After dropping the towering Barad-dûr set that tested both shelf space and wallets, the LEGO is now offering something a little more… wearable. Well, visually, at least. Meet the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet (11373), a build that brings the Dark Lord’s most recognizable fashion statement straight to your display shelf.
This 538-piece set recreates Sauron’s spiked helmet in all its ominous glory, complete with sharp angles and that unmistakable “I am going to turn Middle-Earth into a living hell” statement. It sits on a sleek black display stand with a name plaque, making it feel more like a museum piece than a thing for your Barad-dûr-themed humble (evil) abode. At over 33 cm (13 inches) tall and 13 cm (5 inches) wide and deep, it has enough visual weight to command attention without demanding an entire room like a certain fortress did.
Here is the real kicker for collectors. This set includes a Sauron minifigure holding the One Ring. Previously, this minifigure was only available in the massive Barad-dûr (10333) set, which carried a prohibitive US$459.99 price tag. For fans who wanted Sauron without committing to a full tower of evil, this helmet finally makes that possible and far more accessible.
As décor, it works surprisingly well. It is menacing without being loud, detailed without feeling busy, and unmistakably Lord of the Rings. Office desk, bookshelf, or display cabinet, it fits right in as a dark centerpiece.
The LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet (11373) measures over 33 cm high, 13 cm wide, and 13 cm deep (13 x 5 x 5 inches).
The new LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet is priced at US$69.99. Pre-orders are open now, with shipping starting March 1, 2026.
