The LEGO Friends theme has continued to grow further in popularity over recent years and this summer wave looks to appeal to an even wider group of brick builders. Already we've had a Winter 2024 wave of LEGO Friends and in just a few weeks time we'll be seeing a Summer 2024 wave - the second and final range of LEGO Friends sets in 2024. A total of 11 models will be releasing on the 1st of June 2024 once again covering the main eight characters/minidolls of the themes and TV series. The second biggest set of the wave might be lucky enough to have a full episode of the TV series dedicated to it with 42638 Castle Bed And Breakfast. The $99.99 set looks to be a completely new take on medieval castles in brick-built form by mixing it with a cosy bed and breakfast service. Another interesting mix of concepts will be the 4+ model of 42635 Dog Grooming Car. The younger targeted set will be taking a dog grooming service on the move allowing access to all the many different dog breeds in Heartlake City. Hopefully, a couple of rarer dog moulds are included here but that feels unlikely at a $9.99 price point. The other 4+ set of the Summer wave is 42636 Heartlake City Preschool which retails for $49.99 with 239 pieces. The last set that we'll go into detail here is the biggest set of the wave of 42631 Treehouse Camping Adventure which retails for $129.99 with 1,128 pieces. Many treehouses, small and large, have been seen in the LEGO Friends theme but this will be the biggest of them all and looks to be a camping haven. Plenty of minidolls should be included along with fun camping accessories and builds. 42618 Heartlake City Cafe Set Name - Heartlake City Cafe Set Number - 42618 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 426 Price - $29.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42622 Adventure Camp Archery Range Set Name - Adventure Camp Archery Range Set Number - 42622 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 157 Price - $14.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42623 Beach Jetski Set Name - Beach Jetski Set Number - 42623 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - 84 Price - $9.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42624 Cozy Campfire Cottages Set Name - Cozy Campfire Cottages Set Number - 42624 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 437 Price - $44.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42625 Beach Smoothie Stand Set Name - Beach Smoothie Stand Set Number - 42625 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 213 Price - $19.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42626 Adventure Camp Water Sports Set Name - Adventure Camp Water Sports Set Number - 42626 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 628 Price - $69.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42630 Heartlake City Water Park Set Name - Heartlake City Water Park Set Number - 42630 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 814 Price - $79.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42631 Treehouse Camping Adventure Set Name - Treehouse Camping Adventure Set Number - 42631 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 1,128 Price - $129.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42635 Dog Grooming Car Set Name - Dog Grooming Car Set Number - 42635 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 60 Price - $9.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42636 Heartlake City Preschool Set Name - Heartlake City Preschool Set Number - 42636 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 239 Price - $49.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 42638 Castle Bed And Breakfast Set Name - Castle Bed And Breakfast Set Number - 42638 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 1,311 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 Eleven sets from the LEGO Friends line will be releasing from the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think?

A theme which doesn't see many sets release every year but is still extremely popular amongst builders is the licensed LEGO Jurassic World theme. The LEGO theme based on the Jurassic Park franchise started back in 1993 has already seen a small wave of two sets release on the 1st of January 2024. These were 76963 Baby Dinosaur Rescue Center and 76964 Dinosaur Fossils: T. rex Skull. The summer wave of LEGO Jurassic World sets will see three more models all release beginning the 1st of June 2024. Our first of these three models is 76962 Bumpy The Ankylosaurus which, like the other two summer sets, is based on the upcoming Netflix series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. For $24.99 with 358 pieces, 76962 is basically a brick-built version of the popular Ankylosaurus called Bumpy. Then we have two bigger and more expensive sets of 76965 Stegosaurus Lookout and 76966 The T-Rex Trailer. 76965 retails for $64.99 with 420 pieces along with brand new sandy-coloured mould for a Stegosaurus dinosaur. $89.99 is the price tag for 76966 which makes it the most expensive LEGO Jurassic World set of 2024. 588 pieces are included to recreate a trailer build and dark blue/black moulded T-Rex. 76962 Bumpy The Ankylosaurus Set Name - Bumpy The Ankylosaurus Set Number - 76962 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 358 Price - $24.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76965 Stegosaurus Lookout Set Name - Stegosaurus Lookout Set Number - 76965 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 420 Price - $64.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76966 The T-Rex Trailer Set Name - The T-Rex Trailer Set Number - 76966 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 588 Price - $89.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 All three of these LEGO Jurassic World sets based on the new Jurassic World: Chaos Theory series releases on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? What's your favourite and least favourite set of the wave? Do you prefer brick-built dinosaurs or moulded elements? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

