Designed using advanced building techniques, this custom LEGO Andúril sword (Aragorn’s royal weapon) from The Lord of the Rings (LotR) by J.R.R. Tolkien is realistic (life-size, at approx. 1:1 scale) and fun to build. The brick-built blade even comes apart in sections (to recreate the Shards of Narsil) as shown in the instructions. This is a neat display piece and looks/feels like an ultimate collector’s LEGO sword set. It’s the perfect creative project and conversation-starter for you and your family/friends! If you like my replica LEGO sword, please support my work and purchase a set of instructions. Thank you so much!

You can also watch a 10min tutorial here where I explain the process step-by-step: it’s quite simple and less expensive to do yourself than buying a kit.
* The cost of LEGO parts for this sword model, when you order directly from BrickLink, is approximately $63 USD plus shipping. This is significantly cheaper than buying a similarly sized and prepackaged kit with all the pieces included: such a custom kit would likely be in the $150–225 range with the added labor, inventory, and other markups.

A long overdue review. Excellent build, the planning so it can be displayed as either the Shards of Narsil or Andúril is phenomenal. The blade is quite weak so while it can be held at pretty much any angle the blade will droop severely although it doesn’t break which is pretty impressive and I can’t see how the integrity of the blade could be improved without ruining the look of the sword. Overall its a great set and looks fantastic on my shelf. Looking at the Hobbit bundle of 3 instructions next
