Lord of the Rings LEGO Sets

Finally the wait is over and the Lord of the Rings LEGO Sets have arrived at the LEGO Shop USA so it won’t be long before they are available at the LEGO Shop UK too.

This first release consists of seven sets, based on the trilogy of films, The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. The sets are 9469 Gandalf Arrives, 9470 Shelob Attacks, 9471 Uruk-hai Army, 9472 Attack on Weathertop, 9473 The Mines of Moria, 9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep, and 9476 The Orc Forge.

Currently, four of the seven sets (9469 Gandalf Arrives, 9472 Attack on Weathertop, 9473 The Mines of Moria, and 9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep) focus on the heroes of the theme. The other three are 9476 The Orc Forge, which focuses exclusively on the orcs, 9471 Uruk-hai Army, in which heroes and villains are approximately evenly matched, and 9470 Shelob Attacks, in which the evil spider Shelob is the primary focus.
