The Tower of Orthanc

About The Tower of Orthanc

The Tower of Orthanc (10237-1) is a LEGO Lord of the Rings set released in 2013, currently averaging $867.11 used on BrickLink. It comes with 5 minifigures worth a combined $357.99. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 364 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 41% of the set's value ($357.99 out of $867.11). The remaining value is in the parts and the set as a complete package. Selling complete will likely net more than parting out unless you have specific demand for the individual figures.

Seller notes

• Grima Wormtongue ($195.21) is the most valuable minifig in this set. If you're buying this set secondhand, check that this figure is included — it's often the first one pulled by sellers who part out.
• 5 minifigures at $357.99 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
