Product Information

In regards to the weapons, you have Boromir's sword, Gimli's axe, the ranger sword, sting, and the elven blades. No Glamdring, but I suppose that could be easily represented by the current long sword element. Are they missing any other key weapons besides a reforged Anduril? I can't think of any. The only other thing might be Uruk-hai shields since the swords are still in production. I suppose since they put 16 of the weapons in one bag, it won't show up in smaller sets. Hopefully they do a similar but smaller assortment for smaller sets."

Each statue includes an identical torso and double-sided head, offering subtle variation between figures, as some feature a gentle smile and others appear more severe. These statues actually adorn the base of a ruined tower in the film, situated between the council courtyard and another tower that remains standing. Combining those towers into one was definitely a good decision for the LEGO model. Real wood oval frames were chosen for Frodo’s three faithful companions from the Shire. The clean simplicity of these frames reflects the earthy and wholesome lives of Halflings. Sam is shown in a 5x7” cherry wood frame. As normal, Rivendell is intended to be presented from the front, although the interior is also very detailed. I wonder whether an arrangement akin to 10305 Lion Knights' Castle would have been possible, so the model could be folded and enclosed on every side, or opened to create a wider facade. However, the rural features of Imladris require some separation from the focal building, so this design is probably more suitable. Remarkably, a unique accessory has been developed to represent Elendil's shattered blade and this weapon looks absolutely perfect. The distinctive hilt is instantly identifiable and the uneven break looks realistic too. Hopefully the reforged sword taken up by Aragorn, dubbed Andúril, will appear in any future The Lord of the Rings sets.Additional scrollwork elements are combined with life rings to assemble the ornate dome, which is extraordinarily detailed. The tooth pieces clipped underneath are effective too, recreating the Elven pavilions from the films with far greater accuracy than I had anticipated. Another récamier delivers a splash of colour inside. The legendary shards of Narsil are displayed upstairs, presented beneath a statue of an Elven princess. Certain features of the original statue are absent at this scale. However, the hexagonal plinth seems reasonably accurate and I like the dark blue elements, intended to recreate a fabric sheet under the shards of Narsil.

I assume that fight is from the comics? I have no recollection of that. I hope we get Gungi, but we probably won't know until next year's wave. I just hope they have a lower priced Bad Batch set I actually like."

Sam eavesdrops on the council's discussion and emerges from the undergrowth almost as soon as Frodo volunteers to take the Ring to Mordor. The designers have therefore hidden space for Sam behind some leaves and underneath the statues. No other functions are really included, so this seems strange, but the feature works perfectly and occupies an empty area. Overall, I’m very impressed and I’m sure that I will scrape together the cash to buy this (at some point…). The columns appear fragile, although some are surreptitiously reinforced using 1x1 round plates with bars, which connect them to the walls. A dark blue banner hangs behind the columns and resembles several from the films, featuring silver stars. Perhaps a couple more could have been included to balance the interior. The bookcase on the ground floor resembles those in Elrond's library, where Gandalf and Elrond discuss plans for the One Ring in The Fellowship of the Ring. The books look superb in a variety of colours and with different spines, flanked by decorative scrolls. Moreover, this room contains a pair of candelabra and a récamier, with green cushions.

The Lord of Rivendell is featured in a white rectangular carved wood frame, with flora that reflect his tranquil dwellings. 5x7” image. The overall frame is about 9 x11” Frodo arrives in Rivendell after being stabbed at Weathertop, so appears appropriately stunned from the wound. However, perhaps a concerned face would have been better for the Council of Elrond, with this design kept for possible future sets. Bilbo's other expression looks outstanding though, recreating the memorable 'scary Bilbo' moment from the film and showing the continued influence of the Ring! Medium nougat plates differentiate this area of the model, which is helpful because the armoury is situated lower in the valley onscreen, so appears darker. The continued greenery looks good and several mushrooms are placed around the shorter tree. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that their stems are actually glow-in-the-dark.

Official images have demonstrated that the Council of Elrond can be displayed separately from Rivendell, presumably for anyone seeking a smaller The Lord of the Rings display. Options are always welcome and the model does look impressive alone, but I am not convinced this feature was truly necessary. Rivendell appears decidedly peculiar without its focal location, after all. I like the stone columns sprouting from the tiled floor, with more candelabra and desks correctly distributed around the chamber. Each desk includes an inkwell, a candle and a map. One shows Sauron's fortress of Barad-dûr looming over Mordor, while the other displays rivers approaching a lake. Perhaps this map represents Nen Hithoel, where the Argonath is located. Legolas Greenleaf appears equally detailed, as metallic silver patterns complement the earthy colours of his attire. Sand green and sand blue look marvellous together and the dual-moulded boots are effective as well. However, I think tan would have been more suitable for Legolas' hair than blonde and maybe this Elf should have included unique hair, which could accommodate his quiver. The Ring Bearer and chief protagonist of LOTR, Frodo is shown in the same gold oval as Bilbo. The same frame signifies the otherwise unassuming looking Ring was passed from Uncle to Nephew. 5x7” gold leafed wood oval.
