Tower of Orthanc

At a Lego Fan Event in Lisbon Portugal Lego has unveiled a new exclusive Lord of the Rings set.

It is the 10237 The Tower of Orthanc. This is one of the most iconic structures in the LOTR movies and is the literal centerpiece in the Battle of Isengard.

Also in this battle were the Ents so we are glad to see an Ent in this exciting set.

There are five minifigures in this set:
Saruman
Grima Wormtongue
Gandalf the Grey
Uruk-hai
Orc Pitmaster

Besides the minifigures there are the Ent, a brick built figure, and the eagle, special mold.

The entire set is 2359 pieces and stands 73 centimeters high. Check out more images on the Brickset Photostream.

The designer video was also released this weekend:

The set will be available from Lego Shop@Home from the beginning of July.

10224 Town Hall

It is finally here!

The new modular building, Town Hall.

It is the biggest modular so far and it is an impressive one. It comes with 2766 pieces, 535 pieces more than the Fire Brigade.

It is rumored to be released in March.

As for the price......

It is probably going to cost anywhere between 160 to 180 euro's. This because there a lot more pieces in the set.

So start saving everybody!
