Lego's got a little something magical in store.

To celebrate a quarter century of "The Lord of the Rings," the Lego Group, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, is launching an 8,278-piece set recreating the majestic city of Gondor – the legendary White City of Minas Tirith.

From towering architecture to the iconic citadel, the striking display model captures "one of Middle-earth’s most memorable locations."

"One of Middle-earth’s most memorable locations" aka the majestic city of Gondor has been forever "forged in brick," LEGO brick that is.

The set, which features a hybrid-scale design, combines an "expansive microscale cityscape with richly detailed minifigure-scale interior scenes," according to a May 12 news release.

"From afar, builders can admire the sweeping skyline and defensive walls of Minas Tirith," the release reads. "Up close, they can explore key interior spaces, including the throne room of the citadel, where pivotal moments from the story unfold."

The set also features 10 minifigures, themed accessories and the legendary Shadowfax horse figure to help bring "the world of Middle-earth to life."

Here's everything we know about the set, including the release date.

When is Lego's newest 'Lord of the Rings' set coming out?

The 25th Anniversary Legacy Collection will be available to Lego Insiders through Early Access on June 1 and to the general population three days later, on June 4.

According to the Lego Group, the set retails for $649.99 and can be purchased online or in person at your nearest Lego store. Those who purchase the new set between June 1 and June 7 will receive the Lego Icons "The Lord of the Rings" Grond as a gift with purchase.

To better help bring the "world of Middle-earth to life," eleven minifigures, including the legendary Shadowfax horse, as well as the themed accessories come in the new set.

The Lego Group is also hosting a sweepstakes for Lego Insiders for a chance to win an all-inclusive trip to the Hobbiton Movie Set, the iconic filming location from "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" films, in addition to the full Lego Icons "The Lord of the Rings" product collection.

Registration for the sweepstakes closes at 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, June 30. In addition to the sweepstakes, the Lego Group is hosting "exclusive launch events" for Lego Insiders at select Lego stores in the United States on June 1.
