Firstly, here is the reveal and introduction to the set given by its designers François (model lead), Nicola (element lead) and Ashwin (graphic design lead) at Fan Media Days in Denmark in September 2025. 

They explain the new moulds and mention many of the decorations. We will discuss recolours in our upcoming review. No sticker sheet! 

Now here's a gallery of official images.

From the official press release: 

This highly detailed set recreates the majestic city of Gondor – the legendary White City of Minas Tirith™. Designed as a striking display model, the build captures the towering architecture, layered walls and iconic citadel that defined one of Middle-earth’s most memorable locations.

The set features a hybrid-scale design, combining an expansive microscale cityscape with richly detailed minifigure-scale interior scenes. From afar, builders can admire the sweeping skyline and defensive walls of Minas Tirith. Up close, they can explore key interior spaces, including the throne room of the citadel, where pivotal moments from the story unfold.

To bring the world of Middle-earth to life, the set includes 10 minifigures and the legendary Shadowfax™ horse figure. Characters featured in the set include Gandalf™ the White, Faramir, Denethor, Peregrin Took™, Aragorn™ as King Elessar, Arwen™, and four Soldiers of Gondor, along with themed accessories such as Gondor helmets, shields and Aragorn’s crown.

Great engines crawled across the field; and in the midst was a huge ram, great as a forest-tree a hundred feet in length, swinging on mighty chains. Long had it been forging in the dark smithies of Mordor, and its hideous head, founded of black steel, was shaped in the likeness of a ravening wolf; on it spells of ruin lay. Grond they named it, in memory of the Hammer of the Underworld of old.

– J. R .R. Tolkien

The set features a LEGO Grond ram and 2 Orc minifigures.

We reckon the olive green head is an exclusive print! We can't spot any more recoloured or printed pieces in the model, though.

The back of the box reveals that the battering ram is functional, which is not a huge surprise – I reckon even I could engineer that!

This is a must-have GwP for LotR fans, but given the scale of Minas Tirith, maybe it's your wallet that will take the battering?

Watch out for our upcoming review of the Grond GwP as well as Minas Tirith.
