I just saw this on TheOneRing.net and then confirmed it via several LEGO fora: LEGO is releasing Orthanc this summer! The black tower in the center of Isengard will be nearly 2.5 feet tall, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. My joy and excitement know no bounds.

Holy crap, we're going to need a bigger dining room table. Or maybe Hubbyfink's right and we should move the Middle Earth LEGOs to the craft room table. Oh! Then we could make an actual map and place the sets in their correct locations.

Yes, I am a nerd. You have to ask?

I ....

I will add this to my Amazon Wishlist so that I can pretend I will ever have a snowball's chance of actually owning it.

So. Excited. (As if it wasn't apparent.)

Table that descends from the ceiling. Legos on top, task lighting on the bottom. That way you don't have to clear your other table of Legos when you want to use it for crafting or eating or whatever :)

An extra bonus is that it would keep Middle-earth safe from the cats!

At $199 for 2,300+ pieces, that is actually a Lego bargain.

I think I shall be adding it to the collection!

Will. Own.

Will. (SQUEEEE!)

Plus:

Council of Elrond!
Battle at the Black Gate!
Corsair Ambush (with Pete Jackson Umbarian, hee)!

(I think I'll pass on the Wizard Battle since we've already got four(?) Gandalfs and will get yet another one [with hair this time, though] with Orthanc.)

Sheesh. Most expensive summer ever.

Mouth of Sauron figure.

I KNOW.

The good news is that a lot of people put individual minifigs on eBay...
