As the official trailer for Toy Story 5 dropped just yesterday, the LEGO Group are expected to be one of many toy companies producing merchandise ahead of the fifth and possibly final Toy Story film. In particular, the LEGO Disney theme will be releasing a brand new 18+ model with 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook. Releasing on the 1st of April 2026, 43301 includes a total of 1,311 pieces retailing for $149.99 / €149.99 / £129.99. Our second LEGO Disney adult-oriented set, following on from next month's 43300 Winnie The Pooh , returns to the LEGO Book Nook subtheme, which first began last summer with the release of 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook and 10367 The Lord of the Rings: Balrog Book Nook . This time, however, rather than an iconic location or battle scene, we're getting a large brick-built version of Slinky Dog to be placed between books on a shelf. Even though current rumours suggest that the set is a Book Nook, 43301 will more likely be built as a functional bookend that can be placed at the end of a row of books to keep them upright, similar to September 2025's 75691 Glinda & Elphaba Bookends . Given Slinky's unique flexible spring design, it's highly likely the set will be split into two halves - his front and back - with his spring body 'stretching' across your book collection. The front end will feature Slinky's head, front paws and a portion of this spring. A brick-built, detailed face belonging to the loveable toy will appear with a highly expressive facial expression, portraying the character perfectly. The rest of Slinky's spring is found at the back of the bookend/book nook, along with his hindquarters and wagging tail. The sections can either be connected to create more of a book nook structure or placed at either end of a bookshelf, creating an optical illusion that Slinky's body is stretching through the books. The base that the brick-built Slinky Dog is placed on is another talking point of the build. With the set replicating a book nook of a large brick-built character, the base won't be the focal point of 43301, but may still include various brick-built details and Easter eggs. For example, we may see references to Andy's Room or oversized alphabet blocks and board game pieces to establish a brick-built toy scale. What has been confirmed, however, is that two LEGO Minifigures will be included in 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook. These are Woody, who will likely be the exact same as his most recent appearance in 40774 Classic Animation Scenes GWP and our first ever Minifigure scale version of Slinky Dog. The reliable leaker Unibricks on Instagram reports that Slinky will be made from two pieces with a rubber middle representing the spring. 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook Set Name - Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook Set Number - 43301 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,311 Price - $149.99 / €149.99 / £129.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook is releasing on the 1st of April 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 43301 in a few weeks? Are you looking forward to finally getting both a brick-built version and a LEGO Minifigure version of Slinky?

On the 1st of March 2026, the LEGO Disney theme will be releasing a diverse range of sets and licenses from Winnie the Pooh and The Nightmare Before Christmas to UP and now Moana. The popular Disney Princess franchise will be launching a live-action remake of the original 2016 film this summer, and what better way to celebrate than by launching some brand-new LEGO Moana sets, including the focus of today's article: 43292 Pua the Pig. The 9+ model includes a total of 885 pieces reportedly retailing for just $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99. The 2026 set will be the perfect companion for last March's Moana-branded LEGO set: 43272 Heihei . Just like the on-screen counterpart, the brick-built LEGO version of Pua the Pig will be bigger than the extremely colourful yet thin Heihei the rooster. Pua's build will likely focus on the character's plump and almost squishy-like appearance, utilising many layered pieces and curved slopes and tiles. The character's head will likely be the most detailed part with brick-built recreations of Pua's snout, eyes and ears. Overall, the pig will be coloured mainly white with black spots, matching his cartoon design. Small, movable legs and a curly tail will also be included in the 885-piece set alongside a small yet characterful display stand similar to 43272 Heihei . 43292 Pua the Pig Set Name - Pua the Pig Set Number - 43292 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 885 Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 Release Date - 1st March 2026 43292 Pua the Pig releases on the 1st of March 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 43292 in just a months time? Do you already own last year's 43272 Heihei ?

