Don't judge the LEGO The Lord of the Rings Balrog Book Nook by its cover

LEGO Icons 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook is days away from launch – but don't make your mind up on it yet.

10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook might be designed to slot between the covers of your favourite books, but it shouldn't be judged by its metaphorical cover. Brick Fanatics' Jack has got his hands on the upcoming The Lord of the Rings book nook early and, despite some fans having reservations about it, has found that there's a lot to love.

Priced at £109.99 / $129.99 / €119.99 for its 1,201 pieces, the set offers a new perspective on one of the franchise's most iconic moments. From the best buildable Balrog figure we've had so far to a quirky take that forces the perspective of the dynamic scene, it offers a very different experience to the other two book nooks it launches alongside, 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook and 76450 Book Nook: Hogwarts Express.
