LEGO have spoiled fans in recent years with brick-built ships from last year's Black Friday model of 10335 The Endurance to this year's 21356 River Steamboat and the more play-friendly vessels coming in LEGO ONE PIECE 's debut wave next month. However, possibly the most exciting LEGO sailing ship is coming on the 12th of September 2025 with the return of LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. The swashbuckler film series, just like Lord of the Rings and The Simpsons, is returning as just a single 18+ LEGO Icons model, expanding the themes' diverse range of licenses even further. In particular, this set is 10365 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl, which includes a total of 2,861 pieces retailing for $329.99 / €329.99  / £289.99. With a piece count nearing 3,000, the brick-built ship will easily be the biggest Pirate of the Caribbean branded set, beating 71042 Silent Mary and the last LEGO Black Pearl of set number 4184. The infamous pirate ship of the Black Pearl will be created at an incredible scale, to create a large and impressive display model with plenty of play features and details, paying homage in particular to the first films in the franchise. The hull will likely be entirely black, matching the ship's look from the films while also including plenty of curved edges and detailed shaping to create one of the most accurate ships in brick-built LEGO form yet. The ship will probably feature three large masts, each with black or dark grey cloth sails. These masts will include further details such as ropes and rigging, which will match further decorative elements located on and around the ship, such as lanterns and cannons. The brick-built recreation will likely have a skeletal figurehead at the front and a curved stern at the rear, with further detailing for the on-deck interiors windows. The Minifigure-friendly deck is expected to have fully functioning areas like a steering wheel, hatches and cannon ports on the sides. At the back is likely to be the captain's cabin, which we alluded to here. Hopefully, this is fully accessible with either a removable wall or roof, where we can find some of the most diverse Pirates of the Caribbean references. Along with this almighty ship, a total of nine Minifigures from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise are also included. These are Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swan, Will Turner, Marty, Hector Barbossa, Anamaria, Joshamee Gibbs, Pintel and Cotton. All will be exclusive to the September 2025 model with unique facial expressions, torso and leg printing, and reference-filled accessories. 10365 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl Set Name - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl Set Number - 10365 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,861 pieces Price - $329.99 / €329.99  / £289.99 Release Date - 12th September 2025 10365 Pirates of the Caribbean: The Black Pearl releases on the 12th of September 2025, but what do you think?

A couple of beds and other accessories can also be found, along with a single Minifigure of Neville Longbottom in a grey cardigan, again based on the Deathly Hallows. 40770 Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement Set Name - Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement Set Number - 40770 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 202 Availability - Free with LEGO Harry Potter purchases over $130 Promo Dates - 1st - 7th September 2025 40770 Hogwarts Castle: Room of Requirement is available starting from the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think?

As the LEGO Icons 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship sails closer to its 12th of September 2025 release date, new details have emerged confirming the full cast of Minifigures included in this anticipated 18+ model. Alongside the massive and highly detailed build of the Black Pearl, a total of nine pirate-themed LEGO Minifigures are confirmed to be included. With updated printing, brand new elements and highly detailed accessories, these characters help recreate some of the most iconic moments from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise in brick-built LEGO form. Here's the final, confirmed Minifigures lineup for 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship : Captain Jack Sparrow Jack Sparrow returns in full LEGO Minifigure glory with updated torso and leg printing, including a detailed sash, belts and boots. He wears his classic tricorn hat with hair and will, like many of the nine Minifigures included in 10365, feature an alternative facial expression. The pirate is also equipped with a pistol and a cutlass to recreate the most accurate and detailed Jack figure yet. Hector Barbossa Barbossa stands out with a brand new mould, combining his feathered pirate hat and wavy, greying hair. His face features a fierce expression and detailed printed beard, while his torso and legs are just as detailed as Jack's, but this time with a mainly black and dark brown colour scheme rather than white and navy blue. He carries a cutlass, again like Captain Jack Sparrow, to complete his swashbuckling look. Elizabeth Swann Elizabeth appears in a highly detailed nougat-coloured gown with detailed printing on her torso and sloped dress piece. She includes a printed 1x1 round gold coin, likely referencing cursed Aztec treasure, as her one and only accessory. Will Turner Will features another detailed torso, this time with a textured leather-style vest print along with simple dark brown legs. He has quite a confident expression on his printed face, which includes some thin sideburns and stubble printing. The character also includes slicked-back hair in brown and another cutlass accessory. Anamaria Making her first LEGO appearance, Anamaria has long, flowing black but without the headscarf which we often see throughout the films. The character includes a very simple and basic pirate torso along with more printless dark brown legs. Another pirate Minifigures and, unsurprisingly, another LEGO cutlass piece included. Joshamee