Lego’s next ‘Lord of the Rings’ set, Minus Tirith, marks a significant evolution in its iconic adventure series. Originally a mere piece count of 612 pieces, this latest addition brings over 8,000 items, surpassing Rivendell by nearly two thousand. Unlike traditional playsets, Minus Tirith presents the entire White City on a micro-scaled scale, capturing its tiered rings and the White Tree of Gondor while also unveiling a detailed depiction of the city’s streets and Tower Hall. This ambitious build includes 10 minifigures—Gandalf, Merry, Denethor, Faramir, Aragorn, Arwen, and four Warriors of Minas Tirith—to fully engage players in the story. The set costs $650, making it the most expensive Lego set ever released, with an exclusive Gift With Purchase offering a legendary battering ram and Mordor Orc minifigures. For fans, June 4th is the official launch date, with access opening for members of the Lego Insiders program. This expansion highlights Lego’s commitment to enhancing player engagement and storytelling through intricate miniature designs.
