Lego 10237 - The Tower of Orthanc

It is finally out!!!

... There stood a tower of marvelous shape. It was fashioned by the builders of old, who smoothed the Ring of Isengard, and yet it seemed a thing not made by the craft of Men, but riven from the bones of the earth in the ancient torment of the hills. A peak and isle of rock it was, black and gleaming hard: four mighty piers of many-sided stone were welded into one, but near the summit they opened into gaping horns, their pinnacles sharp as the points of spears, keen-edged as knives. Between them was a narrow space, and there upon a floor of polished stone, written with strange signs, a man might stand five hundred feet above the plain.
- JRR Tolkien, The Two Towers

This is definitely a monumental build, especially for Lord of The Rings Lego fans. Looming at 28-inch tall, the Tower of Orthanc set includes six floors: dungeon, entrance hall, Saruman’s throne room, alchemy room, library and the secret attic to which you can access using a secret stairway. 

The set also includes a Great Eagle, a giant Ent and five minifigs: Saruman, Grima Wormtongue, Gandalf the Grey, one Uruk-hai and the Orc Pitmaster. The black pieces make it look really cool

It is now available for everyone at the Lego shop! Go get it!
