LEGOThe rumored Sagrada Família set, which is expected to debut with a record number of pieces, has reportedly been delayed. The massive set is therefore no longer expected to be an early summer 2026 release, with its alleged rescheduling said to be part of a wider wave of internal delays at LEGO.
Rumors of a giant LEGO Architecture set have been circulating online since early 2026. A report in mid-March from the Brick Tap community later identified the mystery model as a brick-built replica of the Sagrada Família, designated set number 21065. The set is expected to contain 12,060 pieces, making it the largest ever by the manufacturer. 11,695 piece LEGO Art World Map. The original report claimed that LEGO's sizable basilica replica was scheduled to hit digital and physical store shelves on July 1, 2026.

LEGO's recently announced Minas Tirith set is causing some confusion among Lord of the Rings fans over its minifigure lineup.
Sagrada Família and several other LEGO sets are reported to be experiencing delays
The rumored July 1st release date is now understood to have been dropped. The Brick Tap community is reporting that the record-breaking Sagrada Família replica has been internally delayed alongside LEGO's 72154 Poke Ball set. Production issues are said to be at the root of both postponements, although the report does not delve into further details. Brick Tap's sources could not provide a revised availability window, suggesting the delay could be significant.
Looking at the slightly bigger picture of LEGO's supply chain leaks, internal product delays at the Danish toymaker typically signal delays ranging from one to three months. Although LEGO normally runs a tight ship where delays are somewhat rare, rescheduling of release dates still happens occasionally, especially for flagship models that span thousands of pieces. Either way, the production challenges the 21065 Sagrada Família is currently said to be facing suggest that the massive replica of Barcelona's famous basilica may miss LEGO's summer 2026 product wave altogether.
The reported delay of 72154 Poké Ball may provide indirect insight into the revised release timing of 21065 Sagrada Família. Back in March, several reliable sources claimed that this sizable set features LEGO's first ever Pokémon minifigures and an early August 2026 release date. Therefore, any other products rescheduled due to the same wave of production challenges will likely hit the market sometime after 72154's original release date. Based on LEGO's historical practice, 21065 Sagrada Família's new release date could very well fall in the fourth quarter of this year, with November 2026 being the most likely candidate.
The real Sagrada Família will be at the center of major commemorations to mark the 100th anniversary of architect Antoni Gaudí's death on June 10, 2026. LEGO's original target for the release window was therefore likely chosen with the goal of making the most of the publicity the Barcelona basilica will enjoy in the first weeks of summer 2002,6. pieces, the upcoming set is sure to provide a major challenge for adult builders and marks another escalation of the trend with LEGO's architecture line showing a growing willingness to tackle larger landmarks, including Notre-Dame de Paris, Neuschwanstein Castle and Himeji Castle.
