If you have been eyeing the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith set, today is the last possible day to secure its matching free gift. Shoppers who purchase the new Minas Tirith set (11377) between 1st and 7th June 2026 will receive the LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Grond (40893) as a Gift with Purchase. Miss the deadline - which falls at the end of June 7, 2026 - and Grond disappears without a trace.
What Is the Minas Tirith Set?
The 8,278-piece recreation of the iconic White City celebrates The Lord of the Rings 25th anniversary and features a hybrid microscale and minifigure-scale design. It includes 10 minifigures: Gandalf the White, Faramir, Denethor, Peregrin Took, Aragorn as King Elessar, Arwen, four Soldiers of Gondor, plus a Shadowfax horse figure.
The White City secures the title as the largest LEGO Lord of the Rings set ever made, ahead of LEGO Rivendell and The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur. The set released for LEGO Insiders on June 1 and more widely on June 4, 2026, priced at $649.99 / ยฃ579.99 / โฌ649.99.

What Is Grond - and Why Does It Matter?
Grond recreates the fearsome battering ram forged by Sauron's servants during the Siege of Minas Tirith to break down the city's Great Gate, and the detailed replica features a functional ram with the face of a snarling wolf. It is scaled to pair with the Minas Tirith set. The set also includes two Orc Minifigures with accessories.
That thematic pairing - the battering ram that actually broke the gates of the set you just built - makes this one of the most contextually fitting gifts with purchase LEGO has offered on any Icons set.
Once It Is Gone, It Is Gone
LEGO's Gift with Purchase model has a well-established pattern: when the promotional window closes, the bonus set is retired permanently. It will not return as a standalone purchase or in a future wave. The only historical exception has been when LEGO releases building instructions at a later date - something the company does only occasionally.
Collectors who cannot afford the $649.99 price tag today and miss the GWP window will have no second chance at the Grond set through official channels.
The Bigger Middle-Earth Picture
After a decade-long hiatus, the LEGO Lord of the Rings theme returned in 2023 with a new line of BrickHeadz figures and the coveted Rivendell set. LEGO has continued to build on this theme, releasing Icons sets like Barad-dur and The Shire, along with a Balrog Book Nook set. Minas Tirith is the latest and largest chapter in that ongoing revival.
For fans of The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria who want to expand their Middle-earth collection beyond the game, the LEGO set provides a companion piece celebrating the same cinematic universe - though the clock on getting the complete Minas Tirith plus Grond bundle runs out at midnight tonight.
