The Lord of the Rings: Grond

Released in 2024 as part of the LEGO Icons line, this set depicts Grond, the massive wolf-headed battering ram utilized by the forces of Mordor during the Siege of Minas Tirith in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The model was designed to capture the imposing, dark aesthetic of the original cinematic prop, emphasizing its mechanical function and the grim, industrial craftsmanship of the Orcs of Angbad. It serves as a specialized display piece intended to complement larger Middle-earth-themed collections, focusing on an iconic piece of siege weaponry that signifies the climax of the War of the Ring.

The design process for this set focused on translating the intricate, jagged metalwork of the film's prop into the modular constraints of the building system. By incorporating various shades of grey and dark metallic elements, the designers sought to replicate the weathered, battle-worn appearance of the ram as it appeared on screen. Upon its release, the set was noted by collectors for its technical detail and the inclusion of elements that allow for dynamic posing, cementing its place as a significant contribution to the broader LEGO Middle-earth catalog.
