Elronds study with famous paintings from the history of Middle–earth
Section two, featuring:
An elven tower – featuring five Elven statues of unnamed famous warriors from the past
Second three, featuring:

The set also comes with 15 minifigures including all nine members of the Fellowship; Gandalf the Grey, all four hobbits (Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Merriadoc Merry Brandybuck and Peregrin Pippin Took), Legolas, Gimli, Boromir and Aragorn. They are joined by minifigures of Elrond, Arwen, Bilbo Baggins plus additional elves and a dwarf (Gloin) are also included.
LEGO and The Lord of the Rings fans alike will also receive several new LEGO elements from the world of Middle–earth, including: Bilbos sword, Sting, the broken shards of Narsil, Aragorns ranger sword, Boromirs sword, as well as numerous dwarven axes and elvish blades to ensure the Fellowship are well armed for their quest ahead.
Talking about the set, LEGO Design Master, Mike Psaiki said, We know many of our fans have been anticipating a set like this for a long-time but a great LEGO The Lord of the Rings set is never late, it arrives precisely when it means to! It was important to us that we created something really special in this recreation of Rivendell. We aimed to add as much detail as possible and create an engaging experience throughout the build to delight fans recreating scenes or proudly displaying Elronds home. We are really pleased with the final design and how we have brought Rivendell to life in brick form.
