Sometimes you don't realise something is missing from your life until it goes on sale at Amazon. This is the case for me and Lego's 5,471-piece Barad-dûr kit, with its five-level interior — including a library and weapons forge — and light-up Eye of Sauron that could stare me down while I watch TV.
Discounts are rare on this set, but there's currently 15% off in the Amazon Spring Deal Days sale, taking it down to the cheapest price we've ever seen. Unfortunately, it's still £339.98, which means I probably can't actually buy it. (Not to mention the fact in my flat I suspect this supersized build will be not so much a 'striking centerpiece' as 'a massive obstruction to getting around'.)
