2024 has been the year of LEGO and Space but one theme has been missing any intergalactic themed models. This is the 18+ LEGO Icons theme which has seen plenty of NASA-branded models in recent years and will see another one release on the 15th of May 2024. The last NASA-themed LEGO Icons model released back in 2021 of 10283 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery so it's nice to see this partnership be rekindled. This 2024 LEGO Icons NASA set will be entitled Artemis One Rocket & Launchpad and comes under the Icons set number of 10341. The Artemis One Rocket is a part of NASAs most recent trips to the moon which, is unsurprising, called the Artemis Program. The project was successfully tested with an unmanned flight back in November 2022 and will now be appearing in brick-built LEGO form in less than two months time. The rocket of the Artemis One mission consists of a heavy launch vehicle and the Orion spacecraft at its top, which is intended to take the astronauts to the moon and back again. These details will be replicated in the LEGO version which will also include a detailed launchpad to add further value to the 18+ set which will retail for $259.99. 10341 also includes 3,601 pieces for this $260 price point making it the biggest LEGO NASA-themed Space set yet. However, with both a rocket and a launchpad included, 10341 may not include the biggest LEGO rocket so far. Either way, we can expect an extremely detailed display model, further expanding our range of Space-themed LEGO sets in 2024. 10341 Artemis One Rocket & Launchpad Set Name - Artemis One Rocket & Launchpad Set Number - 10341 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,601 Price - $259.99 Release Date - 15th May 2024 10341 Artemis One Rocket & Launchpad launches on the 15th of May 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10341 once it releases? Are you happy to see LEGO NASA-themed sets back in 2024? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

As we get ever and ever closer to May that means a brand new wave of LEGO Star Wars sets. And we're lucky enough to already have our first leaked images of one of five brand new LEGO Star Wars models releasing on the 1st of May 2024 to celebrate Star Wars Day just a few days later on the 4th of May 2024. The set that leaked online today is the previously rumoured 75378 BARC Speeder Escape which is based on the third season of The Mandalorian. Even though the series of episodes launched in the first half of last year, LEGO looks to now be exploring less spoiler-friendly scenes from the popular show. And this includes the flashback scene where Grogu, with the help of the Jedi Kelleran Beq, escape from the Jedi Temple. That's the main basis of 75378 which includes a total of 221 pieces retailing for $29.99. A high price tag but that's due to a large number of Minifigures included. In total 75378 includes four Minifigures of Grogu along with an exclusive Jedi Kelleran Beq with a lightsaber and two 501st Legion Clone Troopers each with a blaster. Along with an exciting lineup of Minifigures, we of course have the main build of the set which is the BARC Speeder used to escape the Jedi Temple. Due to only 221 pieces included in 75378, this isn't a larger build but it is sufficient enough to create a nice-looking BARC Speeder. It's coloured mainly red and white for the sidecar for Grogu also included as a nice and very accurate touch. 75378 BARC Speeder Escape Set Name - BARC Speeder Escape Set Number - 75378 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 221 Price - $29.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 75378 BARC Speeder Escape releases just in time for Star Wars Day on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Are you excited for another Mandalorian Season Three set? Has the leaked image encouraged you to buy an overpriced Star Wars model? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

It feels quite a while since we last covered the latest news on the next LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series but that's because the second series of 2024 leaked late last year. Even before 71045 Series 25 hit shelves we already had leaked images of the next LEGO Minifigures series which was scheduled to be released four months later. But as that release date edges ever closer we now have more leaked images... The second CMF series of 2024 that we're discussing is the previously rumoured 71046 Series 26. But the collectable LEGO isn't just the 26th numbered series, it's an entire series based on LEGO's recent exploration into Space. The series will include a range of colourful classic Spacemen or Space-themed Minifigures from past LEGO Space themes along with a mix of new ones once it releases on the 1st of May 2024. A ton of references to LEGO Classic  Space, including a Classic  Space robot, a retro Spacewoman, an M-Tron redux, an Ice Planet redux accompanied by a Space Penguin, and a