About LEGO The Orc Forge

LEGO The Orc Forge (set #9476) is a detailed build with 363 pieces from the The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings theme, released in 2012. The The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings line features middle-earth locations and battles from the Tolkien films. This is a moderate-level build suitable for ages 8+, with an estimated build time of 1-2 hours. As a licensed set, it recreates elements from the official The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings property.

Set Highlights

  • 363 pieces at moderate complexity — a 1-2 hours build.
  • Compatible with all standard LEGO sets — bricks extend naturally into other sets you own.
  • Display-focused design — the finished model holds together well on a shelf without support.
  • Officially licensed The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings set — faithful recreation of the source property.

Who Is This Set For?

Gift for The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings Fans

The natural overlap between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans and LEGO fans makes this a go-to gift. The set brings recognizable characters and scenes into brick form.

Themed Play & Roleplay

Minifigures and themed accessories support imaginative play tied to the The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings universe — the play experience extends well beyond the initial build.

Collector's Display Piece

Many fans build licensed sets and display them complete. Limited or retired licensed releases often gain value over time, making them popular with serious collectors.

Build Tips

1

A five-minute sort by color or piece type before starting saves time hunting for specific bricks mid-step.

2

Follow the numbered steps in sequence — structural elements early in the build support everything that comes after.

3

Once built, direct sunlight yellows ABS plastic over time. A display case or UV-filtered shelf glass keeps colors vibrant.
