The LEGO Lord of the Rings Smeagol & Deagol Free GWP Set Deal Is Back

Back in April, The LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: The Shire #10354 set launched right here at the LEGO Shop priced at $269.99. At the time a somewhat surprising Gift With Purchase (GWP) promotion was attached to the release, but sold out quickly. That promotion was the The Lord of the Rings: Smeagol & Deagol #40761 set, recreating Sméagol and Déagol’s discovery of The One Ring in The Return of the King, which ends badly for Déagol. The set includes a rotatable boat and accessories like The One Ring and fishing gear. It’s quite a sinister choice for LEGO, and we’re sure that it helped to sell more than a few of The Shire sets. That said, if you missed out on the promotion, your second chance is happening right now.

The Smeagol & Deagol GWP set is back as a free bonus with purchases of The Shire set until September 24th or while supplies last. As for the LOTR Shire LEGO set itself, it will include 2017 pieces and 9 Minifigures: Bilbo Baggins, Frodo, Mrs. Proudfoot, Farmer Proudfoot, Merry and Pippin (with interchangeable heads to recreate the dragon firework scene), Rosie, Samwise and Gandalf the Grey.

LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: The Shire #10354

The design of the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire set is inspired by the Peter Jackson films, mostly taking its inspiration from Bilbo Baggins’ eleventy-first birthday celebration from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Naturally, the diorama is loaded with features and nods to the films, which includes a detailed interior and interactive elements like the ability to transform a burning letter into The One Ring and make Bilbo vanish with a turn of a dial. You’ll also find Gandalf’s horse and cart, fireworks, a firework dragon figure, the Party Tree, a party pavilion, and Bilbo’s book, which can be displayed open or closed.

Samwise Gamgee himself, Sean Astin, had the following to say about the project: “Not all those who wander are lost… especially when travelling through the astonishing detail of the Shire made out of LEGO bricks! From the smallest hobbit-hole to the grandest fireworks, building this set brought back so many fond memories of Middle-earth. Now fans can journey there themselves and build their own adventures.”
