The Shire set is an absolute must-have for any Lord of the Rings enthusiast. This magnificent build perfectly captures the serene, rolling landscapes of Hobbiton, focusing on the iconic hill beneath which Bilbo Baggins’ house is nestled. You’ll construct three detailed rooms of his cozy abode, complete with charming windows and doors. Beyond Bilbo’s home, the set includes other memorable elements from the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf’s cart, the festive fireworks tent, and Bilbo’s lively party pavilion, featuring a clever dial to recreate his famous vanishing act. For a deeper dive into the building experience and the impressive final result, you can find a comprehensive feature on building The Shire LEGO set.
LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Sméagol & Déagol (Gift With Purchase)
- Value: $24.99 (exclusively available as a free GWP)
- Recommended Age: 18+
- Set Number: 40761
- Piece Count: 181
The Sméagol & Déagol GWP beautifully recreates a pivotal scene from the beginning of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It transports you back to a serene day with Sméagol (before his transformation into Gollum) and his cousin Déagol, peacefully fishing in a small boat on a tranquil lake. What could possibly shatter such an idyllic moment?
This captivating set features a miniature fishing boat, complete with water, shoreline details, and a charming tree. You’ll also receive Sméagol and Déagol minifigures, along with two tiny fishing pole accessories. Ingeniously designed, the entire scene rests on stands, giving the illusion of hovering over an underwater area where Déagol discovers the infamous One Ring – a miniature version is, of course, included.
While the original movie scene culminates in tragedy, as Sméagol fatally claims the magical ring, you have the freedom to imagine a different outcome with your LEGO creation. Thankfully, The Shire set, depicting Bilbo’s joyous party day, offers a much lighter and more celebratory building experience. Remember, if you desire the Sméagol and Déagol set, ensure you acquire it by the end of today, as it’s highly unlikely to return once this promotion ends.