Not one but two LEGO Disney  Winnie the Pooh sets are coming in 2026 to celebrate 100 years of the Winnie the Pooh franchise. Alongside 43300 Winnie the Pooh , 43305 Piglet's Birthday Fun has also been officially revealed for a 1st of March 2026 release. The 9+ model, targeted to a much younger audience than the adult-oriented 43300, includes 544 pieces retailing for just $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99. Even though it's a 9+ model, the  LEGO Disney  set is another brick-built character in a similar size and design style as the likes of 43243 Simba the Lion King Cub and 43286 The Aristocats Adorable Marie. Piglet measures 17cm high and can be posed in various different ways with movement in the figure's head, ears, arms and feet. The mainly pink figure includes printed eyes and mouth along with brick-built accessories of a party hat, a flower and a balloon. Just like 43300 Winnie the Pooh , a substantial side build is also included, of an entirely brick-built LEGO cake covered in blue icing and a single candle. This cake can be opened to reveal another Minifigure scale interior with various brick-built details reminiscent of the world of Winnie the Pooh. Finally, a singular LEGO Minifigure of Piglet is included alongside a pot of honey as an accessory. 43305 Piglet's Birthday Fun Set Name - Piglet's Birthday Fun Set Number - 43305 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 544 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st March 2026 43305 Piglet's Birthday Fun releases on the 1st of March 2026, but what do you think?

The LEGO Group has already hopped into the spirit of the season with the release of 40863 Easter Egg Basket and 40957 Spring Wreath . However, as we draw closer to the cultural and religious holiday, the Danish toy manufacturer is preparing to launch its annual Easter Gift With Purchase . This year's LEGO Easter promotional set is 40890 Easter Decorations, which is available from the 17th to the 26th of March 2026 for a currently unknown threshold. The 7+ model and its 312 pieces feature six charming Easter-inspired mini-builds perfect for a holiday display. Two of the six brick-built decorations are Easter eggs with different colour schemes utilising a spring-heavy palette consisting of yellow, light blue, light green, pink and purple. Each egg also includes two LEGO leaf pieces at the front lower part of the build, along with yellow and purple 1x1 flower elements. Another flowery build can be found with the third brick-built Easter decoration, which literally recreates a simple daffodil, complete with yellow petals and a light green stem. The remaining three Easter Decorations recreate spring and Easter themed anaimals including a grey rabbit holding two LEGO carrots, a yellow chick emerging from an Easter egg and a cute lamb found in a brown basket build. 40890 Easter Decorations Set Name - Easter Decorations Set Number - 40890 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 312 Availability - TBC Promo Dates - 17th-26th March 2026 40890 Easter Decorations is available from the 17th of March 2026, but what do you think?

2023 had Houses of the World, 2024 had Shops of the World, but in 2026, a new Gift With Purchase series will be debuting with Restaurants of the World, starting later this month. The previous two promotional series recreated iconic, beautiful-looking houses and shops from around the world in brick-built form. But this new series not only focuses on Restaurants, it also moves away from the previous microscale format to Minifigure-scale sets. 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan is the first promotional set from this new subtheme, which is available from the 27th of February alongside plenty of LEGO Pokémon fun. A threshold or promotion period has not been announced yet, but the 12+ model will most likely be available for one to two weeks, with a much higher threshold than the currently available  40886 Penguins in Love at around $200 to $250. As the name states, the GWP series is starting in Japan with 289 pieces recreating a traditional Japanese sushi bar. The sushi bar features traditional Japanese decor, a nigiri sushi piece, chopsticks, a fish, a knife, and a menu. The roof is the most eye ctaching element of the build, featuring a large brick-built sushi piece placed between two large chopsticks and a couple of pink decorative flowers. The single LEGO Minifigure  included in 40906 is a chef in traditional attire. 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan Set Name - Restaurants of the World: Japan Set Number - 40906 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 289 Availability - TBC Promo Dates - 27th February - TBC 2026 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan is available from the 27th of February 2026, but what do you think?

