Such an awesome set!
on March 24, 2026
Posted by: AshleyH
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Legos will always get five stars from me! They are our favorite thing around my household. My kids and myself can work on Lego sets for hours. This one is especially awesome because we love LOTR! We were ecstatic to get this set and have been actively working on getting it together. It's also really cool that it comes with a Sauron figure! Everything is high quality as always, and easy to follow instructions! Highly recommend!

LOTR Legos rule them all
on March 25, 2026
Posted by: AshleyR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a super fun build, great clear instructions. My son enjoyed it so much, he was lazer focused on it for a solid 2 hours. I think it was a little on the smaller side and could have been saved bigger build for the price the kit retails for.

Add a piece and 2 fall off. This was a waste of money and time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Sien, LEGO® Customer Service, March 6, 2026
That sounds like a frustrating experience. If your set doesn't seem very sturdy, the best thing to do is double-check your build. Sometimes one of the pieces is just a little bit off from where it should be. We'd also recommend making sure all the pieces are pressed tightly together. If you need any help, we're here! Don't hesitate to reach out.

This is a SPIT in the FACE

I honestly regret buying the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet (11373), and that’s not something I say lightly because I usually enjoy LEGO sets even when they have flaws. This one just feels like a complete letdown from start to finish. The build is painfully repetitive, like they ran out of ideas halfway through designing it and just decided to copy-paste the same steps over and over again. For something aimed at adults, it’s shockingly boring. I kept waiting for some clever technique or satisfying moment to make it feel worth it, but it never came. It just ends, and you’re left wondering why it felt so underwhelming.
What really makes it worse is how disappointing the final result looks in person. Sauron is supposed to be this terrifying, imposing figure from The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, but this helmet just doesn’t capture that at all. The shaping looks awkward, the angles don’t line up as cleanly as they should, and instead of looking sharp and menacing, it comes off as chunky and kind of sloppy. From certain angles it looks okay, but from others it just falls apart visually, and you can’t unsee it once you notice it.
And for a display set, it’s honestly kind of ugly. It’s just a big, dark lump of black pieces that doesn’t stand out on a shelf the way you’d expect. There’s barely any contrast or detail to catch your eye, and the stand feels cheap and uninspired. This is supposed to be a centerpiece type of set, but it ends up blending into the background instead of standing out. I’ve seen way better-looking LEGO display builds at this price point, and that just makes this one feel even more like a ripoff.
Speaking of price, it’s absolutely not worth it. You’re paying a premium for what should be a high-quality collector’s item, but instead you get a short, repetitive build and a final model that doesn’t live up to the source material or the cost. It feels like you’re paying for the name and not the experience. Even the connection to Sauron doesn’t save it, because it doesn’t do the character justice in the first place.
Overall, this set is just frustrating. It had so much potential and completely wasted it. I went into it expecting something impressive and ended up with something that feels rushed, overpriced, and honestly kind of forgettable. If you’re thinking about getting it, I’d seriously recommend skipping it and putting your money toward something that actually feels worth building and displaying. This is an easy one-star for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Premium product, rare minifigure
on April 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently received the Lego The Lord of the Rings and I’m very impressed. I have not installed it yet but it comes with very details instructions, premium pieces. Should be no time for me to assemble everything together. The best part is?? It comes with the exact same rare Sauron minifigure. If you want a cool display piece without spending a fortune, this is a must grabbing
