July has already begun with two LEGO GWPs being available simultaneously, and in a couple of days time, those promotional items will end and a brand new Gift With Purchase will be available. In particular, this is the third addition to the LEGO Nature Diorama GWP collection with 40784 African Savanna Diorama. The 12+ model will be available with any purchases over $150 from the 8th to the 14th of July 2025. Following on from 40782 Rainforest Diorama and 40783 Coral Reef Diorama , July's 40784 recreates a vibrant African Savanna scene in a brick-built microscale format. The 287-piece set sits on a thin black base which is then covered by wildlife and scenery from the savanna, including trees, desert foliage, a small watering hole, an elephant and a marabou stork. A LEGO egg is also included for the brick-built stork, which can then be placed in its nest located at the top of the tallest tree. 40784 African Savanna Diorama Set Name - African Savanna Diorama Set Number - 40784 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 287 Price - GWP over $150 Release Date - 8th - 14th July 2025 40784 African Savanna Diorama is available from the 8th of July 2025, but what do you think?

In just a couple of days' time, the highly anticipated 43279 WALL-E and EVE will be available in stores and online, but at the end of October, another LEGO Disney -branded model will also be released, this time an exclusive Gift With Purchase . This promotional item, in particular, is 40774 Classic Animation Scenes, which will be available from the 28th until the 31st of October 2025 with all LEGO purchases over £130. The 270-piece build is centred around a retro brick-built television, complete with a rounded screen frame, chunky brown casing and two angled antenna pieces on top. The design is very much based on mid-20th-century TVs, giving 40774 a nostalgic feel that ties nicely with the idea of reliving Disney's classic animation scenes in brick-built LEGO form. The television sits on two short legs with further details including printed speaker vents and two circular knobs representing volume and channel dials. Inside the TV is a swappable display area where different iconic Disney scenes can be placed in and out. Three scenes are included in the LEGO Disney model: The Lion King: A small LEGO Friends lion piece is used to represent Simba, who sits on top of Pride Rock, overlooking a jungle scenery. Toy Story: A LEGO Minifigure version of Woody can be found in Andy's room, which is complete with the iconic blue cloud wallpaper, a Pixar ball, a micro figure green army man and Lenny the Binoculars.

The 2025 LEGO Icons Winter Village set has pulled into the station as the LEGO Group has today officially revealed 10361 Holiday Express Train. The latest Christmas-themed LEGO set, aimed at the oldest of builders, includes a total of 956 pieces retailing for a much higher price than previous years at $129.99 / €119.99 / £109.99. The 18+ model will be available from the 1st of October 2025 for LEGO Insiders, followed by a general worldwide release on the 4th of October. The Winter Village Holiday Express Train is another charming, nostalgic steam locomotive, somewhat similar to 2016's 10254 Winter Holiday Train but more detailed and larger in size. 2025's version also includes a completely different colour scheme with different shades of blue matching perfectly with hints of gold and festive red and green. The colourful brick-built locomotive includes a total of four carriages: the classic steam locomotive carriage, a coal tender, a carriage transporting a large brick-built polar bear with a range of festive toys and a fully accessible passenger carriage. Each carriage includes a couple of wreaths and hints of holly and mistletoe. The passenger carriage is even built like it's a present with a neatly wrapped red bow on the rear carriage's roof. The brick-built polar bear is one of the standout features of the brick-built train and will likely be a fan favourite when it goes round and round your Christmas tree this holiday season. The bear is completely white apart from a green and blue scarf and its black nose. Movement can be found in the brick-built character's head and arms, with him being able to also hold a brick-built bell as an accessory. In his carriage, and the coal carriage, we can find multiple brick-built toys such as a train, a digger, an entire village and much more. Alongside the colourful and expressive Holiday Express Train are 16 circular track pieces, so that the locomotive can fit perfectly around a Christmas tree and activate its bobbing chimney and bell-ringing polar bear while it chugs along. A passenger platform with a bench and a lamppost is the final brick-built side build of the 18+ model, along with four LEGO Minifigures of two passengers, a conductor and a train driver. 10361 Holiday Express Train Set Name - Holiday Express Train Set Number - 10361 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 956 Price - $129.99 / €119.99 / £109.99 Release Date - 1st October 2025 10361 Holiday Express Train releases on the 1st of October 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10361 in a couple of weeks time? Do you already own the last LEGO Winter Village train of 2016's 10254 Winter Holiday Train? What's your favourite element of this brand new festive locomotive? Is the higher price justified? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

