Lego Breaks Records With Massive 12,060-Piece Sagrada Família Set
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Lego has revealed its largest set ever, a 12,060-piece replica of Barcelona's Sagrada Família priced at $799.99, with building instructions that mirror the real-world construction sequence of the historic basilica.
For builders looking for their next major offline project, Lego has just revealed a colossal new set that completely redefines the scale of its Architecture line. According to a report by Polygon, the company has announced the Lego Architecture Sagrada Família, a staggering 12,060-piece recreation of Barcelona's famous landmark. This massive build easily surpasses previous record holders, leaving recent heavy-hitting releases like the Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith set looking remarkably small by comparison.
What makes this release particularly interesting for dedicated builders is the construction process itself. Lego designed the building instructions to mirror the actual chronological sequence of the basilica. Builders will start with the foundational apse and crypt, move through the original Nativity and Passion façades, and eventually work their way up to the grand naves and six iconic towers. The design team also paid special attention to replicating the complex stained-glass window effects that define the real monument.
Of course, a physical project of this magnitude comes with a serious investment attached. The Sagrada Família set carries a retail price of $799.99, targeting hardcore collectors and enthusiasts who treat complex building sets as long-term display pieces. Pre-orders are live now, with the official shipping date scheduled for November 1. You can read the original coverage over at Polygon.
