  • First Leaked Images of LEGO Icons 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook | June 2025

    J ust one more set has yet to be officially revealed ahead of its 1st of June 2025 release but now, thanks to very.co.uk , we have our first leaked images 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook. The 18+ model is the second set of 2025 based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth The Lord of the Rings and the third as part of the brand new Book Nook collection which also debuts at the beginning of next month. 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook recreates the legendary confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and Durin's Bane, the Balrog, on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. The 18+ model includes a total of 1,201 pieces, retailing for $129.99 / €119.99 / £109.99. Once it releases on the 1st of June 2025, the LEGO Icons model will be exclusive to both LEGO stores and LEGO shop@home, with a reveal expected on Tuesday, the 27th of May. Booknooks are custom displays designed to fit on a bookshelf between novels, depicting everything from a miniature world to a scene based on a popular story. This new line of sets offers a unique way to display iconic brick-built scenes from beloved stories, whilst also having a purpose-built use for your ever-expanding bookshelf. 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook can be built in two different ways. The first is shaped like and somewhat resembles an actual book, but with the sides and front of the book somewhat open to reveal the tantalising Middle-earth scene. Plenty of grey elements, used to represent the stone of the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, can be seen to create the outline and structure of a brick-built book. Peering into the book-shaped build, we can see the back of Gandalf the Grey whilst he battles with the mighty Balrog. The Balrog, Durin's Bane, itself is a focal point of the set, capturing the large and highly detailed figure in brick-built LEGO form. The wings are the same as those from The Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast GWP, but with the ability to move them around, along with the Balrog's limbs and head, for example. Having the set built the alternative way, with both sides opened, creates a facade and 18+ diorama, allowing a more detailed perspective of the legendary confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and Durin's Bane. With LEGO flame elements and plenty of transparent orange and red pieces used to simulate the fire and shadow of the Balrog, a lot more of the overall scenery and background can be seen. 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook is unfortunately the Book Nook with the least amount of Minifigures, releasing on the 1st of June 2025. Gandalf The Grey is the only figure included in the 18+ model who comes with two accessories of a staff and a sword. The character is also placed on a small brick-built stand/plaque that can be easily attached and reattached to the overall Book Nook build. This stand also includes an iconic printed quote: "You shall not pass!". 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook Set Name - The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook Set Number - 10367 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,201 Price - $129.99 / €119.99 / £104.99 Release Date - 1st June 2025 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook releases on the 1st of June 2025, but what do you think?

