Lego’s towering Barad-dûr set is now available for Lego Insiders

Thankfully, Lego’s loyalty program is free to join.

It’s an odd pairing when you consider the summery 132-piece set is nowhere near as menacing as Sauron’s fiery stronghold in Mordor, but hey, at least it’s something you can use to distract the kids while you focus on building your own dark tower. In case you need a refresher, Lego’s latest Lord of the Rings set comes with 5,471 pieces that, once assembled, depict Sauron’s black tower and fiery eye, which remains one of the more iconic visuals from Peter Jackson’s film trilogy. Lego has added in a bunch of other details Lord of the Rings fans will appreciate, from a throne room and dining hall for orcs to a lava pit with a skeleton cage.
