The buzz around the return of Toy Story to the LEGO Group's lineup is definitely picking up steam for 2026, as another set will be joining the previously rumoured 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook . In particular, this is 43306 Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, which doesn't have an exact release date but is expected to be released this Spring. The 9+ model retails for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99, with a piece count also currently still unconfirmed. Based on the rumoured price point and age rating, we can expect that 43306 will be an entirely brick-built version of Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear, similar in size and style to the likes of 43249 Stitch and January's 43286 The Aristocats Adorable Marie . The buildable figure of the antagonist of Toy Story 3 will be standing upright but with posability in his head, body, arms and legs to patch the plush on-screen look. Lotso's head will likely be the most detailed section of the build, possibly including printed elements for the bear's eyes, nose and mouth to capture the friendly yet slightly worn expression of the strawberry-smelling character. Further details of the figure may include his cute ears, rounded belly and chest, and his brown walking stick. 43306 will capture Lotso perfectly, being complete with his iconic magenta-pink and cream colour scheme. 43306 Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear Set Name - Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear Set Number - 43306 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - Spring 2026 43306 Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear is releasing in Spring 2026, but what do you think?

The 2026 expansion of the LEGO Creator Postcard subtheme shifts its focus to the heart of Europe and one of the LEGO Group's largest markets with the arrival of 40954 Germany Postcard. The 9+ model has been officially revealed today, and it's the latest brick-built postcard following on from 2025's 40818 Italy Postcard . The April 2026 set includes a total of 240 pieces retailing for the usual price of $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99. Just like previous LEGO postcard builds, 40954 is centred on a small, microscale 3D display measuring over 4.5 inches (11 cm) high, 5.5 inches (14 cm) wide and 1.5 inches (5 cm) deep. At the forefront of the kid-friendly display is a nameplate where builders can choose between a sticker that reads 'Germany' or one that reads 'Deutschland'. The background and mid-ground of the set then consists of several distinct German architectural structures. These iconic LEGO microscale landmarks include Munich's New Town Hall, the Brandenburg Gate and a German castle, which looks to reference the LEGO Architecture  theme with 21063 Neuschwanstein Castle . In addition to the buildings, 40954 Germany Postcard also incorporates two small vehicle builds of a red car and a high-speed train to represent Germany's famous transport industry. 40954 Germany Postcard Set Name - Germany Postcard Set Number - 40954 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 240 Price - $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 40954 Germany Postcard releases on the 1st of April 2026, but what do you think?

The latest instalment to the global multi-year partnership between LEGO and Nike is here, as the two iconic brands have officially presented two more physical LEGO products. Following on from 43008 NIKE Dunk With Logo & Basketball , both 43010 and 43021 are the latest brick-built creations as part of LEGO and Nike's ever-growing partnership, celebrating imagination, creativity, play and sport once they release on the 1st of September 2025. 43010 Nike Slam Dunk 43010 Nike Slam Dunk is a vibrant diorama that captures the moment of a dramatic basketball dunk. The focal point of the 10+ build is a brick-built basketball player in a vibrant blue Nike-branded basketball vest. The figure is posed mid-air, leaping off the ground with one arm stretched holding an orange basketball, whilst the other is used to help keep balance during this powerful movement into the orange hoop with a transparent backboard. The basketball star figure, which has a customisable Nike jersey and trainers, has posable arms and head, but limited movement elsewhere. The player stands on top of a small section of a colourful basketball court. The base is decorated with shades of blue and tan, along with some further white tiled elements to represent court markings. The 809-piece set is then complete with a printed scoreboard attached to the long black technic pole of the basketball hoop. Set Name - Nike Slam Dunk Set Number - 43010 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 809 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 43021 Nike Dunk Trickshot 43021 was previously rumoured to be a brick-built version of the iconic Nike swoosh logo, but instead combines elements of both 43008 and 43010 to create more of an entry-level LEGO Nike  set. The 10+ model, the cheapest Nike-branded set yet retailing for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99, is another, much smaller colourful diorama build. It includes an exclusive LEGO Nike  Minifigure standing on top of a red "St. Johns" low top. The Dunk is attached to a movable LEGO board underneath, allowing you to move the shoe and make the figure dunk into the hoop at the front of the model. In the background of 43021 is a range of colourful tiles and exclusive Nike prints to create a very creative and customisable display model, just like 43010 Nike Slam Dunk . Set Name - Nike Dunk Trickshot Set Number - 43021 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 454 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 These two LEGO Nike  sets are releasing on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing the two models in a couple of weeks time? Have you already purchased July's 43008 NIKE Dunk With Logo & Basketball ? What else would you like to see from the LEGO Nike  theme in 2026 and beyond? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

