LEGO's The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set and the Battering Ram gift

LEGO has recently confirmed rumors about the launch of a new set from The Lord of the Rings book series: the Minas Tirith set. Classified under number 11377, the set is planned for a late spring 2026 release and will be one of the biggest LEGO sets ever made.

Specifications of the Minas Tirith set

The Minas Tirith set is expected to contain a staggering 8,278 pieces. That would make it the largest set LEGO has ever released for The Lord of the Rings saga. The set will feature a detailed model of the capital of Gondor.

In addition, the set is expected to include at least 10 minifigures, including iconic characters such as King Aragorn, Pippin, Denethor II, Faramir, and four soldiers of Gondor. A minifigure of Gandalf the White is also expected, along with his horse Shadowfax.

Battering Ram gift

Alongside the Minas Tirith set, LEGO is also offering a gift in the form of a Battering Ram model, numbered 40893. This set consists of 307 pieces and includes two minifigures. The Battering Ram model is a recognizable siege weapon from The Lord of the Rings stories and references Sauron's Grond, which was used in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Price and availability

The price for the Minas Tirith set is estimated at $650, placing it among LEGO's most expensive releases, behind only a few special sets such as the Death Star and the Millennium Falcon. If the rumors are true and the set launches on June 1, 2026, an official announcement may not be far off. LEGO typically makes higher-priced merchandise available for pre-order several weeks before launch.

If the rumors prove true, the Minas Tirith set's launch will also arrive alongside other major LEGO releases. According to other reports, LEGO is planning to release its biggest set ever on July 1, 2026: a replica of Barcelona's Sagrada Família. That would further expand the range of huge LEGO sets currently available.

In conclusion, the arrival of the Minas Tirith set together with the Battering Ram model gives The Lord of the Rings fans a unique chance to own an iconic part of the franchise in LEGO form. Keep an eye on LEGO's official announcements for more information.
