(VIDEO) Lego Unveils Epic 8,278-Piece Minas Tirith Set, One of Its Largest Ever for Lord of the Rings Fans
BILLUND, Denmark — Lego has officially revealed its most ambitious Lord of the Rings project to date: a colossal 8,278-piece replica of Minas Tirith, the iconic White City of Gondor. Set number 11377, part of the premium Icons line for adult builders, is scheduled to launch June 1, 2026, with an expected retail price of $599.99 to $650. The massive build instantly ranks among Lego's biggest sets ever and becomes the largest in the Lord of the Rings theme, surpassing the popular Rivendell set by more than 2,000 pieces.
The highly anticipated model captures the seven-tiered fortress city in stunning microscale detail on the exterior while offering accessible interior spaces for play and display. Leaks and early previews show intricate stonework, towering walls, the Great Gate, and elevated levels rising dramatically toward the Citadel and White Tree. Builders can recreate key moments from the Siege of Gondor, including defensive positions and dramatic architecture that defined the epic battles in Peter Jackson's films and J.R.R. Tolkien's books.

At 8,278 pieces, Minas Tirith joins an elite group as the sixth-largest Lego set of all time. Its size allows for impressive height and depth, with the structure designed to dominate any display shelf.
