Lego’s recreation of Rivendell is actually even bigger than Barad-dur. At 6,167 pieces, Rivendell is one of the 10 largest Lego sets ever made. Unsurprisingly, it takes up a lot of space, too. The completed build is 28.5-inches wide, 19.5 inches deep, and 15 inches tall.
Rivendell is home to 15 Lego minifigures, including all of the members of the Fellowship, Bilbo Baggins, and several other characters:
- Frodo Baggins
- Samwise Gamgee (Sam)
- Gandalf the Grey
- Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry)
- Peregrin Took (Pip)
- Aragorn
- Legolas
- Gimli
- Boromir
- Bilbo Baggins
- Elrond
- Arwen
- Gloin
- 2 Elves
This highly detailed model features recreations of rooms from the movie, including Frodo’s bedroom and Elrond’s study. Rivendell is a modular build, which makes it a good one to piece together with a fellow Lord of the Rings fan; this also means you can remove sections from the main building and display them on different shelves, your desk, etc. This includes the section with the table where the pivotal Council of Elrond scene took place in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Lego’s model of Rivendell features many authentic trappings and decor from the film, including various paintings, ornate castle spires, the white gazebo, statues, archways, flowers and trees, intricate roof tiling, bridges, an elven forge, and the Shards of Narsil. The paintings and statues nod to historical events in Tolkien’s Middle-earth writings.
