Lego unveils adorable Sauron minifigure in new Lord of the Rings set

Lego’s upcoming set inspired by The Lord of the Rings is set to deliver a thrilling experience for fans, featuring Sauron in both a striking bust and a charming minifigure form. The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet set is scheduled for release on March 1, coinciding with Aragorn’s birthday.

This new 538-piece Lego Icons set allows enthusiasts to construct Sauron’s iconic helmet as depicted in Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, complete with a stylish black display stand and a name plaque. Additionally, the set includes a mini Sauron figure holding The One Ring, making it a fantastic addition for those who have already splurged on the $459.99 Lego The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr set. For those not fully committed to the Mordor collection, this set offers a more affordable way to snag a Sauron minifigure.

Priced at $69.99, The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet set is currently available for pre-order ahead of its March 1 launch. The helmet model measures over 13 inches (33 cm) in height, 5 inches (13 cm) in width, and 5 inches (13 cm) in depth.

In recent years, Lego and Warner Bros. have introduced a diverse range of Lord of the Rings sets, from BrickHeadz versions of beloved characters like Gandalf, Frodo, and Legolas to larger, more intricate sets based on iconic locations like the Shire and Rivendell. The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet set occupies a mid-range position in Lego’s lineup, targeting builders aged 18 and older.
