There have been some really cool new LEGO sets in 2026 so far. Naturally, many of the most amazing builds are LEGO Exclusives that will almost certainly never be discounted directly. The massive Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith set is one such set, and the $650 price tag makes it a rather expensive LotR gift to buy yourself at full price.
There are sometimes ways to get indirect discounts on LEGO sets, though. Giftcards.com is currently running a promotion that saves you 10% on LEGO eGift cards for a limited time. There doesn’t appear to be a limit and the gift cards can be used to buy anything from the online LEGO Store. Though it’s absolutely worth noting that only three gift cards can be used at once.
This deal was first spotted by IGN’s LEGO editor Chris Reed. He tested the promo code at various price points and there doesn’t seem to be any sort of limit to how high you can go and still get that 10% off. That being said, you can only enter amounts up to $250 and there does appear to be a limit of 50 gift cards. With all that said, how much you save with this deal depends on how much you’re willing to spend.
If you’re hoping to use this discount to buy the LEGO Minas Tirith set, you will need to do a bit of math to stay at that three gift card limit. Thankfully, the website lets you do pretty much any custom amount. The quickest way to get to the price of the set is to buy three gift cards for $216.66 and apply the promo code.
Where to Buy LEGO Minas Tirith
Once you have your three gift cards in your inbox, you’ll need to head over to the online LEGO Store to buy the set. As a LEGO Exclusive, this is the only place you’ll be able to buy it. It’s currently on backorder, so it won’t ship right away. With such an expensive purchase, you’re sure to qualify for a GWP (Gift with Purchase) as well. LEGO gift cards don’t ever expire so you can spend them whenever you want.
Our Review
If you’re unsure about the Minas Tirith set, you can check out Kevin Wong’s step-by-step build of the iconic Middle Earth city. He said this about the build: “LEGO Minas Tirith reaffirms that bar, depicting the race of Men with the same clarity that LEGO Rivendell depicted the race of Elves. It receives our highest recommendation.”
