## LEGO’s Lord of teh Rings: The Mines of Moria Book Nook
The LEGO Group released a “Book Nook” set based on the iconic battle between Gandalf and the Balrog in *The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring* in 2024. LEGO officially details the set on its website.
### Gandalf vs. Durin’s Bane: Set Details
The LEGO “Book Nook” set (10316) contains 1,201 pieces and recreates a scene from the Mines of Moria. Brickset provides detailed details about the set, including piece count and release date. When closed, the model measures 5.5 x 6.5 x 9 inches, and when fully unfolded, it expands to 17.5 x 6.5 x 9 inches. The set includes a Gandalf the Gray minifigure with his staff and sword,Glamdring,and a posable Balrog figure with flame elements and a whip.
### The Balrog Figure and Wing Material
The Balrog figure within the set is articulated,allowing for dynamic posing of its wings,arms,legs,and fingers. The wings are constructed from flexible translucent plastic sheets, a material previously used in the 269-piece Fell Beast set, which was a LEGO Insiders purchase bonus with the Barad-dûr set. The Brick fan highlights the unique use of the translucent plastic for the Balrog’s wings and its prior appearance in the Fell Beast set.
### Display options and Book Nook functionality
The LEGO Book Nook design allows for multiple display options. The bridge section can be detached to showcase the Balrog with its wings fully extended, and the figures can be displayed independently of the Book Nook frame. The front plaque features the iconic line, “You shall not pass!” from the film. IGN details the display options and the inclusion of the famous quote on the plaque.
### LEGO and *The lord of the Rings*
The release of this set marks a return of LEGO to *The Lord of the rings* theme after a previous line of sets based on the films was discontinued in 2013. Brickset reports on the significance of this release as a revival of the LEGO *Lord of the Rings* theme. As of January 11, 2026, there have been no further announcements regarding additional *Lord of the Rings* LEGO sets beyond the Book Nook and the Barad-dûr set.