The latest set in LEGO's long line of Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series is finally here with 75382 TIE Interceptor. The 18+ model has been rumoured since last Summer but today LEGO has officially presented the set to coincide with the Danish toy company's Star Wars Day celebrations. 75382 will retail for $229.99 with a total of 1,931 pieces included once it releases in just a few weeks time on the 4th of May 2024. 75382 UCS TIE Interceptor revisits an older UCS set of 2000s 7181 TIE Interceptor. This set was one of the first LEGO UCS sets and so 2024s 39th ever UCS set is a whole lot different in many ways. Yet it still includes some of the most unique features of the TIE Interceptor such as it being one of the lightest, fastest and most responsive starfighters in the expansive Star Wars universe. 1,931 pieces are used to create the brick-built vehicle which measures over 40 cm long and mainly includes dark-coloured bricks of blacks and greys. The TIE Fighter's distinctive wings use plenty of larger pieces, creating stability and the ability to move/pose them as you wish. The LEGO designers have done extremely well to capture both the model's pointed wings and aggressive, speedy design. A detailed cockpit for the TIE Interceptor is also included with plenty of space for our singular Minifigure to sit. Here there are quite a few stickers to add to the electronic displays. Some elements of red are also included which can be seen by opening the hatch above which allows access to the cockpit. For that $229.99 price tag, only one Minifigure is included of an exclusive TIE Pilot who sits alongside a brick-built Mouse Droid on the black display stand. Similar to last year's May the Fourth UCS set, this allows the TIE Interceptor to be modelled and displayed in any way you wish alongside the two Star Wars characters and the printed display plaque. 75382 TIE Interceptor Set Name - TIE Interceptor Set Number - 75382 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,931 Price - $229.99 Release Date - 4th May 2024 75382 TIE Interceptor is this year's 18+ Star Wars Day model which releases on the 4th of May 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 75382 in just a few weeks time? Would you have preferred a couple more Minifigures to help with the high price? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

As with every year, LEGO will once again be celebrating Star Wars Day with a brand new wave of sets and a brand new D2C of 75382 TIE Interceptor. Along with a brand new 18+ model for the licensed theme, a brand new Gift With Purchase will also be releasing from the 1st of May 2024 in order to celebrate all these brand new releases. And after months of speculation, LEGO have finally officially presented the May 2024 GWP. In particular, this GWP is 40686 Trade Federation Troop Carrier which includes a total of 262 pieces available from the 1st of May 2024. Sadly, 40686 only lasts from the 1st of May 2024 until the 5th of May 2024 but will be free with any LEGO Star Wars purchases over the threshold of $160. The first Battle Droid Carrier in LEGO form released over 20 years ago back in 2001 of 7126 Battle Droid Carrier. 2024 is basically a tribute/remake of that original LEGO Star Wars set with 100 more pieces utilising the more modern and technical building techniques. This time as well, one more Minifigure will be included with six of the regular Battle Droids and two blue Battle Droid pilots. 40686 Trade Federation Troop Carrier GWP Set Name - Trade Federation Troop Carrier GWP Set Number - 40686 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 262 Price - GWP over $160 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40686 Battle Droid Carrier is this year's May The Fourth GWP with it releasing in just a few weeks time but what do you think? Are you looking forward to purchasing a new modern Battle Droid Carrier? What sets do you plan on picking up on the 4th of May 2024? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Just like 2023 saw two LEGO Star Wars Brickheadz release, 2024 will follow a similar pattern with two brand new sets branded under the LEGO Brickheadz theme. This time both sets will release as part of LEGO's Star Wars Day celebrations becoming available beginning the 1st of May 2024. The second of these to be officially revealed is 40676 The Phantom Menace which includes a total of six brick-built characters. The 10+ set is one of many celebrating 25 years since the release of Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and therefore, 25 years of LEGO Star Wars. 40676 will include a total of 732 pieces to build the six characters which will retail for a fair price of $54.99. We've known for time which characters are included in the May 2024 model but the official images have confirmed this and shown just how detailed each one is. These six characters are Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, Queen Amidala dressed in her signature red dress, Jar Jar Binks, Captain Panaka, and young Anakin Skywalker. The young Anakin Skywalker is obviously smaller than the other Brickheadz and is featured in his podracing outfit. 40676 The Phantom Menace Set Name - The Phantom Menace Set Number - 40676 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 732 Price - $54.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40676 The Phantom Menace is another May the Fourth LEGO set releasing in just a few weeks time but what do you think? Are you excited to be getting all of these six characters in LEGO Brickheadz form? Are there any characters you would add or change? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Another LEGO BrickHeadz rumour and it's another Disney-themed model to release alongside the previously rumoured 40749 Inside Out 2 BrickHeadz and 40752 Carl, Russell & Kevin. In particular, this third LEGO Disney BrickHeadz releasing on the 1st of June 2024 is 40753 Mirabel Madrigal which will retail for $9.99 with a total of 179 pieces for the singular brick-built character. Those of you who know your Disney film well will know that the 15-year-old girl Mirabel Madrigal is from the 2021 film Encanto. In 2024 already two Encanto-themed sets have released and a couple more will follow starting from the 1st of June 2024 including this singular LEGO BrickHeadz pack. Mirabel has already appeared as a minidoll so we can expect similar features to be translated into brick-built form for a price tag of $9.99. 40753 Mirabel Madrigal Set Name - Mirabel Madrigal Set Number - 40753 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 179 Price - $9.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 40753 Mirabel Madrigal is the fourth LEGO BrickHeadz set rumoured to be releasing on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 40753 in just over a months time? What other Encanto-themed sets would you like to see in 2024 and beyond? Let u know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

