I've said it before, this set looks like a MOC in the best way possible. Stunning!

[CC-iisy]

I'll 100% pick up this set not only just over the fact this set is a Top Tier Lego Set, but also to show support for the Lord of the Rings Theme to come back. I got every set of the 2012-14 Lord of the Rings/ Hobbit wave, and I want this theme to come back.

Ok, a few things: Pippin is actually holding a Lembas bread, not lettuce - the little beige square is supposed to represent the bread itself, if you look at the scene from the movie, you can see the bread is, indeed, square, and the leaf under it is just the leaf that the bread is wrapped in, only unwrapped.
Other than that, think this is an amazing set, and if I had the money and/or desk space, I would definitely buy this. One thing that bugs me, though, is the broken Narsil piece, and specifically because they didn't include the full-sized, reforged Andúril sword. Really hoping we get one for Aragorn in the rumored Barad-dûr set, as it would make sense for him to have it there, if it's going to be based on the third film (maybe we could even get Aragorn in his "king" battle armor?)

9 Rings were given to the men of earth who designed this amazing set! Great job!

[trapskilla]

Damn. You can really tell the designers that made this CARED. I wish Lego Star Wars designers would put in the same level of love.

I can imagine there eventually being a hyper-detailed Bag End set down the line

My biggest disappointment with this set is the lack of balconies. When I think of Rivendell, one of the first thing I think of is characters talking on the balconies overlooking the valley.

[ThisIsRobinYK]

Legit, my only problem is I feel the previous versions of Legolas had a more accurate hair piece. This new one feels too thick if that makes sense. But that's really such a non-issue since you can just swap out the new piece for the old one.

[bluegoose]

The Eye of Sauron underneath the council is a really cool little easter egg. Not only is the eye looking directly at the ring from below, but it might also be a reference to what Elrond says; "his eye is fixed on Rivendell"... his eye is straight up fixed onto Rivendell here, so that quote is taken literally.

[mocsandcustoms]

Honestly I think this is easily one of the best-looking sets they've ever made. It's kind of strange though to base bringing back more sets for the theme off of the sales of a $500 set that will likely be inaccessible price wise to a lot of people, it might have made more sense to try and gauge interest with a set in the $100-200 range.

I can't imagine paying 500 Euro for a dust magnet but... that's a drop-dead-gorgeous, almost perfect dust magnet. It's so detailed! The entire Fellowship in one set, too. So many angles it barely looks like Lego from afar. *The roof!* For once that's a dust magnet i'd love to have.

My wife and I got this for Christmas and it arrived earlier this month. We are in our early 30s and this is our first Lego set with instructions. Growing up, we got a bucket of legos from our parents and said create lol. This is amazing and so much fun to do. We have a toddler and we work on this when he goes to bed at night. It is a fun date activity for us to do. Worth every cent! It is even better in person. Also, get the lights for it. Makes the set pop and so cool when the room is dark and Rivendell is all lit up. ***We are big Harry Potter fans and have made Lego purchases. We hope more Lord of the Rings sets are coming down the pipe. We are VERY INTERESTED.

LOTR is very special to me, it defined a huge part of my life. To see LEGO release one of the best sets it ever made being a LOTR set blows my mind on so many levels! A must own for me!!

[TheAdoringFan]

It was so funny when he builds up the anticipation and begins to lift the council section then says “the eye of Saruman!” 💀💀

[Nedmac]

This set is truly stunning! The moc-like level of detail is unreal, and the variety of intricate techniques, combined with the amount of minifigures, makes this potentially the best set Lego has put out in the past year!

[BrettOLive]

Great looking set LEGO needs to explore a New Death Star Set!

[Altersentia]

The fact that there are so many new molds makes me think they're 100% bringing the theme back. With that said, I wonder if they would consider making sets for the shadow of Mordor games?

[MrCharrrles]

"holding lettuce" bro do you even LOTR lol

[myrongoingbuggie]

great video! I just want to offer what I think the paintings reference:
17:22 That looks like a famous ancient Elven city from long before the Lord of the Rings events. Since it's on a rock, and has a high tower in the center, it might be Gondolin, a famous city secluded in a ring of mountains that was ultimately destroyed through betrayal. It could also be Minas Ithil, a location featured in the LOTR movies themselves as the creepy green castle of the Witch King (Minas Morgul). Minas Ithil was white and beautiful before it was conquered and fouled by the Witch King, and this painting fits that image pretty well (especially with the river in front).

17:27 The first thing that comes to mind is the voyage of Earendil the Half-Elven: after a certain point also in ancient times, Morgoth (the Satan of Middle Earth) had successfully destroyed all Elven, Mannish, and Dwarven kingdoms from the initial waves of immigration and creation. All the Elves had retreated in hopelessness to a last remaining haven in the southwestern coast. Earendil, born of a man and elf, hence Half-Elven, embarked on a bold journey with his similarly half-elven wife to plead to the then-still-on-earth archangels, known as the Valar, to divinely intervene against Morgoth on behald of the despairing races of Middle Earth

but his ship was famously white and beautiful, whereas this ship is pretty ... meh. So it might just be a generic sea voyage, or even a reference to the then current events of Elvendom in Middle Earth, where many of them were expatriating it back to their Holy Lands beyond this world

17:25 - That city is _probably_ Gondolin (where Sting and Glamdring are from -and where Glorfindel lived in the First Age who i hoped the blond smith was but alas yet again the greatest elf is cut from an adaption- ), and the ship could be depicting one of Eärendil's (Elrond's dad) voyages
Edit: as pointed out the city's more likely to be Ost-In-Edhil
