It's not everyday we see Lego sets get great markdowns, especially if they're sets included on Mashable's favorite Legos list.
It looks like then, Jan. 12 is not like every other day, as the Lego The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook set, a favorite pick by Mashable UK Editor Shannon Connellan, is on sale for $111.41. Usually, the set runs for $129.99, so while this $18.58 isn't huge, it is rare. It also puts the set just about one dollar away from its lowest price ever of $110.33.
It's easy to see why Connellan has this set on her wishlist (though its a favorite, she hasn't yet been able to bite the bullet due to the price). Though the LotR has many an iconic moment, Gandalf's encounter with the Balrog and the resulting line of "You shall not pass!" is perhaps one of the most recognizable. Lego captures it, quote and all, in this book nook.
This set is 1,201 pieces, making it relatively sizable build. It measures over 8.5 inches high, 17.5 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep. When not in use as a book nook, you can expand it to reveal the Bridge of Khazad-dûm scene.