2024 marks 10 years since the first Minifigure scale LEGO Minecraft set released and the theme looks to be going all out this year. We've already had one wave release on the 1st of January 2024 but another big wave, along with a couple of single releases in August, September and October, on the 1st of June 2024 will feature six more brand new sets for the gaming theme. The first of these six sets sees the return of pirates in LEGO Minecraft form with 21259 The Pirate Ship Voyage. The last LEGO Minecraft pirate ship was the popular 21152 The Pirate Ship Adventure back in 2019. Even though 2024s 21259 is a lot smaller with only 166 pieces retailing for only $14.99, it's still a very welcomed set. So too is 21260 which sees the Cherry Blossom biome translated into brick-built form for the first time. The most creative models of the June 2024 wave have to be 21261 The Wolf Stronghold and 21262 The Windmill Adventure. Both LEGO Minecraft sets look to create brand new buildings which don't naturally spawn in game. For $39.99 21261 looks to be a cheap way to get plenty of wolves in LEGO form whether that be friendly or aggressive is yet to be seen. And 21262 will allow builders to add a lovely peaceful Windmill to their LEGO world. Then we have our final two sets of 21263 The Badlands Mineshaft and 21264 The Ender Dragon and End Ship. Both are the most expensive LEGO Minecraft models of the wave with 21264 in particular retailing for $89.99 for just 657 pieces. This suggests larger pieces may used to recreate the Ender Dragon and the End Ship with the latter of these two elements appearing in brick-built LEGO form for the first time ever. 21259 The Pirate Ship Voyage Set Name - The Pirate Ship Voyage Set Number - 21259 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 166 Price - $14.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 21260 The Cherry Blossom Garden Set Name - The Cherry Blossom Garden Set Number - 21260 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 304 Price - $19.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 21261 The Wolf Stronghold Set Name - The Wolf Stronghold Set Number - 21261 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 312 Price - $39.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 21262 The Windmill Adventure Set Name - The Windmill Adventure Set Number - 21262 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 462 Price - TBC Release Date - 1st June 2024 21263 The Badlands Mineshaft Set Name - The Badlands Mineshaft Set Number - 21263 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 538 Price - $59.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 21264 The Ender Dragon and End Ship Set Name - The Ender Dragon and End Ship Set Number - 21264 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 657 Price - $89.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 All six of these LEGO Minecraft sets launch on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Do you have a favourite and least favourite set of the wave? Are you looking forward to our first End Ship in LEGO Minecraft? Will any new mobs be added in this Summer wave?

