A brand new 12 months is nearly right here, which implies extra comically massive new Lego units to taunt our wallets. The newest leaked set is for Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings and its rumored to value over $600. I’m trying ahead to including the Star Trek Enterprise to it and rounding up my irresponsible purchases for the 12 months to $1,000.
In line with Brick Tap, Lego will launch the brand new Lord of the Rings set on June 1, 2026. It’ll be priced between $600 and $650 and be a whopping 8,278 items. From the entrance, not less than, it can seemingly seem like a miniature recreation of the town of Gondor etched into the aspect of a mountain because it’s depicted in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies.
If the leak is correct, that might make Minas Tirith the sixth-biggest Lego set ever, simply behind the brand new Star Wars Dying Star. It will even be a pair thousand items extra elaborate than the present Lord of the Rings Rivendell set.
In line with Brick Faucet, the set can even embrace 10 minifigures: Gandalf the White, Aragorn, Pippin, Denethor, Faramir, 4 Gondor troopers, and Shadowfax. All it is going to be lacking is an orc military to put siege to the town. There’s a Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr set however it’s offered individually and at the moment on backorder.
The hope amongst some followers is that this alerts Lego views Lord of the Rings as a effectively price returning to, and that we’ll proceed to get new units from it like now we have with Star Wars and Harry Potter. Personally, I hope it means we ultimately get one other Lord of the Rings Lego recreation. Possibly this time an open-world action-RPG.
