The Sméagol & Déagol GWP is a set that depicts a scene from the opening of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It’s a flashback to a peaceful day when Sméagol (before he became Gollum) and his cousin Déagol are fishing in a little boat on a gentle lake. What could possibly go wrong?
The set has you build the little fishing boat, along with some water, the shore, and a tree. You also get Sméagol and Déagol minifigures and two fishing pole accessories. But all of this sits on stands that let it hover over an underwater area, where Déagol gets dragged down by a big fish and finds the One Ring, a miniature version of which is also included.
The movie scene ends in tragedy, as Sméagol insists he should have it because it’s his birthday. The two cousins end up fighting over the magical ring, with Sméagol choking his cousin to death to obtain it.
But you don’t have to have all that darkness play out if you don’t want to. And thankfully, The Shire set of Bilbo’s party day is a much happier and livelier place to be. If you want the Sméagol and Déagol set, grab it by the end of the day because chances are, when it’s gone this time, it’s gone for good.