The wait is over: LEGO has officially revealed 75419 Death Star, the most ambitious LEGO Star Wars set ever produced by the Danish toy manufacturers. Launching on the 1st of October 2025, this monumental Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) build will retail for $999.99 / €999.99 / £899.99  and come with a staggering 9,023 pieces, making it not only the biggest LEGO Star Wars set of all time but also the most expensive LEGO set in history. Unlike previous versions of the Death Star, this new UCS version is not a complete sphere. Instead, it is a large-scale diorama built in the shape of a half-sphere cross-section. This design allows the set to show both the exterior of the Death Star and the highly detailed and action-packed interior. The closed outer side features a textured grey surface and the station's iconic superlaser dish, while the open interior side will act as a cutaway diorama showcasing some of the major scenes from various intergalactic Star Wars films. With its long and narrow shape, the brick-built half sphere can sit flat against a wall or on a shelf, with one side showing the Death Star’s battle station exterior and the other side fully open to the Minifigure-friendly interior. Where the UCS Death Star truly shines is in its interior layout, which faithfully recreates some of the saga’s most memorable locations. Built across multiple layers, each chamber captures a different moment from A New Hope, Return of the Jedi, and even Rogue One. At the base of the build sits a vast hangar bay, complete with a brick-built Imperial Shuttle that scales perfectly to the set. Rows of Stormtroopers and Imperial officers can be positioned here, and the hangar also features docking space for the 40771 TIE Fighter Gift With Purchase, tying the models together seamlessly. Right at the top of the build is the superlaser control room, lined with consoles, platforms, and laser mechanisms. This chamber is connected to the exterior dish, letting fans imagine the devastating weapon charging as Imperial Gunners man their posts. Crowning the upper level is the Emperor’s throne room, instantly recognisable with its arched panoramic window, throne, and flanking Royal Guards. This setting allows fans to recreate Luke’s final duel with Darth Vader and the Emperor’s downfall in Return of the Jedi . One of the most iconic sequences from A New Hope  is recreated in the detention block, where Luke and Han (in Stormtrooper disguise) rescue Princess Leia. The chamber includes sliding doors, control panels, and prison cells. Directly connected to the detention block is the trash compactor room, complete with moving walls that can close in on the heroes. Debris pieces and a printed dianoga eye are also accurately included, recreating one of the trilogy’s most tense scenes. The Death Star’s conference chamber is also included, built with a long central table surrounded by seats for Imperial officers like Grand Moff Tarkin. This is where Vader famously demonstrates the power of the Force during his confrontation with Admiral Motti. Other sections include the corridor where Obi-Wan faces Darth Vader for the first time, control rooms lined with screens and equipment, and gunnery stations manned by Death Star Troopers. The UCS Death Star doesn’t just set records for size, as it also includes a record-breaking 38 LEGO Minifigures , the most ever in a LEGO set. These span heroes, villains, troops, and even obscure deep-cut characters. The 38 characters include Luke Skywalker (x3): Tatooine robes, Stormtrooper disguise, and Jedi Knight. Han Solo (x2): Stormtrooper disguise and classic smuggler outfit. Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO. Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Grand Moff Tarkin. Rogue One characters: Director Orson Krennic and Galen Erso. Imperial Command: Wulff Yularen, Admiral Motti, General Tagge, Imperial Dignitary. Troops & Specialists: Stormtroopers (x6), “Hot Tub Stormtrooper”, Royal Guards (x2), Shuttle Pilot, Crew Members (x2), Gunners (x2), Death Star Troopers (x2), Imperial Naval Officer. Unique Droids: 5D6-RA-7 (silver protocol droid) and a black-and-silver Imperial astromech. 75419 Death Star Set Name - Death Star Set Number - 75419 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 9,023 Price - $999.99 / €999.99 / £899.99 Release Date - 1st October 2025 75419 Death Star releases on the 1st of October 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 75419 in a months time? What do you make of this $1,000 Death Star being a large-scale diorama rather than a complete sphere? Is there anything missing from the largest and most detailed brick-built version of the Death Star yet? Which of the 38 Minifigures included in 75419 are you looking forward to getting the most? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Alongside the official presentation of LEGO's first $1,000 set of 75419 Death Star , the Danes have now also presented the 18+ models corresponding Gift With Purchase . This promotional item, in particular, is 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack, which is available from the 1st until the 7th of October 2025, but only with purchases of the brand new Ultimate Collectors Edition Death Star. With only 236 pieces included, 40771 includes one of our smallest LEGO TIE Fighters yet, almost 200 pieces fewer than 2021's 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter, yet still larger than the Microfighter interpretation of the Galactic Empire starfighter. This is mainly because the GWP is fully compatible with 75419 Death Star and is built in the same scale as the Imperial shuttle, which can be found in the space station's brick-built hangar. Regardless, the iconic Imperial TIE Fighter is technically still Minifigure scale, with space for a single LEGO Minifigure to be placed in the ship by detaching the front. The TIE Fighter and a rack, which is also included with 40771 can then be easily connected to the UCS Death Star. Three Minifigures of two Stormtroopers and a TIE Pilot are also included, along with a service cart with detachable brick-built equipment. 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack Set Name - TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack Set Number - 40771 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 236 Price - GWP of 75419 Death Star Release Date - 1st - 7th October 2025 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack is available from the 1st of October with purchases of 75419 UCS Death Star , but what do you think? Will you be looking to pick up 40771 in a months time? What's the most exciting part of the brand-new LEGO Death Star? Will we see more $1,000 LEGO sets in the future?