mutated Blacktron are included in the series. Alongside these are more modern figures such as an alien in a UFO costume, a grey alien tourist, an alien insectoid, a modern astronaut character, an Orion Minifigure and a Space Nurse. List of Minifigures Modern Female Astronaut Robot human suit for tiny aliens Grey Alien Tourist Retro Spacewoman with Dog (female version of Series 17 space Minifigure) M-Tron Redux Space Nurse with Pink Space Baby Green Alien in a UFO costume Ice Planet Redux with Space Penguin Classic Space Robot Alien Insectoid Orian with translucent Minifigure elements and accessories Mutated BlackTron with three arms The Packaging & Checklist The second Minifigure series of 2024 coincides with LEGO's recent push for Space in 2024 with plenty of branding on a range of sets in many different themes. That Space branding is further exemplified here in 71046. The continuation of the blind boxes sees eight of the twelve Minifigures represented with a beautiful purple background behind all of the exclusive figures. A slash of grey with the classic space logo can also be seen on the box. The unique purple for a CMF series continues on the checklist where a couple of hints of pink are also included. The aim of the purple and pink is to create a mystical galaxy far away from our own Milky Way. A small Series 26 logo can be seen in the top right of the checklist along with the twelve to collect sign which has become the norm over the last couple of years. 71046 Series 26 Space Set Name - Series 26 Space Set Number - 71046 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - 8 Price - $4.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 71046 Series 26 Space releases on the 1st of May 2024 with a reveal just a few weeks or even days away but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71046 Series 26 Space? What's your favourite and least favourite Minifigure of the series? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. Leaked images: Reddit

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 is 40676 The Phantom Menace Figures 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. Thanks to Brick Clicker on YouTube we already know exactly which six characters will be included in the May 2024 model. These 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 explaining why the set costs $54.99, but he still includes his podracing outfit. 40676 The Phantom Menace Figures Set Name - The Phantom Menace Figures Set Number - 40676 Ages - 10+ Piece Count - 732 Price - $54.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40676 The Phantom Menace Figures is another May the Fourth LEGO set releasing in just under two months 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 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 first of these is the single pack of 40675 Clone Commander Cody. Clone Commander Cody is an extremely popular character in the Star Wars universe having been the leader of clones to fight alongside Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi. He's been an extremely popular character amongst LEGO fans with his most recent appearance as a Minifigure being in 75337 AT-TE Walker. Clone Commander Cody has also appeared as an 18+ brick-built helmet but the latest version of the clone leader will be as a LEGO Brickheadz. 147 pieces will be used to recreate this character in brick-built form. Obvious inclusions will be his white and orange clone suit along with his unique helmet with the orange visor. It's also likely that for $9.99 he includes an accessory of his blaster for example. 40675 Clone Commander Cody Set Name - Clone Commander Cody Set Number - 40675 Ages - 10+ Piece Count - 147 Price - $9.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40675 Clone Commander Cody is another May the Fourth LEGO set releasing in just under two months time but what do you think? Are you happy to be getting Clone Commander Cody in LEGO Brickheadz form? What other Star Wars characters would you want to see as brick-built? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

2024 marks 25 years of the LEGO Star Wars theme and we've already seen two exclusive Minifigures revealed to coincide with celebrations. These are ARC Trooper Fives in 75387 Boarding the Tantive IV and then Darth Malek in 75379 R2-D2 which both become available starting the 1st of March 2024. But just two months later we'll be getting our third of five LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary Minifigure. This will be a Veteran of the Clone Wars and a popular character who appeared in the spin-off movie Rogue One, Saw Gerrera. He will become fully exclusive like the other two Minifigures and stand on an exclusive LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary printed piece. The Minifigure of Saw Gerrera includes Finn's hair piece from the Rise of Skywalker along with a cape and a couple of armour pieces. The LEGO Star Wars set that this exclusive