Where it came from
Released in 2012 as part of the initial wave of LEGO The Lord of the Rings sets, Riddles for the Ring (79000-1) was designed to capture the pivotal scene in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey where Bilbo Baggins first encounters Gollum. The set was intended as an entry-level offering, providing a compact build that centered on the iconic underground cavern of the Misty Mountains, complete with a small boat and the essential One Ring element.
The set was designed by the LEGO Group's internal design team to reflect the dark, subterranean aesthetic of Gollum's cave. It was well-received by fans for its inclusion of the exclusive Gollum minifigure, which featured a unique molded head and body design that stood out from standard minifigure construction at the time. The set successfully bridged the gap between the film's source material and the playability requirements of a small-scale construction toy.
