LEGO has announced a major new addition to its line of sets based on The Lord of the Rings. This time it\u2019s Minas Tirith, and it’s the biggest LotR LEGO set yet (see it at the LEGO Store<\/a>). Also known as the White City, Minas Tirith is the capital of Gondor and the site of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in The Return of the King. It\u2019s also where Aragorn is coronated as King Elessar. <\/p>\n

Comprised of 8,278 pieces, this Minas Tirith set is huge, making it one of the biggest LEGO sets<\/a> ever. It\u2019s priced accordingly, at $649.99. The set will release June 1 for LEGO Insiders (you can sign up here for free<\/a>), and June 4 for everyone else.<\/p>\n

Release Date: June 1 for LEGO Insiders, June 4 for everyonePrice: $649.99Pieces: 8,278Ages: 18+Set #: 11377Dimensions: over 23.5 in. (59cm) high, 24.5 in. (62 cm) wide, and 14.5 in. (37 cm) deep<\/p>\n

To capture the vastness of the city while still including recognizable and functional buildings, the set uses both microscale and minifigure-scale in its design. The sprawling cityscape and outer walls are done in microscale, while interiors like the Citadel\u2019s throne room are big enough for the minifigures. Speaking of which, the set comes with 10 minifigures\u2026<\/p>\n

In addition, the minifigures come with a variety of accessories, including Gondor helmets, shields, and a crown for the new king.<\/p>\n

This is the biggest LEGO Lord of the Rings set by a good margin, and will be the fourth largest set available, after the Eiffel Tower, Titanic, and Death Star sets.<\/p>\n

As is tradition with the release of a major new LEGO set, there will be a free Gift With Purchase for buyers, available while supplies last. It\u2019s LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Grond<\/a> (set 40893). Grond is the enormous wolf-head battering ram<\/a> Sauron\u2019s army uses to break into Minas Tirith during the Battle of Pelennor Fields. If you want this, I\u2019d highly recommend joining the LEGO Insiders program and purchasing shortly after the set goes live, at 12:01 a.m. on June 1. These GWP\u2019s have a history of selling out quickly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The set is being released in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the release of the first movie in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring. It\u2019s not the only LEGO Lord of the Rings set<\/a> on the market. In recent years, LEGO has released major sets based on Rivendell<\/a>, Barad-d\u00fbr<\/a>, and The Shire<\/a>, in addition to a handful of smaller (and more affordable) sets like Sauron\u2019s Helmet<\/a>. <\/p>\n
