Anticipation continues to build for the upcoming A Minecraft Movie with less than three months to go until the film launches in cinemas. Unsurprisingly, LEGO is getting in on the action and the hype of the upcoming movie after celebrating 10 years of the gaming theme in 2024. On the 1st of March 2025, two sets based on A Minecraft Movie will be available: 21272 Woodland Mansion Treasure Room and 21273 Ghast Balloon Village Attack. The latter of these is the focus of today's article with the 10+ model including a total of 555 pieces retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. Just like 21272, 21273 is based on elements of the film which we've already seen in the trailers and in particular the really cool-looking Ghast Balloons that the piglins ride. One of these so-called balloons is included in this set with it basically being just some piglins riding a brick-built Ghast. That's mainly because the focus of the 10+ model is with the 'Village Attack'. A brick-built fountain is included which has been destroyed by a missile attack play feature from the Ghast. Two other buildings from the village include a work shed and Steve's fried chicken shop which has a model of a large chicken that lays eggs on its roof. Just like 21272 Woodland Mansion Treasure Room, the Ghast Balloon Village Attack is packed full of Minifigures and mobs. Jack Black's Steve returns as a Minifigure along with an exclusive Natalie and Dawn. Two piglins are also included along with a Ghast, a villager, a baby chicken and a moveable Iron Golem figure. 21273 Ghast Balloon Village Attack Set Name - Ghast Balloon Village Attack Set Number - 21273 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 555 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 21273 Ghast Balloon Village Attack releases on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21273 in a months time? What other scenes from the trailers would you like to have seen in brick-built LEGO form? Are you looking forward to A Minecraft Movie releasing in April? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

On the 1st of January 2025, the LEGO Icons brand introduced a new subtheme named 'Gardens of the World', inspired by world-famous gardens. This debuted with 10359 Fountain Garden but exactly two months later we're getting another LEGO Icons subtheme entitled 'Restaurants of the World'. This second new Icons subtheme of 2025 will launch with a brand new set that's been officially revealed today of 10362 French Café. The brand new 18+ model includes a total of 1,101 pieces retailing for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 once it releases on the 1st of March 2025. The new subtheme, and therefore 10362, acts as a much cheaper way to get into 18+ city buildings rather than by the much beloved LEGO Modular Building collection. The compromise however is rather than a fully fledged building with an interior, we just get a brick-built facade. 10362's build is a detailed picturesque facade of a brick-built French Caf é in pastel orange and beige tones, combined with light green walls and windows. The classic cafe building, named Café Fleur, is equipped with an array of decorative features, including a grey sidewalk with tables and chairs, hanging flowerpots, an elegant entrance with two transparent doors and a tall black lamppost. The double transparent doors can be opened to allow access to a very small interior giving us a hint of the action-packed yet peaceful atmosphere of a French Café. We get a glimpse of a cosy interior with regal wallpaper and dark wood furnishings along with the usual cafe accessories and details including croissants, cups, a newspaper and a cash register. The whole build, including the cafe and its beautiful exterior and sidewalk, sits on the stereotypical 18+ black diorama base. This diorama base, its slim profile and a flat back shows how it is targeted exclusively towards adults and will make a great display piece in any home. However, contrary to rumours, the seats outside of the cafe suggest that it is Minifigure scale and can therefore be paired with your favourite figures from your own LEGO city. 10362 French Café Set Name - French Café Set Number - 10362 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,101 Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 10362 French Café releases on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10362 in a months time? Do you like the look of this brand-new LEGO Icons subtheme? What other global restaurants do you want to see in brick-built LEGO form?

The Woodland Mansion is one of the rarest and largest naturally generating structures in Minecraft but the mansion has never appeared in brick-built LEGO form. In the themes previous 10 years of existence, we haven't even come close but on the 1st of March 2025, that will be finally changing. Or at least it will sort of be changing with the release of 21272 Woodland Mansion Treasure Room. 21272 is one of two LEGO Minecraft sets coming in 2025 based on the upcoming A Minecraft Movie along with 21273 Ghast Balloon Village Attack. The 10+ model retails for a total of $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 with 491 pieces included. The set recreates the treasure room in the Woodland Mansion which has already been seen in previous trailers for the theme and will measure 17 cm high, 14 cm wide and 6 cm deep. The main focus of the build will be an arena located inside the treasure room. A brick-built wall of the Woodland mansion containing the chest and weapons shelf can be removed to reveal this secret arena located in the treasure room. Here we can find weapons, potions and an arena handle to attach characters and recreate battle scenes from the film. There's also a place where you can display the winners and losers of a supposedly three-way match. The set isn't complete without a range of exclusive Minifigures and iconic Minecraft mobs. Jack Black's Steve is included as a Minifigure along with two other human characters of Garrett and Henry. Mobs of a baby Zombie, a chicken and a brick-built, moveable model of the Great Hog - the leader of the piglins from the Minecraft Legends spin-off game. 21272 Woodland Mansion Treasure Room Set Name - Woodland Mansion Treasure Room Set Number - 21272 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 491 Price - $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 21272 Woodland Mansion Treasure Room releases on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think?

