Fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit will want to clear some space on their shelves for the new LEGO The Shire set. LEGO’s latest Middle-earth masterpiece brings to life the heart of the Shire, where the meals are hearty, the gossip is ever-flowing, and the atmosphere is as festive as Bilbo Baggins’ eleventy-first birthday party. With 2017 pieces, this set recreates the iconic hobbit village in stunning detail and is packed with interactive features that make it feel like you’re right there among the hobbits.
The Shire set features Bilbo’s cozy hobbit-hole, complete with a round green door and a richly furnished interior, ready for a peaceful life full of planting, singing, and, of course, plenty of food. You can transform a burning letter into The One Ring, make Bilbo vanish with a turn of a dial, or even recreate the memorable firework dragon scene with interchangeable heads for Merry and Pippin.
This set also includes some of the most memorable characters from the story: Bilbo Baggins, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Samwise Gamgee, Rosie Cotton, Gandalf the Grey, and others. In total, you’ll get nine LEGO minifigures that bring the magic of the Shire to life.
Other notable inclusions? Gandalf’s horse and cart, fireworks, a firework dragon figure, and the Party Tree, where Bilbo’s legendary birthday party took place. You’ll even get a party pavilion and Bilbo’s book, which can be displayed either open or closed for extra charm.
Priced at $269.99, the LEGO The Shire set will be available on April 5, 2025. However, LEGO Insiders will have an exclusive early access opportunity starting on April 2. This set follows the successful launches of LEGO Rivendell and LEGO Barad-dûr, continuing the epic LEGO journey through Middle-earth.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living in the peaceful Shire, surrounded by friends, fireworks, and good food, this set is your chance to bring that dream to life—one brick at a time!
