LEGO Lord of the Rings Smeagol and Deagol Set 40761

The LEGO Lord of the Rings Smeagol and Deagol Set 40761 is one of the most narratively specific and most emotionally resonant LEGO sets to emerge from the Icons Lord of the Rings collection, a 181-piece gift-with-purchase micro-diorama that recreates the haunting opening sequence of The Return of the King in which cousins Smeagol and Deagol's fishing trip on the Gladden Fields ends with Deagol's discovery of the One Ring and the tragic violence that follows, setting in motion the entire arc of Gollum's corruption and the Ring's journey toward the Shire and ultimately Mount Doom. The set depicts the scene from both above and below the waterline simultaneously, a dual-perspective construction technique that uses dark green and dark blue bricks for the river's depths alongside a buildable tree and plants at the surface, with a chrome-finished One Ring visible in the underwater section where Deagol can be posed reaching for it. The rotatable boat accommodates both Smeagol and Deagol minifigures, each with dual-printed heads that capture their character-specific expressions: Smeagol with happy and threatening alternate faces, Deagol with surprised and breath-holding expressions appropriate to the underwater discovery moment. A chrome gold ring element, buildable plants, a fish figure, and fishing gear for both characters complete the accessory package with the movie-accurate details that Middle-earth enthusiasts have come to expect from the Icons series. Released April 2, 2025 as a free gift-with-purchase alongside the $270 LEGO Icons The Shire set 10354, the diorama measures over 6 inches high, 5.5 inches wide, and 2 inches deep.

The LEGO Lord of the Rings Smeagol and Deagol Set 40761 is the most narratively daring and most emotionally complex LEGO gift-with-purchase the Icons Lord of the Rings collection has produced, a small set that carries the full weight of Tolkien's mythology in its 181 pieces.

The LEGO Lord of the Rings Smeagol and Deagol Set 40761 is available at a retail price of $25.
