About LEGO The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings brought Peter Jackson's film trilogy of J.R.R. Tolkien's books into LEGO in 2012, the same year The Hobbit got sets of its own. The sets cover all three films, from Gandalf's cart arriving in the Shire and the fight on Weathertop to the Mines of Moria, Shelob's lair and the Black Gate. The hobbits stand on short legs, a head below the rest of the Fellowship.
2012 LEGO Sets
2012 was a landmark year highlighted by LEGO’s 80th anniversary and major licensed expansions. LEGO The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit joined the lineup alongside Marvel and DC Super Heroes, establishing enduring partnerships with both comic universes. LEGO Friends debuted, introducing mini-doll figures and Heartlake City, becoming one of LEGO’s most successful modern themes. Other launches included Monster Fighters, Disney Princess, and Dino. Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Pharaoh’s Quest, Kingdoms, and Harry Potter retired, though Harry Potter would later return in 2018.