Gibbs Gibbs is finally here in LEGO Minifigure form, utilising the same slicked-back hair piece as Will but in light grey. He also has plenty of beard printing on his face, contrasting well with his tan shirt and dark blue vest. More unprinted legs, but this time in a dark grey colour, along with a pistol as an accessory. Cotton Cotton, like most of these figures, features a classic LEGO pirate look, complete with a white shirt and tan colour legs. The character features further exclusive facial printing along with a light purple bandana headpiece. The most eyecatching detail of the LEGO Minifigure is the brightly coloured blue, green and yellow parrot which is included as an accessory along with what looks to be a small gun. Marty Marty is easily identifiable with his short legs and bald head. His torso features a patterned orange vest over a white shirt with belts and buttons printed in detail. Unfortunately, the character includes just one facial expression, yet this is still highly detailed and expressive. An accessory of a pistol, but in brown is also included with the figure. Sand Green Figurehead The Black Pearl's figurehead is represented as a Minifigure with a sand green colour scheme, featuring wings introduced in this colour for the first time. The figure is heavily printed with a detailed face, torso and long dress slope piece, creating a ghostly, ethereal presence on the bow of the mainly black ship. Set Overview - 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship Set Name - Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship Set Number - 10365 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,861 pieces Price - $329.99 / €329.99  / £289.99 Release Date - 12th September 2025 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship releases on the 12th of September 2025, but what do you think?

As the LEGO Ideas 21360 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory approaches its 15th of September 2025 release date, we now have confirmation, thanks to Instagram user Avoidberg , of the full lineup included in this vibrant and nostalgic 18+ model. Based on the beloved 1971 Gene Wilder film, the set is rumoured to recreate the fantastical Chocolate Room and several of the factory's most memorable details in brick-built form. Alongside the colourful, candy-themed build originally designed by 2PPL, a total of nine Minifigures are included, representing the central characters of the story/film. Featuring detailed printing, expressive facial elements and film-accurate accessories, these figures will allow fans to relive key moments from Roald Dahl's timeless tale. Here's the final, confirmed Minifigure lineup for 21360 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory : Willy Wonka The eccentric chocoltier makes his LEGO debut in style, wearing his signature purple tailcoat, patterned waistcoat and large bow tie. His brown top hat will likely utilise existing LEGO top hat pieces, but in brown. Willy Wonka will also include a very expressive face print to capture Gene Wilder's iconic performance, alongside an accessory of the character's cane. Charlie Bucket In the original submission, Charlie is dressed in a very colourful outfit with a striped orange and purple torso, along with some brown mid legs. However, LEGO are likely to change this, possibly creating a more ragged look for the character whilst still keeping his beaming, young face. A golden ticket, like the rest of the lucky winners, will likely be his accessory. Grandpa Joe Grandpa Joe's figure will likely feature a very worn and aged look, with an old grey jacket and scarf element, for example. His hairpiece will show more of his ageing look with his ever-thinning hair to match the grey moustache that will likely be printed on his headpiece. A simple walking stick may be included as Joe's accessory. Augustus Gloop Augustus should be instantly recognisable with his white shirt, black tie and black overcoat. He will likely also utilise mid legs, but dual moulded as the character wears shorts during the original 1971 film. A chocolate-covered face print would be a funny inclusion alongside an accessory of some Wonka Chocolate. Mike Teavee Mike will sport his cowboy-inspired outfit from the film with a cowboy hair piece, a red bandana and a blue and white checkered shirt that will likely feature a printed sheriff's badge for further details. Hopefully, LEGO include quite a unique accessory for the character, possibly a printed television on a 2x2 tile or even a microscale version of himself referencing his shrinking scene in the TV Room. Veruca Salt The famously spoiled Veruca Salt will likely appear in her bright red dress with further details in white and black. Her detailed and exclusive facial expressions will likely include a smug smile and a more furious look, portraying her 'bad nut' moment. The accessories for Veruca will likely have a golden theming: a golden egg and another printed golden ticket. Violet Bearuegarde The figure for Violet could go one of two ways: she may be in her normal heavily blue-themed outfit or be shown as a large blueberry, utilising the elements used for LEGO Harry Potter 's Aunt Marge. Either way, we can expect another very expressive and unique Minifigure, once again including a golden ticket as an accessory. Oompa Loompa (x2) Two Oompa Loompas are also included as LEGO Minifigures in 21360, each likely utilising short white legs and printed torsos with their iconic brown tops and criss-cross braces. Their orange heads and bright green hair from the 1971 film will make them instantly recognisable in brick-built LEGO form. Accessories could include more Wonka Chocolate and the unique candy found in the factory. Set Overview - 21360 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Set Name - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Set Number - 21360 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,026 Price - $219.99 / €219.99  / £189.99 Release Date - 15th September 2025 21360 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory releases on the 15th of September 2025, but what do you think?

