LEGO 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith is nearly here, and you can secure one siege weapon at launch, but a Botanicals set is key to a second.
It hasn't taken long for the online LEGO community to imagine expansions to 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith ahead of its launch on June 1 for LEGO Insiders or June 4 widely. The £579.99 / €649.99 / $649.99 set comes with a free 40893 The Lord of the Rings: Grond until June 7 or while stocks last.
The siege weapon is designed to be at the same scale as the microscale exterior of 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith, though the interior of the first walls is to scale with minifigures.
Whether you want to display 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith with minifigures on the outside or not, Grond is going to be alone on the battlefield without some custom expansions.
The base set doesn't come with any siege weapons, and you may miss out on the Grond gift-with-purchase. That's where lux.bricks from Rebrickable comes in. They've designed a Siege Tower to go with the first-ever Minas Tirith set, and all you need for it is a Botanicals set.

Their rebuild of 10281 Bonsai Tree transforms the potted plant into a LEGO siege tower with two folding ramps, wheels and an optional plinth to display it on. All you need to build it is the instructions for €4.99 from Rebrickable and 10281 Bonsai Tree for £44.99 / $49.99 / €49.99.
When you're already spending £579.99 / €649.99 / $649.99 on 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith and the Grond gift-with-purchase, such an expansion is a relatively inexpensive addition to boost your Minas Tirith display. It's something to keep in mind before Minas Tirith launches on June 1 for LEGO Insiders or June 4 widely.
