Two LEGO themes are returning next year in 2023 including J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of the Rings franchise. Three sets have been officially revealed for the theme however all three are brick-built characters apart of the LEGO Brickheadz theme. These include popular characters such as Frodo, Gollum and Gandalf. Balrog, the powerful demonic monster, also appears in LEGO form for the first time.
Hopefully, he'll also appear in Minifigure form for the first time in the rumoured D2C of 10316 Rivendell. This is a part of the LEGO Icons theme which is slowly expanding its licensed range of sets. This will appear in a couple of months in March 2023 so we can expect a reveal around February 2023. However, it is currently unconfirmed whether the set will be microscale or Minifigure scale for the $500 price point.