LEGO's two 18+ themes of Icons and Ideas have brought us a plethora of licenses in recent years, and in less than two months, another brand-new license will be introduced to the brick-built LEGO world. In particular, the LEGO Ideas theme will be releasing a set directly based on British author Roald Dahl's ever-popular Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book. Set 21360 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will release on the 15th of September 2025, including 2,026 pieces retailing for $219.99 / €219.99  / £189.99. The original project by 2PPL was only confirmed as an official set last summer, but the LEGO Ideas team have been very busy in recent months. The 68th branded LEGO Ideas set, and the seventh of 2025, will be the first of hopefully many future LEGO sets paying tribute to the famous children's author. The original submission recreated the Chocolate Room in brick-built LEGO form - an iconic and central part of the factory tour featuring a large chocolate waterfall that flows into a river. Both of these elements will likely be main parts of the final design, hopefully still including the working and motorizable waterfall that 2PPL originally created. Surrounding the chocolate brown colour river will be a vibrant, dreamlike brick-built world of candy-themed terrain. We can expect plenty of colourful and wacky builds to create sugary details, oversized mushrooms and lollipop-like trees. The brick-built sugary scene also included a large and colourful bridge, stretching across the river and terrain, allowing the Minifigures included in 21360 to admire the flowing chocolate river and waterfall. Talking about Minifigures, Instagram user swi9383 reports that a total of 10 Minifigures will be included in the final design - two more than the original submission. The original project's eight Minifigures were Willy Wonka, Charlie Bucket, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teavee, and two Oompa-Loompas. These characters will almost definitely be in the final September 2025 model, along with possibly Charlie's parent, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, who also play a crucial role in the book and film. 21360 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Set Name - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Set Number - 21360 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,026 Price - $219.99 / €219.99  / £189.99 Release Date - 15th September 2025 21360 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory releases on the 15th of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21360 in a couple of months time? What are you looking forward to most about this chocolate and sugary-themed build? Who will the two extra Minifigures be?

Whilst Summer may still be in full swing, the LEGO Harry Potter theme is focusing on a snow-covered, winter-themed set as LEGO has officially revealed the latest magical direct-to-consumer set for the licensed theme. In particular, this is the previously leaked 6457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition, which includes a total of 3,228 pieces retailing for $399.99 / €379.99 / £349.99 once it releases on the 1st of September 2025. As the name suggests, 76457 recreates the most detailed version of the famous Wizarding Village named Hogsmeade in brick-built form yet. Like the much-loved 75978 Diagon Alley, this brand-new LEGO Harry Potter  Collector's Edition model is built in a modular street format. It utilises three 16x32 baseplates that connect to form a long and highly detailed Minifigure-friendly display version of Hogsmeade, complete in its iconic snow-covered winter setting. The first baseplate features three charming brick-built shops: the Owl Post, Dervish & Banges and Honeydukes. The Owl Post, Hogsmeade's post office, is the smallest and most compact shop in this 18+ version of the Wizarding Village. However, the shop still keeps its character with a cosy, wooden exterior recreated in brick-built LEGO, along with a red door and a reportedly stickered red Owl Post sign. Inside, we can find a large map of the UK along with plenty of sorting cabinets and printed letter tiles. Similarly, the shop specialising in magical items, tools, and broomsticks known as Dervish & Banges, is very small and compact. It's about the same size as the Owl Post, but with bits of gold and green colouring on its exterior and an even smaller interior. The famous Honeydukes candy store and its signature green and pink exterior is much larger, however. The store's windows are filled with LEGO candy and treats, which can then be further found inside on green and pink display stands. The second baseplate is dedicated entirely to one of Hogsmeade's most famous landmarks, The Three Broomsticks. The large two-storey pub is instantly recognisable with its snow-topped triangular roof and tall chimneys, which can be found on some of the other shops included in 76457. Inside, the warm and rustic setting is brought to life with timber beams, a bar, wooden tables and chairs, a stickered menu display and plenty of mugs of Butterbeer. The third and final baseplate includes the Hog's Head Inn and Zonko's Joke Shop. Compared to The Three Broomsticks, the Hog's Head Inn, owned by Aberforth Dumbledore, is a much darker and moodier pub with a grey coloured exterior. Next door, however, Zonko's