A massive Lego the Lord of the Rings set that is based on Rivendell’s is believed to be coming in 2023. And it might look similar to these custom-built builds…
The next 3 LEGO The Lord of the Rings BrickHeadz double-packs could be just the beginning of the LEGO Group’s return to Middle-earth The latest offering is LEGO Icons sets 10316 rumored to be a massive 500-dollar model of Rivendell. What exactly it will include is still unclear at the moment – will it be minifigure size? Microscale? It’s based on LotR or The Hobbit? We can get some ideas of what it could look like from the numerous custom designs available on the internet.
Although none of these models could be a perfect fit for the price range at 10316 dollars, these five models are good as any to think about ways that you and the LEGO Group could explore the Middle-earth world and might even help to define the direction it’s likely to take.
Microscale LEGO Rivendell
It’s no secret that the LEGO Group isn’t a beginner to miniature models The initial Harry Potter direct-to-consumer set following a reboot has been 71043 Hogwarts Castle, built entirely distinct from minifigures and this could be an way to build Rivendell. It’s a scale that at least two builders have already tackled as well.
What will happen to Lego Idea users bald_bonsai’s Rivendell project – 20th Film Anniversary project is a bit bleak in light of recent rumors however it does give us a glimpse of what the microscale Rivendell will appear to be. The build for their birthday is comprised of gold miniature figures, similar to those in the Lego Harry Potter 20th anniversary sets – shows Rivendell with stunning quality at this size however, with the majority of the attention on the rockwork surrounding it It’s unlikely that the model would be worth $500.
Bonobo’s lapsed Lego ideas Rivendell project provides a different way to approach the microscale concept by zooming in on a few of the major structures in the valley. With this build pack that is square-based 258 pieces, it’s simple to imagine how the LEGO Group can make it into the realm of a set worth $500 by expanding the area around it and resulting in the same model as 71043 Hogwarts Castle. What a thrill that would be however, is to be debated – is Rivendell’s structure truly have the look and feel of Hogwarts?
Minifigure-scale LEGO Rivendell
Although these microscale models are a joy to look at the models, it seems like LEGO Group is LEGO Group is most likely inclined to explore Rivendell in miniature-figure size. But is it a realistic concept, considering the size of the locale?
Three minifigure-sized models of Rivendell is the smallest of the three, and comes via Lego Idea. Anduin1970’s idea was completed prior to the time it was approved by the Idea team enacted the limit of 3,000 pieces, and the result is an astonishing 13,000 parts. Although the scope of the set is too big for a officially licensed Lego collection, it is possible that we could imagine that the Lego Group adopting its modular design that permits Rivendell to be modified according to your preferences.
The user of the Rebrickable LegoMocLoc is released instructions for a larger miniature figure-scale Rivendell that clocks at over 21,000 pieces. It’s certainly not within the scope of a product that’s officially licensed however, this model is a fantastic illustration of the style that it is the LEGO Group will like to create with its Rivendell. Rivendell. The methods, colors and construction are all similar to official LEGO sets (nothing stands out as too complicated or fragile) So it’s not difficult to imagine the authentic Lego The Lord of the Rings set that offers just the smallest portion of this model.
Alice Finch and David Frank’s extremely ambitious and effective Rivendell construction is the best instance of how this setting can be created using bricks, however at around 200,000 pieces, it’ll never be a dream for the majority of us. However, there are designs that can easily influence (or at the very least, be seen in) the final set of bricks: the brighter color scheme, for instance or the specific locations that are recreated in the intricate, miniature-sized model.
We’re waiting for confirmation that the Lego Rivendell set is in the works at all, so treat everything with a pinch salt at the moment Based on the images above We think a minifigure-sized set that even offers one part of Rivendell might be a viable possibility.