Saw Gerrera will appear in is 75383 Sith Infiltrator which will retail for $69.99 with a total of 640 pieces. The Sith Infiltrator is a heavily modified version of a Star Courier and the personal starship of Darth Maul. The starship was last seen in brick-built LEGO form in 2015 with 75096 Stih Infiltrator which retailed for $89.99 with only 662 pieces. Clearly, 75383 is cheaper and slightly smaller than 2015's 75096 but this may be due to it including less of the larger front wing pieces that were used in 75096. LEGO have already given us a tease of the build which shows it to be slightly smaller than 75096 but not by a considerable amount. The main difference is the smaller distance between the front of the ship and the first landing foot, but this may indicate more details at the rear. Moving away from the build, we've not done with the Minifigure lineup just yet. Along with an exclusive Saw Gerrera as the 25th Anniversary Minifigure, we'll also be getting Qui-Gon Jinn, Padme Amidala, Captain Panaka and of course, Darth Maul who comes with a red lightsaber. A couple of other accessories may also be included but don't expect much when most of the 640 pieces will be used to recreate the Sith Infiltrator. 75383 Sith Infiltrator Set Name - Sith Infiltrator Set Number - 75383 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 640 Price - $69.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 So 75383 Sith Infiltrator becomes the third set to include an exclusive 25th Anniversary Minifigure once it releases on 1st May 2024 but what do you think? Are you happy with Saw Gerrera being the exclusive Minifigure? Would you want a bigger yet more expensive Sith Infiltrator? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The LEGO Icons theme produces a range of sets each year ranging from one-off licenses and vehicles to iconic brick-built buildings and vehicles. The popular 18+ theme isn't done there though as LEGO look to be introducing some music-themed sets into their collection of models aimed at adults. In particular, the LEGO Icons set of 10334 has been given the temporary name of 'Music' hinting at acoustic and melody brick-building fun. The LEGO Ideas theme has seen plenty of music-themed sets over the years including 21323 Grand Piano, 21329 Fender Stratocaster and 21334 Jazz Quartet. The most recent of these of 21334 was received extremely well as the 18+ model tackled Jazz in a fun and affordable fashion. Sadly, 10334 isn't as affordable as these models in terms of its price-per-piece ratio as it will retail for $109.99 with only 906 pieces. This may be because a license is involved, hicking up the price just like 21329 Fender Stratocaster did. Alternatively, a lot of larger pieces and moulds which are more expensive to produce may be included to create a buildable drum or another playable instrument for example. 10334 Music Set Name - Music Set Number - 10341 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 906 Price - $109.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 There are plenty of exciting possibilities with 10334 Music and we're likely to get more information in the next month or so as it releases on the 1st of June 2024. But what do you think 10334 will be? Does the high price-per-piece ratio put you off? What LEGO music sets do you already have in your collection? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

As summer quickly approaches so does another wave of LEGO City sets after another action-packed start to the year for the homegrown LEGO theme. On the 1st of January 2024 a total of 25 brand new sets became available covering police, fire rescue, plenty of vehicles and, of course, space. These space-themed sets have continued with another one releasing on the 1st of April 2024 and the 1st of May 2024. But let's head back to June and back on the ground as this year's Summer LEGO City wave explores the depths of the Jungle. A total of four sets of 60424, 60425, 60426 and 60437 will be based in different rainforest regions. Across these four sets we'll see a range of new and returning LEGO animal moulds including red pandas, adult and baby gorillas, crocodiles and much more. We'll even see the Johnny Thunder Minifigure return! The other eight sets releasing on the 1st of June 2024 are the usual mix of vehicles, construction-based models and any other random sets the LEGO designers are able to creatively make. One that stands out though is 60421 Robot World Roller Coaster Park which looks to be an exciting roller coaster-themed build. Reports claim a gaming zone and a DJ booth are amongst the many cool features of the $79.99 model. The two biggest sets of this Summer wave for LEGO City are 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane and 60422 Seaside Harbour with Cargo Ship. Both will retail for $109.99 but 60422 includes the most amount of pieces at 1,226. Most of these will be used to create an orange, green and white cargo ship alongside a brick-built port which includes the likes of a working crane, an ice cream stand and a seafood restaurant. 