The weather's starting to take a turn, the nights are drawing in, and the spookiest season is getting ever closer. And to coincide with this year's Autumnal season and Halloween celebrations, the LEGO Group will be releasing a brand new Gift With Purchase  of 40772 Celebration Series: Luminous Ghost. The third Celebration Series set of the year includes 167 pieces and will be available with any LEGO purchases over $120 starting from the 28th of September 2025. This means that this year's Halloween promotional item has the same threshold as last year's 40697 Light Up Jack-o’-Lantern  and will also be available for just over a week until the 7th of October 2025. Not only are the threshold and promotional dates alike, but the two Halloween GWPs also share similar builds. Whilst 2024's 40697 recreated a Jack-o'-Lantern complete with a light brick, 40772 includes another scary creature, which once again includes a LEGO light brick. In particular, the 8+ model recreates a luminous Ghost, completely white apart from grey chains attached to its thin arms and obviously its shining red eyes and mouth from the light brick. The brick-built ghost sits on some transparent elements attached to a grey base to create a hovering effect. The grey base also includes a brick-built pumpkin along with a black bat. The black bat is attached to the back of the luminous ghost with further transparent elements. Furthermore, the bat's wings can be moved to create a flapping movement, and so can the transparent rod for further display and play. 40772 Celebration Series: Luminous Ghost Set Name - Celebration Series: Luminous Ghost Set Number - 40772 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 167 Availability - Free with LEGO purchases over $120 Promo Dates - 28th September - 7th October 2025 40772 Celebration Series: Luminous Ghost releases on the 28th of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be picking up this seasonal promotional item next week? What other LEGO Halloween  sets will you be purchasing for the spooky season?

After previous leaks a couple of weeks ago, LEGO has now officially revealed one of many 18+ models releasing on the 1st of September 2025: LEGO Disney's 43279 WALL-E and EVE. Inspired by the heartwarming 2008 Pixar classic, 43279 brings WALL-E and EVE back to brick-built LEGO form in stunning detail, but also with plenty of playability. The third and final LEGO Disney  18+ set of the year, once it releases on the 1st of September 2025, will include 811 pieces and retail for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. As we've vaguely alluded to, this isn't WALL-E's first appearance in brick-built LEGO form, as back in 2015 LEGO released 21303 WALL-E under the LEGO Ideas  brand. The set featured an incredibly detailed and fully functional version of the lovable robot, complete with tank treads, a tilting head and the iconic plant in a boot. More recently, 40619 EVE & WALL-E  was released as part of the BrickHeadz line, introducing EVE to the LEGO world but in a much smaller, compact and blocky style. 10 years on from the initial appearance of the WALL-E franchise, LEGO has officially presented this brand new brick-built display model, including both WALL-E and EVE, along with a couple of iconic side builds from the popular Pixar film. WALL-E, although smaller than his 2015 LEGO Ideas  counterpart, is still a substantial size, being slightly larger and much more detailed than the 2023 LEGO BrickHeadz  version. The robot's signature front hatch is six studs wide and utilises various detailed and exclusive prints to recreate WALL-E's logo, patches of dirt, further robot detailing and various buttons. Overall, Wall-E's mainly yellow design is more streamlined yet still expressive. The character includes brick-built interpretations of his binocular-style eyes, tank treads and compact cube body. All of these brick-built additions for the last robot left on Earth have resulted in similar play features and functions as 21303 - a posable neck, adjustable head, highly movable arms, gripping hands, opening trunk and rolling tracks. EVE, meanwhile, is noticeably taller than WALL-E as she is built on a transparent blue stand to capture her hovering effect. Her overall design is very sleek and curvy, utilising plenty of curved pieces and plates in a clean white colour scheme. Just like WALL-E, she measures around six studs wide with the relatively new 3x6 curved slope element also being used to replicate her printed digital, smiling face. In addition to the two main characters, three side builds are also included at that $70 price tag. These include a brick-built version of WALL-E's cleaning companion robot M-O, a compressed trash cube and of course the iconic boot with the plant. These are all much smaller than both WALL-E and EVE, yet still fit with the overall scale and detail of the 18+ September 2025 model. 43279 WALL-E and EVE Set Name - WALL-E and EVE Set Number - 43279 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 811 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 43279 WALL-E and EVE releases on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 43279 in a few weeks time? Do you own any of the previous LEGO WALL-E sets? What character/build are you looking forward to assembling most?