As we continue to eagerly await for the release of the final few May 2024 LEGO Star Wars sets, already rumours are appearing for the following wave of Star Wars-themed models. A total of four sets are reportedly releasing on the 1st of June 2024 followed by an even bigger wave just a couple of months later on the 1st of August 2024. This June 2024 wave is a much more affordable, 'gimmick' like wave with all four sets under $40. The most expensive of all four is 75386 Paz Vizsla & Moff Gideon Battle which is based on the third season of The Mandalorian which released around a year ago. LEGO look to now be exploring less spoiler-friendly scenes from the popular TV show including the showdown between Paz Vizsla and the returning Moff Gideon. The brick-built scene takes on a small plate where builders can recreate the epic battle which took place in the final episode of season 3. Rumours suggest a door is included to slam shut and mimic Paz Vizsla's dramatic final stand. Paz Vizsla is of course included as a Minifigure along with Moff Gideon and two Praetorian Guards. Another Mandalorian Season 3-based set is a brand new LEGO Star Wars Battle Pack of 75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack. The $19.99 set includes a total of two Super Commandos, Koshka Reeves and Nite Owl Mandalorian and once again is based on the show's season 3 finale. The build will be a small rocky landscape most likely depicting the bunker in which the epic fight takes place between the Mandalorians and Moff Gideon. Moving away from Mandalorian-based sets, we have two 'gimmick' LEGO Star Wars June 2024 models. These are a brand new mech of 75390 Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech and a brand new $12.99 Microfighter of 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter. Both sets include just one Minifigure of Luck Skywalker and Captain Rex respectively. The Captain Rex Minifigure is the same as the one seen in 75367 Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser. 75373 Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack Set Name - Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack Set Number - 75373 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 109 Price - $19.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 75386 Paz Vizsla & Moff Gideon Battle Set Name - Paz Vizsla & Moff Gideon Battle Set Number - 75386 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 289 Price - $39.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 75390 Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech Set Name - Luke Skywalker X-Wing Mech Set Number - 75390 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 195 Price - $15.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 75391 Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter Set Name - Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter Set Number - 75391 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 99 Price - $12.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 All of these four LEGO Star Wars sets will be available from the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Which is your favourite and least favourite set? Are you looking forward to a range of exclusive Mandalorian Minifigures? And what's your opinion on the Microfighter and mech-based sets? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

2023 saw the release of our first ever LEGO set based on the Disney Pixar film 'UP' with the release of 43217 Carl's House From UP. Now over a year later in 2024, we'll be getting our second brick-built model based on UP with 40752 Carl, Russell & Kevin. The LEGO BrickHeadz set will release on the 1st of June 2024 with a total of 308 pieces retailing for $24.99. Carl and Russell can already be found as Minifigures in 2023s 43217 Carl's House From UP so will likely follow a similar design but in brick-built BrickHeadz form. Kevin meanwhile, who belongs to the bird species known as a Snipe, sadly hasn't appeared in LEGO form so will be making her brick-built debt in 40752. Her BrickHeadz character may be the most complicated yet at the same time, definitely the most colourful and interesting of the three. 40752 Carl, Russell & Kevin Set Name - Carl, Russell & Kevin Set Number - 40752 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 308 Price - $24.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 40752 Carl, Russell & Kevin releases on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 40752 in just over a month's time? What other LEGO Disney UP sets would you like to see in the future? What other characters do you want to see in brick-built LEGO BrickHeadz form? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Last year we saw the release of a giant 18+ LEGO Lord Of The Rings set along with a couple of BrickHeadz packs and now, in 2024, a similar trend will occur. On the 1st of June 2024, we'll be seeing the release of two LEGO Lord Of The Rings sets: the previously rumoured LEGO Icons model of 10333 The Lord Of The Rings: Barad-Dûr and now a LEGO BrickHeadz set of 40751 Legolas & Gimli. Legolas is a Sindar Elf of the Woodland Realm and the son of its king, Thranduil. Meanwhile, our other character, Gimli, is a dwarf warrior and a member of Thorin's company. Both have appeared in LEGO form before as Minifigures most recently in last year's D2C of 10316 The Lord Of The Rings: Rivendell. Now both of these characters will be appearing in brick-built BrickHeadz form from the 1st of June 2024. The double BrickHeadz pack will retail for the usual price of $19.99 with a total of 297 pieces. Gimli is likely to include his Viking-like appearance with his long ginger beard, his decorated helmet and some axes. Meanwhile, the elf Legolas will obviously include elf ears amongst his long blonde hair along with a bow and arrow as an accessory. 40751 Legolas & Gimli Set Name - Legolas & Gimli Set Number - 40751 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 297 Price - $19.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 40751 Legolas & Gimli becomes our fourth LEGO Lord of the Rings BrickHeadz once it releases on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 40751 Legolas & Gimli? What other Lord Of The Rings characters would you like to see in LEGO BrickHeadz form? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

