Mordor’s most terrifying monument is now available in Lego form. A new Barad-dûr Lego set is coming from Lego and Warner Bros. Discovery this summer, the two companies announced on Tuesday.

The set depicts Sauron’s massive tower as well as his glowing Eye that sits at its peak. The tower also opens up into a detailed throne room that includes a hidden map and a ladder to the top floor. The middle sections of the tower also have a variety of different modable options, including a feast table, an orc armory, and more, while the bottom of the tower includes a working door at the base.

The Lego set stands at over 32 inches tall, 11 inches wide, and 17 inches long. It comes with a hidden secret as well: if you buy multiple sets, you can stack several different versions of the middle section to make an even more imposing version of Barad-dûr. But the price for multiple versions of this new 5,471 piece Lord of the Rings set will be pretty steep, with each one running $459.99.

Along with the tower itself, and a glowing center brick for the Eye of Sauron, the Barad-dûr set will include 10 minifigures, including Sauron, the Mouth of Sauron, an Orc, Frodo, Sam, Gollum, Gothmog, and more. On top of all that, if you buy the set between June 1 and June 7, you’ll also get a Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast Lego seat, which features a version of the ominous flying creature with fully posable wings alongside A Nazgul minifigure.

The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr set is out now, but currently on backorder from Lego’s website.
