LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings 10316 Rivendell: Middle Earth just got bigger [Review]

LEGO’s standalone The Lord of the Rings theme is back after the better part of a decade-long hiatus, and it’s come back with a roar. A few small BrickHeadz sets have already been released, but the star of the newly revived theme is a massive diorama of Rivendell, the Last Homely House East of the Sea, where the Fellowship of the Ring is formed. The three-part diorama of the elven home spans almost 30 inches and is the first to include the entire fellowship together, with 21 minifigures in total. 10316 Rivendell includes 6,167 pieces and will be available for LEGO VIP members starting March 5, with general availability March 8. It will retail for US $499.99 | CAN $669.99 | UK £429.99.

The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews.

Why pilot alone when you can do it with your best friend?

As for his latest rover, Chris Perron insists that the two androids piloting the vehicle are best friends. And you know what? I think I believe them. Because there’s nobody else I would take with me on an adventure to a planet covered in LEGO roof slopes. Driving in terrain like this looks like lots of fun, especially in a rover with some robust chassis — just like Chris’ build.

LEGO Ideas reveals 21339 BTS Dynamite — a 749-piece tribute to the band’s most popular music video [News]

Today, following a couple of record-breaking tweets teasing the fans, LEGO finally reveals the new Ideas 21339 BTS Dynamite set. The 749-piece build featuring all the members of the Korean boy band as seen in the iconic music video, will go on sale March 1, for US $99.99 | CAN $129.99 | UK £89.99.

BTS ‘Dynamite’ was the band’s first single with lyrics written entirely in English. Additionally, the music video premiered in a timezone friendly to fans in the US. With the new set LEGO takes a similar approach, but instead of the US and Europe, it aims at the Philippines and South Korea — countries known for the biggest number of the band’s fans. Hence the unconventional embargo time (nearly 10 hours earlier than most LEGO announcements).
