Description

Trouble in the forest

In The Hobbit the dwarves and Bilbo have to cross Mirkwood, and giant spiders are waiting for them there. This set takes that moment and turns it into a small play scene with woodland, webbing and danger. With four minifigures in the box you have plenty of characters for the chase and the escape. At 298 pieces the build stays manageable, and the focus is on atmosphere rather than on a large building or vehicle.

A dark palette for a gloomy wood

Black, dark bluish grey, reddish brown and dark red define the set, exactly the colours you would expect for a menacing forest. Only 73 different part types appear among the 298 pieces, so many elements show up several times. That is handy if you want to build tree trunks, branches or rocks of your own, since identical parts combine easily into larger structures and give a coherent overall look. The result is a mood you recognise in photos at once.

For fantasy fans and collectors

Anyone who likes the Middle-earth films gets a piece of that world that fits into a bigger collection. Fantasy builders without a film connection will also find material for their own forest and cave scenes. The set comes from the first Hobbit wave of 2012, which makes it interesting for collectors who want the line complete. When buying second-hand, check that all the figures and their equipment are present. That matters most if you later want to link scenes with other sets.

Reusing the parts

The reddish brown and dark bricks suit castles, huts, bridges and woodland layouts, while the spider elements serve any spooky idea you might have. The full parts list on this page lets you verify completeness or hunt for missing elements. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which further models your existing collection can make, so you can plan new projects without buying new bricks or searching for ages. Builders who economise can often get further with existing bricks than expected.