New LEGO theme galore this year as along with the recently announced LEGO Bluey theme, we will also be seeing the release of another brand new license this summer: LEGO ONE PIECE. LEGO, Netflix and Tomorrow Studios announced earlier today that in August we will be seeing the launch of the epic live-action ONE PIECE series in brick-built LEGO form. ONE PIECE is one of the world's most successful manga series having first started almost 30 years ago back in 1997. The anime series follows the tale of the daring young pirate Monkey D. Luffy who dreams of becoming King of the Pirates. To take the crown, Luffy must find the legendary One Piece treasure while encountering fellow pirates, bounty hunters and corrupt generals. However, on his quest, he also makes plenty of friends including characters like Nami, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp and Sanji who join his crew The Straw Hat Pirates. In 2023 the series gained further popularity and worldwide coverage as Netflix produced a live-action adaption based on the original anime series. The LEGO set releasing this Summer will be based on this live-action series which received over 71.6 million views in the first four months on the streaming service. The series has been so popular in fact that a highly awaited second live-action series is expected later this year. "This is a truly special collaboration. For the first time, LEGO play and the exciting world of anime meet. Building the world of ONE PIECE, as depicted in the Netflix live action adaptation, in LEGO brick form has been such an exciting challenge and I couldn't be more excited for fans to experience the new adventures this ONE PIECE collaboration will bring them for the first time," said Lena Dixen, Senior Vice President for Core Businesses at the LEGO Group. "Throughout this project with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios, it has been an exciting, collaborative process, and I think that shows in all the grand adventures we will begin to unveil soon." “ It has been an honor to bring the magnificent world of ONE PIECE to life both on and off the screen. We are excited to collaborate with the LEGO Group, a brand synonymous with creativity and the joy of play, to mark a historic moment as we build out the treasured manga’s adventures in iconic LEGO form for the first time ever, “ said Josh Simon, Vice President of Consumer Products, Netflix. “ Through every detail of the design process, we've worked to meticulously create a collection of playsets that will give fans new ways to live out their own epic voyages into the Grand Line one special LEGO brick at a time. " The LEGO ONE PIECE is now official with a currently unknown number of sets releasing for the theme once it makes its debut this summer. LEGO has confirmed though that the licesned theme will include Minifigures featuring some of the main crew in brick-built LEGO form along with iconic settings and action-packed scenes. LEGO ONE PIECE is no longer a dream and now a reality but what do you think? Will you be purchasing any LEGO ONE PIECE sets once they release this summer? What characters and builds are you hoping to see in brick-built form? How successful do you think this partnership will be? And what other LEGO animie themes do you want to see in the future?

Both are seen as villains in their respective movies so fit perfectly in this original set idea from LEGO. The dresses/costumes of the respective characters each sit on a clothes rack with a single stand also included. This stand is coloured black and purple and includes a secret compartment to store the villains' animals and accessories included in the set. For $70, 43262 also includes two Minidolls, corresponding to the dresses included in the 9+ set. Maleficent is basically identical to her appearance in 2023s 43211 Aurora's Castle.

2024 saw the release of two LEGO Disney sets based on the franchise Lilo & Stitch and in 2025 we'll see at least two more. The first of these is finally a Minifigure scale LEGO Lilo & Stitch set of 43268 Lilo & Stitch Beach House. The 9+ set, which after multiple leaks has been officially revealed by LEGO earlier today, includes a total of 834 pieces retailing for $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 once it releases on the 1st of March 2025. Both Lilo and Stitch have appeared in LEGO Minifigure form before: Stitch in two of the three LEGO Disney Minifigures series and Lilo in last year's LEGO Ideas model of 21352 Magic of Disney. In 2025 both are returning along with three exclusive figures of Lilo's sister Nani, her boyfriend David and the always professional, in his suit Mr Bubbles. As the name suggests, 43268 recreates the beach house belonging to Lilo and her sister Nani. The main location of the original film is represented in brick-built form as more of a facade covering two floors. However, iconic features of the house and the Hawaiian culture of the Hawaiian island of Kauai are still heavily included. The Beach House has mainly light blue walls with smaller details in white and the roof is different shades of red/orange. Inside the Beach House, there's the living room where Lilo often listens to Elvis Presley's music, the kitchen where Stitch grabs some snacks from the fridge in the middle of the night and Lilo's room where Lilo and Stitch first begin to properly bond. Many outdoor features and details are also included along with Stitch’s red spaceship, two surfboards and an exclusive Scump doll for added playability. 43268 Lilo & Stitch Beach House Set Name - Lilo & Stitch Beach House Set Number - 43268 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 834 Price - $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 43268 Lilo & Stitch Beach House releases on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think?