Super Mario, Animal Crossing and now The Legend of Zelda are all in brick-built LEGO form in 2024 after the official presentation of the latest LEGO Gaming set. In particular, this 18+ model which is the first ever LEGO The Legend of Zelda is 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1. It releases on the 1st of September 2024 for $299.99 / €299.99 / £259.99 with a total of 2,500 pieces. Those avid LEGO fans will know that this LEGO The Legend of Zelda has been known about a earlier as February 2023 when a survey leaked many upcoming 18+ LEGO sets releasing in 2024. A LEGO 18+ Legend of the Zelda set was included in this list and it was clearly very successful as model will make its debut in a few months time. The leaked model had almost 600 fewer pieces, showcasing the designer's hard work over the last year. As the name suggests, this new LEGO Gaming set is a 2-in-1 model of the legendary Deku Tree on a classic 18+ black base diorama. One version of the tree is based on the design in the game Ocarina of Time with green leaves and the other is based on the very successful Breath of the Wild with mainly pink leaves. However, the trees themselves also have slightly different builds and will need to be rebuilt completely to change the design. This new Legend of Zelda set in particular is a 2in1 of the legendary Deku Tree. One version of the tree is based on the design in the game Ocarina of Time with green leaves and the other is based on the very successful Breath of the Wild with mainly pink leaves. However, the trees themselves also have slightly different builds and will most likely need to be rebuilt completely to change the design. And the exclusive LEGO set isn't complete without some exclusive The Legend of Zelda Minifigures. 77092 includes a total of four Minifigures of Classic Link, Young Classic Link, Link from Breath of the Wild and Zelda from Breath of the Wild. Other features and accessories of the set include the Ocarina of Time, the Hylian Shield and the Master Sword. 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Set Name - Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Set Number - 77092 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,500 Price - $299.99 / €299.99 / £259.99 Release Date - 1st September 2024 77092 Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 releases on the 1st of September 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 77092 in a few months time? Would you like to see more LEGO The Legend of Zelda sets in 2025 and beyond? And is the price a bit too high for a 2-in-1 model? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

It looks like LEGO Legend of Zelda will finally be coming in 2024 with at least one D2C set of the Deku Tree. This comes after JeanGreyForever took part in a survey where they were asked questions about how much they would pay for upcoming LEGO sets and existing LEGO sets. A LEGO 18+ Legend of the Zelda set was included in this list indicating that there's the possibility the set will be coming next year. This new Legend of Zelda set in particular is a 2in1 of the legendary Deku Tree. One version of the tree is based on the design in the game Ocarina of Time with green leaves and the other is based on the very successful Breath of the Wild with mainly pink leaves. However, the trees themselves also have slightly different builds and will most likely need to be rebuilt completely to change the design. In both versions, the set sits on an 18+ black base making it a diorama-like set with the Legend of Zelda logo printed on the front. Furthermore, the set is Minifigure scale including Link based on his appearance in Ocarina of Time with green clothing and mid legs along with another Link but in normal legs and Zelda. Both of these are based on their appearances in Breath of the Wild. Set Information Set Name - The Legend of Zelda: 2in1 Deku Tree Set Number - TBC Ages - 18+ Piece Count - 1,920 Price - around $249.99 Release Date - 2024 Featured images: LEGO Ideas Hyrule Castle project by Artem Biziaev

