LEGO leaks have had a knack for stirring up the internet in recent years, and that's exactly what's happening again. This time, more photos of an upcoming set inspired by The Lord of the Rings, specifically the legendary Minas Tirith, have been leaked. And if you're a fan of Middle-earth, you'll be interested in this.
The first signs of what was to come had already appeared earlier. minifigures, the set should offer, but the newly leaked images go a step further. For the first time, they also show a more detailed look at the interior of the building itself, which is always a key thing with sets of this size. And it must be said that according to the available footage, it looks like LEGO really cares. Minas Tirith does not just look like a "display piece" on a shelf, but rather like a full-fledged model that has something to offer when playing.
An interesting fact that will please fans of details is, for example, the confirmation that Gandalf will arrive not only in miniin figurine form, but even with a horse, which may sound like a small thing, but it is precisely such details that often determine how faithfully the set captures the atmosphere of the original.

There is also speculation that the set could include a so-called GWP (Gift With Purchase), a bonus set that is free to purchase. What exactly it could contain is still shrouded in mystery, but if LEGO is betting on something themed from Middle-earth, it would definitely make sense. And since Minas Tirith will be a large set, it is almost certain that the GWP will be themed - after all, it was the case in the past when LEGO released the Shire with Bilbo Baggins's Burrow.
To make matters worse, another rather crucial piece of information appeared in the same leak. According to available reports, studio TT Games is working on a new LEGO game set in the Lord of the Rings universe, which should offer something like LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, only set in Middle-earth. If this information is confirmed, it could be one of the biggest comebacks for the brand in recent years.
Overall, it's starting to look like LEGO is returning to The Lord of the Rings universe in a big way. And Minas Tirith could very well be one set that fans won't want to miss.chat Now all that's left to do is wait for the official reveal, which will hopefully confirm not only the look of the set itself, but also its price and availability. Rumors are that it will be released on June 1st and will cost around $600.
