LEGO Lord of the Rings Rumored to Return in 2026 with Massive Minas Tirith Set
Middle-earth may soon rise again in brick form. According to multiple industry leaks and retailer rumors, the LEGO Lord of the Rings line is expected to make a major comeback in 2026, headlined by an enormous and long-awaited LEGO Minas Tirith set.
If accurate, this would mark LEGO’s most ambitious Lord of the Rings release to date—and a clear signal that the theme’s revival is far from over.
What the Rumors Suggest So Far for LEGO 11377
The biggest rumors currently circulating points to:
Set Name: LEGO Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith
Set Number: 11377
Piece Count: 8,278 pieces
Release Date: June 1, 2026
Estimated Price: $600–$650 USD
Target Audience: 18+ collectors
At over 8,000 pieces, Minas Tirith would instantly become the largest LEGO Lord of the Rings set ever produced, surpassing both Rivendell and Barad-dûr by a significant margin.
Why LEGO Minas Tirith Makes Sense
Minas Tirith has long been considered one of the biggest “missing” locations in LEGO’s Lord of the Rings lineup. As the White City and the centerpiece of The Return of the King, it offers:
Fans have been requesting a true LEGO UCS-scale Minas Tirith for more than a decade, and the rumored price and piece count suggest LEGO may finally be delivering exactly that.
LEGO LOTR: Minas Tirith Minifigures
No official list has released yet, but based on the scale and setting, collectors are speculating we could see the following LEGO Minifigures included in LEGO Minas Tirith:
Gandalf the White
Aragorn
Denethor
Pippin (in Gondorian Armor)
Guards of the Citadel
Gondorian soldiers
Possibly exclusive armor or redesigned torsos
If LEGO follows recent trends, exclusive minifig prints and display-focused placement would be likely.

What This Means for the LEGO Lord of the Rings Theme
If Minas Tirith does release in 2026, it would strongly suggest:
LEGO views Lord of the Rings as a long-term collector theme, not a one-off revival
Large, premium Middle-earth sets could become a recurring release strategy
Smaller companion sets or GWPs may follow, similar to recent Icons-era launches
Combined with earlier rumors and releases, 2026 could represent the most ambitious era yet for LEGO Lord of the Rings fans.
The Beacons are Lit: LEGO Minas Tirith is Coming Summer 2026
While nothing is officially confirmed, the rumored LEGO Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith (11377) checks every box fans have been asking for: massive scale, iconic source material, and premium collector appeal. If these leaks prove accurate, June 2026 could be one of the most important moments in LEGO fantasy history.
As always, we’ll update as soon as LEGO makes anything official.
