, including information for pre-orders.
