LEGO celebrates the 25th anniversary of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ with a spectacular Minas Tirith set featuring over 8,000 pieces
A large-scale set featuring micro-scale details, interior scenes, and key characters from the film trilogy.
The LEGO Group is joining in the celebration of the 25th anniversary of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ with one of the most ambitious sets ever created for Tolkien’s saga: a monumental recreation of Minas Tirith, the legendary White City of Gondor, consisting of 8,278 pieces and designed as a collector’s item.
Presented in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith – 25th Anniversary Legacy Collection is aimed squarely at adult audiences and the most devoted fans of Middle-earth. This is no ordinary set, but a true display piece that faithfully recreates the terraced architecture, imposing walls, and iconic citadel that made Minas Tirith one of the most memorable settings in the film trilogy.
One of the set’s greatest strengths is its hybrid design, which combines a panoramic view on a micro-scale—ideal for appreciating the overall structure and its verticality—with detailed interior scenes on a minifigure scale. Upon closer inspection, you can explore key spaces such as the throne room, reinforcing the feeling that you are standing before a “living” version of the capital of Gondor.
The set includes 10 minifigures and the legendary Shadowfax, bringing to life some of the saga’s most important characters: Gandalf the White, Aragorn as King Elessar, Faramir, Denethor, Peregrin Took, and Arwen, as well as four soldiers of Gondor. The set is rounded out with a carefully curated selection of themed accessories, ranging from helmets and shields to Aragorn’s iconic crown.
Regarding availability, the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith (11377) set will be available for early access to LEGO Insiders members on June 1, 2026, while its general release is scheduled for June 4, 2026. The suggested retail price will be $649.99, and it will be available for purchase both in physical stores and on LEGO.com.
Additionally, those who purchase the set between June 1 and June 7, 2026, will receive the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Grond (40893) set as an exclusive gift. This model recreates the dreaded battering ram from the siege of Minas Tirith, features a moving mechanism, and includes two Orc minifigures. The promotion will be available while supplies last.
To celebrate the launch, the LEGO Group has prepared several experiences for fans, including a global livestream with the design team on May 12 and an exclusive giveaway for LEGO Insiders members, running from May 12 to June 30, 2026. Prizes include a trip to Hobbiton in New Zealand and the complete collection of The Lord of the Rings LEGO Icons sets.
