Feeling book nook sticker shock? Take a page from Joe Lam’s itty bitty Balrog

LEGO’s Balrog Book Nook set has many Lord of the Rings fans (including our reviewer) feeling as conflicted as Smeagol, simultaneously coveting the brick-built Bane of Durin while gagging (*GOL-LUM!*) at the price. Joe Lam solved this riddle by building a Book Nook small enough for a Took, and readers, we are shook. The itty bitty Balrog’s grimspawn body towers over trophy Gandalf. Joe’s version even folds up like the real deal and is sized perfectly to rest between your matchbooks. If you like Joe’s “The one I can afford” take on the Balrog, his spin on the Luxo Jr. lamp is even more budget-friendly.

LEGO Icons 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook – A study in plastic [Review]

Book Nooks are a cozy trend in decor and DIY crafting in which you assemble a diorama that fits between books on a shelf offering a window into a miniature world. They’re also the latest format that LEGO is experimenting with in finding new ways for adult fans to assemble and display brick-built models, starting with LEGO Icons 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook. The set is exclusive to Barnes & Noble booksellers and LEGO online and retail stores beginning on June 1st, where it will retail for US $129.99 | CAN $149.99 | UK £109.99. A folding façade of 221B Baker Street full of literary easter eggs, architectural flourishes, and minifigs of iconic characters that can be tucked away on any bookshelf? In theory, it’s a match made in millennial aesthetic heaven. But is this the book nook we deserve or just a red herring? Come, Watson! The game is afoot!

The new LEGO Icons 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook promises set assembly between reads [News]

As LEGO continues to direct the sets in its Icons line toward adults, there’s a definite effort to craft the models to the places that we older LEGO fans like to display them. And with LEGO Icons 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook, we see a set custom-made to occupy bookshelf real estate. Consisting of 1,359 pieces and boasting five minifigures, this new ode to everyone’s favorite detective folds in on itself to roughly a book size, capable of squeezing in-between volumes while offering a set with more depth than width. The two halves can also be opened up, showing the façade of 221B Baker Street along with a bookshop and a second, unnamed residence. Those looking to get their hands on Sherlock & Co. will find it on LEGO store shelves beginning on June 1st, where it will retail for US $129.99 | CAN $149.99 | UK £109.99.
