The LEGO<\/a> designers behind 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell<\/a> have corrected the set\u2019s press release, clarifying that one of its characters isn\u2019t who you thought it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to the laundry list of named characters included in 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell<\/a> are two generic elves and a distinctive white-haired dwarf, which was originally named in the set\u2019s press release as Gloin (who you may remember from such dialogue as \u2018Gimli, son of Gloin\u2019). But according to the LEGO<\/a> designers behind the set, the determined dwarf has been suffering from a case of mistaken identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not actually Gloin,\u201d LEGO<\/a> Design Master Mike Psiaki tells\u00a0Brick Fanatics<\/em>. \u201cI very specifically say that because I’ve been told to say that. So just to be clear, this is meant to be a generic dwarf.\u201d It\u2019s a revelation we certainly weren\u2019t expecting while chatting to Psiaki and his colleagues on all things Rivendell, not least because the set\u2019s official copy had already confirmed the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
