The moment LEGO fans and Tolkien enthusiasts have been waiting for is finally here! For the first time ever, the LEGO Group introduces a stunning set inspired by the enchanting landscape of Middle-earth™. Get ready to embark on an adventure to The Shire™, where you can build and explore the idyllic home of hobbits with the new LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire set.
This remarkable 2,017-piece set beautifully captures the essence of Hobbiton™, featuring Bilbo Baggins’ charming hobbit-hole, the iconic Party Tree, and a plethora of beloved characters from J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendary saga. Imagine sitting down and bringing this vibrant world to life piece by piece. It’s a dream come true for anyone who has ever yearned to walk through the lush meadows of The Shire.
To celebrate this monumental launch, the LEGO Group has teamed up with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products to deliver something truly special: a mini-film featuring Sean Astin, the actor who famously portrayed Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
