LEGO‘s rumored Sagrada Família set, expected to debut with a record-breaking piece count, has reportedly been delayed. The massive set is therefore no longer expected to be an early summer 2026 release, with its purported rescheduling said to be part of a broader wave of internal delays at LEGO.
Rumors of a gigantic LEGO Architecture set have been circulating online since early 2026. A mid-March report from the Brick Tap community later identified the mystery model as a brick-built replica of Sagrada Família, designated as set number 21065. The set is expected to include 12,060 pieces, which would make it the Danish toymaker’s largest release ever, surpassing the 11,695-piece LEGO Art World Map. The original report claimed LEGO’s sizable basilica replica was planned to reach digital and physical store shelves on July 1, 2026.

Sagrada Família and Several Other LEGO Sets Reportedly Hit by Delays
The rumored July 1 release date is now understood to have been dropped. The Brick Tap community reports 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, though the report doesn’t delve into further details. The Brick Tap’s sources could not provide a revised availability window, suggesting the delay may be substantial.
Looking at the slightly bigger picture with LEGO’s supply chain leaks, internal product delays at the Danish toymaker typically signal postponements ranging from one to three months. Though LEGO normally runs a tight ship where delays are a somewhat infrequent occurrence, release date rescheduling still happens on occasion, particularly for flagship models spanning thousands of pieces. In any case, the production challenges that 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 offer indirect insight into the revised release timing of 21065 Sagrada Família. Back in March, several reliable sources claimed that this sizable set has LEGO’s first-ever Pokemon minifigures and an early August 2026 release date. Therefore, any other product 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 practices, 21065 Sagrada Família’s new release date could very well fall within the fourth quarter of the year, with November 2026 being the likeliest candidate.
The real-life Sagrada Família will be at the center of major commemorations marking the 100th anniversary of architect Antoni Gaudí’s death on June 10, 2026. LEGO’s original release window target was thus likely picked with the goal of making the most of the publicity that the Barcelona basilica is set to enjoy in the first few weeks of summer 2026. With over 12,000 pieces, the upcoming set is bound to provide an ample challenge for adult builders and mark yet another escalation of the trend of LEGO’s Architecture line showing a growing willingness to tackle larger landmark builds, including Notre-Dame de Paris, Neuschwanstein Castle, and Himeji Castle.