About a week ago we saw official images of our LEGO Inside Out 2 set and a month after that release we'll be getting another. 43248 Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes releases on the 1st of May 2024 debuting Joy and Anxiety as our first Inside Out 2 characters. Sadly these are minidolls rather than Minifigure and the second Inside Out 2 set of 2024 still doesn't include any Minifigures. But this is because it is a brand new LEGO Disney BrickHeadz pack of 40749 Inside Out 2. 40749 releases on the 1st of June 2024 as a three-pack BrickHeadz model with the emotions of Joy, Sadness and Anxiety all included in this brick-built form. Together, they will retail for $24.99 with 300 pieces used to recreate the three emotions. Anxiety will likely be a smaller size explaining that $25 price tag and Sadness may also be a couple of studs smaller. 40749 Inside Out 2 BrickHeadz Set Name - Inside Out 2 BrickHeadz Set Number - 40749 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 300 Price - $24.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024

Two waves of LEGO NINJAGO sets have already hit shelves in 2024 but our ninjas will be debuting new models once again in just over a months time. On the 1st of June 2024, we'll be getting our third and final LEGO NINJAGO wave of 2024 consisting of six brand new sets including our first and only LEGO NINJAGO D2C of the year. Last year, 71799 LEGO NINJAGO City Markets released as the themes biggest ever D2C and therefore its biggest ever set. But in 2024 LEGO will be moving away from the subtheme of LEGO NINJAGO City D2Cs and will instead be releasing 71814 Tournament Temple City. The $249.99 set with 3,489 pieces looks to be similar to 2015s 70751 Temple of Airjitzu with a dark blue temple being the main build of the 14+ model. Another big model of the wave is 71822 Fire Source Dragon which will retail for $149.99 with a total of 1,716 pieces. The Summer 2024 model looks set to break records as the biggest LEGO dragon ever which is coloured mainly red along with a few hints of orange, yellow and black. A total of six Minifigures are also included with the mighty dragon including an unknown new villain Minifigure. From the biggest set of the wave to the smallest set of the wave of 71816 Zane's Ice Motorbike. For 84 pieces, the summer set will retail for $9.99 with the main and only building being a motorbike with ice blades. Another standard LEGO NINJAGO set is of course a brand new mech of 71821 Cole's Titanium Dragon Mech. It will retail for $99.99 with 1,105 pieces making it the biggest mech in LEGO NINJAGO history! Finally, that leaves us with two more sets: 71818 Tournament Arena Battle and 71820 Combo Ninja Vehicle. The former of these could be the most appealing set of the wave with 659 pieces and six Minifigures for only $49.99. Sadly the same can't be said for 71820 which includes 576 pieces for $89.99 to recreate a range of different vehicles for all the ninjas. 71814 Tournament Temple City Set Name - Tournament Temple City Set Number - 71814 Age Range - 14+ Piece Count - 3,489 Price - $249.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 71816 Zane's Ice Motorbike Set Name - Zane's Ice Motorbike Set Number - 71816 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 84 Price - $9.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 71818 Tournament Arena Battle Set Name - Tournament Arena Battle Set Number - 71818 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 659 Price - $49.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 71820 Combo Ninja Vehicle Set Name - Combo Ninja Vehicle Set Number - 71820 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 576 Price - $89.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 71821 Cole's Titanium Dragon Mech Set Name - Cole's Titanium Dragon Mech Set Number - 71821 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 1,055 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 71822 Fire Source Dragon Set Name - Fire Source Dragon Set Number - 71822 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 1,716 Price - $149.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 All six of these LEGO NINJAGO sets release on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? What's your favourite and least favourite set of the wave? What do you think of the biggest dragon and mech in LEGO NINJAGO history? And finally, what do you make of this year's D2C model?

