Barad-Dur is a visually impressive and engrossing LEGO set.
The newest LEGO Lord of the Rings is one of the most physically impressive sets ever built, although some may have some quibbles about its interior design. Announced earlier this year and due to go on sale on June 1st and 4th, LEGO 's newest Lord of the Rings set is a recreation of Barad-Dur, the legendary Black Tower of Sauron. Standing at nearly 3 feet tall, the LEGO Barad-Dur is the fifth-tallest set ever built and comes with several new LEGO bricks created just for the set.
Unlike last year's Rivendell set, which featured a set that split open to reveal its contents, Barad-Dur is in fact only half a tower, with the back end of the tower open to reveal several interior scenes. On the base of the tower is a dungeon and forge, the second story contains a dining hall , and the upper story contains a throne room and Sauron's private study, filled with plans on both the rings and the conquest of Middle-Earth.
Highlights of Barad-Dur includes a very clever way to open the gates, utilizing a hidden knob among the many rock outcroppings on the tower, and a throne room with a hidden room that contains a Palantir. Also impressive is the Eye of Sauron itself, which hangs from the top of Barad-Dur and can be adjusted to look in specific directions or angles.
