A brand new yr is nearly right here, which implies extra comically giant new Lego units to taunt our wallets. The most recent leaked set is for Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings and its rumored to price over $600. I’m trying ahead to including the Star Trek Enterprise to it and rounding up my irresponsible purchases for the yr to $1,000. In accordance with Brick Faucet, Lego will launch the brand new Lord of the Rings set on June 1, 2026. It’ll be priced between $600 and $650 and be a whopping 8,278 items. From the entrance, at the least, it is going to seemingly appear like a miniature recreation of town of Gondor etched into the facet of a mountain because it’s depicted in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings movies.
If the leak is correct, that may make Minas Tirith the sixth-biggest Lego set ever, simply behind the brand new Star Wars Dying Star. It will even be a pair thousand items extra elaborate than the present Lord of the Rings Rivendell set. In accordance with Brick Faucet, the set will even embody 10 minifigures: Gandalf the White, Aragorn, Pippin, Denethor, Faramir, 4 Gondor troopers, and Shadowfax. All it will likely be lacking is an orc military to put siege to town. There’s a Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr set however it’s bought individually and at present on backorder.
The hope amongst some followers is that this alerts Lego views Lord of the Rings as a properly value returning to, and that we’ll proceed to get new units from it like we now have with Star Wars and Harry Potter. Personally, I hope it means we ultimately get one other Lord of the Rings Lego sport. Perhaps this time an open-world action-RPG.