Not one but two LEGO Fortnite -branded BrickHeadz sets are releasing next month as the LEGO Group has officially revealed 40910 Beef Boss & Skye Figures for a 1st of March 2026 release. The 10+ model, however, unlike 40881 Supply Llama & Fishstick Figures , will only be available in the LEGO Insiders rewards centre by redeeming 2,500 LEGO Insiders points with your brick-filled fun purchase. 288 pieces are included in 40910 to recreate the popular Fortnite in-game outfits of Beef Boss and Skye as LEGO BrickHeadz . Serving as the mascot for the Durrr Burger restaurant, Beef Boss has his entire head built as a brick-built burger, with two round eyes sticking out of the top bun and a long purple tongue appearing between the bun and a layer of red tomato ketchup. Meanwhile, the Skye LEGO BrickHeadz figure follows the more conventional format to recreate the former agent of GHOST in this blocky brick-built format. She obviously includes her well-known shapeshifting creature, Ollie, as her hat with a cute printed expression. The rest of the figure perfectly replicates Skye's brown flowing hair along with her blue, red and yellow outfit. She also includes a pickaxe as an accessory to go alongside Beef Boss's sword. 40910 Beef Boss & Skye Figures Set Name - Beef Boss & Skye Figures Set Number - 40910 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 288 Availability - Free by redeeming 2,500 LEGO Insiders points Release Date - 1st March 2026 40910 Beef Boss & Skye Figures releases on the 1st of March 2026, but what do you think?

2026 is here for the LEGO Architecture  theme as the LEGO Group has officially revealed the first of four sets expected from the theme next year. In particular, the entirely 18+ line of brick-built models is returning to the beautiful and culture-packed streets of France with 21064 Paris - City of Love. Releasing on the 1st of January 2026, 21064 includes a total of 958 pieces retailing for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99. The build of 21064 Paris - City of Love is somewhat similar to the familiar LEGO Architecture  Skyline sets, which already includes a model based on the French Capital of 21044 Paris. The 12+ model retires at the end of this year and includes over 300 fewer pieces than the upcoming 2026 set. This is because 21064 captures not just the iconic buildings and architecture of the French capital but also the overall feel and culture as a blend between LEGO Art and LEGO Architecture . At the centre of the set, the Eiffel Tower takes centre stage, bursting out of the white frame surrounding the brick-built Paris scene. On either side of the lattice-structured icon, we can find further iconic French-inspired builds such as Notre-Dame de Paris, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre. The 18+ model is then complete with a beautiful starry night sky background and a printed 'City of Love' tile built into the previously mentioned white frame. 21064 Paris - City of Love Set Name - Paris - City of Love Set Number - 21064 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 958 Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 21064 Paris - City of Love releases on the 1st of January 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21064 in a few weeks time? Do you currently own 21044 Paris? Which of the four entirely brick-built Paris architecture icons do you like the most?

February is upon us, and that means the beginning of one of the most anticipated LEGO licenses in recent years: LEGO Pokémon . The debut wave for the gaming theme focuses entirely on adult-oriented 18+ branded sets, all releasing on Pokémon day, the 27th of February 2026. These include 72151 Eevee , 72152 Pikachu and Poké Ball and, likely one of the biggest sets released over the course of the next 12 months, 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise . Away from Pokémon, February also leans into seasonal and lifestyle builds. 11503 Flower Wall  and 40957 Spring Wreath  signal LEGO’s transition toward spring décor, while 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy offers a charming animal display piece for those who loved LEGO Ideas ' 21349 Tuxedo Cat . Combined with continued LEGO Insiders rewards and promotional items like 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan, February strikes a careful balance between collectable 18+ models, seasonal home décor, and accessible gift sets. If you're planning a LEGO haul this month, there's plenty to consider - especially when it comes to GWP sets. From Valentine's Day exclusives, promotions and events to the debut launch of the LEGO Pokémon line, February offers a range of promotional builds to help you make the most of your spend. Here’s everything we know so far about February 2026’s full selection of LEGO GWPs : 40886 Penguins in Love Kicking off February's promotional lineup is a Valentine's Day-themed GWP with 40886 Penguins in Love . Designed as a charming seasonal display set, the 278-piece model features two brick-built penguins together in a heartwarming snow scene. 40886 is currently available now and will be with any LEGO purchases over $80 until the 6th of February 2026.

