The Beacons Are Lit: The Lord of the Rings Shire Lego Set Coming on April 5

Estimated read time 2 min read


Whether you’re a Baggins, Took, Brandybuck or Proudfoot, all are invited to a long-expected party starting April 5. Lego has announced its latest Lord of the Rings set, this time it’s based in the Shire, the home of Hobbits Bilbo, Frodo and Samwise Gamgee. 

This set is based on a very specific scene from the book and movies: It’s Bilbo’s birthday and he is having a party to celebrate. Gandalf has brought fireworks and while the party is happening, Merry and Pippin set off the biggest skyrocket, a representation of Smaug from Bilbo’s adventures. 

The set is full of tiny details like the fireworks tent, the party tree and the cake with giant candles. Fun fact: The candles in the movie were so hot they set the fake cake on fire. You can see it burning in the theatrical release. The fact that this Lego set shows that is so fun. It even has the firework Smaug for you to fly over the party.

If you’re a Lego Insider member, you can shop this set early, starting on April 2, so you can get your hands on it before others. It comes with over 2,000 pieces, including eight mini figures of various hobbits and one Gandalf. It even has Rosy Cotton, Sam Gamgee’s future wife. It’s made for adults (ages 18 and up), due to the complexity and small sizes of the pieces (which can be a choking hazard). 

But if you’re itching to buy something immediately, take a look at the best deals you can shop now during Amazon’s Big Spring sale. This sale event started today and lasts until March 31 and has plenty of Lego to check out.