With the official presentation of our first LEGO Ideas set of 2025 of 21354 Twilight The Cullen House, it's time to look at what's happening with the retirement of some of our beloved older sets from the adult-friendly 18+ theme. We've got information covering all sets on the market for the LEGO Ideas theme, covering the years up to 2027. Remember that this information is likely to change as new sets hit shelves, like the rumoured eleven sets that will be released throughout the next 12 months, and sales continue to increase or decrease. However, we can say that most of the LEGO Ideas sets released in 2021 and 2022 will definitely have retired at the end of 2026 to make way for even more 18+ fan-made models. A total of seven LEGO Ideas models will be leaving shelves at the end of this year with the oldest of these being 2022s 21335 Motorised Lighthouse. From one end of the spectrum to the other, both 21346 Family Tree and 21347 Red London Telephone Box will also be retiring in December, lasting just under two years. Meanwhile, 21323 Grand Piano continues for another year until December 2026 - six years after its initial release back in 2020! December 2025 21335 Motorised Lighthouse 21341 Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage 21342 The Insect Collection 21343 Viking Village 21344 Orient Express 21346 Family Tree 21347 Red London Telephone Box December 2026 21323 Grand Piano 21330 Home Alone 21333 Vincent van Gogh - The Starry Night 21345 Polaroid OneStep SX-70 Camera 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale 21349 Tuxedo Cat 21350 Jaws 21351 Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas 21352 Magic of Disney 21353 The Botanical Garden December 2027 21354 Twilight The Cullen House While this list provides a rough outline of LEGO's retirement strategy for Ideas sets, always keep an out for changes and updates throughout the year. LEGO themselves will chop and change models in an extremely short period of time so our advice is to purchase a set whilst you can. But luckily plenty more sets will be coming throughout this year so be ready to splash the cash on even more 18+ LEGO sets and unique fan-created models.

With the 1st of January 2025 seeing the release of a total of seven brand new LEGO Icons sets, including three from the now fully fledged LEGO Botanicals theme, it's time to look at what's happening with the retirement of some of our beloved older sets from the adult-friendly 18+ theme. We've got information covering all sets on the market for the LEGO Icons theme, covering the years up to 2028. Remember that this information is likely to change as new sets hit shelves, like the rumoured 1 0354 The Lord Of The Rings: Bag End , and sales continue to increase or decrease. However, we can say that most of the LEGO Icons sets released in 2021 and 2022 will definitely have retired at the end of 2026 to make way for even more 18+ Icons models. A total of 11 LEGO Icons models will be leaving shelves at the end of this year including two Modular Buildings and two Winter Village sets. This comes as no surprise however as LEGO continue to expand these subthemes annually with new and exciting ideas executed to an extremely high quality. In December though we will be seeing the last of LEGOs 90th Anniversary celebrations as 2022s 10305 Lion Knights' Castle retires alongside the only Piece By Piece physical LEGO set of 10391 Over the Moon with Pharrell Williams.

2025 was another busy start to the year for the LEGO Star Wars theme with a total of six sets released but the biggest release window for the licensed theme is still yet to come. Just a single set of 74529 AT-AT Driver Helmet is releasing in March but a total of seven models will hit the shelves on the 1st of May 2025 - just in time for Star Wars Day. Amongst these, we finally see a return of sequel-based sets, brand-new helmets, and another LEGO Star Wars D2C... 75399 U-Wing 75399 U-Wing is the first of two sets releasing this year based on the second series of Andor. The 8+ model is considered to be a "spoiler set" and therefore we have little information to go on apart from the fact it includes 594 pieces retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. Within those 594 pieces, we will reportedly be receiving a total of five Minifigures including Cassian Andor, two shoretroopers, Debra Meero and K-2SO.

The ship will be mainly black with a couple of hints of red and grey on the usual 18+ display stand.