The build is inspired by the various versions of the Pokémon Center from the games, this time recreated in a brick-built LEGO microscale form, making it a perfect companion piece to February’s wider Pokémon releases on the 27th of February 2026. 40911 also features sliding doors that can be opened and closed with levers, along with a recovery station, a seating area and a PC being found inside. Set Name - Mini Pokémon Center Set Number - 40911 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 233 Availability - Free with 2,500 LEGO Insiders points Promo Dates - 27th February 2026 40892 Kanto Region Badge Collection Design to accompany the release of 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise , another LEGO Pokémon GWP is also available from the 27th of February 2026.

However, 40906 isn't Pokémon themed and instead welcomes a brand new series of promotional sets named Restaurants of the World. The 12+ model and its 289 pieces recreate a Japanese sushi bar, which includes a single LEGO Minifigure of a chef in traditional attire. Threshold and exact promotional dates are still to be confirmed. Set Name - Restaurants of the World: Japan Set Number - 40906 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 289 Availability - TBC Promo Dates - 27th February - TBC 2026 At a Glance: February 2026 GWP Round-Up Set Purchase Requirement Promo Dates 40886 Penguins in Love Free with purchases over $80 29th Jan - 6th Feb 40911 Mini Pokémon Center Free with 2,500 Insiders points 27th Feb 40892 Kanto Region Badge Collection Free with purchases of 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise 27th Feb - 3 Mar 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan TBC 27th Feb - TBC That concludes everything we know so far about LEGO’s February 2026 promotional items.

In May 2025, the LEGO Group released a Minifigures series with no actual LEGO Minifigures as part of the company's multi-year partnership with Formula 1. While that partnership continues to grow from strength to strength, the LEGO Minifigures theme has returned to its standard format, featuring 12 unique and exclusive collectable LEGO characters. Following on from last month's 71051 Animals Series 28 , another numbered series awaits us on the 1st of May 2026. In particular, this is the 29th numbered LEGO Minifigures series, releasing under the set number 71052 and retailing for the usual price of $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49. Series 29 also returns to the classic format with no specific theme and instead focuses on fun and detailed brick-built interpretations of everyday professionals, mythical creatures, historic figures and references to existing and past LEGO themes. Rumoured Minifigure Lineup Here’s a breakdown of the twelve rumoured figures said to make up 71052 CMF Series 29: Football Goalkeeper  - Bringing a sporty vibe to the series, the Football Goalkeeper features a brand new LEGO football element along with a detailed and vibrant goalkeeper kit printed on the figure's torso and legs. The Minifigure will match perfectly with the FIFA World Cup-inspired LEGO Editions sets releasing next month. Marine Biologist  - A brand new LEGO Marine Biologist figure will be coming in Series 29, following on from 71027 Series 20's Marine Biologist . The 2026 LEGO Minifigure may be a gender swap of 2020's unlicensed series, but it will include a brand new clownfish element, referencing LEGO Disney's Nemo. Tuba Player - Music fans will love this addition, as a LEGO Tuba Player is coming in May 2026. The figure introduces a brand-new LEGO tuba piece, replacing the previous element first seen in the LEGO Fabuland theme back in 1984. Unicorn Elf  - The Unicorn Elf is a magical woodland character who comes in a nature-inspired outfit with different shades of green and leaf detailing. She uses the LEGO Marvel Wonder Woman hair and crown piece, but with exclusive printing for the crown, along with a 'dirty blonde' like coloured hair. Monster Hunter  - Armoured with a mysterious new LEGO weapon, the Monster Hunter is one of Series 29's most unique and creative figures. The Monster Hunter looks to reference the individuals and groups throughout history who actually hunted for 'monsters' with a more older aesthetic, along with detailed printing and dark pink hair for the LEGO Minifigure . Robot T-Rex  - Another eye-catching and creative Minifigure is the Robot T-Rex. The figure's torso and legs are covered in intricate mechanical printing, including exposed gears and power cells for the robot like look. The T-Rex themed Minifigure will likely also utilise 71037 Series 24s T-Rex Costumer Fan's head piece, but with more of that metallic and mechanical robot look. Chocolatier  - Clearly inspired by a certain famous sweet maker, Series 29's Chocolatier builds on the popularity of last year's 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . The standard non-branded sweet-themed figure will likely feature a brown outfit with gold detailing and a whimsical top hat similar to the LEGO Willy Wonka figure. A brown chocolate dragon sculpture is also included as an accessory, just like the red mini dragon included in 71047 Dungeons & Dragons . Boba Cup Fan  - Continuing the food-costume trend seen across previous LEGO Minifigure series, the Boba Cup Fan literally features a large, cylindrical boba tea cup suit to cover the Minifigure's torso and legs. The headpiece may even include a 'straw' sticking out the top, along with an appropriately themed accessory. Bionicle Cosplayer  - A nostalgic nod to LEGO's action figure legacy, the Bionicle Cosplayer wears armour inspired by classic biomechanical LEGO Bionicle heroes. The figure will be based on the red Bionicle Tahu and include a brand new helmet element to further replicate the brick-built action figure as a standard LEGO Minifigure . Mysterious Ronin  - The Mysterious Ronin is literally a very mysterious figure, with rumours suggesting that this Minifigure is a tribute to Lloyd from the LEGO NINJAGO theme, celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2026. The figure's torso and legs are mainly coloured shades of blue with black gloves, black boots and various detailed prints. Cute Witch  - A charming twist on a classic Halloween character, this witch features a detailed dress print and a traditional pointed witch's hat. A small potion bottle and broomstick will likely be included along with face prints that give the LEGO character a cuter and friendlier personality. Trash Monster  - Last but not least, we have another very creative yet stinky character, the Trash Monster. This figure is literally built around a bulky trash-themed suit with a head of slime that slithers down to further shades of green and eventually brown, representing dirt. Various insect and food prints from people's trash can also be found on the figure. 71052 CMF Series 29 Set Name - CMF Series 29 Set Number - 71052 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 Release Date - 1st May 2026 71052 CMF Series 29 releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think?

