This week, LEGO officially pulled the curtain back on their latest Lord of the Rings set which brings to life the legendary city of Minas Tirith.
Though it’s been rumored for a while now, this week brings the official reveal of LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith. Being released as part of the 25th anniversary collection, this monstrosity comes in at around 8,200 pieces! Hell, the Denethor minifigure even comes with LEGO tomatoes. What more could you want?!
While some might not be as woohoo on the mixed scale of the set, I think it’s a pretty genius use of it. It allows for play factor on the larger levels, while still giving it that immense sense of scale.
In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the LEGO Group today unveiled the LEGO® Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith™ – 25th Anniversary Legacy Collection, an impressive new building set designed for adult fans and collectors celebrating a quarter century of The Lord of the Rings.
Crafted from 8,278 pieces, this highly detailed set recreates the majestic city of Gondor – the legendary White City of Minas Tirith™. Designed as a striking display model, the build captures the towering architecture, layered walls and iconic citadel that defined one of Middle-earth’s most memorable locations.
The set features a hybrid-scale design, combining an expansive microscale cityscape with richly detailed minifigure-scale interior scenes. From afar, builders can admire the sweeping skyline and defensive walls of Minas Tirith. Up close, they can explore key interior spaces, including the throne room of the citadel, where pivotal moments from the story unfold.
To bring the world of Middle-earth to life, the set includes 10 minifigures and the legendary Shadowfax™ horse figure. Characters featured in the set include Gandalf™ the White, Faramir, Denethor, Peregrin Took™, Aragorn™ as King Elessar, Arwen™, and four Soldiers of Gondor, along with themed accessories such as Gondor helmets, shields and Aragorn’s crown.
The LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set is priced at $650 and launching on June 1st for LEGO Insiders and June 4th for everyone else (in LEGO stores and online). Additionally, those who snag the set before June 7th will get a Lord of the Rings: Grond set as a gift.
Will you be adding Minas Tirith to your other Lord of the Rings sets?
