Printed tiles surround the pedestal where the One Ring rests, reflecting the star-shaped pattern from the onscreen location. We are really pleased with the final design and how we have brought Rivendell to life in brick form. It truly took an entire fellowship of LEGO designers who brought Rivendell to life such as: Ashwin Visser, Senior Graphic Designer, Michael Psiaki, Design Master, Wes Talbott, Design Master, Chris Perron, Lead Designer, Djordje Djordjevic, Madison O’Neil,Senior Graphic Designers. If it wasn't going to be the full council, I would keep the temple guards and Jocasta Nu, as well as Plo Koon, Shaak Ti, Agen Kolar, Adi Galia, Kit Fisto, Saessee Tiin, and Oppo Ranciss from the council. These are accessible from the back and rotating the model also reveals interesting details behind the waterfall, where a frog has taken up residence alongside several more mushrooms.

LEGO Lord of the Rings reviews have been part of the blog since the very early days, and some of my earliest LEGO reviews from 2012 were 9470 Shelob Attacks, 9469 Gandalf Arrives and 9472 Attack on Weathertop (they’re pretty cringe and I should re-review them with better photography), and I also count 10237 The Tower of Orthanc as one of my favourite LEGO sets ever – which has now been supplanted by 10316 Rivendell.The tooth pieces clipped underneath are effective too, recreating the Elven pavilions from the films with far greater accuracy than I had anticipated. Remarkably, a unique accessory has been developed to represent Elendil's shattered blade and this weapon looks absolutely perfect. Young builders can launch into their own intergalactic adventures with LEGO® | Disney and Pixar’s Lightyear.

I wouldn't mind it if the build was Separatist focused since they likely won't include more interesting separatist droids or figures.The archway looks superb, with a statuette and two undecorated birds creating a decorative frieze on top. I hope this is LEGO re-entering the LoTR theme with a bang, and that this is not as far as it goes or indicative of the size of future releases. These statues actually adorn the base of a ruined tower in the film, situated between the council courtyard and another tower that remains standing. These correspond exactly with Rivendell's film appearances, with sign pieces flawlessly completing the roof slope. The padding underneath his dark brown robe displays nice texture and I like the decoration around his collar.
