LEGO The Lord of the Rings: Sauron’s Helmet Is Up for Preorder

LEGO's 538-piece Sauron Helmet set includes an exclusive minifigure and costs $69.99, targeting collectors seeking a more affordable Lord of the Rings display model.

  • Preorders are live now ahead of the March 1, 2026 release for LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet, set 11373, priced at $70.
  • After reviving the line in 2023 with Rivendell, LEGO began testing smaller LOTR offerings like last year's $130 Balrog book nook and retired its 2012 sets.
  • The new set is a 538-piece display model built to recreate Sauron's helmet with detailed texture, standing over 13 in. tall and including a Sauron minifigure holding The One Ring plus a display stand and name plaque.
  • By adding the minifigure, LEGO widens access for collectors who avoided the expensive 10333 Barad-dûr purchase, offering the Sauron minifigure without the $460 cost; preorders are advised due to likely sellouts.
  • As a helmet-format release that includes a minifigure, the set positions the Middle-earth franchise alongside LEGO Icons helmet-format builds from Marvel and Star Wars, broadening the collector-format product strategy beyond annual massive builds.
