LEGO Sagrada Família set delayed: new release timing uncertain

Rumors around LEGO’s long-awaited Sagrada Família set, packed with a record-breaking piece count, have recently been pushed back. The latest reports suggest the set will no longer arrive in early summer 2026. The change is part of a broader wave of internal delays at LEGO.

Details about the set

The Sagrada Família set is now listed as number 21065 and is said to include a massive 12,060 pieces. That would make it the biggest set LEGO has ever released, surpassing the LEGO Art World Map, which contains 11,695 pieces. The original release date was set for July 1, 2026.

Causes of the delay

According to reports, the delay is tied to production issues that are also affecting the announced Poké Ball set (72154). The Brick Tap community has speculated that the Sagrada Família set may miss LEGO’s summer 2026 product launch window. This lines up with LEGO’s usual approach to delays, which can range from one to three months.

Implications of the delay

The recent change in the release schedule could have a significant impact on the availability of the Sagrada Família set. It may have been a strategic move to better align the launch with the upcoming centenary celebrations for architect Antoni Gaudí on June 10, 2026. The original release date may have been timed to coincide with major publicity around the famous basilica in Barcelona.

With more than 12,000 pieces, the Sagrada Família set will be a major challenge for adult builders. It also shows LEGO’s Architecture line becoming increasingly ambitious, with a growing focus on larger and more complex builds, as seen previously with Notre-Dame de Paris, Neuschwanstein Castle, and Himeji Castle.