The LEGO Group has been busy revealing multiple sets for the LEGO Ideas theme over the past few weeks, from brick-built animals such as 21376 Orange Cat and 21366 Floating Sea Otters to the first-ever Snoopy-branded LEGO set, 21368 Peanuts: Snoopy's Doghouse . However, before Snoopy and Woodstock appear in brick-built LEGO form on the 1st of June 2026, another LEGO Ideas set is scheduled to launch... In particular, it's rumoured that Tintin will be making its brick-built debut with the release of 21367 Tintin's Moon Rocket on the 1st of April 2026. The 18+ model will include a total of 1,283 pieces retailing for $159.99 / €159.99 / £139.99. The Spring 2026 set is based on Tkel86's original submission entitled 'Tintin - Space Rocket', which recreated the famous rocket used by Tintin and his companions in just under 1,700 pieces. The official build, while much smaller in terms of piece count, is still the perfect tribute and debt model for Tintin in LEGO. The set is based on the iconic rocket from The Adventures of Tintin, first seen in the classic comic Destination Moon. The tall rocket build will include its classic red-and-white checkerboard pattern on the body, along with the option to break the outer space build into segments. These segments may open up to reveal internal sections consisting of a cockpit with control consoles and pilot seats, a living quarters with hammocks and bunk beds, and the engine room, for example. Meanwhile, the launch tower included in the original submission will likely be scaled down, resulting in more of a side build for the 18+ model. Rather than a full-height gantry, it will probably be a partial docking arm that can still interact with the main rocket build. Another interesting change from the original design by Tkel86 is the inclusion of LEGO Minifigures . Reports suggest that Minifigures will be included in the $160 set and, even though these aren't yet confirmed, it will almost definitely be Tintin featuring a specialised hair mould for his quiff and potentially the likes of Snowy, Captain Haddock and Professor Caculus in their orange space suits. 21367 Tintin's Moon Rocket Set Name - Tintin's Moon Rocket Set Number - 21367 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,283 Price - $159.99 / €159.99 / £139.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 21367 Tintin's Moon Rocket releases on the 1st of April 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21367 in a few weeks? Are you happy to be finally getting LEGO Tintin in 2026? What Tintin-themed characters are you hoping to see as LEGO Minifigures in 21367? What other LEGO Ideas sets and brand-new licenses are you looking forward to in 2026? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Yes, you read that right! The LEGO Group and Nintendo will finally be giving us Mario LEGO Minifigures, drifting away from the traditional digfig LEGO Super Mario sets seen since the theme's launch in 2020. This announcement, teased on LEGO and Nintendo's various social media channels, comes after the official reveal of 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8, but is arguably the much bigger, unexpected and more anticipated news coming out of Mario Day. The short teaser video shared by both the LEGO Group and Nintendo shows a green warp pipe before a Minifigure-scale version of Mario jumps out. The design closely follows the standard LEGO Minifigure format with printed blue overalls and a red torso, while the head and hat appear to be a specially moulded element to capture Mario's iconic look and moustache. The clip ends with a simple message confirming that these new products will arrive in 2027. Since the launch of the LEGO Super Mario theme in 2020, characters such as Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach have only been represented in brick-built LEGO form as large, specialised interactive electronic figures. Each figure has only been available in its respective starter course set, which are all due to retire by the end of 2026. In fact, nearly every LEGO Super Mario set currently on shelves, apart from three 18+ branded models, is expected to reach its end of life on or before the 31st of December 2026. The gaming theme will start from a clean slate with the 2027 range, finally introducing traditional Minifigure versions of the iconic Super Mario characters - something fans have wanted since day one of the theme. At this stage, neither LEGO nor Nintendo has revealed any specific sets or product lines, but the ever-reliable maxbautde on Instagram has stated that, along with the revealed LEGO Mario Minifigure, we can also expect Luigi, Bowser, and Yoshi at the very least. Bowser will be represented as a LEGO bigifg while the Yoshi figure will include a shell that can be removed to place a LEGO Minifigure on the character's back. We can expect further characters too, such as Peach, Toad, Daisy, Rosalina, Donkey Kong, and so much more. The move to Minifigure scale will also allow the theme to expand with further playsets of iconic levels and locations across the Super Mario universe. We may also see further display models that aren't just targeted to the older adult audience, such as the highly popular 71411 The Mighty Bowser. For now, the teaser simply confirms that the world of Super Mario will finally be becoming LEGO Minifigure scale in 2027, but what do you think? How excited are you for the LEGO Super Mario Minifigures? What iconic characters would you like to see as Minifigures? Will you be sad to see the end of the digital course-building system? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Happy Mario Day, brick-builders, as the LEGO Group are celebrating the iconic Nintendo character with a brand new set reveal. In particular, this is 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8, which has been officially presented following its initial social media tease in January. 72050 will become the first LEGO Super Mario set of 2026, as LEGO has put a lot of its gaming budget towards the debut year of the LEGO Pokémon theme. The latest 18+ set for the licensed gaming theme releases on the 1st of April 2026 and is the perfect companion to last year's extremely popular 72037 Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart. 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8, however, retails for $10 more at $179.99 / €179.99 / £159.99 but also includes almost 300 more pieces at a piece count of 2,234. These pieces create a large-scale brick-built version of the character Luigi driving his Mach 8 kart, which first appears in the Wii U's Mario Kart 8 The build for Luigi is very similar to Mario from 72037, but with obvious differences in the character's face and clothing. Luigi has a longer and slightly thinner face, still complete with printed blue eyes, a large printed L on his green hat and his iconic mustache which is again slightly different to his brothers' and utilises a new piece. The plumber turned racer is then complete with his green and dark blue dungarees, yellow buttons, brown shoes and white gloves. Again, like Mario, Luigi is permanently seated in his brick-built LEGO kart, but there is movement in the gaming character's face, arms and hands to recreate the signature cheering pose. The kart build perfectly recreates the Mach 8, which resembles both a jet with a turbine-shaped grille and a Formula 1 car from the 1950s. Coloured in its usual mix of blue and yellow, the vehicle is larger and more sturdy than Mario's Standard Kart The wheels in particular are especially big with some exclusive red, black and grey printing on the wheel covers. Two of the biggest play features of the 18+ model are the ability to actually move and drive the car, with the ability to use the steering wheel to turn left and right. Meanwhile, the vibrant brick-built flame exhaust at the back of Mach 8 spins automatically as the vehicle moves. All of this is placed on a black stand, reminiscent of the one seen in 72037 Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart. 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8 Set Name - Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8 Set Number - 72050 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,234 Price - $179.99 / €179.99 / £159.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8 releases on the 1st of April 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 72037 in months time? Do you already own last year's 72037 Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart? What other LEGO Super Mario sets would you like to see in 2026?

