A giant Sandworm is reportedly the next big Lego Icons set from the Dune universe, and the leaked details make it look like one of the better value propositions the line has put out in years.
Set 11392, pegged as Dune: Sandworm, is reportedly a 1,837-piece build priced at $140, with a target launch date of January 1, 2027. Lego has not officially announced the set, but the leak comes from a source with a strong track record in the Lego community.

What the numbers actually tell you
Here's the thing: $140 for 1,837 pieces is genuinely competitive for a Lego Icons set. The existing Dune Ornithopter (set 10327) launched at $165 for 1,369 pieces, which works out to roughly 12 cents per brick. The Sandworm flips that ratio considerably, landing closer to 7.6 cents per piece. For Dune fans who felt the Ornithopter was a bit steep for what you got, that gap is hard to ignore.
The timing lines up neatly with where the franchise sits right now. Dune: Part Three is still in active development, which means Lego has a commercial window to keep Arrakis in front of buyers well into next year. A January 2027 shelf date would drop the set right as anticipation for the third film starts building in earnest.
The Sandworm alongside a Lord of the Rings giant
The Dune set isn't the only Icons leak making the rounds. A Lord of the Rings Oliphaunt diorama (set 11395) has surfaced alongside it, reportedly targeting the same January 2027 date. That one comes in at 2,017 pieces and centers on the Mûmak war elephant from The Return of the King, complete with minifigures. No price has surfaced for the Oliphaunt yet, but the piece count puts it in a similar bracket to The Shire set (10354), which launched at the equivalent of roughly $285.
Both sets sit under the Icons banner, which has become Lego's home for large-scale licensed display builds aimed at adult collectors. The line has been expanding steadily, and a Sandworm fits the format well: it's a visually distinct, instantly recognizable creature that translates naturally into a sculptural brick build.
Where Dune fits in Lego's licensed universe
Lego's Dune line launched with the Ornithopter as its centerpiece, and it performed well enough to justify expanding the range. A Sandworm at this price point would give the collection a proper anchor, something large and display-worthy that goes beyond vehicles and structures.
What most players and collectors miss when a set like this leaks is that the piece-per-dollar ratio often tells you more about LEGO's confidence in a license than the set itself does. Pricing the Sandworm below the Ornithopter suggests Lego wants broader accessibility for this one, not just the hardcore collectors who will buy anything with the Dune name on it.
