Released 2012 · 665 pieces · 6 minifigures · The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings · The Hobbit

LEGO An Unexpected Gathering (79003) was released in 2012 in the The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings · The Hobbit line, with 665 pieces and 6 minifigures. That makes it the 8th largest of the 39 The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings sets in the catalog. It was one of 19 The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings sets released that year (see them all). Released in 2012, 14 years ago, well past the two-to-three-year run most LEGO sets get, so it is almost certainly out of production.