In the meantime, the LEGO Group are preparing us for this big year of Mandalorian and the ever-cute Grogu with plenty of sets releasing based on both the TV series and the upcoming movie. This even includes some of the eight brand new sets launching on the 1st of January 2026... 75436 The Mandalorian & Grogu's Speeder Bike The smallest and cheapest set of the Winter 2026 LEGO Star Wars  wave is 75436 The Mandalorian & Grogu's Speeder Bike. The 6+ set is one of many LEGO sets based on the popular Disney+ series in 2026 as Mando and Grogu prepare to hit the big screen in May. 75436 is an easy and cheap way to obtain both Din Djarin and Grogu in LEGO Minifigure  form, along with Mando's sleek and extremely small speeder bike.

Middle-earth looks set to expand again in brick-built LEGO form as a brand new LEGO The Lord of the Rings model is rumoured to be releasing in 2026. The LEGO Group has steadily rebuilt its Lord of the Rings portfolio since its grand return in 2023, with this year in particular featuring two sets from the epic high-fantasy novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. And in 2026, we'll see at least another two sets: the previously reported 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron Bust and an entirely brick-built version of Minas Tirith. Details for the rumoured set are extremely sparse, with no set number, piece count or price for the 18+ model first reported by the Brick Tap discord server. However, several reliable sources from the server are reporting the LEGO Icons -branded model Minifigure lineup. In particular, it's expected that Minas Tirith will include Gandalf the White, King Aragorn, Pippin, Denethor and Faramir, along with three or four Gondor soldiers. With a Minifigure scale build now confirmed, thanks to the corroboration of eight or nine Minifigures included in the rumoured set, we expect this large-scale Minas Tirith build to fall between the 4,000 and 6,000-piece range. This would place the set on a similar scale to 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr and will likely utilise the same technique that the 2024 model did of creating Minifigure-scale interiors, but with exterior details built in a microscale. This is mainly because Minas Tirith, acting as the capital city of Gondor, is absolutely huge. The city is built into a mountain, expands across seven levels, and is surrounded by a great defensive wall known as the Ramas Echor. All of this and more will require a lot of LEGO elements and at a high retail price, but the LEGO Group and their talented designers have shown they can accurately recreate iconic Lord of the Rings locations through both the previously mentioned Barad-dûr and 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell . As for what else might be included in the build, fans can reasonably expect key landmarks such as the White Tower of Ecthelion, the Fountain Court, and the Great Gate at the city’s base. Decorative elements like the Tree of Gondor, banners bearing the White City’s insignia, and detailed wall sections could add further authenticity. With the LEGO Group’s track record of balancing cinematic accuracy with clever part usage, Minas Tirith could become one of the most intricate and visually striking LEGO The Lord of the Rings sets to date. It'll be interesting once further details are confirmed, exactly how a brick-built Minas Tirith will be recreated in brick-built LEGO form in 2026, and whether it'll be another expensive purchase for fans of the original Middle-earth novel. LEGO Icons version of Minas Tirith from The Lord of the Rings is rumoured to be releasing in 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing the 18+ model next year? What do you expect to see included in the Icons-branded model? Are you happy with the rumoured Minifigure lineup? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