Joke Shop provides a burst of whimsy with a brightly coloured red facade. Here, we can find shelves stacked with magical prank items, fireworks, and joke products to add to the range of unique Harry Potter-themed accessories found in the 18+ model. Across all three modular baseplates, the snowy rooftops and cobblestone streets are dotted with lamp posts, benches, and small decorative touches that help bring the village scene to life. Each building is open-backed, allowing easy access to the fully detailed interiors, making the set just as interactive as it is display-worthy. When connected, the full model and its various buildings/shops measure over 33 cm (13 inches) high, 76 cm (30 inches) wide and 14 cm (5.5 inches) deep. A Minifigure-friendly build isn't complete without an excellent lineup of new and returning LEGO Harry Potter  characters. 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition's 12 LEGO Minifigures  include Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Katie Bell, Cornelius Fudge, Professor McGonagall, Horace Slughorn, Aberforth Dumbledore, Madam Rosmerta, Mrs Flume, and a Zonko’s employee. 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition Set Name - Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition Set Number - 76457 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,228 Price - $399.99 / €379.99 / £349.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition releases on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 76457 in just a couple of weeks time? What is your favourite building/shop included in the 18+ model? Are any Minifigures missing from the latest LEGO Harry Potter  D2C?

The LEGO Collectible Minifigures  theme swings into the multiverse once again with the third and final CMF series of the year. LEGO has officially revealed the long-awaited 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Series, with the licensed series set to release worldwide on the 1st of September 2025. Following the wildly experimental 71049 LEGO F1 Collectible Race Cars , this latest CMF returns to the standard 12-character format, this time diving deep into the animated Spider-Verse trilogy from Sony Pictures. Each figure comes packaged in a blind box for $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49, featuring new prints, moulds, and fan-favourite characters brought to life through LEGO’s interpretation of the films’ unique comic book and animated aesthetic. Full Minifigure Lineup Here's a breakdown of all 12 officially revealed characters featured in the upcoming series: Spider-Man (Miles Morales)  - The main hero of the trilogy is, unsurprisingly, the first figure in the series featuring a newly detailed suit with red webbing highlights and electric blue accents. Miles also includes both his normal face and hair, as well as an alternative headpiece for his mask. The Prowler (Aaron Davis)  - The uncle of Miles Morales includes another vibrant and unique outfit with a mainly purple suit. Once again, an alternative headpiece of the character's masked look is included along with a printed 2x2 round tile and the Minifigure gorilla fists in dark grey. Spider-Gwen (Gwen Stacy)  - With her signature white, pink and black hooded suit, Gwen Stacy also comes with a brand new hair piece featuring her iconic blonde hair with hints of light pink at the end. Her accessory is a 2x2 printed tile of a photo of her and Miles. Spider-Punk (Hobie Brown)  - Hobie Brown is featured in the series with a brand-new, crazy hairpiece, along with an alternative version of his mohawk and mask combination. The character's torso and legs are extremely detailed, with the character's red guitar completing the heavy punk look. Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O’Hara)  - The future Spider-Man known as Spider-Man 2099 comes with a dark navy suit with hints of red. His accessory looks to be an element of his time device. Werewolf Spider-Man  - Last but not least is a half Spider-Man and half werewolf hybrid with the classic werewolf headpiece included, but with red mask printing. The rest of the figure also included elements of a broken Spider-Man suit, making way for a brown and extremely furry werewolf. Spider-Man India (Pavitr Prabhakar)  - Spider-Man India brings a hint of Indian culture to the CMF series with the character wearing a vibrant blue and red outfit. Just like the other characters, he comes with a hairpiece and her mask print, along with accessories of a white chai cup and Spider-Cat. Spider-Man & May "Mayday" Parker  - A two-in-one figure here with Peter B Parker included in his dad robe along with baby Mayday. Peter looks to be in his pink bathroom robe and blue pyjamas, whilst the incredibly adorable Mayday is in a front carrier attached to the main figure. Cyborg Spider-Woman  - Another extremely unique and extremely detailed character is Cyborg Spider-Woman, who comes with plenty of printing on her legs and torso. She also includes a range of mechanical elements for one of her arms and some armour on the opposite shoulder. Sun-Spider  - A disabled Spider-Hero who uses two black arm crutches in LEGO Minifigure  form. The character includes mainly black and orange on its torso and legs, along with a grey backwards cap to complete the figure. Spider-Byte (Margo Kess)  - Margo features a very futuristic and robotic design with a blue and pink pixel-style suit. She also includes a unique purple headpiece along with a pigtail hairpiece to reflect her digital avatar's look. Web-Slinger (Cowboy Spider-Man)  - We head to the west with Web-Slinger, including a cowboy-inspired outfit complete with printed spurred boots and detailed belt printing. The figure also includes a cowboy hat, a lasso and a Spider-Man themed LEGO foal.   