  • LEGO Star Wars Rumoured August 2025 Sets

    The May the Fourth celebrations may have finished quite a while ago, whilst the second season of Andor has also very quickly come and gone, but 2025 still has plenty of excitement and adventure left for the LEGO Star Wars theme. The licensed theme will see a total of nine sets launch on the 1st of August 2025, including the already revealed 75434 K-2SO Security Droid and the second of three UCS models releasing this calendar year... 75413 Turbo Tank The first set on this list is one which has received multiple rumours, but the most recent reports suggest that 75413 will be a brick-built interpretation of HAVw A6 Juggernaut, which is more commonly known as the clone Turbo Tank. With just 813 pieces retailing for $159.99 / €149.99 / £139.99, the armoured 10-wheeled tank is massively undersized but still includes those wheels in a brick-built form, along with the built-in observation post. Luckily, LEGO will be releasing at least four entirely exclusive Minifigures in the 9+ model. Commander Bacara and Ki-Adi-Mundi are included along with two Galactic Marines. These prominent military units of clone troopers include very unique, mainly red, armour, and this will likely be translated into LEGO brick-built form in an even more unique way. These figures will likely be highly sought after and therefore cost a decent amount on the after market... Set Name - Turbo Tank Set Number - 75413 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 813 Price - $159.99 / €149.99 / £139.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75414 Hot Rod T-47 Many fans would assume from the set name that we would be getting the Hot Rod T-47 Snowpseeder commonly seen on the planet Hoth, but in fact 75414 is based on the popular LEGO Star Wars Rebuild the Galaxy show. The Snowspeeder styled as a 'hot rod' includes a bright red and yellow colour scheme along with three Minifigures of Sig Greebling, Dev Greebling and a single Duro. Set Name - Hot Rod T-47 Set Number - 75414 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 349 Price - $54.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75417 AT-ST The largest set releasing this summer is 75417 AT-ST, which is the latest LEGO Star Wars 18+ model and the second of three UCS sets releasing this year. This large edition of the iconic walker will include around 500 more pieces than its previous iteration, with a piece count of 1,513 retailing for $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99. At least one Minifigure is included of an AT-ST pilot, but there's the potential for further to be included with the 18+ display model. Set Name - AT-ST Set Number - 75417 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,513 Price - $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75430 Ewok Buildable characters have become extremely popular in recent years, and on the 1st of August 2025, we'll see a large buildable version of an Ewok. The 12+ model includes a total of 1,010 pieces retailing for $119.99 / €119.99 / £104.99. Expect an extremely detailed and complex build to create the little fellow's fur and overall relatively cute creature. The Eowk will most likely be the character Wicket who finds Leia on Endor. Set Name - Ewok Set Number - 75430 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 1,010 Price - $119.99 / €119.99 / £104.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75431 327th Star Corp Battle Pack Following on from June's 75412 Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack, another much large LEGO Star Wars Battle Pack is releasing on the 1st of August 2025. 75431 327th Star Corp Battle Pack includes a total of seven Minifigures of four 327th Clone Troopers distinguished by their yellow markings and three Super Battle Droids. The clones get a brick-built yellow AT-RT walker whilst the droids are supported by a spider droid. Set Name - 327th Star Corp Battle Pack Set Number - 75431 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 258 Price - $44.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter Another Republic Starfighter will be joining the two LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars Starfighters which were released all the way back in January. This Starfighter in particular is 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter which includes 567 pieces retailing for $64.99 / €64.99 / £54.99. A total of three Minifigures are included in the 9+ model of a clone pilot , Obi-Wan Kenobi , and Asajj Ventress. Set Name - V-19 Torrent Starfighter Set Number - 75432 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 567 Price - $64.99 / €64.99 / £54.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75433 Jango Fett's Slave I 2025 has very much been the year for Jango Fett with the bounty hunter already having a UCS model and a brick-built 18+ helmet. But on the 1st of August 2025, the character will see his beloved Slave I Starship recreated as a brick-built playset. 75433 includes a total of 707 pieces retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 with reportedly another three Minifigures included of Jango Fett, Boba Fett and an unnamed Kaminoan. Set Name - Jango Fett's Slave I Set Number - 75433 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 707 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75434 K-2SO Security Droid 75434 K-2SO Security Droid is the only set on this list which has already been revealeed as the 10+ model celebrated the launch of Andor Season 2 last month. With 845 pieces included retailing for $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99, K-2SO is built on a similar scale to previous LEGO Droid builds like 75379 R2-D2 and 75398 C-23PO. 75434 is designed primarily for display, but with articulated limbs, it can be posed in multiple different ways. Set Name - K-2SO Security Droid Set Number - 75434 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 845 Price - $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 75435 Clone Wars MTT Last but not least we have 75435 which includes a brick-built version a Multi Troop Transport (MTT) unit based on the Clone Wars.

  • LEGO Marvel 76329 Miles Morales Mask Rumoured For July 2025

    The only LEGO Marvel set we haven't seen official pictures of yet, releasing this year, is a brand new brick-built helmet/bust/mask, 76329 Miles Morales Mask. The latest 18+ display model includes a total of 487 pieces, retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. 76329 is the only LEGO Marvel set, and one of just a handful of models from LEGO's large portfolio of themes to be releasing on the 1st of July 2025. In early April, LEGO gave us official images of two previously rumoured LEGO Marvel helmet sets. These turned out to be a completely brand-new brick-built collection to the LEGO Marvel Universe: mini superhero busts. Both 76326 and 76327 Iron Man MK4 Busts were the sets in question that were officially presented, and so you would expect 76329 to follow suit with this brand new subtheme of display models... However, nothing has currently been confirmed, and with LEGO deciding not to reveal 76329 alongside the 18+ models, we wouldn't be surprised if this brick-built Miles Morales Mask was actually a Mask just like the former LEGO Marvel 18+ busts. A $10 higher price also indicates that 76329 will most likely be an actual brick-built Mask, very similar in style and build to 2024s 76285 Spider-Man's Mask. Presuming 76329 Miles Morales Mask is more similar to previous LEGO Marvel helmets, we can expect a highly detailed and complex recreation of a dominantly black mask, which reflects Miles' stealthier suit and look. Just like Spider-Man, we can expect large white elements to be used to recreate the superhero's eyes, which will also include some bright red borders and webbing details to further complement the mask. Once again, just like previous LEGO Marvel 18+ models, we can expect a simple black display stand along with a small printed name plate. Together, the overall build will be very similar to the Peter Park version, but in this more stealth-like dark colour scheme and with possibly some more expressive feature,s retailing for the exact same price of $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. 76329 Miles Morales Mask Set Name - Miles Morales Mask Set Number - 76329 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 487 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st July 2025 76329 Miles Morales Mask releases on the 1st of July 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 76329 in a months time? Will the 18+ model be the normal brick-built helmets or part of the brand new mini superhero busts collection? What LEGO Marvel sets would you like to see release in 2026? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