60407 Red Double Decker Bus Set Name - Red Double Decker Bus Set Number - 60407 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 384 Price - $29.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60408 Tow Truck with Sports Car Set Name - Tow Truck with Sports Car Set Number - 60408 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 998 Price - $79.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60409 Yellow Mobile Construction Crane Set Name - Yellow Mobile Construction Crane Set Number - 60409 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 1,116 Price - $109.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60420 Yellow Construction Excavator Set Name - Yellow Construction Excavator Set Number - 60420 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 633 Price - $49.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60421 Robot World Roller Coaster Park Set Name - Robot World Roller Coaster Park Set Number - 60421 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 986 Price - $79.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60422 Seaside Harbour with Cargo Ship Set Name - Seaside Harbour with Cargo Ship Set Number - 60422 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 1,226 Price - $109.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60424 Jungle Explorer ATV: Red Panda Mission Set Name - Jungle Explorer ATV: Red Panda Mission Set Number - 60424 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 92 Price - $9.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60425 Jungle Explorer Water Plane Set Name - Jungle Explorer Water Plane Set Number - 60425 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 177 Price - $19.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60426 Jungle Explorer Off-Road Vehicle Set Name - Jungle Explorer Off-Road Vehicle Set Number - 60426 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 314 Price - $29.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60435 Tow Truck and Sports Car Repair Set Name - Tow Truck and Sports Car Repair Set Number - 60435 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 101 Price - $24.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60437 Jungle Explorer Helicopter at Base Camp Set Name - Jungle Explorer Helicopter at Base Camp Set Number - 60437 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 881 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 60440 Yellow Delivery Truck Set Name - Yellow Delivery Truck Set Number - 60440 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 1,061 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 All 12 of these LEGO City sets release on the 1st of June 2024, further expanding the theme's exciting 2024 lineup but what do you think? Whats your favourite and least favourite set of the wave? Are you looking forward to the return of LEGO City Jungle-themed sets? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Along with the LEGO Spring set and LEGO Children's Day set, April 2024 will also see the LEGO Achievement set released as a promotional item. All three models will be exclusive for a short period throughout April and possibly extending into May. The final one of these, the LEGO Achievement set of 40688 Trophy Award, is the Gift With Purchase we'll be covering today. The promotional model tagged the LEGO Achievement set includes a total of 157 pieces indicating a small threshold for a small GWP. The set itself is unsurprisingly a brick-built trophy, mainly coloured gold with a small red stand at the bottom matching the red and green seen as a ribbon on the trophy build itself. A lot of larger parts are used making the design look very simple and clunky. However, the LEGO designers have included an element of customization. At the top of the trophy is a round 4x2 tile which can either say champion, #1friend, #1mum, #1dad, well done and many more messages of encouragement. A 2x2 tile is then placed at the bottom of the trophy displaying either a 1 or the outline of a game controler. Again, the builder can take control and decide how the brick-built trophy is designed. 40688 Trophy Award GWP Set Name - Trophy Award GWP Set Number - 40688 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 157 Price - TBC GWP Release Date - April 2024 40688 Trophy Award is the latest promotional set coming in April 2024 but what do you think? Is this the worst GWP of 2024 so far? What do you think the threshold will be to qualify for 40688? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

