LEGO Icons 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith Officially Revealed | June 2026

After months of hype, anticipation, leaks and much more, the LEGO Group have finally officially revealed 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith. The LEGO Icons branded model is launching on the 1st of June 2026 as the latest Middle-earth inspired set and the brand new Lord of the Rings flagship set. The large-scale display model brings the legendary capital of Gondor to life in a beautifully designed brick-built fashion, celebrating The Lord of the Rings 25th Anniversary


The 18+ model includes an incredible 8,278 pieces, making it the largest ever LEGO Lord of the Rings set and currently the biggest set of 2026. We've already had one LOTR-branded LEGO set in 2026 so far, with this March's 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet, but the brick-built interpretation of the capital city of Gondor sees the return of LOTR LEGO Minifigures, with ten of them included in 11377, which retails for a whopping $649.99 / €649.99 / £579.99.


The build itself is on a similar scale to 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr and utilises the same technique that the 2024 model did of creating Minifigure-scale interiors, but with exterior details built in a microscale. This is mainly because Minas Tirith, acting as the capital city of Gondor, is absolutely huge. The city is built into a mountain, expands across seven levels, and is surrounded by a great defensive wall known as the Ramas Echor.




With its hybrid design, 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith perfectly captures the sheer verticality of the White City in brick-built LEGO form. The microscale exterior recreates a predominantly white facade of Minas Tirith, showcasing all seven gates and their levels. This is heavily centred on the massive Rock Pier, a sharp, ship-like stone outcropping that cuts through the centre of Minas Tirith.


Like Barad-dur, the rear of the model is entirely Minifigure scale with plenty of iconic details and interactive play functions. The main feature inside is the throne room of Gondor, which takes up most of the back of the structure with its large white throne build and towering yet beautiful black and white pillars of the room itself. Along with the Steward's throne, a large table is also included to recreate the dining scene from The Return of the King.


Several detachable sections are also included within the 18+ build. These removable modules hide smaller Minifigure scale scenes from the films, such as the Archives, where research into the One Ring takes place, the Houses of Healing and the chamber containing the Palantír. Sections of the outer defensive wall can also be removed and rotated to reveal some of these rooms and further areas of the brick-built White City.




Alongside the huge display build, the set includes ten LEGO Minifigures connected to Gondor and the events surrounding the defence of the city. These include Gandalf the White with Shadowfax, Aragorn wearing the crown of Gondor, Arwen, Faramir, Pippin Took and Denethor, alongside four fully armoured Gondor soldiers. The soldiers each feature unique helmet designs and printed shields, while several characters include new armour prints, cloth capes, and detailed LOTR-themed accessories.

$649.99 is a Terribley high price for a Lego set. I don’t care if it is Lord of the rings or not , it is still a high price to pay for a Lego set; adult set or not. It is ridiculous !!!

I will not be buying it. People are Crazy.
