My bad! I have to agree with that 110%. Barad-dur and Shire were great. But Rivendell was just magnificent. So with this one. Battle pack!!!! That is it!!!! That would be an awesome GWP!!!

I actually want the gift with purchase to be quite a robust set and substantial in significance. But I get it, they should not be making it “exclusive“. What they could do is that the gift purchase is free when you buy the set (Minas Tirith, in this case), but the GWP is also available for purchase at a later date. I feel like this is more consistent with the practice of other promotional products, which may not even be toys/Lego. Didn’t they already do this when Rivendell came out? There was a GWP upon release but the set was available for purchase later on.

Couldn’t find it anymore on the two Reddit channels. Lol

That's true!!! I was thinking the same! Oh how wonderful it would have been if part of the interior could be taken out to be displayed separately. But that would probably be too much to ask.

So, we now have "home base" settings for Elves (Rivendell), Orcs (Barad-dur), Hobbits (Shire), and Men (Minas Tirith). Are we getting a 'home' for Dwarves next?

Looks great!

Wonder how many mini figs and if it will be a new head mould, or just new prints from existing ones.

So, which mini fig-based sets are we getting for 2026?

Just saw the Zelda final battle set. At the back of my mind, I just wished the Balrog set was diorama-based just like this, instead of a book nook.

Re-use some Jurassic Park moulds.

They could probably do some small sets every now and then for The Hobbit. I really want another Smaug. (missed out on that one) LOL

After Minas Tirith, what location could be next for LOTR? Or would they start focusing on The Hobbits movies?

Looks like the elephant has regular red/ dark red legs? Was hoping we get regular red-orange legs for one of the previous brick suit figs. That new brick-suit is coral, is it? Or dark pink?

I wonder if Lego monitors BL prices for minifigs to gauge demand? As much as the Disney castle 2.0 was perhaps a 'flop', the minifigs weren't and I could only imagine them increasing in value.

What's a concept that they have not done for a modular? - underground: They have done this for Harry Potter. Perhaps they could consider a subway station? - seaside: Perhaps a pier-style modular but with an aquatic flora and fauna scene? - non-modular floors: fixed floors but the walls flip open, or the roof flips open.
