Lego just announced the newest addition to its collection, and it’s perfect for fans of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. We’re talking about this $650 Lego Minas Tirith set, which contains a mind-blowing 8,278 pieces. The set will be available to Lego Insiders between June 1 and June 3. Insiders will also get a free set of Grond, the terrifying wolf-faced battering ram, while supplies last. The general public can buy it starting on June 4.
Lego’s latest release comes just as Peter Jackson’s Fellowship of the Ring, the first movie in his Oscar-winning adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien’s book, celebrates its 25th anniversary.
At over 8,000 pieces, this is one of the largest sets ever produced by Lego. It allows LOTR fans to recreate the White City of Gondor and includes figurines of Gandalf, Arwen and Aragorn, to name a few. Eagle-eyed fans will spot that Denethor even has little Lego cherry tomatoes to munch on.
The set is recommended for adults 18 and up and offers an excellent opportunity to pick up a hobby that doesn’t require you to be glued to your phone. Once completed, the set reaches a height of just over 23.5 inches and a width of 24.5 inches.
