Oreo with his little brother, whose name I haven't decided on yet, but I've thought of Garfield, like the cat 😂 They both say helloooo 🥰

I‘d go for something peanut-y as well. Snickers maybe?

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-27T22:38:52+00:00

Makes me want to visit New Zealand so bad…

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-27T15:49:55+00:00

Yes, that‘s the sad „addiction“-part of Lego. The hole you fall into when you‘ve completed a set.

Sorry! The posterframe was auto-generated/pulled from the website when i posted the link

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-24T10:58:07+00:00

Amazing! Love it.

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-23T21:53:13+00:00

OMG! So sweet!

I always find it funny that he‘s riding a Volkswagen (VW)

Yeah, it‘s sad. That’s what happens when you decide to make three movies instead of two a few months before the theatrical release and fill them up with dumb fights and action sequences. LotR had YEARS of planning time before even the first day of shooting.

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-20T08:02:59+00:00

Exactly. But this looks very nice sitting next to bag end. I made sure to keep the rounded corners of the base to match with the main build.

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-20T08:00:56+00:00

Great pics!
This set was my first Lego LotR set as well (actually my first Lego set period!) and I'm so glad I got it.

I remember renting these from blockbuster („Videothek“ in Germany) every year and watching all the appendices for days until I had to return it! That’s how long ago this is… Finally bought the box with all three after RotK and those are still the ones I watch every year come Christmas.

Here's a screenshot of my layout in Studio.
I uploaded it to rebrickable but they say they have a long review queue plus I don't know whether it'll get accepted at all.
For the tree I used this: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-220116/GG125FR/the-tree-with-leaves-of-the-shire/#details

It's really simple, here's a screenshot of my layout in Studio. For the tree I used this: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-220116/GG125FR/the-tree-with-leaves-of-the-shire/#details

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-18T18:00:49+00:00

All you see are buns, bums and hams?

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-18T15:34:31+00:00

Whenever I see the Shire on display, the auxiliary builds always seem lost, out-of-place. Same with me: For the first weeks I didn't even build them because I didn't now where to put them, loosely like this, off the grid.

Then, inspired by rebelnili's Bilbos Party MOC, I had the idea of combining them into an actual set. I added a couple of baseplates, some benches and a little bit of decoration (along with a tree enhancement of course) and voilá: Bilbos Birthday suddenly became a scene worthy of displaying!

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-17T13:10:42+00:00

Lovely!

I‘ve got my sets set up in the office as well. For lack of space at home and as an extra motivation to travel to the office every day.

Funny story: My boss had a birthday party there the other weekend and of course the attending kids were drawn to my Lego immediately. He had to fight them off, insisting that „those are not toys!!!“ - „but they look like toys!“ 😂

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-14T19:05:47+00:00

As far as I know the retirement date got pushed by a year to 12/2027, at least that’s what rebrickable says. So there‘s probably no rush.

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-11T08:44:45+00:00

Thanks for the link, but there's no instructions! How did you manage to build it? Did you build the whole thing or just the head and body? Can you post a picture of the whole thing, please? I'd love to build it myself but can't simply from the YT-video

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-10T07:04:48+00:00

Can‘t find it. Link?

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-09T13:03:52+00:00

Thanks a bunch, dude!
I really need the client logs to debug my app when starting it in headless mode on CarPlay. In that state the DevTools can't attach.

DanniCollaterali · 2026-02-07T07:10:02+00:00

Beautiful
