What people are saying about 10354 The Lord of the Rings: The Shire
Early reviews of
By direct comparison,
Despite these challenges, everyone praises the shaping of
"Had Bag End and Gandalf's cart formed this whole set and cost perhaps £179.99, $199.99 or €199.99, I would have been happy. Unfortunately, a selection of superfluous items from Bilbo's party are also included and the set costs £229.99, $269.99 or €269.99, which is far too expensive."
Brickset
"I was left mostly satisfied with the set, but a little underwhelmed by the building experience which involved a lot of basic brick stacking and fewer wow moments than the previous LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings sets."
New Elementary
"If you love Bag End, then you probably want this set and the build is good enough that you’ll be quite happy with it. If you are just looking for one big ticket Lord of the Rings set, though, then Rivendell is a better value."

| Pros of 10354 The Lord of the Rings: The Shire | Cons of 10354 The Lord of the Rings: The Shire |
|---|---|
| The most complete LEGO Bag End set so far | Hefty price tag |
| Recreates two classic The Lord of the Rings sets | Overly simplistic building techniques |
| Appropriate side builds... | ...that take up budget that would have otherwise gone towards the main model |
Our verdict: A pricey but serene LEGO The Lord of the Rings entry with a surprisingly split focus from the other two sets.
