LegoThere were rumors that the Sagrada Família set, which was expected to debut in record numbers, had been delayed. As such, the massive set is no longer expected to be released in early summer 2026, with the schedule change reportedly part of a wider wave of internal LEGO delays.
Rumors of a massive LEGO Architecture set have been circulating online since early 2026. A mid-March report from the Brick Tap community later confirmed that the mystery model was a brick-built replica of the Sagrada Família, designated set number 21065. The set is expected to include 12,060 pieces, making it the Danish toymaker's biggest release yet, surpassing the LEGO Art World Map, which had 11,695 pieces. The original report claimed that LEGO's massive replica of the cathedral was scheduled to hit digital and physical store shelves on July 1, 2026.

Sagrada Família and several other LEGO sets reportedly hit by delays
The rumored July 1st release date is now understood to have been dropped. The Brick Tap community has reported that the record-breaking Sagrada Família replica has been internally delayed, along with LEGO's 72154 Poke Ball set. The report doesn't go into further detail, but says production issues were the root cause of both delays. Brick Tap's sources could not provide a revised availability window, suggesting delays could be significant.
Looking at the bigger picture with LEGO's supply chain leaks, internal product delays at the Danish toymaker typically mean delays in the range of one to three months. LEGO typically runs a tight ship with delays being somewhat rare, but release date changes still happen occasionally, especially for flagship models that span thousands of pieces. In any case, the production issues that 21065 Sagrada Família is reportedly currently facing suggest that the massive replica of Barcelona's famous cathedral may miss LEGO's summer 2026 product wave entirely.
The reported delay of 72154 Pokeball may provide indirect insight into the revised release timing of 21065 Sagrada Familia. Back in March, several reliable sources claimed that this sizable set contained a first for LEGO. pokemon Minifigure and release date is early August 2026. Therefore, other rescheduled products due to the same production issues will likely hit the market sometime after 72154's original release date. According to LEGO's historical practices, the new release date for 21065 Sagrada Família could fall within the fourth quarter of this year, with November 2026 being the most likely candidate.
The actual Sagrada Familia will be the center of major commemorations marking the 100th anniversary of architect Antoni Gaudí's death on June 10, 2026. LEGO's original launch window target was therefore likely chosen with the aim of making the most of the publicity that Barcelona Cathedral would enjoy during the first few weeks of summer 2026. With over 12,000 pieces, the upcoming set marks another expansion in the LEGO construction line trend that shows a growing willingness to tackle larger landmark structures, including Notre-Dame de Paris, Neuschwanstein Castle and Himeji Castle.
