The LEGO Group have been known for some incredible models over the years, both in terms of size, scale and detail, and the latest LEGO Icons rumour is another one of these. In particular, 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith is reportedly releasing on the 1st of June 2026 as the latest Middle-earth inspired set and the brand new Lord of the Rings flagship set.
The 18+ model will include an incredible 8,278 pieces, making it the largest ever LEGO Lord of the Rings set and the largest set of 2026 so far. We've already had one LOTR-branded LEGO set in 2026 so far, with this month's 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet, but the brick-built interpretation of the capital city of Gondor will see the return of LOTR LEGO Minifigures, with 10 of them included in 11377, which supposedly retails for $599.99 / €599.99 / £549.99.
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 its 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 expected to be 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 10 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 accessories.
