LEGO has unveiled a new Book Nook diorama set that is on the way as fans get to return to Middle-earth once again. Witness the epic battle between Gandalf the Grey and the monster from below, the Balrog. Coming in at 1,201 pieces, this new Book Nook comes in at 17.5" long when fully extended or can fit snugly between your J.R.R. Tolkien books. This set creatively reimagines the fiery showdown on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm with a brick-built Balrog with posable limbs and wings.
The fall of Gandalf the Grey is faithfully captured here, with a LEGO Lord of the Rings minifigure also coming with this set. Gandalf will come with a sword, his magic staff, and a brick at the base of the set, featuring the iconic quote, "You shall not pass!" These new LEGO Book Nook sets are very interesting and creative, and so far, we have seen original works like Sherlock Holmes along with other iconic releases like Harry Potter. Hopefully, more sets like the Lord of the Rings Balrog are on the way, pre-orders are already live for $129.99, and it is set for a June 1, 2025 release date.