Alongside 40861 Sulley, Mike and Boo Figures , the LEGO Group is releasing another LEGO BrickHeadz model, the fourth of 2026: 40881 Supply Llama & Fishstick Figures. The LEGO Fortnite theme has already had a range of BrickHeadz sets released, but on the 1st of March 2026, brick-built versions of both Supply Llama and Fishstick will be available for $24.99 / €24.99 / £19.99. The 300-piece set recreates both figures on the classic, simple black display stand for LEGO BrickHeadz . The iconic Supply Llama is as colourful and as vibrant as ever, with a range of blues and purples and its eyes on each side of its blocky face. Fishsticks, meanwhile, is mainly orange with a light blue outfit and a printed smile. The figure also features a brown hat and a pickaxe accessory in one of its hands. 40881 Supply Llama & Fishstick Figures Set Name - Supply Llama & Fishstick Figures Set Number - 40881 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 300 Price - $24.99 / €24.99 / £19.99 Release Date - 1st March 2026 40881 Supply Llama & Fishstick Figures releases on the 1st of March 2026, but what do you think?

The LEGO Botanicals is having a very busy start to 2026 with sets releasing in January, February and March, a new Gift With Purchase expected next month and now a LEGO Botanicals -branded LEGO Insiders reward. In particular, this reward, accessible via LEGO shop@home is 6615075 Dragonfly Garden. The 10+ model includes a total of 154 pieces and is available from the 15th of January 2026 by redeeming 2,000 LEGO Insiders points. The set itself isn't very big, but makes the perfect desk display model. Coming out of the black base, we can find numerous plants and vegetation, with many of these plants in the early stages of growth. However, a fully grown plant is this beautiful purple flower with two green leaves around its stem. A brick-built blue dragonfly can then be found flying around the flower, attached to another plant and slightly angled to showcase the complex yet small LEGO insect. 6615075 Dragonfly Garden Set Name - Dragonfly Garden Set Number - 6615075 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 154 Availability - Free by redeeming 2,000 LEGO Insiders points Promo Dates - 15th January 2026 6615075 Dragonfly Garden is available from the 15th of January 2026 by redeeming 2,000 LEGO Insiders points, but what do you think?