  • LEGO Ideas 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine Officially Revealed | June 2025

    One of the final sets to be officially revealed for June 2025 has finally been presented, and it's one of the most anticipated and Minifigure-packed models releasing in less than two weeks' time. In particular, this is the second LEGO Ideas model launching on the 1st of June 2025, of 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine. The 66th ever LEGO Ideas set includes a total of 1,343 pieces, retailing for $179.99 / €169.99  / £149.99. Originally designed by Rob Vangansewinkel (aka Goosestore), the Minifigure Vending Machine was officially approved by LEGO in May 2024, and just over a year later becomes an official set. Inspired by vintage coin-operated prize and gumball machines, the 18+ model blends clever mechanics with brick-building LEGO fun. The build and idea of a red brick-built Minifigure prize machine (or vending machine as it's been officially named) remains the same, but what can be won has changed a lot. And this first started out when the LEGO Group ran a competition allowing the community to vote for the next colour of a brand new Classic Space Minifigure and emblem of a new Castle faction to be included in the final model releasing next month. 21358 is one of the most unique and expressive LEGO Ideas models yet, with its interactive and fully functional elements. The Minifigure Vending Machine is a fully working build where builders can insert a token, turn the dial, and a Minifigure capsule will be dispensed from the entirely brick-built machine. Most of the prize machine is red with further hints of grey and an entirely clear section of pieces to showcase the prizes on offer. Printed 2x2 round tiles to represent coins are included to simulate that arcade-like feeling of placing coins into a real prize machine. A total of 16 prizes can be won with each being a Minifigure inside a round capsule with either a yellow or blue bottom half, along with a clear top half. Each Minifigure is obviously in pieces in the capsule ball, along with their accessories, making each play of the machine a complete mystery. Those 16 prizes are 16 Minifigures, with the majority of these being exclusive in some form or another. A total of eight Minifigures are based on the previous community vote, with two LEGO Knights based on the Griffin faction and two more based on the Kraken faction. Meanwhile, the other four consist of the iconic classic LEGO Space Minifigure in new colours of warm gold and bright bluish green. The rest of the Minifigures continue to include an exciting range of prints, accessories and references to iconic and nostalgic LEGO themes. There's a male and female Minifigure with printed LEGO Paradise torsos, an elephant and a bear with a LEGO Fabuland torso print, and two LEGO pirates of a male with a sword and a female admiral with a map and pistol. Finally, a Minifigure with the LEGO Ideas logo printed on their torso is included, along with a LEGO Ideas designer with the mini version of 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine. 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine Set Name - Minifigure Vending Machine Set Number - 21358 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,343 Price - $179.99 / €169.99  / £149.99 Release Date - 1st June 2025 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine releases on the 1st of May 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21358 in just under two weeks time? What are you looking forward to most about the fully functional red Vending Machine? Which of the Minifigures are you looking forward to getting? Would you like the LEGO Ideas platform to do more, individual set votes? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

  • LEGO Icons 10357 AC Cobra Rumoured For July 2025

    A year after our last LEGO Icons 18+ vehicle, reports claim that the brick-built collection will be expanding further on the 1st of July 2025 with the release of 10357 AC Cobra. The 18+ model will follow in the footsteps of 10337 Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole and 10321 Corvette, recreating the Auto Carrier Cobra vehicle in brick-built LEGO form. A total of 1,241 pieces will be used to build the car that will retail for a high price of $169.99 / €169.99 / £149.99. The AC Cobra is known for its sleek, curvy body and vintage racing style, and this will likely be captured to a high standard in this 18+ LEGO Icons model. We can expect plenty of curved slope elements and tiles to recreate the car's long, rounded bonnet, wide wheel arches and low-slung, aerodynamic profile. Its signature side exhaust pipes will also be included, like those seen on 2019s 10269 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. Like previous LEGO Icons vehicles, the detail and interesting building techniques will also extend to the vehicle's interior as well as the exterior. Here, the doors will be openable just like the bonnet and boot, which reveal further brick-built details including the Cobra's engine. The classic British-American cockpit in LEGO form will include brick-built leather-style seats, a printed dashboard with classic dials and smaller details like a manual gear stick and handbrake. Finally, with LEGO creating such an iconic real-world vehicle, we can expect plenty of authentic design touches. We may see AC or Shelby Cobra branding printed throughout the vehicle, along with dual racing stripes in white over a dark blue or black body to once again create that classic Cobra look. Like the majority of LEGO Icons 18+ models, a printed display plaque will also be included with further information about the AC Cobra vehicle. 10357 AC Cobra Set Name - AC Cobra Set Number - 10357 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,241 Price - $169.99 / €169.99 / £149.99 Release Date - 1st July 2025 10357 AC Cobra releases on the 1st of July 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10357 in a couple of months time? What do you think of the AC Cobra in real life? What other classic or high-performance cars would you like to see from the LEGO Icons theme in 2026 and beyond? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