The shadows of Mordor are lengthening once again as LEGO has officially revealed 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet following an initial leak earlier this month. The latest LEGO Icons LOTR model releases on the 1st of March 2026, retailing for $69.99 / €74.99 / £64.99 with 538 pieces included. 11373 will be the first of two Middle-earth inspired sets in 2026, with a brick-built version of the Minas Tirith coming under the set number 11377 on the 1st of June 2026. But returning to 11373, the 18+ model captures the Dark Lord in his most iconic form, with his menacing helmet from the beloved movie trilogy recreated in brick-built LEGO form. The almost 600 pieces included mainly focus on shaping the distinctive jagged crown-like spikes that rise from the helm. This creates a striking desk display model of Sauron, which measures over 13 inches (33 cm) high, 5 inches (13 cm) wide, and 5 inches (13 cm) deep. The bust is almost entirely coloured grey, with the eyes even being left empty rather than including a hint of trans orange to suggest the fiery Eye of Sauron glare. Along with the brick-built Sauron, a LEGO Minifigure version of the dark, powerful character is also included, identical to his appearance in 10333 The Lord Of The Rings: Barad-Dûr. The helmet and Minifigure are then placed on a simple black display stand, similar to 76326 Iron Spider-Man Bust and 76327 Iron Man MK4 Bust released last year. 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet Set Name - The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet Set Number - 11373 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 538 Price - $69.99 / €74.99 / £64.99 Release Date - 1st March 2026 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet releases on the 1st of March 2026, but what do you think?

While the tracks are heating up in preparation for the 2026 Formula 1 season, the LEGO Group is fueling the fire with their massive multi-year F1 partnership, which has already dominated the LEGO Speed Champions and LEGO Technic product range. However, one of the most anticipated additions to the lineup arrives on the 1st of May 2026, when LEGO shifts gears to a new collector-focused LEGO Editions line. In particular, a total of five entirely brick-built Formula LEGO helmets are reportedly being released in just two months. Following our first look at 43014 Scuderia Ferrari HP Charles Leclerc Helmet , fuelforfans.com have now also leaked images of another Ferrari driver's helmet: 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet. The 14+ LEGO Editions  branded model includes 884 pieces retailing for $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99. Designed for collectors and passionate supporters alike, 43022 includes an entirely brick-built recreation of Lewis Hamilton's 2025 helmet. Unlike the classic and iconic Ferrari red, this model is dominated by a vibrant yellow colour scheme, staying true to the personal branding Lewis carried into his debut season in Formula 1 and with the Scuderia. Further details include prints and stickers of the Ferrari logo, various sponsors associated with the Italian team and Hamilton's own logo and number 44. The Ferrari-branded helmet is placed on a standard black display stand with a printed or stickered display plaque at the front of the stand. This included the name "Lewis Hamilton", the seven-time World Champion's signature, the Ferrari badge and the team's main sponsor's logo, HP. Just like the Charles Leclerc edition, a major draw for this $90 2026 set is the inclusion of an exclusive Lewis Hamilton LEGO Minifigure with unique torso, leg and face printing. 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet Set Name - Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet Set Number - 43022 Age Range - 14+ Piece Count - 884 Price - $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 Release Date - 1st May 2026 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think?

The Ferrari-branded helmet is placed on a standard black display stand with a printed or stickered display plaque at the front of the stand. This included the words "Charles Leclerc", the driver's signature, the Ferrari badge and the team's main sponsor's logo, HP.
