Lego Minas Tirith may dethrone a fan favorite kit, and my number-one Lego set of all time

I don't say this lightly, but I think Lego Minas Tirith could dethrone what I – and more than a few fans – think might be one of the best Lego sets ever made.

Let's rewind for a second. I've been covering the Bricks from Billund on GamesRadar+ for years now, but one kit has remained my favorite throughout: another Lord of the Rings set, Lego Rivendell. It's incredibly popular amongst the community as well, and tops many other best lists I've seen. Yet with the reveal of (the very impressive) Lego Minas Tirith, it could have met its match.
