About this deal

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. 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." 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. Akin to the Hobbits benefitting from the dual-moulded legs developed after they last appeared in minifigure form, Gandalf the Grey includes a modern dress piece to recreate his robes, greatly improving upon the prior minifigure. The decoration across the torso and dress element matches his original garb and the reverse also displays some creasing, despite usually being covered.

Son of Thranduil of Mirkwood, Legolas the Elf is featured in a real LOTR metal collectors frame with mallorn leaves on each corner. 4x6” Bilbo Baggins is featured in a simple gold leafed frame, as he remained untainted by the One Ring. 5x7” wood oval. The momentous Council of Elrond takes place in the courtyard outside Elrond's chambers, with an enormous tree overlooking the scene. The setting is immediately recognisable here and the use of colour is brilliant, as the gathered chairs are the only medium nougat features anywhere outside, ensuring their clear visibility. 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.Shieldmaiden of Rohan, and slayer of the Witch King. “I am no man!” Eowyn is shown in a 5x7” vintage resin frame with a burgundy interior and gold roses encircling the outer rim. Both minifigures wear dark bluish grey robes, with sand green and metallic silver accents. While these designs look great, their colours should differ between them, at the very least. The dress provides some variety though and this torso is cleverly designed, so the dark green belt appears equally natural with or without the ribbons hanging underneath. Encompass the legendary adventure of the Fellowship from the Lord of the Rings with this epic metal silhouette. We use a plasma-cutting table to produce this one of a kind rustic, minimalistic steel that is 40 inches wide and 9 inches tall.

The ground floor is luxuriously adorned with 69 printed tiles, matching those from the courtyard outside. This pattern looks fantastic and precisely reflects the onscreen location, with light bluish grey tiles framing the decorative centrepiece. Unfortunately, the star-shaped design overlaps the edge of the model, so finishes rather abruptly.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. Whereas the other members of the Fellowship are dressed fairly consistently across their whole adventure, Aragorn wears more formal attire for the Council of Elrond. The padding underneath his dark brown robe displays nice texture and I like the decoration around his collar. The tousled hair element seems appropriate too, while the double-sided head includes some facial hair. Peregrin Took is similarly attired in his finery, with a detailed scarf. All three minifigures feature traditional smiles, but also include second expressions chosen to reflect their personalities. Sam accordingly appears very serious and carries a frying pan, while Merry looks excited and Pippin is nervous. Naturally, the more troublesome Hobbits are laden with food, including Elven lembas bread. Among many interesting features, the roof tiles have attracted particular attention. Rows of sand blue, tan, nougat and sand green 1x1 tiles are laid diagonally across the roof, arranged to create repeated patterns. These correspond exactly with Rivendell's film appearances, with sign pieces flawlessly completing the roof slope. They have never appeared in sand green before, while the nougat 1x1 tiles are also new.

The leader of the Nazgul in his ghost like form, is shown in a silver 5x7” poly stone frame with a swirl pattern. Had they made it a much larger, micro-scale build, I would probably be more compelled to buy it day 1." Not having a fully re-forged Anduril as well as the hilt shard of Narsil (as cool as it genuinely is!) also feels like a miss in a set this expensive. Admittedly that’s more for the books than the movies at this point in the story but we can only hope that the fully restored version of this sword appears in LotR sets yet to come… and the same for Gandalf’s Glamdring.The Oldest of Ents is shown in a rustic wood frame. Treebeard is 5x7” and the outermost measurements of the real wood rectangular frame are 8 1/2x 10 1/2”. The neighbouring structure retains the patterned roof from Elrond's chambers, although features different bands of colour. The columns underneath are absolutely stunning and I appreciate the continued integration of sand green pieces, which are ubiquitous across Rivendell. The archway looks superb, with a statuette and two undecorated birds creating a decorative frieze on top.