Pokémon Day is this Friday, and that means we are just days away from the first-ever Pokémon-branded LEGO sets. The LEGO Pokémon theme will debut with just three sets , all rated 18+ and all recreating some of the most iconic Pokémon in brick-built form. But those three models aren't the only sets for 2026, as, along with various Pokémon-themed Gift With Purchases , almost 20 sets are expected to be released in the summer for the licensed theme. Apart from another adult-oriented 18+ model for the gaming theme, the Summer wave is made up of LEGO Pokémon playsets for younger builders. Many of these models make use of the brand-new LEGO SMART Play technology, which debuts next month with the LEGO Star Wars theme. However, some sets are reportedly our classic LEGO playsets: no technology, no brick-built characters and instead LEGO Pokémon Minifigures/moulded figures with playful builds and iconic locations in brick-built LEGO. 72150 TBC LEGO Pokémon Set Name - TBC LEGO Pokémon Set Number - 72150 Age Range - TBC Piece Count - 757 Price - $69.99 / €69.99  / £59.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72154 TBC LEGO Pokémon Set Name - TBC LEGO Pokémon Set Number - 72154 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,339 Price - $259.99 / €259.99  / £219.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72155 TBC LEGO Pokémon Set Name - TBC LEGO Pokémon Set Number - 72155 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $TBC / €TBC  / £TBC Release Date - 1st August 2026 72156 Squirtle's Training Buggy Adventure The first rumoured set on this list to actually have a name is 72156 Squirtle's Training Buggy Adventure. Unfortunately, all of the sets with rumoured names are reportedly LEGO SMART Play models, with this 7+ model being the first. The build will likely include a small brick-built buggy for a LEGO Squirtle and a SMART Brick to interact with, along with possibly a simple outdoor obstacle setup to simulate a fully interactive training course. Set Name - Squirtle's Training Buggy Adventure Set Number - 72156 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $TBC / €TBC  / £TBC Release Date - 1st August 2026 72157 Charmander's Wild Encounter with Geodude An exciting Pokémon-themed battle looks set to be recreated in 72157 Charmander's Wild Encounter with Geodude. Once again, this 12+ model is SMART Play branded, and if it is battle-based, then we could see a build with similar functionality as 75427 SMART Play: Throne Room Duel & A-Wing . Obviously, 72157 will also include the fire-type Charmander and the rock Pokémon Geodude in LEGO for the first time.

Retailing for $69.99 / €69.99  / £59.99, Pikachu, about the same size if not smaller than a LEGO BrickHeadz figure, is included alongside the revolutionary SMART Brick and a Pikachu-shaped house for the brick-built figure to interact with in various ground-breaking ways.

We've seen these sorts of brick-built characters in both the LEGO Disney and LEGO Harry Potter themes, and on the 1st of August 2026, the LEGO Pokémon theme will join this trend. 72167 will recreate poseable brick-built versions of Jolteon and Charizard, complete with articulated wings.

Will you be purchasing any of these more play-friendly models this Summer? Will you be purchasing any of the 18+ sets releasing on Pokémon Day? What do you think of the LEGO SMART Play  system?