This time, however, the brick-built logo will be branded as an 18+ set reportedly including no Minifigures with a much smaller piece count and lower price.

Six years after its first brick-built appearance and LEGO will be returning to a recreation of Iron Man's Hall of Armor later this year. In particular, this brand-new Hall of Armor based specifically on the third Iron Man film is coming under the set 76315 Iron Man's Laboratory: Hall of Armor. The 8+ model includes a total of 384 pieces retailing for $54.99 / €54.99  / £49.99 once it releases on the 1st of April 2025. Compared to 2019s 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armor, 2025s 76315 is substantially smaller, both in terms of build size and piece count with almost 200 fewer elements. However, 76315 has just one less Minifigure with a total of five included for that high price point of $54.99. These Minifigures are Pepper Potts, Aldrich Killian, Iron Patriot MK1 and two Iron Man figures which includes the superhero in his MK42 suit. Along with the five Minifigures we also have a couple of brick-built Marvel characters. The first of these is a new Igor (the Mark 38 that’s used for heavy lifting) buildable armour which can fit a single Minifigure. This feature, and the overall size of Igor, make it similar to a mech in a blue and grey colour scheme with moveable arms and legs. And the final brick-built character is Iron Man's robot assistant Dum-E who also appears in January's 76310 Iron Man Car & Black Panther vs. Red Hulk. The build itself is basically a much smaller version of 76315 including just a couple of the usual brick-built modules to store Iron Man suits. A rotating podium is also included almost identical to the one from 2019 and once again includes a couple of robotic arms. The rest of the 384 pieces are dedicated to the blue Igor build, the five Minifigures and a couple of accessories from different stud shooters and guns to fire extinguishers. 76315 Iron Man's Laboratory: Hall of Armor Set Name - Iron Man's Laboratory: Hall of Armor Set Number - 76315 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 384 Price - $54.99 / €54.99  / £49.99 Release Date - 1st April 2025 76315 Iron Man's Laboratory: Hall of Armor releases on the 1st of April 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 76315 in a few months time? Do you own the 2019 Hall of Armor? What else should have been included in this 8+ model to make it worth that $55 price tag?

Many LEGO themes and licenses have kicked off the new year in style with plenty of new releases, iconic locations recreated in brick-built form and brand-new, exclusive Minifigures. One of the themes missing from the flurry of January 1st releases was the ever-present LEGO Ideas theme. But LEGO has thankfully today presented the first of many models releasing in 2025 of 21354 Twilight The Cullen House The latest 18+ LEGO model includes a total of 2,001 pieces retailing for $219.99 / €219.99 / £189.99 once it releases on the 1st of February 2025. Twilight The Cullen House won the first review of 2023 alongside the already available 21353 The Botanical Garden. Just like that November 2024 model, 21354 is Minifigure based and therefore includes some brand new prints for a range of exclusive characters in LEGO form. The original submission by LobsterThermidor included four Minifigures from the popular film series of Bella, Jacob, Edward and Calisle Cullen. However, the original submission also included exactly 2,995 pieces - almost 1,000 more than the official set - suggesting that plenty of design changes have been made as can be seen from today's official images. The overall build may be a smaller size but the Minifigure selection is much larger including a total of seven exclusive characters. These are Bella Swan, Edward Cullen (with sparkle effect), Jacob Black, Carlisle Cullen, Alice Cullen, Charlie Swan and Rosalie Hale. Also included is a brick-built version of Jacob in a fully posable wolf form. The main build is obviously a brick-built interpretation of the iconic three-story “Hoke House” which was used as the Cullen family residence in the Twilight Saga films. LEGO have stayed true to the original incorporating a slick brick-built design coloured mainly grey and dark orange. A small driveway with a garage door, a section of scenery and a large thin tree is included in the model's exterior. Being a set based on both books and movies, 21354 Twilight The Cullen House is packed full of details and references. Various rooms are included across the three floors of the house with the ground floor showcasing a beautifully brick-built grand piano that Edward Bella plays in the first film. Moving on to the second floor we have the kitchen and living room located next to a range of windows allowing plenty of light into the detchable house. Here we can find a range of "normal" human food, hanging baseball caps and a range of stickered picture frames. Above these rooms is Edward's room with his record collection and player. Once again, similar to the original model, Edward can jump directly out of his bedroom window while Bella sits on his back and escapes into the forest. 21354 Twilight The Cullen House Set Name - Twilight The Cullen House Set Number - 21354 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,001 Price - $219.99 / €219.99 / £189.99 Release Date - 1st February 2025 21354 Twilight The Cullen House becomes the first LEGO Ideas set of 2025 releasing on the 1st of February but what do you think?

