A new year is almost here, which means more comically large new Lego sets to taunt our wallets. The latest leaked set is for Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings and its rumored to cost over $600. I\u2019m looking forward to adding the Star Trek Enterprise<\/a> to it and rounding up my irresponsible purchases for the year to $1,000.<\/p>\n

According to Brick Tap<\/a>, Lego will release the new Lord of the Rings set on June 1, 2026. It\u2019ll be priced between $600 and $650 and be a whopping 8,278 pieces. From the front, at least, it will seemingly look like a miniature recreation of the city of Gondor etched into the side of a mountain as it\u2019s depicted in Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord of the Rings films.<\/p>\n

If the leak is accurate, that would make Minas Tirith the sixth-biggest Lego set ever, just behind the new Star Wars Death Star. It would also be a couple thousand pieces more elaborate than the existing Lord of the Rings Rivendell set.<\/p>\n

According to Brick Tap, the set will also include 10 minifigures: Gandalf the White, Aragorn, Pippin, Denethor, Faramir, four Gondor soldiers, and Shadowfax. All it will be missing is an orc army to lay siege to the city. There is a Lord of the Rings: Barad-d\u00fbr set but it\u2019s sold separately and currently on backorder.<\/p>\n

The hope among some fans is that this signals Lego views Lord of the Rings as a well worth returning to, and that we will continue to get new sets from it like we have with Star Wars and Harry Potter. Personally, I hope it means we eventually get another Lord of the Rings Lego game. Maybe this time an open-world action-RPG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new year is almost here, which means more comically large new Lego sets to taunt our wallets.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252806,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[18,117,19,17,20706,95232,327],"class_list":{"0":"post-252805","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-lego","13":"tag-lord-of-the-rings","14":"tag-movies"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115787457035561711","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252805","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252805"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252805\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252805"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252805"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
