79005 Wizard Battle is a set in The Lord of the Rings theme that was released in June 2013. It includes part of the interior of the Tower of Orthanc and two minifigures: Gandalf and Saruman.
Description
The main structure of the set is Saruman's throne. This is mainly made out of black bricks with dark stone grey baseplates. At the foremost part of the structure a circular platform with a 4x4 turntable in its centre with a stall table on top. On this is a transparent-orange minifigure head printed with the Eye of Sauron. This is covered with an orb. Together these pieces depict the Palantír. The turntable can rotate by means of a beam that is placed underneath the platform. In the centre of the structure is a 4x6 section in front of Saruman's throne with two black steps to each side. Behind each of the stairs is an ornate black tower with a transparent yellow orb on the top of each one.
Saruman's throne is placed in between the two tower structures. Made out of many sloped black bricks, it rises up above the towers at a height of almost ten building bricks. At its top is are some black cones and an 'anvil' with a third cone at its pinnacle. A black plate is positioned on Saruman's throne where the wizard sits. Behind this is a pole which is used to propel whoever who is sitting on the throne forwards.
The set includes two minifigures: Saruman with a white cloak and a 3-piece staff, and Gandalf the Grey with hair wielding a brown staff. This variant of Gandalf has no hat or cape.
Background
Upon riding to Orthanc for help, Gandalf discovered Saruman had been suborned by Sauron. The corrupted White Wizard tried to convince the Grey Pilgrim to join with them, offering him two choices: they could either aid in the Dark Lord's victory and share in his power as his lieutenants, or cheat him by seizing the One Ring first.
Gandalf refused to submit to Sauron or tell Saruman of the Ring's whereabouts, even though the Ringwraiths were after Frodo Baggins. A battle then ensued, with the corrupted Wizard as the winner, and the Grey Pilgrim was held prisoner at the top of Orthanc. However, Gandalf was ultimately rescued by Gwaihir, the Lord of the Eagles, allowing him to unveil Saruman's treachery and allegiance to Sauron at the Council of Elrond.
Notes
- The Palantír included in this set is different than the one in 10237 The Tower of Orthanc (and it is also exclusive to this set).