Almost 12 months after the original announcement, LEGO Pokémon  is finally here as the LEGO Group has officially revealed three brand new sets for the latest licensed theme in LEGO's ever-expanding portfolio. All three models are branded as 18+, available to catch and build from Pokémon Day on the 27th of February 2026. Out of the three models, 72153 is the biggest and most expensive, with a whopping 6,838 pieces retailing for $649.99 / €649.99 / £579.99. Likely one of the biggest sets of the year, it recreates the final evolutions of the Kanto starters of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise in brick-built LEGO form. 72151 Eevee Our first LEGO Pokémon  set is, just like the other two models on this list, a brick-built display model of the Pokémon Eevee. With 587 pieces retailing for $59.99 / €59.99  / £54.99, Eevee is built on a similar scale to previous brick-built characters such as 43249 Stitch  but obviously targeted at an older audience. The extremely cute and expressive LEGO Eevee is built with her primarily brown fur and fox-like shape, along with a poseable head, ears, legs and a fluffy brick-built tail. Set Name - Eevee Set Number - 72151 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 587 Price - $59.99 / €59.99  / £54.99 Release Date - 27th February 2026 72152 Pikachu and Poké Ball You can't have a debut wave of LEGO Pokémon  without the most iconic and loved Pokémon, Pikachu. The yellow Electric-type Mouse Pokémon is even larger than 72151 Eevee, retailing for $199.99 / €199.99  / £179.99 with a total of 2,050 pieces. Along with the expressive and fully articulated brick-built Pokémon, there are lightning sparks symbolising the character's energy stores, a lightning-shaped display stand, and a LEGO Poké Ball. Set Name - Pikachu and Poké Ball Set Number - 72152 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,050 Price - $199.99 / €199.99  / £179.99 Release Date - 27th February 2026 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise And they keep on getting bigger and more expensive as the final LEGO Pokémon  set releasing on the 27th of February 2026 is 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise . The third 18+ model for the theme almost functions as a Pokémon Ultimate Collectors Series display set, retailing for $649.99 / €649.99  / £579.99 with an incredible 6,838 pieces included. Each of the three Pokémon, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, are in a similar scale to both Eevee and Pikachu but displayed on a highly detailed stand comprising of a beach, jungle and volcano biomes. Venusaur has movable vines and feet, Blastoise has an articulated head, arms and water cannons, and Charizard’s wings, legs, arms and head can be posed. This makes each of the three figures the perfect LEGO Pokémon  display set, where the final evolutions can either stand alone on the stand to create an epic battleground. Set Name - Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise Set Number - 72153 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 6,838 Price - $649.99 / €649.99  / £579.99 Release Date - 27th February 2026 All three of these LEGO Pokémon  sets are releasing on the 27th of February 2026, but what do you think?

LEGO's ever-popular LEGO Ideas theme continues to deliver unique licensed sets, and this September, the 18+ theme is taking fans deep into one of the most imaginative worlds ever created. In particular, LEGO has officially revealed 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, a colourful brick-built tribute to Roald Dahl’s classic story and its much-loved 1971 film adaptation. Set 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory will release on the 15th of September 2025, including 2,025 pieces retailing for $219.99 / €219.99  / £199.99. 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, is the first of hopefully many future LEGO sets paying tribute to the famous children's author. At the heart of the build is the Chocolate Room, recreated in dazzling LEGO detail. The centrepiece is a flowing chocolate waterfall and river, surrounded by a landscape of candy-themed creations that capture the dreamlike atmosphere of Wonka’s factory. Oversized mushrooms, lollipop-style trees, and sugary terrain all help bring the fantastical scene to life. A colourful brick-built bridge stretches across the chocolate river, giving the LEGO Minifigures the perfect vantage point to admire the view. The melted chocolate waterfall, just like the original submission, is fully operational with a dial at the back setting the brick-built waterfall into motion. There's also a secret door allowing access to Willy Wonka's office alongside the Oompa Loompas' work area. The exclusive Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Minifigures included in 21360 can also take in the colourful, chocolatey scenery by taking the famous Wonkatania boat, which is included as a side build and fits perfectly on the LEGO version of the chocolate river. Talking about Minifigures, a total of 9 characters are included in the final design - one more than the original submission. These include Charlie Bucket, Grandpa Bucket, Willy Wonka, Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Mike Teevee, and two Oompa-Loompas. Willy Wonka includes a brand new headpiece, whilst Augustus Gloop includes an alternative chocolate-covered face, and each of the five children includes a Golden Ticket accessory. 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Set Name - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory Set Number - 21360 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,025 Price - $219.99 / €219.99  / £199.99 Release Date - 15th September 2025 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory releases on the 15th of September 2025, but what do you think?

