As it was written. A second LEGO® Dune set has been foretold, and this time it’s the big one. The worm. THE WORM.
The Lisan al-Gaib has spoken. And by “Lisan al-Gaib” I mean the LEGO® rumor mill, which, if you squint hard enough, is basically the same thing. A prophet is a prophet, dude.
In June 2026, fresh leaks surfaced pointing to a brand new LEGO® Dune set arriving in early 2027, and it’s exactly the model every fan has been thumping the sand for since the Atreides Royal Ornithopter dropped back in 2024. Grab your stillsuit and walk without rhythm. Let’s dig into everything we know.
The Leak: LEGO® Icons 11392 Sandworm
The leak bubbled up through the usual well-sourced corners of the fan community, the same channels that have called past releases with uncanny accuracy. According to the report, LEGO® is preparing Icons 11392 Sandworm: a brick-built recreation of Shai-Hulud itself, the colossal apex predator of Arrakis and the reason the spice must flow in the first place.
Here’s what the rumor mill is reporting so far:
That would make the Sandworm the largest Dune set LEGO® has ever produced, beating out the Ornithopter’s 1,369 pieces by a healthy margin. And at $140 for 1,837 pieces, the price-per-piece math actually beats its predecessor too. The Ornithopter launched at $164.99 for fewer bricks. LEGO® charging less per piece on a sequel set? Bless the Maker and His water, miracles do happen.
Why A Sandworm Set Is A No-Brainer
Think about it. The Ornithopter covered the iconic vehicle. The only thing left in the Dune universe with that level of “I need this on my shelf” energy is the 400-meter death noodle that Paul Atreides surfs across the desert like the galaxy’s most committed adrenaline junkie.
It is genius really. A sandworm is basically the perfect LEGO® display subject: organic, segmented, massive, and instantly recognizable even to people who fell asleep twenty minutes into the first movie (we don’t talk to those people). Picture rows of articulated body segments, that nightmare-fuel triple-hinged mouth full of crystalline teeth, maybe a base sculpted like the dunes of Arrakis. Sheesh. Take my solari.
Whether 11392 ends up being a single posable model or a diorama-style build is still unknown. The rumor doesn’t specify, and no images have leaked. My money’s on something closer to a sculptural display piece (the Icons line loves those), but a diorama with a tiny Paul figure getting absolutely dwarfed by the worm would be toadally cinematic.
The Timing Is No Coincidence: Dune Part Three
Dune: Part Three hits theaters December 18, 2026. The rumored Sandworm release date is January 1, 2027, exactly two weeks later, right when the entire planet is walking out of opening-weekend screenings with sand in their metaphorical boots and money burning a hole in their pockets.
LEGO® did the same dance with the Ornithopter, which landed in February 2024, two weeks before Dune: Part Two released. The marketing machine knows exactly what it’s doing. He who controls the spice controls the universe; he who controls the release calendar controls your wallet.
The Minifigure Wishlist
Nothing about minifigures has leaked yet. Nope. Nothing. But that won’t stop me from speculating irresponsibly, because that’s what I’m here for.
The Ornithopter spoiled us with eight minifigures: Paul, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Duke Leto, Liet-Kynes, Duncan Idaho, and Baron Harkonnen (floating fat suit and all). A second set has a golden opportunity to fill in the roster:
- Fremen Paul Atreides: full stillsuit, maker hooks in hand. This is the one. If LEGO® whiffs on Worm-Rider Paul in a literal sandworm set, I will riot.
- Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen: bald, menacing, ready to knife-fight anyone in the gladiator pit.
- Princess Irulan and Emperor Shaddam IV: round out the Corrino royalty from Part Two.
- Stilgar: purely so I can pose him pointing at the worm yelling “LISAN AL-GAIB!” on my desk forever.
With Part Three bringing back Alia Atreides and the whole Bene Gesserit drama, there’s no shortage of characters LEGO® could mine. Minifig collectors, keep your eyes open, because exclusive figures in licensed Icons sets have a habit of becoming wicked expensive on the aftermarket. Just look at what happened with the rarest LEGO® minifigures over the years.
Meanwhile, The Ornithopter Is Flying Into The Sunset
Here’s the part of the prophecy you actually need to act on. The original LEGO® Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter (10327) is on the retirement list for mid-2026. As in, right about now. As in, if it’s still sitting in your cart, the desert is about to reclaim it.
The set retails for $164.99 with 1,369 pieces and those eight exclusive minifigures, and it’s still sitting right around retail price on the aftermarket while stock lasts. Once production stops and shelves empty out, that math changes. It always does. First-and-only sets from a licensed theme with exclusive minifigs don’t tend to stay cheap after they’re gone. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it. Buy one to build and one to keep sealed (please).
And if you’re wondering why LEGO® kills off perfectly good sets in the first place, I wrote up the whole sordid business of why LEGO® retires sets. Spoiler: scarcity is the spice of the brick economy.
How Big Will This Thing Actually Be?
Let’s do some napkin math, because 1,837 pieces of worm could go a couple of different directions. If LEGO® builds it long and segmented (the obvious approach), we could be looking at a model well over two feet in length, especially if the segments are hollow tubes rather than solid brick. For comparison, the Ornithopter stretches about 22 inches wing-to-wing from 1,369 pieces, and a worm doesn’t waste parts on landing gear or a cockpit interior.
The real design question is the mouth. Shai-Hulud’s gaping, baleen-from-hell maw is the single most recognizable image in the franchise, and if LEGO® nails it with layered translucent or pearlescent teeth elements, this set sells itself. If they fumble it, well… the worm sign was there and we ignored it. Either way, I’d expect a sand-toned display base and a nameplate, because the Icons line never met a nameplate it didn’t like.
The Bigger Leak Wave: Arrakis Isn’t Alone
The Sandworm didn’t leak in a vacuum. The same drop included Icons 11395 Oliphaunt, a 2,017-piece Mûmak from The Lord of the Rings, also pegged for January 1, 2027. Between that, Barad-dûr, and the Balrog Book Nook, LEGO®’s big-license Icons strategy is crystal clear: take the most jaw-dropping creature or location from a beloved franchise, brick it, and watch adult fans of LEGO® empty their wallets like Fremen handing over water debts. (The LOTR theme has been on an absolute tear lately; see the Barad-dûr saga for proof.)
It is working. On all of us. I have made peace with this.
Should You Believe The Leaks?
Standard disclaimer: LEGO® has not confirmed any of this, and until official images drop, every detail (piece count, price, even the set’s existence) can change. That said, the sourcing behind this one has a strong track record, the set number fits LEGO®’s 2027 Icons numbering, and the release timing lines up perfectly with Part Three. The fear is the mind-killer, but this leak smells legit.
My verdict: if the Sandworm lands anywhere close to the rumored specs, it’s a day-one buy without question. A $140 price tag for the biggest Dune set ever made, timed to the trilogy finale, with the most iconic creature in modern sci-fi? Sign me up. Say no more.
