Plans Upon Plans
A nifty little feature of this section lets you pull a lever to split open Sauron’s throne, revealing a secret room with a palantir at its center—one side depicting the Scouring of the Shire, the other the white tree of Gondor aflame.
Behind that is a stickered map of Sauron’s other plans, which includes my second-favorite gag in the set: a scrap of paper which simply has written in faux-runic lettering “SHIRE? BAGGINS?” inspired by Gollum’s tortured revelation of the ring’s location. Love the idea of Sauron having a whiteboard he has to take notes on mid-interrogation.
