While the dwarves stayed, Bilbo went back to his Hobbit-Hole to care take of his lovely garden. We hope you’ve had lots of fun playing with the LEGO® The Hobbit™ sets!
Bilbo’s adventure may be over, but yours doesn’t have to be! You can still explore Middle-Earth and play as Lord of the Rings characters in LEGO DIMENSIONS™! For the video games, see Lego The Lord of the Rings (video game) and Lego The Hobbit (video game). Lego The Lord of the Rings and Lego The Hobbit are two Lego themes based on the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films by Peter Jackson.[3] These are in turn based on the fictional world Middle-earth from the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien. The first preliminary pictures of the upcoming sets were shown on December 20, 2011.[5] Sets from the themes are currently available to buyers in North America, Europe, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The first wave of sets for The Lord of the Rings were released in May 2012, while the sets for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey were released in December 2012. A second wave of sets for The Lord of the Rings was released in 2013 with sets for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug were released in December 2013.
A third wave of sets from The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies was released on October 15, 2014. Dead Men of Dunharrow[16] King of the Dead[16] Necromancer of Dol Guldur[15] Bain (son of Bard) A video game titled Lego The Lord of the Rings was released on November 13, 2012. A board game made from Lego bricks and figures titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was released as item No. 3920 in 2012.[18] It was announced that there will be a Lego The Hobbit video game which was released on April 8, 2014. It covers the first two Hobbit films unlike Lego Star Wars: The Video Game and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game which contained the new film before its actual release. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z aa ab ac ad ae afOver the last ten years or so, LEGO has been producing sets that contain hundreds or even thousands of pieces more – and cost a lot more – than what we can find in their normal product ranges.
The company refers to these sets as LEGO Exclusives. This year LEGO released an unusually large number of LEGO Exclusive-size sets, so I thought to take some time and research the largest LEGO sets of all time, compare them, and share the results with you. So what exactly qualifies as a LEGO Exclusive set? There are actually a number of potential factors, such as large piece-count, high price, limited production, special licensing, etc. For this article, I chose to focus on the piece-count and the price. U, I was able to narrow down my search to sets that contain more than 3,000 pieces, or have an original retail price of $300 or more. It turns out that as of now, LEGO produced 15 sets with more than 3,000 pieces. The top ten of these are listed below: While this list is very straightforward, it does not take into consideration how the sets compare in prices. Looking at the Brickset database again, we find that LEGO released twelve sets with an original retail price of $300 or more. S
o to get a combined list, I added the positions of each set from both lists together. To complicate things however, some of the $300+ sets did not contain more than 3,000 pieces, and some of the sets I listed above did not retail for over $300 (both of which are due to LEGO’s inconsistent pricing). This of course greatly alters the results. Taking everything into consideration I ended up with the following list of what can be called the eleven largest LEGO sets of all time. The list shows the set’s name and number, the piece count, the original retail price, and the year it was released. As you can see, the order of the sets in the second list changed greatly from the first. This is mostly because of the extra-high prices of the licensed sets. Looking at the year of release, it is interesting to note that five out of the eleven sets are from this year! Fortunately all five are good sets, and in a wide variety of themes, so there is something for everyone. Our wallets may not be so happy however.
There is one slight issue with my final list however. There are three LEGO sets that should be on the list, but are not. These are the #200430 LEGO Serious Play Identity and Landscape Kit, the #2000431 LEGO Serious Play Connections Kit, and the LEGO Serious Play #2000409 Window Exploration Bag. These three sets retail for $790, $755, and $485 respectively, making the first two the most expensive LEGO products in history. Why are they not on the list? I chose not to include them because they are not standard retail sets. According to LEGO’s own description, they are designed to enhance business performance through building with LEGO bricks in timed workshops. That’s not quite the same as what the #10188 Death Star was designed for, but if you are interested to check them out, you can find them at the LEGO Serious Play section of the Online LEGO Shop. While the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon continues to occupy the first place as the largest standard retail set, keep in mind that these lists can and probably will change in a few years, as LEGO releases more massive sets.
