LEGOThe announced Sagrada Família set, which is expected to debut with a record number of pieces, has reportedly been delayed. The massive set is therefore not expected to be released until early summer 2026, with its alleged rescheduling part of a wider wave of internal delays at LEGO.
Rumors of a gigantic LEGO Architecture set have been circulating online since early 2026. A Brick Tap community report from mid-March later identified the mystery model as a brick-built replica of the Sagrada Família, labeled as set number 21065. The set is expected to contain 12,060 pieces, which would make it the largest Danish manufacturer. 11,695 piece LEGO art world map. The original report claimed that the large LEGO basilica replica was set to hit digital and physical store shelves on July 1, 2026.

The newly announced LEGO Minas Tirith set is causing confusion among Lord of the Rings fans regarding the line of minifigures.
Sagrada Família and several other LEGO sets reportedly hit by delays
It is now understood that the supposed July 1st release date has been scrapped. The Brick Tap community reports that the record-breaking Sagrada Família replica has been internally shelved along with the LEGO 72154 Poke Ball set. Both delays are said to be due to production issues, although the report did not elaborate further. Brick Tap sources could not provide a revised availability window, suggesting that the delay could be significant.
Looking at the slightly bigger picture of LEGO supply chain leaks, internal product delays at the Danish toymaker typically signal delays of between one and three months. Although LEGO normally runs a tight ship where delays are a somewhat rare occurrence, release date rescheduling still happens on occasion, especially for flagship models involving thousands of pieces. In any case, the production challenges currently facing 21065 Sagrada Família suggest that the massive replica of Barcelona's famous basilica may miss the summer 2026 LEGO product wave entirely.
The reported delay of 72154 Poké Ball may offer an indirect insight into the revised release timing of 21065 Sagrada Família. Back in March, multiple reliable sources claimed that this dimensional set had a LEGO first ever Pokemon minifigures and a release date of early August 2026. Therefore, any other product rescheduled due to the same wave of production challenges will likely hit the market sometime after the original release date of 72154. Based on LEGO's historical practices, the new release date of 21065 Sagrada Família could very well fall in the fourth quarter of the year, with November 2026 being the most likely candidate.
The real Sagrada Família will be the center of great celebrations on the 100th anniversary of the death of the architect Antoni Gaudí on June 10, 2026. So the original goal of the LEGO release was probably chosen to make the most of the publicity that the Barcelona basilica is going to enjoy in the first weeks of 26.2 the coming summer of 2000000 to provide enough challenge for adult builders and mark a further escalation of the LEGO Architecture series trend showing a growing willingness to embark on of larger buildings, including Notre-Dame de Paris, Neuschwanstein Castle and Himeji Castle.