Checklist & Packaging Design The checklist features all 12 Spider-Verse themed characters, their alternative head pieces, accessories and everything else included with each unique and colourful figure. The checklist is a beautiful gradient of yellow, orange, pink and purple with Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse branding located in the top right. The packaging, as shown in the official images, is very similar to the checklist. Each figure continues to be in a scannable blind box which features the same sunset-like gradient colour scheme. Eight of the twelve characters can be found on the front of the box design, with the large retail box including a total of 36 boxes featuring all twelve characters on the front design, along with a detailed look at the Miles Morales Minifigure on its side. 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Set Name - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Set Number - 71050 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - 8 Price - $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 Release Date - 1st September 2025 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse releases on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think?

After all the Star Wars Day celebrations at the beginning of the month, LEGO has officially revealed the next promotional item releasing in May. In particular, this is 40767 Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut, which adds to our ever-growing Up-Scaled Minifigure lineup but this time as an exclusive Gift With Purchase. The 10+ model will be available from the 15th to the 23rd of May 2025, with any purchases over $150 both in stores and online. The 250 pieces included in 40767 recreates an extremely cute Classic Space Baby Astronaut in this brick-built Up-Scaled form. This time the LEGO Space Baby is in a classic LEGO red colour, having only appeared in its usual Minifigure form in blue, white and pink. The baby includes a cute printed face, just like its Minifigure counterpart, and includes the printed classic space logo on its chest to create an incredible and likely extremely popular display model. 40767 Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut Set Name -Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut Set Number - 40767 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 250 Price - GWP over $150 Release Date - 15th - 23rd May 2025 40767 Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut is available from the 15th of May 2025, but what do you think? Will you be looking to pick up 40767 later this week? What sets do you plan on buying to get over the $150 threshold? What other Minifigures/characters do you want to see in this Up-Scaled form?

The annual LEGO Icons Winter Village tradition unsurprisingly continues in 2025 with the latest brick-built holiday model releasing under the set number 10361. While the latest rumours have not yet revealed the official set name or piece count, reports suggest that 2025's LEGO Winter Village model will once again be released at the start of October, but this time with a notable price increase compared to previous years. According to recent leaks, 10361 will retail for $129.99, a significant jump from the consistent $99.99 pricing seen in all LEGO Winter Village sets since 2018's 10263 Winter Village Fire Station. This even includes both 10325 Alpine Lodge and 10339 Santa's Post Office , which included 1,517 and 1,440 pieces, respectively. Even though this price increase is to be expected, especially as LEGO's prices have continued to go up and up, further influenced by the current tariff situation in the United States, a 30% increase is even steeper than expected. Hopefully, this means we get the largest and most detailed LEGO Winter Village yet, with a more complete build rather than just a facade, for example. Further Minifigures and an overall improvement in complexity would further make this price increase feel worthwhile. But away from the ever-changing LEGO product prices, what could this year's Winter Village build be? Based on previous festive LEGO sets aimed at adults, possibilities range from the likes of a winter schoolhouse or a town square market to recreate classic winter scenes in brick-built LEGO form. Or the 17th entry in the LEGO Winter Village collection could revisit previous builds, such as the previously mentioned snow-covered Fire Station and 2010's 10216 Winter Village Bakery. 10361 TBC 2025 Winter Village Set Set Name - TBC 2025 Winter Village Set Set Number - 10361 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $129.99 / €TBC / £TBC Release Date - 1st October 2025 This year's LEGO Icons Winter Village set is rumoured to be releasing under the set number 10361, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing the latest Winter Village model in a couple of months time? Will this 30% price increase result in a larger, more substantial build?