  • LEGO City 60473 The City Tower Officially Revealed | June 2025

    The second-ever biggest LEGO City set has just been officially revealed, which will be one of ten sets releasing on the 1st of June 2025 for the homegrown LEGO theme. In particular, this is an 8+ rated Direct to Consumer model of 60473 The City Tower, which includes a total of 1,941 pieces retailing for $209.99 / €199.99 / £179.99. 2025 marks 20 years since the first LEGO City-branded sets, so it's very fitting to see the theme release its very own D2C for the first time. The brick-built tower pays homage to all of the different elements and subthemes of the City theme, including police, fire, emergency services, space, construction, urban life, and much, much more. Starting at the bottom left of the set, we have an appropriately coloured navy blue and white police garage which contains one of the four vehicles included in 60473. The police car is similar to previous LEGO City police car builds, but comes in a mix of colours including white, black, navy blue and lime green, which can also be seen on the police garage itself. Above the police garage is a simple yellow and black construction crane. The hoist of the crane, like many previous iterations of cranes in brick-built LEGO form, can be easily moved to lift and lower different construction loads. The crane looks to be helping to finish the tower itself, located in the middle of the 8+ model. This building isn't very large or detailed, but it includes a very modern look with black windows and plenty of white masonry bricks. Below the tower is a small tunnel for a single-carriage train to travel through. This train captures the look of many city centre public transport vehicles with its grey and turquoise colour scheme and plenty of stickers to represent graffiti. From the bottom to the top of the tower, we have a small space station. A satellite dish is included along with an actual spaceship, which can easily sit on top of the brick-built skyscraper. To the right of the model, we have a lime green skate park. This is attached to the side of the tower, making it a great opportunity for our Minifigures to show off all their tips and tricks. We then finally have the fire department section of the build with another simple garage, but this time in red and white. Another simple vehicle is included, this time obviously belonging to the fire department in a red, yellow and black colour scheme. For $209.99 / €199.99 / £179.99, the set isn't complete without a total of seven Minifigures included. These figures include a firefighter, a train driver and five characters from the LEGO City No Limits TV show. A couple of the new pigeon moulds are also included, along with plenty of accessories such as a printed wanted poster, a snake, a purple skateboard and much more. 60473 The City Tower Set Name - The City Tower Set Number - 60473 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 1,941 Price - $209.99 / €199.99 / £179.99 Release Date - 1st June 2025 60473 The City Tower releases on the 1st of June 2025, but what do you think of the brand new LEGO City D2C? Will you be purchasing 60473 in just a couple of weeks time? What element of the City Tower are you looking forward to the most? What other LEGO City-branded sets will you be purchasing this summer?

  • Everything You Need to Know About LEGO Icons 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook | June 2025