Following on from the superhero-heavy 71050 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Series launching next month, the next LEGO Minifigure series is set to return to LEGO's quirky roots with a full lineup of twelve animal-themed costume characters. In particular, this will be 71051 CMF Series 28: Animals, which releases on the 1st of January 2026 for the usual price of $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49. Series 28 will follow on from the likes of 71010 Series 14: Monsters and 71046 Series 26: Space , with a numbered series based around a specific theme. This time, our first LEGO Minifigure series of 2026 will be centred entirely on costume-style figures, building on the popularity of past single-character suits such as Pterodactyl Costume Fan and Hamster Costume Fan, which both appeared in 71048 Series 27 . Rumoured Minifigure Lineup Here’s a breakdown of the twelve rumoured figures said to make up CMF Series 28: Animals: Peacock Costume Fan - One of the most vibrant costumes in this series, the Peacock Costume Fan will likely feature a bold and colourful peacock tail piece, similar to the piece used for the Turkey Costume in 71034 Series 23 . A small flower build will also be included as an accessory. White Cat Costume Fan - A feline-inspired figure, but this time with an entirely white cat head piece, torso and tail, along with a ball of pink coloured yarn. Fish Costume Fan - There's something a bit fishy about this figure, but we can expect another humorous and unique character accompanied by a box of fish food. Monkey Costume Fan - Somewhat a throwback to the Gorilla Suit Guy in Series 3, this time we'll see a LEGO Minifigure dressed entirely as a brown monkey. The figure will likely include a brand-new monkey headpiece, along with a tail, and, unsurprisingly, a banana. Frog Costume Fan - Featuring a fun and very unique frog headpiece along with a bubble blower as an accessory. Hopefully, this character also includes a LEGO lilypad as a stand rather than the usual black display stands. Koala Costume Fan - A nod to Australia, this figure features a brand-new koala headpiece and comes with two accessories: a leafy branch piece and a boomerang. Dalmatian Costume Fan - The LEGO Disney theme have released a few 101 Dalmatian themed sets in 2025, and in 2026, we'll be getting a Minifigure dressed up as an adorable spotted dog. The figure will likely utilise the dog head piece from Series 21's Pug Costume Guy, along with an accessory of a blue frisbee. Crocodile Costume Fan - Another animal often found down under is a crocodile, which will also be translated into a LEGO Minifigure in January 2026. This character will include a very unique head piece, a long textured tail and two accessories of a rubber duck and a lifebuoy. Dolphin Costume Fan - The Dolphin Costume Fan will likely follow a similar style to Shark Suit Guy from Series 15, with the figure using a brand new moulded head piece that stretches along the back of the character. A clam shell is confirmed as the Minifigure's accessory. Bunny Costume Fan - Plenty of LEGO Minifigures dressed as bunnies have appeared in the past, so it'll be interesting to see how LEGO differentiates them all with Series 28's version. Either way, Bunny Costume Fan will likely utilise the standard rabbit/bunny headpiece and include an Easter themed accessory of an Easter egg and basket. Lion Costume Fan - The closest we've gotten to a LEGO Minifigure dressed as a lion is the Cowardly Lion, which featured in the LEGO Movie 2 series. This version, releasing in 2026, will likely utilise the same head mould but will overall be in more standard lion colours of yellow/red/dark brown. A single accessory of a chicken leg piece will also be included. Parrot Costume Fan - Last but not least, we have another very colourful and unique Minifigure of the Parrot Costume Fan. Another new headpiece with a large beak will likely feature here, along with an accessory of a printed parrot snack box. 71051 CMF Series 28: Animals Set Name - CMF Series 28: Animals Set Number - 71051 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - 8 Price - $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 Release Date - 1st January 2026 71051 CMF Series 28: Animals releases on the 1st of January 2026, but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71051 at the start of the new year? What Minifigure are you looking forward to getting the most from the first CMF series of 2026?
