LEGO Barad-dûr Captures the Lore and Core of Mordor Underlying much of Tolkien’s writings, especially in his The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is a deeply embedded theme of technology versus nature.

Incredibly, if fans purchase more than one The Lord of the Rings: Barad-Dûr LEGO set, they can stack the tower portions together to create an even taller dark tower.

LEGO’s latest The Lord of the Rings set takes us on a truly glorious journey into darkness, one that, sometimes literally, and sometimes metaphorically, glows, burns, seeps, cuts, surprises ...

Barad-dûr, home of The One Ring’s creator Sauron and the location of his fireball-like Eye of Sauron in the films, is now officially a 5,471-piece Lego set worthy of an epic assault.

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.

Brick by brick, we piece together the massive new Lord of the Rings LEGO set of Barad-dûr, Sauron's dark tower, topped with the iconic glowing orange eye.

The Barad-dûr LEGO set is a big build that includes lots of Easter eggs and references to the movies. It also comes with 10 minifigures, including Sauron, Mouth of Sauron, an Orc, Frodo, Sam ...

If nothing else, the spiky structure in The Rings of Power Season 2’s teaser fits Barad-dûr’s general description. It’s a dark tower situated in a shadowy realm.

Along with the tower itself, and a glowing center brick for the Eye of Sauron, the Barad-dûr set will include 10 minifigures, including Sauron, the Mouth of Sauron, an Orc, Frodo, Sam, Gollum ...

LEGO reveals that at Barad-Dûr’s summit “lies the Eye of Sauron that rotates in various directions and features a light brick to make the eye glow.” We can’t wait to see this eye in action.