Along with 40822 Jack-O'-Lantern Pickup Truck , another Halloween-branded LEGO set has been officially revealed for a 1st of August 2025 release of 40825 Halloween Wreath. This 12+ is the larger and more expensive of the two spooky-themed sets releasing this Summer, with a total of 617 pieces included for a recommended retail price of $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99. As the name suggests, 40825 recreates a brick-built Wreath but with a Halloween-themed twist in a similar scale to the now-retired 40426 Christmas Wreath 2-in-1. The Halloween Wreath will take on a completely different colour scheme with typical Halloween shades such as orange, purple and black mixed in the dark green foliage typically seen with wreaths. Compared to 40426, 2025's 40825 Halloween Wreath includes over 100 more pieces, due to additional decorative features and customisability included in the 12+ model. The wreath incorporates LEGO pumpkins, spiders, bats, ghosts, bones and more within the dark green foliage elements. Once again, like previous LEGO iterations of wreaths, 40825 is mainly for display, with the ability to hang the model with a hanging loop or brick-built hook feature. 40825 Halloween Wreath Set Name - Halloween Wreath Set Number - 40825 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 617 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st August 2025 40825 Halloween Wreath releases on the 1st of August 2025, but what do you think?

To coincide with both Back to Hogwarts day and the release of LEGO's latest Harry Potter branded D2C, the LEGO Harry Potter theme will also be launching a brand new Gift With Purchase starting from the 1st of September 2025. In particular, this is 40770 Room of Requirement, which will be free with purchases of the recently leaked 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition . The 8+ models 202 pieces will be used to create the latest brick-built interpretation of the Room of Requirement - a magical room in Hogwarts Castle that appears only when a person has a specific need for it. 2025's Gift With Purchase version of the magical room will be much smaller than the now-retired 76413 Hogwarts: Room of Requirement, but may be compatible with the most recent and most detailed LEGO Hogwarts Castle modular system yet. If the GWP, as is expected, somewhat ties into 76457 then it's very likely that LEGO will depict the room in its Dumbledor's Army training configuration. We can expect the small, open-faced Hogwarts room to include sand coloured walls, decorative window frames and a tiled floor. The main play feature may be the ability for one of hopefully two Minifigures included in 40770 to duel against a brick-built Duelling dummy, similar to the one that appeared in 75966 Hogwarts Room of Requirement. 40770 Room of Requirement Set Name - Room of Requirement Set Number - 40770 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 202 Availability - Free with purchases of 76457 Promo Dates - 1st - TBC September 2025 40770 Room of Requirement is available starting from the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition to pick up 40770? What other LEGO Harry Potter sets do you want to see in 2026 and beyond? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

The first leaked images of the upcoming LEGO Harry Potter 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition have surfaced online, giving us our first look at this magical new Direct to Consumer set. Releasing on the 1st of September 2025, the winter-themed 18+ model includes a total of 3,228 pieces retailing for $379.99 / €379.99 / £349.99. As the name suggests, 76457 recreates the most detailed version of the famous Wizarding Village named Hogsmeade in brick-built form yet. Like the much-loved 75978 Diagon Alley, this brand-new LEGO Harry Potter Collector's Edition model is built in a modular street format. It utilises three 16x32 baseplates that connect to form a long and highly detailed Minifigure-friendly display version of Hogsmeade, complete in its iconic snow-covered winter setting. The first baseplate features three charming brick-built shops: the Owl Post, Dervish & Banges and Honeydukes. The Owl Post, Hogsmeade's post office, is the smallest and most compact shop in this 18+ version of the Wizarding Village. However, the shop still keeps its character with a cosy, wooden exterior recreated in brick-built LEGO, along with a red door and reportedly stickered red Owl Post sign. Inside, we can find a large map of the UK along with plenty of sorting cabinets and printed letter tiles. Similarly, the shop specialising in magical items, tools, and broomsticks known as Dervish & Banges, is very small and compact. It's about the same size as the Owl Post, but with bits of gold and green colouring on its exterior and an even smaller interior. The famous Honeydukes candy store and its signature green and pink exterior is much larger, however. The store's windows are