Despite this, 9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep represents one of the best LEGO castles to date and it can even be combined with 9471 Uruk-Hai Army for a bigger battle. However, it’s not quite as unique as it once was thanks to the recent release of 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle, which shares many architectural elements such as the ramp and rocky base. One of the most recognisable LEGO The Lord of the Rings sets is 9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep, depicting the fortress in bricks using 1,368 pieces. Though the set doesn’t quite manage to capture the sprawling nature of the mines, 9473 The Mines of Moria stands out compared to other Castle mine models such as 7036 Dwarves’ Mine for its grounded and more realistic design, and the cave troll certainly helps too. This model depicts the ancient realm of the dwarves and a location that appears once more in The Rings of Power. LEGO The Lord of the Rings managed to sneak a big figure into the theme thanks to the cave troll in 9473 The Mines of Moria. The minifigure selection, as well as Treebeard, also assist in this matter. The build has such an iconic and menacing design that sets it apart from any other official LEGO towers on the market. Using 2,359 pieces, including a light brick, 10237 The Tower of Orthanc isn’t like any other fantastical LEGO set. When you search for LEGO The Lord of the Rings online, you’re almost certain to find 10237 The Tower of Orthanc as the theme’s largest set – by any metric – recreates the imposing tower standing tall at 73cm high. The design team used several specialised elements to bring Smaug to life in bricks and he’s likely one of the reasons why 79018 The Lonely Mountain fetches prices of over £400 on the aftermarket as there’s simply no LEGO dragon quite like Smaug.
LEGO 79018 The Lonely Mountain stands out from the rest of The Hobbit models, not for its build or its minifigures, but for the massive Smaug figure, forming one of the strangest Benedict Cumberbatch LEGO figures ever. As such, it’s one of the most notable and best LEGO The Lord of the Rings sets, signifying the start of the fellowship’s journey. The scene that this model is based on is one of the most important in the franchise, forming the fellowship that would bring the One Ring to Mount Doom. Still, it manages to feature the iconic arches and architecture that make Rivendell recognisable.
#LEGO THE HOBBIT SETS JACKPOT FULL#
Unfortunately, we never saw a full Rivendell model in LEGO The Lord of the Rings with 79006 The Council of Elrond being the only brick-built representation of the Elven town to date. Hobbit-holes have a unique design compared to other fantasy settings and as such, 79003 An Unexpected Gathering is just as unique, blending nature and living space into one set. Based on Bilbo Baggins’ home, 79003 An Unexpected Gathering includes a lush interior decorated with comfortable furnishings and plenty of food.