Just one more LEGO Ideas set remains for 2025, and once 21363 The Goonies (1985) releases on the 1st of November 2025, it will mark the end of a record-breaking year for the 18+ theme. Just two months later, though, and the Ideas brand will be launching its first set of 2026: 21365 Love Birds. The 18+ model will retail for $49.99 / €49.99  / £44.99 from the 1st of January 2025 as a LEGO store and Target exclusive. 21365 Love Birds is likely to be this year's perfect LEGO Valentine's Day model, with a compact yet elegant display piece releasing just over a month before the day we all celebrate love. The original submission by Modular Maniac won the LEGO Ideas Build from the Heart Challenge, utilising a total of 411 pieces to recreate the vibrant model. Less than a year later, we can expect the official model to include a few more pieces, along with a slightly expanded and refined build. The final build will still likely centre on two brick-built pink love birds, carefully shaped using plenty of curved elements to create some of the most detailed and elegant birds in brick-built LEGO form yet. The two birds will be perched very close to each other and posed in a way that highlights their special bond. Detailed and expressive eyes will be included along with posability in the birds' legs, wings and head, for example. These two beautifully designed birds will be perched on intricately designed tree with a large brick-built branch hanging out to the side to take the weight of the love birds. The entirely brown tree will be built on a similar scale and level of detail to those seen in the LEGO Botanicals theme. Delicate pink blossoms will then be found at the end of the large branch, and possibly scattered throughout the rest of the tree, which may include a small, simple yet sturdy base to display 21365. 21365 Love Birds Set Name - Love Birds Set Number - 21365 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $49.99 / €49.99  / £44.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 21365 Love Birds releases on the 1st of January 2026, but what do you think?

The LEGO Ideas theme looks set to revisit the 1980s once again, this time with one of cinema's most beloved adventure films. In particular, 21363 The Goonies (1985) will be launching on the 1st of November 2025, bringing brick-built nostalgia to fans of the cult classic movie. The 10th and final LEGO Ideas set of the year will include a total of 2,912 pieces, retailing for $299.99 / €299.99  / £259.99. The official 18+ model will be based on the fan-designed set by Delusion Brick, which won 2024's If We Could Turn Back Time challenge. It will pay tribute to the 1985 film, The Goonies, which follows a group of kids on a daring treasure hunt filled with puzzles, pirate ships and perilous encounters. 21363 will mark only the second-ever LEGO Goonies set after the franchise previously appeared in a LEGO Dimensions Level Pack. With almost 3,000 pieces, the LEGO Ideas model will be a substantial build, dominated by an extremely detailed brick-built recreation of One-Eyed Willy's pirate ship, the Inferno. One of many LEGO ships released in recent years, the Inferno is a classic vessel, coloured mainly brown with a curved hull, decorative detailing such as cannons and small windows, and tall thin masts. The ship rests upon a rocky base with jagged stalagmites that can even be found on the Inferno itself. Turning the model around reveals a full cross-section of the cave and the ship's interior, acting as a multi-scene diorama packed full of references to the movie's treasure hunt. There's the booby-trapped cavern with swinging boulders, an underground waterway with a wooden bridge, and the treasure chamber featuring a golden skeleton throne surrounded by piles of loot. The rear also incorporates the pirate ship’s cabin, ladders, and hidden passageways for our LEGO Minifigures to explore. Talking about Minifigures, the original submission included a total of 11 new and exclusive characters in LEGO form. These include the main Goonies of Mikey, Mouth, Chunk, Data Stef, Andy and Brand alongside Sloth in his Superman shirt and members of the Fratelli family, which include Jake, Francies and Mama Fratelli. Each figure included its own unique accessory and could be placed on a Goonies-themed display stand. 21363 The Goonies (1985) Set Name - The Goonies (1985) Set Number - 21363 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,912 Price - $299.99 / €299.99  / £259.99 Release Date - 1st November 2025 21363 The Goonies (1985) releases on the 1st of November 2025, but what do you think?

