The collector-focused model is LEGO’s largest Lord of the Rings set yet and includes nine minifigures plus a bonus Ork gift with purchase.
- On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, Lego announced its 8,278-piece Minas Tirith set, a hybrid microscale and minifigure-scale model of the iconic Gondorian capital priced at $650.
- Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring, the set surpasses previous Lord of the Rings releases like Rivendell, becoming the company's largest in the franchise.
- The model stands nearly two feet tall and includes 10 minifigures such as Gandalf the White and Aragorn as King Elessar; builders can flip the structure to access detailed interior locations like the throne room.
- Lego Insiders gain early access beginning June 1, with general availability starting June 4; customers ordering by June 6 receive a free set featuring Grond and two Mordor Orc minifigures.
- This kit ranks as the fourth-largest Lego set ever produced, trailing only the Eiffel Tower, Titanic, and Death Star models in total piece count among Lord of the Rings releases.
