Summary
- Lego is rumored to be preparing a reveal for the third Lord of the Rings set since it rebooted its collection.
- The leak suggests a 2017-piece Bag End set will be released on April 1, 2025.
- If real, it will join the Barad-dur and Rivendell sets currently available.
Lego released more than 140 new sets on New Year’s Day, but despite that, there’s still no official word on when something more from Middle-earth will be turned into toy bricks. That might be changing very soon as a new leak suggests a set modeled after Bag End will be here in 2025, and judging by the rumored release date, we won’t have long to wait until Lego shows it off.
Even though Lego has been creating The Lord of the Rings sets for years, their partnership got something of a soft reboot in 2023 when a Rivendell Lego set was released. That was followed by a Barad-dur set in 2024, and if Lego continues its one Lord of the Rings set per year pattern, then it stands to reason there’s something new from its world coming soon.

According to Falconbricks, the pieces for the next Lord of the Rings Lego set are in place, and it will be a recreation of Bag End fans can build themselves. Details regarding the rumored set are naturally pretty sparse since it hasn’t been officially revealed yet, however, the leak claims that it will be another big one at 2,017 pieces and be released on April 1, 2025.
Even though a Lego set with that many pieces is big, if the leak is accurate, it will be the smallest Lord of the Rings set of the three released since 2023 by quite some distance. The Rivendell set is 6,167 pieces, and last year’s Barad-dur set is slightly smaller at 5,471. That will mean the Bag End set will almost certainly be considerably cheaper than the other two Lord of the Rings sets which cost $500 and $460, respectively.
A potential price for the Bag End set wasn’t revealed in the leak, but its piece count suggests it will be around $200. Still expensive, but considerably more affordable than the only Lord of the Rings sets available right now. Everything else from Middle-earth that has been turned into Lego was retired long ago so having something that doesn’t cost as much as a brand-new PS5 in the Lord of the Rings collection would be nice.
One of those retired sets includes a previous Lego version of Bag End released more than a decade ago. Images of it might give you an idea of how the new set will look, but 2025’s take on Lego Bag End will almost certainly be more elaborate.
While everyone else slowly powers back up for the new year, Lego has hit the ground running. New Year’s Day is typically the busiest day of the year for Lego, and on top of the 140 new sets it released, it has also made Zelda’s Great Deku Tree set available on Amazon for the first time. The same goes for Fortnite’s debut Lego sets which come with in-game bonuses when bought on Amazon.