    On the 1st of June 2025, it is set release galore and LEGO Book Nook galore with a total of three sets from the new brick-built collection launching in just two weeks time. We've already had official images of both 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook and 76450 Book Nook: Hogwarts Express, but in just a few days' time, LEGO will be officially presenting 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook. 10367 is the third LEGO Book Nook set of 2025 and the second LEGO Lord of the Rings set of the year, after April's 10354 The Lord Of The Rings: The Shire. In this article, we'll be discussing everything you need to know about the latest Middle Earth-based LEGO set ahead of its presentation very, very soon... The Important Details As we've already vaguely mentioned, 10367 is one of three brand-new LEGO Book Nook sets and the second to be released under the LEGO Icons brand. The other launch in June for the theme is 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook, which recreates the iconic Baker Street located in London, and in particular, the fictional detective's very own home of 221B Rather than a generic location, 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook recreates the legendary confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and Durin's Bane, the Balrog, on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. The 18+ model includes a total of 1,201 pieces, retailing for the same price as 10351 at $129.99 / €119.99 / £109.99. Once it releases on the 1st of June 2025, the LEGO Icons model will be exclusive to both LEGO stores and LEGO shop@home. Book Nooks Book Nooks are custom displays designed to fit on a bookshelf between novels, depicting everything from a miniature world to a scene based on a popular story. This new line of sets will offer a unique way to display iconic brick-built scenes from beloved stories, whilst also having a purpose-built use for your ever-expanding bookshelf. Three LEGO Book Nooks are launching on the 1st of June 2025 to kick off this brand new collection targeted at adults and more advanced builders. These three, all based on pre-existing novels, are 76450 Book Nook: Hogwarts Express, 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook and the focus of today's article, 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook. Each model can be built to resemble a book but can also be displayed as a brick-built facade, similar to previous LEGO 18+ dioramas. The Build 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook can be built in two different ways. The first is shaped like and somewhat resembles an actual book, but with the sides and front of the book somewhat open to reveal the tantalising Middle-earth scene. Plenty of grey elements, used to represent the stone of the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, can be seen to create the outline and structure of a brick-built book. Peering into the book-shaped build, we can see the back of Gandalf The Grey whilst he battles with the mighty Balrog. The Balrog, Durin's Bane, itself is a focal point of the set, capturing the large and highly detailed figure in brick-built LEGO form. The wings are the same as those from The Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast GWP, but with the ability to move them around, along with the Balrog's limbs and head, for example. Having the set built the alternative way, with both sides opened, creates a facade and 18+ diorama, allowing a more detailed perspective of the legendary confrontation between Gandalf the Grey and Durin's Bane. A lot more of the overall scenery and background can be seen with  LEGO flame elements and plenty of transparent orange and red pieces used to simulate the fire and shadow of the Balrog. Minifigure Lineup 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook is unfortunately the Book Nook with the least amount of Minifigures releasing on the 1st of June 2025. Gandalf The Grey is the only figure included in the 18+ model, with reports suggesting that it's the exact same as the one that appeared in 10354. However, Gandalf does include a small brick-built stand/structure that can be easily attached and reattached to the overall Book Nook build. This stand also includes a currently unknown print... So that's everything you need to know about 10367 Lord Of The Rings Balrog: Book Nook, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10367 in just two weeks time?

  • LEGO Icons 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless Rumoured For July 2025

    Following the official reveal of 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger earlier this week, another license is coming to the LEGO Icons theme this Summer, one which has never appeared in brick-built LEGO form. In particular, the popular DreamWorks Animation film How to Train Your Dragon will see its first foray into LEGO, coming under the LEGO Icons model of 10375. 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless includes 794 pieces retailing for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 once it releases on the 1st of July 2025. Being a LEGO Icons branded model, 10375 is, unsurprisingly, a brand-new and highly detailed display model of Toothless. The Night Fury dragon, from the rumoured piece count, will likely be a similar size to a previous LEGO Icons buildable creature of 2024's 10331 Kingfigher Bird. Brick-built LEGO Toothless will likely be extremely detailed and a fully posable model. His wings will likely be movable with articulated ball joints, whilst his head, legs, and tail will also have plenty of movement. The overall build will mainly be black, apart from either printed or brick-built green eyes and his signature tail with the red prosthetic fin designed by Hiccup. If the build of 10375 is similar to the brick-built Kingfigher bird, then we can expect a small diorama for Toothless to be displayed on. This will likely be a rocky terrain or perch to easily display the brick-built dragon, possibly with some Viking-themed scenery from the animated films. Current reports suggest that a Hiccup Minifigure will sadly not be included in the 18+ model, but we've got our fingers crossed that this well-known viking character will at some point make his way to the LEGO universe... 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless Set Name - How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless Set Number - 10375 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 784 Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 Release Date - 1st July 2025 10375 How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless releases on the 1st of July 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10375 in just over a months time? What do you think of the How to Train Your Dragon movies? Would you like to see more LEGO sets from the popular license?