International Children's Day is one of many occasions in which LEGO enjoy celebrating and that will be no different in 2024. Last year we saw the release of the promotional model of 40589 Pirate Ship Playground and in 2024 we'll be seeing another exclusive Gift With Purchase of 40685 Water Park. Children's Day is set to take place on Sunday the 12th of May 2024 but according to Instagram user fateful_lego and recent leaks online, the GWP will be making an appearance as early as April. From that initial date in April, 40685 will last two to three weeks, available with purchases online and in-store over a currently unknown threshold. The set itself includes a total of 132 pieces to create a brick-built water park suitable for Minifigures. In fact, 40685 includes a total of two young Minifigures. Both seem to be having plenty of fun getting soaked from all the fun activities included in the small LEGO Water Park. 40685 includes two slides for the Minifigures to slide down into the pool below. One of these is built the usual slide piece whilst the other uses a ramp, often seen in the LEGO City Stuntz subtheme. Both are coloured orange and yellow with the latter of the two also including a brick-built barrel with 1x1 round tiles which pour out of it just like water. A pink flag is also included next to the barrel. The other slide is attached to a white frame which includes a small grey ladder for the Minifigures to access it. Underneath this structure, more water comes pouring down along with two taps: one for hot and the other for cold water. All of this, along with the end of each slide, leads into the big pool which covers a 16 to 18-stud-wide blue plate. A brick-built pink diving board is also included as another way for our two Minifigures to splash around. A couple of side builds are the last additions of the build of some sunscreen and a life-saving ring coloured lime green and white. 40685 Water Park GWP Set Name - Water Park GWP Set Number - 40685 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 132 Price - TBC GWP Release Date - April 2024 40685 Water Park will become available as a GWP sometime in April but what do you think? Will you be looking to pick this promotional item up? What other builds would you add to the water park? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

We're only a couple of days away from the start of April and a brand new month means a brand new range of Gift With Purchases. One of these is this year's Spring GWP of 40683 Flower Trellis Display which has been officially revealed today. The set for the new season will be available both in-store and online when you spend over a certain threshold of $150 from the 1st of April 2024. As you can guess from the name, this 2024 GWP continues with the recent popularity of LEGO and flowers, particularly from the LEGO Icons Botanical Collection line. This time though, 40683 is more of a kid-friendly display piece with a flat brick-built structure of the Trellis used to support a wonderful and colourful selection of brick-built plants. The 440 pieces included in 40683 make up one big bright yellow flower, two smaller flowers in purple and a long leafy line of flowers which explores the whole of the Trellis display. Here we see some hints of orange, blue and light green to further add to this colourful display. These brick-built flowers make use of lots of different pieces, particularly LEGO pieces 32192 and 10288, to create the curvature and design of the flowers. 2024's LEGO Spring GWP will be released on the 1st of April 2024 and last for two weeks until the 14th of April 2024. 40683 Flower Trellis Display will be available with any purchases over $150 which, even though it sounds expensive, is no surprise for a GWP with over 400 pieces. A couple more GWPs will also be releasing throughout April so keep an eye out on the Bricks Up website for those promotional models. 40683 Flower Trellis Display GWP Set Name - Flower Trellis Display GWP Set Number - 40683 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 440 Price - GWP over $150 Release Date - 1st to 14th April 2024 40683 Flower Trellis Display GWP will first become available in just a few days time beginning on the 1st of April 2024 but what do you think? Is 40683 another brick-built flower arrangement to add to your display? Or is the threshold a bit too high? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

May 15th looks to be LEGO Space Day as two brand new Space-themed models will be added to the ever-growing list of LEGO Space sets in 2024. Both of these sets of 10341 Artemis One Rocket & Launchpad and 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy we've covered here before at Bricks Up but thanks to YouTuber Brick Clicker we have further information on the latter of these two 18+ models. 