First Leaked Images of LEGO Icons 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook | June 2025


Just one more set has yet to be officially revealed ahead of its 1st of June 2025 release but now, thanks to very.co.uk, we have our first leaked images 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook. The 18+ model is the second set of 2025 based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth The Lord of the Rings and the third as part of the brand new Book Nook collection which also debuts at the beginning of next month.


10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook recreates the legendary confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and Durin's Bane, the Balrog, on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. The 18+ model includes a total of 1,201 pieces, retailing for $129.99 / €119.99 / £109.99. Once it releases on the 1st of June 2025, the LEGO Icons model will be exclusive to both LEGO stores and LEGO shop@home, with a reveal expected on Tuesday, the 27th of May.


Booknooks are custom displays designed to fit on a bookshelf between novels, depicting everything from a miniature world to a scene based on a popular story. This new line of sets offers a unique way to display iconic brick-built scenes from beloved stories, whilst also having a purpose-built use for your ever-expanding bookshelf.




10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook can be built in two different ways. The first is shaped like and somewhat resembles an actual book, but with the sides and front of the book somewhat open to reveal the tantalising Middle-earth scene. Plenty of grey elements, used to represent the stone of the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, can be seen to create the outline and structure of a brick-built book.


Peering into the book-shaped build, we can see the back of Gandalf the Grey whilst he battles with the mighty Balrog. The Balrog, Durin's Bane, itself is a focal point of the set, capturing the large and highly detailed figure in brick-built LEGO form. The wings are the same as those from The Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast GWP, but with the ability to move them around, along with the Balrog's limbs and head, for example.


Having the set built the alternative way, with both sides opened, creates a facade and 18+ diorama, allowing a more detailed perspective of the legendary confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and Durin's Bane. With LEGO flame elements and plenty of transparent orange and red pieces used to simulate the fire and shadow of the Balrog, a lot more of the overall scenery and background can be seen.




10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook is unfortunately the Book Nook with the least amount of Minifigures, releasing on the 1st of June 2025. Gandalf The Grey is the only figure included in the 18+ model who comes with two accessories of a staff and a sword. The character is also placed on a small brick-built stand/plaque that can be easily attached and reattached to the overall Book Nook build. This stand also includes an iconic printed quote: "You shall not pass!".
