LEGO Lord of the Rings is returning in 2023 with at least three Brickheadz in the first half of the year and $500 D2C. However, the theme itself is not officially returning as these seem to be one-off sets for an early 2023 release. The three Brickheadz are based on popular characters like Frodo, Gollum and Gandalf but the D2C has now only been confirmed by Stonewars.de and Leaky_minifigure on Instagram.
The D2C set is rumoured to be a part of the LEGO Icons theme with the set number 10316 making it similar to the transformers set from last year. Speculation has heightened and it's now believed that 10316 will be based on Rivendell: the city of the Elbes.
There exist many locations in Rivendell like the Council of Elrond or Frodo's bed so it's likely we could have quite a big and crazy set. The set may even be split into many parts to cover these locations. However, with many locations, there is the possibility that 10316 is microscale even though most rumours indicate it will be Minifigure scale.
And if it is Minifigure scale then the majority of the characters will be exclusive and may even appear in LEGO form for the first time. However, like most of this rumour, nothing has been confirmed yet and we'll just have to wait until 1st March 2023 to find out more...