31212 becomes the second LEGO Art set of 2024 after 31211 Macaw Parrots released almost four months ago on the 1st of January 2024. However, 31212 moves away from animals and nature and heads to space and intergalactic missions with a brick-built artistic view of the Milky Way Galaxy. Once it releases on the 15th of May 2024 it'll become the biggest LEGO Art set of the year retailing for $199.99 with a total of 3,091 pieces. In recent years, LEGO has moved away from the original LEGO Art sets which included 1,000s of just 1x1 studs on a hangable plate. Instead, we see these 18+ models mix both 1x1 studs with ordinary LEGO pieces like in Januarys 31211 Macaw Parrots and 2023s 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave. Even with 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy having such a high piece count of 3,091, it's reported that the 18+ model will also move away from just 1x1 studs. Instead, the May 2024 set will be similar to last year's 31209 The Amazing Spider-Man. It will use a mixture of bricks, plates and studs to create a captivating model of our Milky Way Galaxy in brick-built LEGO form. 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy Set Name - The Milky Way Galaxy Set Number - 31212 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,091 Price - $199.99 Release Date - 15th May 2024 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy releases on the 15th of May 2024 but what do you think? Will you be buying an amazing brick-built display model of the Milky Way Galaxy to hang on your LEGO wall? What other LEGO Art sets would you like to see in 2024? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

After 31211 Macaw Parrots released in January, the LEGO Art theme will finally see the release of its second model of 2024 on the 1st of May 2024. In particular, this brand new brick-built set is 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy which will retail for $199.99 with a total of 3,091 pieces. The 18+ branded theme will move from animals and nature in January to intergalactic missions with a brick-built artistic view of the Milky Way Galaxy. In recent years, LEGO has moved away from the original LEGO Art sets which included 1,000s of just 1x1 studs on a hangable plate. Instead, we see these 18+ models mix both 1x1 studs with ordinary LEGO pieces like in Januarys 31211 Macaw Parrots and 2023s 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave. 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy could follow either but with such a high piece count of 3,091, it's more likely we see 1x1 studs, or smaller bricks included, to recreate the Milky Way Galaxy in LEGO form. Such a high piece count could also signify alternative builds and options to redesign the brick-built creation of the Milky Way Galaxy however you may wish. An even better inclusion would be a couple of glow-in-the-dark and translucent elements to really make the galaxy pop and feel alive as it would do in the dark depths of space. And this would look fantastic when it's hung up just like the rest of the LEGO Art sets can. 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy Set Name - The Milky Way Galaxy Set Number - 31212 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,091 Price - $199.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy releases on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Will you be buying a brick-built Milky Way Galaxy to hang on your wall? What other LEGO Art sets would you like to see in 2024? Let us know in the comments below.

Since its rebirth in 2018, the LEGO Harry Potter theme has become a staple license amongst many properties which LEGO works with. The line of sets has continued to expand over the last couple of years seeing two waves of LEGO Harry Potter models released each year. The same occurred this year with March 2024s wave of LEGO Harry Potter being the biggest 1st half of the year wave yet for the theme. June will follow the March mayhem with another seven brand-new sets for the magical theme. Two more sets will then also release in September under the Harry Potter line. These are the yearly advent calendar of 76438 and the second 18+ D2C of the year for LEGO Harry Potter. In particular, this is 76437 The Burrow which, along with 2024's advent calendar, will be covered in a separate article. The LEGO Harry Potter theme has seen plenty of brick-built characters over the years and that line of models will be further expanding from the 1st of June 2024. This time we'll be seeing the Hippogriff of Buckbeak and the magical plant of a Mandrake translated into brick built form under 76427 and 76433 respectively. Both will retail for $59.99 even though 76427 Buckbeak The Hippogriff has around 150 pieces more. Another classic LEGO Harry Potter model is the Hogwarts expansion sets and June will see another two release as LEGO expands into a new, bigger and better modular system for the LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts sets. 76431 will see the most complete interpretation of the Potions Class in LEGO brick-built form whilst 76435 will be our biggest-ever Hogwarts Great Hall retailing for a whopping $219.99. The smallest model of the wave is another expansion to the recent forbidden forest sets. This is 76434 Aragog in the Forbidden Forest which will retail for $14.99 with a total of 195 pieces. Another addition to another