Should I get the Shire or get Rivendell?

Let it first be known that I plan to buy Rivendell no matter what. I'm planning to pick it up whenever doubles points strikes but with that i'm here now debating if the Shire is a good start to my collection.

I think the set looks good, however the price as we have all said is very bad and i think compared to the other two it's my last choice. That should be reason to just skip out but Lego just had to release an amazing GWP. I remember I skipped out on Barad-dûr because the minifig looked like it could just be made with parts I already have and I stand by that. But the chance to get a minifig of two characters that will likely never be made again is extremely tempting for me.

Not sure if anybody else is facing this first-world problem right now too but let me know you're that's nonetheless.