  • LEGO City 60473 The City Tower Rumoured For June 2025

    Just two weeks ago, we got official images of nine LEGO City sets launching on the 1st of June 2025, but along with these Summer 2025 models and the usual LEGO City Advent Calendar, a brand new Direct to Consumer model is also coming to the theme. In particular, this 8+ rated D2C is 60473 The City Tower, which includes a total of 1,941 pieces retailing for $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99. 2025 marks 20 years since the first LEGO City-branded sets, so it's very fitting to see the theme release its very own D2C. The brick-built tower pays homage to all of the different elements and subthemes of the City theme, including police, fire, emergency services, space, construction, urban life, and much, much more. Starting at the bottom left of the set, we have an appropriately coloured navy blue and white police garage which contains one of the four vehicles included in 60473. The police car is similar to previous LEGO City police car builds, but comes in a mix of colours including white, black, navy blue and lime green, which can also be seen on the police garage itself. Above the police garage is a simple yellow and black construction crane. The hoist of the crane, like many previous iterations of cranes in brick-built LEGO form, can be easily moved to lift and lower different construction loads. The crane looks to be helping to finish the tower itself, located in the middle of the 8+ model. This building isn't very large or detailed, but it includes a very modern look with black windows and plenty of white masonry bricks. Below the tower is a small tunnel for a single-carriage tram to travel through. This tram captures the look of many city centre public transport vehicles with its grey and turquoise colour scheme and plenty of stickers to represent graffiti. From the bottom to the top of the tower, we have a small space station. A satellite dish is included along with an actual spaceship, which can easily sit on top of the brick-built skyscraper. To the right of the model, we have a lime green skate park. This is attached to the side of the tower, making it a great opportunity for our Minifigures to show off all their tips and tricks. We then finally have the fire department section of the build with another simple garage, but this time in red and white. Another simple vehicle is included, this time obviously belonging to the fire department in a red, yellow and black colour scheme. For $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99, the set isn't complete without at least six Minifigures included. These figures include a police officer, a firefighter, a construction worker, a skateboarder and two civilians. A couple of the new pigeon moulds are also included, and there may also be one or two Minifigures, which we are currently unaware of. 60473 The City Tower Set Name - The City Tower Set Number - 60473 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 1,941 Price - $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99 Release Date - 1st June 2025 60473 The City Tower releases on the 1st of June 2025, but what do you think of the brand new LEGO City D2C?

  • LEGO Icons 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger Officially Revealed | June 2025

    After a decade's absence, LEGO will finally be returning to Springfield with the LEGO Icons theme, adding The Simpsons to its ever-expanding roster of licenses. The popular American sitcom The Simpsons will be returning in brick-built LEGO form on the 1st of June 2025 with the release of 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger. The third direct-to-consumer model based on the TV series will include a total of 1,635 pieces retailing for $209.99 / €199.99 / £179.99. As the name obviously indicates, 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger is a brick-built version of the fast-food burger restaurant chain founded by Krusty the Clown in the Simpsons' hometown of Springfield. Similar to the previous two LEGO The Simpsons sets of 71006 The Simpsons House and 71016 Kwik-E-Mart, the brick-built Krusty Burger is fully enclosed but with hinge elements and a removable roof included for easy access to the incredibly detailed and fun interior. The interior itself features several recognisable elements from the show, along with important details replicating the fast-food chain’s infamous greasy charm. Classic restaurant elements such as a counter with cash registers, food items of burgers and buckets of fries, and Krusty Burger’s famous menu boards are all included. A small kitchen section in a separate room behind the counter is also featured in the 18+ model, including elements like a grill, a deep fryer, and a condiment dispenser, amongst even more brick-built burgers. Away from the employee's side of the Krusty Burger restaurant, seating areas with bright orange and red booths and tables included, along with plenty of LEGO burger builds, slushie drinks and chips. Customers can also order their food using the drive-through, which is directly located next to the kitchen and continues with the colourful Krusty branding. There's even a funny sticker of an outstanding order of "700 Krusty Burgers" located directly above the drive-through window. Outside the Krusty Burger, the model obviously includes that drive-through with Krusty's place plastered over it, along with more menu boards and a back door for deliveries of "meat-like by-product". The restaurant’s bright orange and tan colour scheme is further replicated here, along with the inclusion of a large Krusty Burger advertising sign, which, once again, includes more stickers and builds of Krusty himself. The previous two LEGO The Simpsons sets included six Minifigures, but 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger includes seven, along with the Krusty Burger itself, the large advertising sign and a brick-built replica of Homer's clown car. Krusty is obviously included as a Minifigure, but this time in his farmer's outfit along with Homer, Bart and Lisa Simpson, Sideshow Bob, Squeaky Voiced Teen and Officer Lou. 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger Set Name - The Simpsons: Krusty Burger Set Number - 10352 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,635 Price - $209.99 / €199.99 / £179.99 Release Date - 1st June 2025 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger releases on the 1st of June 2025, but what do you think?
