Based on the iconic location as seen in Peter Jackson’s third Lord of the Rings movie, Return of the King, the Minas Tirith set is a diorama piece that combines an expansive cityscape with detailed interior scenes, including the citadel throne room. The assembled set measures over 23.5 inches high, 24.5 inches wide, and has a depth of 14.5 inches. Essentially, you’re going to need a lot of room to display it in all its glory.
It also comes with the following 10 minifigures:
- Aragorn (in King Elessar garb)
- Arwen
- Denethor (with tiny tomatoes)
- Faramir
- Gandalf the White
- Gondor Guards (four in total)
- Peregrin Took
As mentioned above, this is Lego’s largest LOTR set yet, dwarfing impressive past releases like the Rivendell and Barad-dûr Tower by a significant margin. All of these sets are still available to order in case you’d like to complete your collection, alongside smaller LOTR kits like Sauron’s Helmet and the Balrog Book Nook.