LEGO's latest new theme is edging ever closer to release as our first LEGO Despicable Me 4 set has been officially revealed today. It's been reported for a couple of months now that LEGO Despicable Me 4 will be joining the brick-built world of LEGO in 2024 along with other new licenses such as Animal Crossing and Dungeons & Dragons. And today one of four sets launching on the 1st of May 2024 has been presented to us. Our first official LEGO Despicable Me 4 set is the smallest of the wave of 75580 Minions and Banana Car. The 6+ model will retail for $24.99 with 136 pieces. As we expected, the cheapest set of the wave is a fairly lacklustre build, heavily influenced by bigger pieces and moulds along with plenty of exclusive Minifigures/characters. A couple of these bigger pieces and moulds are used to create the top and bottom of the banana-shaped vehicle. These elements are the only areas of the banana car that are yellow with the rest being fully open allowing a Minion to drive the car. Four regular-sized wheels are included on the banana car along with a highly powerful brick-built engine directly in front of the driver's seat. As we already mentioned, 75580 Minions and Banana Car is controlled by a singular Minion but in total four Minions are included in the May 2024 model. These Minions are AVL Tim, Pit Crew Ron, Mega Minion Dave and Mel which are all exclusive to 75580. Even though the Despicable Me 4 set only includes 136 pieces for a high retail price of $25, four exclusive Minifigures make this set much more appealing. 75580 Minions and Banana Car Set Name - Minions and Banana Car Set Number - 75580 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 136 Price - $24.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 75580 Banana Car is the cheapest LEGO Despicable Me 4 set once the theme launches on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Do you like this wacky banana-shaped vehicle? Will you be buying this set or is it too expensive? What do you think of the four exclusive Minions included in 75580?

We've already seen the release of one buildable Star Wars character of 75379 R2-D2 in 2024 but another one has been officially revealed for a release next month. In particular, this is a brand-new brick-built version of a Droideka, releasing to celebrate 25 years of both LEGO Star Wars and Episode 1: The Phantom Menace. The latest set to be based on the prequel trilogy will retail for $64.99 with a total of 583 pieces. Earlier we mentioned how a buildable version of R2-D2 has already been revealed for a March 2024 release. However, unlike 75379 R2-D2, 75381 Droideka is aimed at an older audience with an age rating of 18+. This is further reflected by the black box art which we've become accustomed to in recent years and a display stand with a printed information plaque. The destroyer droids were used during the Invasion of Naboo and will finally be returning to brick-built LEGO form on the 1st of May 2024. The last set of a standalone LEGO Droideka was 2000s LEGO Technic set of 8002 Destroyer Droid but 2024s version is much more brick-built using more standard LEGO pieces. However, some LEGO Technic pieces are still required in order to create the Droids compacted ball mode. The main play feature of the brick-built LEGO Droideka is its ability to roll up and activate ball mode. This is all done by moving the droid's legs and body so that its in a much more compact (and somewhat deadly) mode. Finally, we will be getting a Minifigure scale version of a Droideka which is an exclusive build even if it's somewhat lacklustre and not the best version we've had so far. 75381 Droideka Set Name - Droideka Set Number - 75381 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 583 Price - $64.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 75381 Buildable Droideka is one of many sets releasing on the 1st of May 2024 for the usual Star Wars Day celebrations but what do you think? Are you happy to be getting a brick-built version of the destroyer droid? What other features would want LEGO to include? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

2024 marks 25 years since the release of Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace but also 25 years of the LEGO Star Wars theme. Both anniversaries are huge for a franchise that continues to grow and grow so it's no surprise that celebrations for both occasions will be taking place throughout 2024. And the first of these is our first ever LEGO Star Wars 18+ Diorama to be based on one of the prequel films. In particular, it's the previously rumoured 75380 Mos Espa Podrace Diorama which will retail for $79.99 with 718 pieces. Our first-ever prequel diorama is based on the Phantom Menace and in particular an iconic scene: young Anakin podracing. The brick-built display model captures Anakin and Sebulba’s podracers flying through Arch Canyon as they battle it out to win the race and Anakin to be free from slavery. In 75380 we're seeing the podrace on Tatooine in brick-built LEGO action. Plenty of Tatooine's scenery and desert-like backdrop are seen along with the Arch Canyon which all 18 podracers fly through. However, only two of the 18 podracers are included in microscale form in this LEGO Star Wars diorama. These are Anakin and Sebulda which can be seen battling it out to finish first in one of Star Wars' biggest races. With 75380 Boonta Eve Podrace Diorama being microscale, no Minifigures are included and sadly neither are any microfigures of young Anakin for example. But either way, the set is still a must-buy with Tatooine captured perfectly as a display model, blending in well with the colourful creations of the podracers. All of this and more is then on the classic LEGO Star Wars 18+ Diorama black base with the 25 Years of LEGO Star Wars printed piece. 75380 Mos Espa Podrace Diorama Set Name - Mos Espa Podrace Diorama Set Number - 75380 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 718 Price - $79.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 75380 Mos Espa Podrace Diorama is one of many LEGO Star Wars sets releasing on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing our first prequel diorama? Is there anything you would add to the display set? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.