filled with LEGO candy and treats, which can then be further found inside on green and pink display stands. The second baseplate is dedicated entirely to one of Hogsmeade's most famous landmarks, The Three Broomsticks. The large two-storey pub is instantly recognisable with its snow-topped triangular roof and tall chimneys, which can be found on some of the other shops included in 76457. Inside, the warm and rustic setting is brought to life with timber beams, a bar, wooden tables and chairs, a stickered menu display and plenty of mugs of Butterbeer. The third and final baseplate includes the Hog's Head Inn and Zonko's Joke Shop. Compared to The Three Broomsticks, the Hog's Head Inn, owned by Aberforth Dumbledore, is a much darker and moodier pub with a grey coloured exterior. Next door, however, Zonko's Joke Shop provides a burst of whimsy with a brightly coloured red facade. Here, we can find shelves stacked with magical prank items, fireworks, and joke products to add to the range of unique Harry Potter-themed accessories found in the 18+ model. Across all three modular baseplates, the snowy rooftops and cobblestone streets are dotted with lamp posts, benches, and small decorative touches that help bring the village scene to life. Each building is open-backed, allowing easy access to the fully detailed interiors, making the set just as interactive as it is display-worthy. When connected, the full model and its seven buildings/shops measure an impressive 76 cm wide and 33 cm high. A Minifigure-friendly build isn't complete without an excellent lineup of new and returning LEGO Harry Potter characters. 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition 12 LEGO Minifigures include Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Katie Bell, Cornelius Fudge, Professor McGonagall, Horace Slughorn, Aberforth Dumbledore, Madam Rosmerta, Mrs Flume, and a Zonko’s employee. 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition Set Name - Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition Set Number - 76457 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,228 Price - $379.99 / €379.99 / £349.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition releases on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think?

The LEGO x Nike collaboration continues to expand as we enter the latter end of 2025, and now the first leaked images of two upcoming sets have surfaced online, thanks to sneakernews.com . Following on from 43008 NIKE Dunk With Logo & Basketball , both 43010 and 43021 are the latest brick-built creations as part of LEGO and Nike's ever-growing partnership, celebrating imagination, creativity, play and sport once they release on the 1st of September 2025. 43010 Nike Slam Dunk 43010 Nike Slam Dunk is a vibrant diorama that captures the moment of a dramatic basketball dunk. The focal point of the 10+ build is a brick-built basketball player in a vibrant blue Nike-branded basketball vest. The figure is posed mid-air, leaping off the ground with one arm stretched holding an orange basketball, whilst the other is used to help keep balance during this powerful movement into the orange hoop with a transparent backboard. The figure can reportedly be removed from the diorama build, but has movement limited to its arms and fingers from these leaked images. The player stands on top of a small section of a colourful basketball court. The base is decorated with shades of blue and tan, along with some further white tiled elements to represent court markings. The 809-piece set is then complete with a printed scoreboard, attached to the long black technic pole of the basketball. Set Name - Nike Slam Dunk Set Number - 43010 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 809 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 43021 Nike Dunk Trickshot 43021 was previously rumoured to be a brick-built version of the iconic Nike swoosh logo, but instead combines elements of both 43008 and 43010 to create more of an entry level LEGO Nike set. The 10+ model, the cheapest Nike branded set yet retailing for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99, is another, much smaller coloruful diorama build. It includes an exclusive LEGO Nike Minifigure standing on top of a red "St. Johns" low top. The Dunk is attached to a movable LEGO board underneath, allowing you to move the shoe and make the figure dunk into the hoop at the front of the model. In the background of 43021 is a range of colourful tiles and exclusive Nike prints to create a very creative and likely customisable display model. Set Name - Nike Dunk Trickshot Set Number - 43021 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 454 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 These two LEGO Nike  sets are rumoured to be releasing on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing the two models in a few weeks time? Have you already purchased July's 43008 NIKE Dunk With Logo & Basketball ?

