LEGO Unveils 8,278-Piece Minas Tirith Set

LEGO has unveiled its largest Lord of the Rings set to date, an 8,278-piece recreation of Minas Tirith, the White City of Gondor, positioning it as the fourth-largest set the company has ever produced. The Icons line model, announced from its Billund, Denmark headquarters, measures over 59 centimeters tall, 62 centimeters wide and 37 centimeters deep, capturing the seven-tiered fortress from J.R.R. Tolkien's saga and Peter Jackson's film trilogy.

The set employs a hybrid design, rendering the expansive outer walls and cityscape in microscale for a sweeping display while featuring minifigure-scale interiors, including the Citadel's throne room. This allows builders to explore key locations from the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and Aragorn's coronation. It includes 10 minifigures: Gandalf the White, Aragorn as King Elessar, Arwen, Denethor, Faramir, Peregrin Took and four Soldiers of Gondor, along with accessories such as Gondor helmets, shields and Aragorn's crown. Select versions also feature Shadowfax, Gandalf's horse.

Priced at approximately 650 euros, or equivalent in other markets, the set targets adult collectors and will launch for LEGO Insiders members on June 1, 2026,...
