With Christmas fast approaching, it's time to think about what to put on your wishlist - and you really can't go wrong with a LEGO set.
Just think of the dead period between Christmas and New Year, where all you have to do is sit on the sofa and watch movies - having a deeply intricate LEGO set to tinker with would really take things to the next level. And Amazon is offering a Black Friday deal on an immense Lord Of The Rings-inspired set, taking its price from £429.99 down to £364.99.

It puts Rivendell, the home of the elves, front and centre, and has everything a LOTR fan would want - including 15 mini-figures (including Frodo, Sam, Bilbo Baggins, Aragorn, Elrond and Gandalf), the House of Elrond, a specific area for the Council to sit, as well as plenty of trees to replicate one of the most peaceful places in Middle-earth.
It's a massive 6,167-piece set - meaning you really won't get bored over the Christmas period, with all of the different details to build up. According to Amazon, it's one of the top 10 biggest LEGO sets you can get - measuring over a whopping 39cm high and 75cm wide.
And with an average rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from 635 reviews on Amazon, it would seem like the set has thrilled both LEGO and LOTR fans alike. "This is a seriously impressive set, with loads of detail," noted one reviewer. "What a great set! Putting this together was pure joy! It took us about 25 hours to put up, it would have been probably about 30/35 hours alone so you have hours of fun! The details, as in any LEGO set, are brilliant," another said.
A third added: "This set is amazing, and such a fantastic item for a fan of the Lord Of The Rings. There is so much detail in this set, it really manages to reflect the elegance of the film set. Even the roof is amazing. Another big bonus is you get 15 mini-figures - all the main characters are there. Really enjoyable to build. Anyone who loves LEGO and the Lord Of The Rings is going to love this."

But some people have had a few more critical notes to share, like one who said they "took a star off because I think the price is high" - but perhaps they didn't nab the set in a Black Friday deal. Another added: "It's very large and the little bits can get knocked off easily."
For a different - and darker - LEGO LOTR set, you could recreate Barad-dûr for £399.99. Or for something completely different, the LEGO Marvel The Avengers Helicarrier Aircraft is currently £52.50 from Argos, down from £70.
But for a huge set packed full of LOTR details, you can't go wrong with Amazon's deal - which lets you build Rivendell at home.