Since the theme's reintroduction back in 2018, LEGO Harry Potter has released a magical D2C every September, and in 2025, this is no different. This year's Direct to Consumer model is 76457 Hogsmeade Village, which includes a total of 3,228 pieces retailing for $379.99 / €379.99 / £349.99. The 18+ model will be entirely Minifigure scale in a similar modular-like way that the currently available and ever-popular 75978 Diagon Alley was built in. Hogsmeade is the iconic all-wizarding village which we see throughout the Harry Potter movies, but particularly during the winter with snow covering the village's rooftops. This wintery look will likely be translated into brick-built LEGO form with multiple iconic locations and buildings spread out across a long, snow-covered cobbled street. Several medium to large buildings from Hogsmeade will be built, each with its own unique design, play features and detailed interior and exterior. The Three Broomsticks will probably be the largest building as part of this 18+ Hogsmeade Village recreation. It will likely stretch across two floors, with the main element of the building being the iconic pub where the students often take shelter during the cold winter. The warm and rustic setting will be complete with a bar, plenty of wooden chairs and tables, mugs of Butterbeer, a roaring fireplace and possibly the list of students who sign up to 'Dumbledore's Army'. The famous sweet shop Honeydukes will also likely be included and pair well with Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, which was included in the previously mentioned Diagon Alley D2C. Hogsmeade's favourite sweet shop will likely include plenty of colourful elements to represent sweet jars, chocolate frogs and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. Its green and pink colour scheme will bring plenty of colour to the snow-covered brick-built village. Other possible buildings included in 76457 may be Zonko's Joke Shop or Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop. Just like all the various buildings included in the LEGO Hogsmeade Village, these will likely have a fully open back and expand across two floors, allowing plenty of playability and access to the detailed interiors. The set will also likely include cobblestone pathways, lamp posts and benches to bring the buildings to life in a unique and magical village scene. Finally, the latest LEGO Harry Potter D2C can't be complete without an incredible lineup of Minifigures. Currently, like most of the information in this article, nothing is confirmed, and therefore, we can only speculate about what characters may be included in 76457. The main trio will definitely appear, possibly in winter-themed outfits, along with some of our favourite students. Hopefully, more unique and exclusive figures also make an appearance, such as Madam Rosmerta, Aberforth Dumbledore, Ambrosius Flume and Madam Puddifoot. 76457 Hogsmeade Village Set Name - Hogsmeade Village Set Number - 76457 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,228 Price - $379.99 / €379.99 / £349.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 76457 Hogsmeade Village releases on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 76457 in a couple of months time? What buildings and locations from the iconic wizarding village do you want to see in brick-built LEGO form?

Following the successful release of 43008 NIKE Dunk With Logo & Basketball in July, another two LEGO Nike -branded sets are rumoured to be releasing in just a few weeks' time. Whilst we've known for some time that 43021 will be a brick-built recreation of the classic Nike swoosh logo, the more mysterious and expensive of the two models has remained a mystery... However, thanks to Instagram user lego_minecraft_goat , the previously rumoured 43010 will be entitled Nike Slam Dunk, still including a total of 809 pieces but retailing for $79.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. The latest set involving the two iconic global brands will once again be more of a brick-built display model rather than a Minifigure-friendly play set. In fact, 43010 Nike Slam Dunk is a vibrant diorama that captures the moment of a dramatic basketball dunk The focal point of the 10+ build is a brick-built basketball player in a vibrant blue Nike-branded basketball vest. The figure is posed mid-air, leaping off the ground with one arm stretched holding an orange basketball, whilst the other is used to help keep balance during this powerful movement into the hoop. The brick-built orange basketball will likely be very similar to the one that appears in 43008, but may be permanently attached to the figure's hand. The player stands on top of a small section of a colourful basketball court. The base is decorated with shades of blue, purple and white and likely includes tiled elements to represent court markings. Connecting the brick-built player to this small section of court will likely be another Nike-branded item - this time, another entirely brick-built LEGO Nike shoe. Towering above the scene is a basketball hoop, built with a black support pole, an orange rim and a further detailed and colourful backboard. The hoop itself is positioned so that the player's outstretched hand nearly touches it, perfectly framing the action of the dunk. The set may also include a brick-built scoreboard, continuing the previous blue and purple colour scheme of the overall model. There's no confirmation of Minifigures, but we have our fingers crossed for another exclusive Nike-branded character. 43010 Nike Slam Dunk Set Name - Nike Slam Dunk Set Number - 43010 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 809 Price - $79.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st September 2025 43010 Nike Slam Dunk releases on the 1st of September 2025, but what do you think?