expansion is 76439 which adds Ollivanders & Madam Malkin's Robes to the brick-built Diagon Alley selection. A total of 26 wands are said to be included in Ollivanders along with plenty of fashionable items from Madam Malkin. Last but not least is a long-awaited model of 76440 Triwizard Tournament: The Arrival. The June 2024 set based on the fourth film includes both the Durmstrang Ship & Beauxbatons Carriage for $139.99. Reports claim the set may remain exclusive to LEGO but either way its likely to be a popular Summer 2024 set. The Beauxbatons Carriage last appeared in LEGO form in 2019 but the Durmstrang Ship was even longer - 19 years ago! 76427 Buckbeak The Hippogriff Set Name - Buckbeak The Hippogriff Set Number - 76427 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 723 Price - $59.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76431 Hogwarts Castle Potions Castle Set Name - Hogwarts Castle Potions Castle Set Number - 76431 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 397 Price - $37.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76433 Mandrake Set Name - Mandrake Set Number - 76433 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 579 Price - $59.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76434 Aragog in the Forbidden Forest Set Name - Aragog in the Forbidden Forest Set Number - 76434 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 195 Price - $14.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76435 Hogwarts Castle Great Hall Set Name - Hogwarts Castle Great Hall Set Number - 76435 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 1,732 Price - $219.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76439 Diagon Alley: Ollivanders & Madam Malkin's Robes Set Name - Diagon Alley: Ollivanders & Madam Malkin's Robes Set Number - 76439 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 1,744 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 76440 Triwizard Tournament: The Arrival Set Name - Triwizard Tournament: The Arrival Set Number - 76440 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 1,229 Price - $139.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 Another exciting wave of seven brand new LEGO Harry Potter sets release on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think?

A third and final wave of LEGO Creator 3in1 sets will, amongst many sets, be released on the 1st of June 2024. January 2024 saw a range of brick-built models from animals and mystical creatures to real-life objects such as cameras and roller skates. This was then followed by only two sets in March of 31154 Forest Animals: Red Fox and 31158 Sea Animals. June's wave of LEGO Creator 3in1 models will unfortunately follow the same trend with only two brand new sets being released. These are 31151 Terrifying T-Rex and 31153 Modern Beach House. The latter of these we'll be covering in today's article of 31153 Modern Beach House which will retail for $109.99 with a total of 939 pieces. Those 939 pieces at that $110 price point will make 31153 easily the biggest and most expensive LEGO Creator 3in1 set of 2024, surpassing Januarys 31150 Wild Safari Animals which included 780 pieces for $64.99. 31153 Modern Beach House will also become the first Minifigure scale Creator 3in1 model of 2024 with January and March featuring only brick built models. It's been a trend in recent years to see the Summer wave of LEGO Creator 3in1 heavily focus on Minifigures and so its no surprise that 31153 will be a brick built version of a modern Beach House perfect for our favourite yellow people. Around four to six Minifigures can be expected in 31153 with the main focus of the $110 set being the build itself which will likely be a fair size. Beach houses in the LEGO Creator 3in1 theme arent uncommon with the last one being the now retired 31118 Surfer Beach House. 2024s version will contain almost double the amount of pieces suggesting a much bigger and more detailed building. A couple of more seaside themed rooms may be included along with a more extensive exterior along the seashore showcasing the sandy LEGO beaches. Of course, like every LEGO Creator 3in1 model, two more alternative builds are included along with the main build for that $109.99 price tag. These two builds are usually related to the main original build in someway, so we could possibly be expecting more seaside themed builds such as pier with a small arcade section and fish and chip restraunt or even a mighty lighthouse that would be a fair size with those 939 pieces. 31153 Modern Beach House Set Name - Modern Beach House Set Number - 31153 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 939 Price - $109.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 31153 releases in just over two months time on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 31153 Modern Beach House? What do you hope the other two builds are? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
