I finally was able to pick up my Father's Day gift at the post office this morning (BTW, I love that the new parcel pick-up station is open before the main post office area is). The box it was delivered in was quite large. Inside was packing material and another shipping box. Inside of that was the box of the Rivendell LEGO set itself. However, inside of that was yet another box with the instructions, stickers, and multiple bags full of pieces.
All told, the set had 6167 pieces (not counting extras) spread in 49 labeled bags (some with bags within them) and a large unlabeled bag with a variety of LEGO base pieces. There are three separate instruction booklets. So far, I'm only five bags in on the first booklet (which takes the first 11 bags). I've joked that I would get this set done in an afternoon, but it's likely to take me a couple of days.
For now, I'm constructing it on the table upstairs that we usually reserve for puzzle building. I'm not certain where it will be displayed once it's completed. Peter has offered to build some display shelves. He has time to get them done.
