The beacons are lit, and LEGO collectors are being called to Gondor! Following the incredible success of Rivendell and Barad-dûr, the world’s favourite brick manufacturer has finally unveiled the crown jewel of the Middle-earth collection: Minas Tirith. This sprawling, highly detailed recreation of the White City is set to hit shelves in late 2026, offering fans a chance to reconstruct the seven-tiered capital of Gondor in their own living rooms. For those who have been dreaming of a definitive version of this cinematic icon since the original theme launched in 2012, the wait is almost over.
A Masterpiece of Middle-earth Engineering
Clocking in at a staggering 7,450 pieces, this set is designed to be the definitive representation of the fortress city. The build features the iconic White Tree of Gondor, the Great Gate, and the sheer, prow-like rock formation that bisects the city levels. Despite its massive scale, the designers have cleverly focused on playability and interior detail, including the throne room of the Stewards and the tomb of the Kings. It is a dense, intricate construction that uses unique building techniques to capture the curved masonry and gothic arches of Peter Jackson’s cinematic vision.
Heroes and Villains of the Pelennor Fields
What truly elevates this set is the exclusive lineup of fifteen minifigures included in the box. Collectors can finally add a highly detailed King Elessar and a new version of Gandalf the White to their ranks, but the real highlights are the debut of Denethor and the high-ranking soldiers of the Citadel Guard. To ensure the Battle of the Pelennor Fields feels properly populated, the set also comes with a small contingent of Orcs and a buildable siege ladder, allowing fans to recreate the desperate defence of the city against the forces of Mordor.
Premium Collectibles for the Ultimate Fan
As part of the "Icons" line, this set is firmly aimed at the adult collector market, reflected in its premium packaging and substantial price tag. Releasing on 1 November 2026, the Minas Tirith set serves as a perfect companion piece to previous massive builds, rounding out the most iconic locations from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Whether you are a dedicated Tolkien enthusiast or a LEGO architect looking for your next challenge, this tribute to the Kingdom of Men is the ultimate way to celebrate the enduring legacy of the Fellowship.
Hidden Detail: The designers included a tiny, brick-built tomato inside the Denethor minifigure's dining area—a cheeky, slightly dark nod to the Steward's infamous scene in The Return of the King that fans are sure to appreciate!