Rumours are warping in at maximum impulse as the LEGO Icons theme continues to expand its range of licenses and stunning selection of large, brick-built models aimed at adults. In particular, the LEGO Icons model of 10356 is expected to introduce Star Trek to brick-built LEGO form with the release of the USS Enterprise D. The 18+ model is this year's Black Friday LEGO set, officially launching on the 28th November 2025, retailing for $399.99 / €399.99  / £369.99 and including 3,600 pieces. Measuring an impressive 60cm in length, 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D is a large-scale display model designed to faithfully capture the sleek, elegant look of the Galaxy-class starship from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The design prioritises smooth shaping and accuracy for the mainly light grey ship, with the broad saucer section and its cleverly designed detachable function taking centre stage. From above, the saucer appears almost perfectly circular, built using layers of curved slopes, wedge plates, and tiles to create a seamless hull. At the very top, the ship’s registry of “USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D” is printed, surrounded by printed windows that form a continuous ring around the outer edge of the ship. Small printed details such as hull panelling and docking hatches, along with subtle gold and red markings, break up the mainly light grey coloured surface of the LEGO Enterprise. The underside of the saucer is just as detailed and accurate in design, with inverted slopes and angled panels replicating the ship’s rounded profile. As seen on-screen, the saucer can detach from the stardrive section in the brick-built LEGO interpretation. The secondary hull is long and narrow, featuring small greebling and window prints to capture the look of the ship’s main engineering section. Two angled pylons extend from the rear to support the warp nacelles, which contain the components for generating a warp field and therefore enabling faster-than-light travel. Transparent blue elements recreate the warp field grilles, while transparent red pieces represent the Bussard collectors at the nacelle fronts. Additional gold, orange, and red accents are used to replicate the impulse engines and other hull features of the ship. The Enterprise sits on a sturdy black display stand, built from Technic elements to hold the model securely at a slight angle for an in-flight appearance. The stand has wide legs for stability and features a 4x4 nameplate displaying the ship’s registry and Starfleet insignia. Alongside it is a grey minifigure display base complete with black elements and a printed blue Star Trek logo at the front, providing a dedicated spot for the included crew. A total of nine Minifigures come with 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D with multiple including a printed version of the Next Generation uniform, along with detailed arm printing. There's Captain Jean-Luc Picard with a cup of tea, Commander William Riker with a trombone, Lieutenant Commander Data with his cat Spot, Lieutenant Worf with a new hair mould and a grey communications module, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge with his engineering field kit briefcase, Dr. Beverly Crusher with a medical tricorder 1x2 tile, Counsellor Deanna Troi with a PADD 1x2 tile, Wesley Crusher with engineering field kit and Guinan who carries a green bottle and comes with a new hair/hat mould. 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D Set Name - Star Trek: USS Enterprise D Set Number - 10356 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,600 pieces Price - $399.99 / €399.99  / £369.99 Release Date - 28th November 2025 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise D releases on the 28th of November 2025, but what do you think?

LEGO has officially revealed a sparkling new addition to the LEGO Ideas  theme, one that brings the natural beauty of geology to the brick-built world of LEGO. Launching on the 1st of October 2025, 21362 Mineral Collection joins the 18+ theme alongside the previously revealed 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo . With 880 pieces retailing for just $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99, 21362 is the most affordable and accessible LEGO Ideas model of 2025. Officially approved in November 2024, Mineral Collection is essentially a refined, museum-style showcase featuring six entirely brick-built mineral specimens arranged on a brown modular shelving frame. The display is then divided into three vertical sections, each topped and accented with small golden corner plates to give further design elements and details to the structure. The shelves are open on all sides, allowing plenty of displayability to capture the unique mineral builds from every angle. The six minerals are the stars of the build, each reimagined with clever use of transparent and metallic elements to capture the sparkle of real crystals. These include: Pyrite - A geometric cluster of metallic gold cubes. Amethyst Geode - A rounded grey rock exterior with various transparent elements of white, pink and purple to mimic sparkling crystal formations. Fluorite - An array of transparent shades of blue built into an unsymmetrical oval-like shape. Tangerine Quartz - A tall cluster of transparent orange columns emerging from a jagged tan coloured rock base. Rhodochrosite - Various-sized red transparent cubes surrounding small white transparent elements on a simple black rock base. Watermelon Tourmaline - A tall transparent column with a mix of green, yellow and pink built on a white rock foundation. 21362 Mineral Collection Set Name - Mineral Collection Set Number - 21362 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 880 Price - $59.99 / €59.99  / £54.99 Release Date - 1st October 2025 21362 Mineral Collection releases on the 1st of October 2025, but what do you think?
