In partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, the LEGO Group today unveiled the #11377 LEGO Icons 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 measures Dover 23.5 in. (59cm) high, 24.5 in. (62 cm) wide, and 14.5 in. (37 cm) deep.

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 citadel’s throne room, 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 #11377 LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set will be available for LEGO Insiders from the 1st of June and for general release from the 4th of June. Prices are as follows: £579.99 / €649.99 / $649.99. For more details and pictures, visit the LEGO Icons section of the Online LEGO Shop.

There is also a freebie available with the new set. Shoppers who purchase the #11377 LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith between the 1st and 7th of June, will receive the #40863 LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: Grond as a gift-with-purchase. Recreate the fearsome battering ram forged by Sauron’s servants during the Siege of Minas Tirith to break down the city’s Great Gate. Scaled to pair with the new set, this detailed replica features a functional ram with the face of a snarling wolf. The set also includes 2 Orc minifigures with accessories.

Additionally, the LEGO Group will be hosting a livestream to celebrate the reveal of the #11377 LEGO Icons Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set. Tune in today at 12:00 ET/ 5pm BST / 6pm CEST for a Q&A with the LEGO design team about the making of the new set.

As we discussed the other day, we will be getting a large selection of new LEGO sets starting next month (many of which are already available for pre-order). Since our last conversation, four other sets have been revealed, targeting adult LEGO fans and collectors.

The #40926 Sega Genesis Mini-Console is an ode to an old-school gaming icon. It can be customized into the SEGA Genesis or the SEGA Mega Drive, and both options include two detachable controllers, a game card that can be taken out of the console, plus lots of sticker decorations and a Sonic the Hedgehog portrait as an Easter egg. The 479-piece set measures over 1.5 in. (4 cm) high, 6 in (16 cm) wide, and 4.5 in (12 cm) deep, while the controllers measure over 1 in. (2 cm) high, 3 in (8 cm) wide, and 9.5 in. (24cm) deep. Price: $39.99. Available June 1st at the Online LEGO Shop.

The #11380 LEGO Icons Road Bike is an ambitious and detailed replica with smooth front-wheel steering and a working pedal-and-chain drive with a freewheel mechanism for coasting. Meticulously detailed, the model also features derailleurs, brake calipers, clipless pedals, and a silver-colored drive chain. This model bike, the first in a LEGO Icons set, comes with a removable water bottle and rear light. The rear wheel-lift stand allows the wheel to spin freely when the pedals are turned. When mounted on its stand, the road bike in this 1,015-piece set measures over 14 in. (36 cm) high, 23.5 in. (60 cm) long, and 7.5 in. (19 cm) wide. Price: $129.99. You can pre-order this set now at the LEGO Icons section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #21066 LEGO Architecture New York City – The Big Apple might be a new direction for the LEGO Architecture line, combining the LEGO Architecture Skyline series with a descriptive backdrop that also represents the city. The set features six architectural icons: the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, One World Trade Center, and the Statue of Liberty. Finishing touches include Central Park, yellow taxi cabs, an Easter egg, and the printed ’New York, New York’ tile. With 1,465 pieces, this minimalist recreation of the New York City skyline measures over 11.5 in. (29 cm) high, 11 in. (28 cm) wide, and 4.5 in. (12 cm) deep. Price: $139.99. You can pre-order this set now at the LEGO Architecture section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #77984 LEGO Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler features a 1:10-scale, customizable Jeep Wrangler model with an array of functions like opening doors, hood, removable canvas roof, roll bars, and a working winch. Boxes can be installed on the back, and the car can be steered using the spare tire. Accessories include a small jungle environment with an information plaque, a direction sign, a Dennis Nedry minifigure from the 1993 Jurassic Park movie, and more. The 1,924-piece Jeep Wrangler model measures over 6 in. (16 cm) high, 13 in. (34 cm) long, and 7 in. (18 cm) wide. Price: $199.99. The set is already available at the LEGO Jurassic World section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Although these four sets appeal to different interests and audiences, I think they all have great potential to be successful. What do you think? Are you interested in any of these sets? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!
