The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell
Retiring at the end of 2026 – buy it this season if you want it
6,167 pieces · 15 minifigures · List price $499.99· Retiring soon
One of the best large display sets of recent years, and Brickset expects it to leave LEGO's range on 31 December 2026. If Rivendell is on your list, buy it now – during Insiders Weekend or Black Friday if a deal appears – but never above list price.

Good
- Huge, detailed display piece with 15 minifigures
- Under 1 kr per piece at list price
- Splits into three sections for display
Not so good
- Very large footprint (72 × 50 cm)
- Retiring – you can't wait for a 2027 sale
The facts
- 6,167 pieces and 15 minifigures. 39 cm high, 72 cm wide and 50 cm deep (LEGO.com).
- List price on LEGO.com Sweden: 6,049.90 kr (checked 3 November 2026), about 0.98 kr per piece. US $499.99, UK £429.99 (Brickset).
- On sale since March 2023. Brickset lists an exit date of 31 December 2026. LEGO does not publish exit dates itself, so treat it as the best available estimate.
Who should buy it
Lord of the Rings fans, and adult builders who want one big centrepiece and have the shelf for it. The model splits into three sections – the tower, the council circle and the pavilion with the river and bridge – so it is easier to display than the footprint suggests.
Who should skip it
Anyone short on space, or mainly after the minifigures: 72 × 50 cm takes a whole shelf.
Price verdict
Under 1 kr per piece is reasonable for a licensed display set this size. Because it is retiring, waiting for a 2027 sale is not an option – after 31 December you rely on leftover store stock and the second-hand market, where prices can rise.
Verdict: Buy before the end of the year. Our target is 5,150 kr (about 15% under LEGO.com's list price). If no store gets close by mid-December and you really want it, list price is still defensible.
How we set target prices: the target is a level we consider good value, based on price per piece and comparable sets. It is not a prediction that any store will reach it.
