LEGO Icons 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr has an eye on us and we've got ours on the finer details of the set, spotting a few secrets.
10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr is coming to shelves on June 1 for LEGO Insiders and June 4 widely, bringing with it the first-ever Sauron minifigure as well as the most accurate build for the Eye of Sauron yet. You can pick it up next month starting from £399.99 / $469.99 / €469.99 and there's an exclusive gift-with-purchase on the way too.
Our eyes may not be quite as large or fiery as the one at the top of the tower, but we've still managed to spot a few interesting secrets and details within 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr before it launches next month.
5 – Minas Tirith's tree
The crystal ball within 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr has an interesting apparition inside as a printed element offers a glimpse at Minas Tirith, which has yet to be recreated as a LEGO set. For now, this printed piece will have to do.
On a shelf at the top of the tower, a familiar item can be seen on a sticker. It seems that Sauron or at least one of his servants is a LEGO enthusiast as they've displayed 40693 The Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast, which is only available to those that purchase 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr from June 1 to 7. Technically, you'll have at least one copy of the gift should you miss the launch window but one that you won't be able to interact with.
3 – New helmets
At least four new varieties of helmets are featured in 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr as well as a new shield piece. These are equipped by the orcs as well as Sam and Frodo and could be ideal to pair with 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale and the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons Collectible Minifigures series. There's also Sauron and the Mouth of Sauron's helmets, though they are much more specific to the characters.
2 – A more accurate map
The map of Middle-earth that was first featured in 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell has now been expanded in 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr, keeping Minas Tirith but swapping Rivendell for Helm's Deep. Isengard's location has been moved too, seemingly being more accurate than that of 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell.
1 – Mount Doom
A small section of Mount Doom is featured in 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr to recreate more scenes from within Mordor. It's not quite on the same scale as Barad-dûr, but it should suffice without drawing attention away from the main model.