After the release of seven brand new LEGO Marvel sets on the 1st of January 2025, the ever-popular superhero theme will expand even further with a much smaller wave of sets releasing on the 1st of April 2025. One of the only two sets scheduled to release on this date under the LEGO Marvel brand is 76312 Hulk-Truck VS. Thanos which includes a total of 229 pieces retailing for $34.99 / €34.99  / £29.99. The main build of 76312 is unsurprisingly Hulk's heavy-duty truck. The relatively large brick-built truck is mainly green with decorations on the truck's exterior including 'Hulk Smash!' signs and prints of Hulk's face. The cab of the truck can easily be removed allowing a single Minifigure to be placed inside. The Hulk-Truck also included large turning wheels, a robust design and a shock-absorbing suspension. For $35, the 7+ model isn't complete without two superhero Minifigures: Hulk and Thanos. Both are reportedly unexclusive but do include some notable features. The Hulk Minifigure includes a special removable helmet whilst his compatriot Thanos includes accessories of a Tesseract and the Infinity Gauntlet. 76312 Hulk-Truck VS.

A total of eleven sets have already launched this year for the LEGO NINJAGO theme with three more coming in just over a months time on the 1st of March 2025. These three sets include the already revealed 71832 Thunderfang Dragon of Chaos and 71836 Arc Dragon of Focus alongside the themes D2C for 2025: 71837 The Crossroads. The 14+ model includes a total of 3,244 pieces retailing for $249.99 / €249.99 / £219.99 once it releases on the 1st of March 2025. As the name suggests, the March 2025 set will be a brick-built version of the Crossroad, a city located outside of Ninjago City where the epicentre of the Merge took place. The build will likely have many connections to the merge and its events in the Dragons Rising series such as structural anomalies or dimensional rifts being included. A mix of futuristic cityscapes and traditional NINJAGO design elements also feel relevant to a city build with the name 'The Crossroads'. The exact details of the build, different buildings, places, streets, etc are currently unknown, but the always reliable Instagram user fateful_04 is reporting that a total of 10 Minifigures will be included in the $250 set. 71837 will include Zane, Pixal, a Dragonian Warrior and Alfonzo Frohicky, an anthropomorphic frog who used to live in the Crossroads. The other six characters included in 71837 The Crossroads are currently unknown but will once again likely be based on the events of the Merge and the most recent series of the LEGO NINJAGO TV show. The likes of Kreel, young Arin, Lobbo and some citizens of The Crossroads could all be included on the set is available from the 1st of March 2025. 71837 The Crossroads Set Name - The Crossroads Set Number - 71837 Age Range - 14+ Piece Count - 3,244 Price - $249.99 / €249.99 / £219.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 71837 The Crossroads releases on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think?

2024 was an extremely quiet year for the LEGO Architecture theme with the release of just a single model of 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris. However, from the 1st of March 2025, the first of two LEGO Architecture sets releasing in 2025 will hit shelves of 21062 Trevi Fountain. The 18+ model, which has been officially presented by the Danes today, includes a total of 1,880 pieces retailing for $159.99 / €159.99 / £139.99. As the name suggests, 21062 is a brick-built recreation of the famous Trevi Fountain found in Rome, Italy. The largest Baroque fountain in the city of Rome is one of the most famous and beautiful fountains in the world, dating all the way back to the 18th century. In fact, the fountain is so famous and popular that LEGO recreated it back in 2014 with 21020 Trevi Fountain. However, the 2025 version is much bigger, more detailed and includes a lot more colour. 21062 Trevi Fountain recreates the fountain on a grander scale with a beautifully crafted waterfall and rockface creating a realistic, natural feel. The 18+ set mainly makes use of white, tan and pink colours for the back wall which includes plenty of minute details along with plain Minifigures to recreate the statues seen at the Trevi Fountain. Authentic details from the original model remain but in a modern, updated style like the façade of the Palazzo Poli and iconic statues of Oceanus in his shell chariot and Abundance and Health in that plan minifigure statue form. There are also hippocampi and Tritons figures in the water, the small ‘Lovers’ Fountain’ off to the side, and the usual 18+ nameplate to make the perfect LEGO display piece. 21062 Trevi Fountain Set Name - Trevi Fountain Set Number - 21062 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,880 Price - $159.99 / €159.99 / £139.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 21062 Trevi Fountain releases on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21062 in a couple of months time? Do you have the original LEGO Trevi Fountain from 2014? What do you think the second LEGO Architecture set of 2025 will be?
