WHAT TO BUILD

MOC Ideas for LEGO^® Icons The Lord of the Rings: The Shire^™ (10354)!

Let’s be real — LEGO^® The Lord of the Rings: The Shire^™ (10354) is already a dream come true for any Tolkien or LEGO fan. The details, the cozy vibes, and of course, Bag End itself — chef’s kiss! But if you’ve ever looked at your Shire build and thought “Hmm...what if I added even MORE magic?” — you’re absolutely not alone.

Turns out, a super talented MOC Designer on Rebrickable, rebelnili, has created a whole series of incredible MOCs (My Own Creations) designed specifically to enhance, upgrade, and expand your Shire set in the best ways possible.

Think of these builds like creative add-ons — extra touches that take an already beautiful display and make it feel even more alive, dynamic, and totally Hobbit-worthy.

Let’s take a little stroll through The Shire and check them all out:

1. Lusher Trees

Starting things off with a breath of fresh air — literally! This MOC gives your Shire trees a lush makeover, making them look fuller, taller, and way more natural. It's perfect for builders who love a more organic, overgrown Hobbiton vibe.

A super simple upgrade — but the visual impact? Huge.

2. Bilbo's Party

It’s party time in The Shire! Inspired by Bilbo Baggins’ famous birthday party, this MOC adds all the fun little details — like tents, party tables, and festive decorations — right outside Bag End.

It’s such a joyful scene and really brings that “life of The Shire” energy to your build.

3. Flora Overhaul

If you're the type of builder who loves tiny details, this MOC is a must-see. The Flora Overhaul adds a whole new layer of texture and colour to your Shire with extra plants, flowers, and foliage sprinkled throughout the landscape.

The end result? A Shire that's even more lush, wild, and vibrant — just how the Hobbits like it.

4. Closed Back / Additional Rooms

The third floor is a cozy living space for a tenant, keeping all the original features of the Tudor Corner set. With a warm and rustic design, this level offers a comfortable medieval home where minifigures can rest after a long day. The preserved details ensure that it still feels like a lived-in space, blending seamlessly with the floors below.

5. Lush Tree for LEGO^® Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sméagol^™ & Déagol^™ (40761) GWP

Last but not least — if you managed to score the LEGO^® Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sméagol^™ & Déagol^™ (40761) gift-with-purchase, this MOC is for you!

It's a simple but effective redesign of the tree included in the GWP, giving it a lusher, more natural look to better match the trees from the main Shire set. A perfect little upgrade to tie everything together.

All of these MOCs by rebelnili are proof that LEGO building doesn’t have to stop once you finish the official instructions. Whether you want a Shire that feels wilder, greener, or packed with Hobbit life, there’s an upgrade here for every kind of builder.

It's amazing how a few extra details — trees, flowers, party scenes, or even extra rooms — can take an already beautiful set like LEGO^® The Lord of the Rings: The Shire^™ (10354) and turn it into something even more personal and special.
