Things have been a little quiet on the Star Wars and Super Heros helmet cowl and bust collection lately. With 14 Star wars helmets released between 2020 and 2025; six marvel masks released between 2020 and 2025 and two Batman Cowls released in 2021, it has been a bit of a drip feed: a couple a year, with a small name plaque. Limited enough to be able to collect them all, and all imminently displayable.
Today, we get our first Helmet from The Lord Of The Rings – the Sauron’s Helmet. The set will released on March 1 and have 538 pieces, and unlike any Helmet series set before, it also comes with a Sauron minfigure. the set is priced at 129.99AUD / 69,99 USD / 74,99 EUR / 64,99 GBP .
Here’s the blurb:
Create a fantasy decor masterpiece with the LEGO® Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet (11373) building kit for adult fans and collectors. This highly detailed replica model captures the menacing look of the helmet of Sauron™ from the beloved film trilogy. The set also includes a Sauron minifigure holding the One Ring, plus a sleek black display stand for both models, finished with a name plaque. This premium display model makes a super gift for fans of The Lord of the Rings film series and a striking centrepiece for the home or office. Build smarter with the LEGO Builder app – zoom, rotate in 3D, track your progress and follow step-by-step digital instructions. Set contains 538 pieces.
The build itslef looks good, and there is limited scope for a line of The Lord of the Rings Helmets. (Will they include the helmet that Viggo Mortensen kicked, breaking his toe in the Two Towers?)
If you have a collection of helmets, this one will be necessary to complete the set. If you want/need a sauron minifigure, but don’t want to shell out 459USD/699 AUD just so you have the Sauron minfigirue, this could be a good alternative. It does appear to be identical to that provided with 10333 Barad-dur, with the price of admission being a fraction of the cost (From 10333 is on the left, 11373 on the right). But is it value for money? That’s possibly a harder question to answer.
I am glad that the minifigure is included in the Helmet set, but I think it is a shame that this has not been pursued earlier in the subtheme’s lifetime; Still, if minfigures persist going forward, that’s okay!.
Is this set for you? Will this reduce the price of the Sauron minfigiure on the secondary market (at the time of writing, starting at $AUD65 each and going north of to $200AUD. leave your comments below.
The Sauron helmet goes on sale in March for 129.99AUD / 69,99 USD / 74,99 EUR / 64,99 GBP .
