With the FIFA World Cup 2026 right around the corner, it's time to get into the football fever with nine brand new football-inspired LEGO sets officially presented today. All of these nine models are a part of the new for 2026 LEGO Editions theme, which has already kicked off with two previous World Cup-branded sets and further Formula 1-branded builds in the not-too-distant future. But on the 1st of May 2026, eight LEGO Editions football sets will be available, followed by the sole release of 43018 Lionel Messi - Celebration in June. The wave combines iconic players, national identity, and major tournament branding, bringing together brick-built figures, stylised dioramas, and collectable display pieces. Headlining the range are some of the biggest names in football, including Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior. Each player receives an exclusive LEGO Minifigure with detailed printing and nationally inspired designs, while Messi and Ronaldo also receive entirely brick-built, display-focused interpretations. Alongside the player-focused sets, LEGO has also introduced two further officially licensed builds tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026. 43011 Lionel Messi - Soccer Highlights Our first football-inspired LEGO Editions set launching on the 1st of May 2026 is 43011 Lionel Messi - Soccer Highlights.

The LEGO Group has officially revealed 71052 CMF Series 29 , confirming the next instalment in the long-running Collectable Minifigures line. Launching on the 1st of May 2026, the new series returns to the classic unthemed format, delivering 12 brand new characters packed with detailed printing, creative accessories, and several all-new moulds. After last year's Formula 1-focused May release , which stepped away from traditional Minifigures, Series 29 brings the theme back to its roots. This latest lineup blends everyday professions, fantasy characters, and nostalgic references, offering a well-balanced selection that caters to both collectors and casual fans. Retailing for $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 per blind box, Series 29 is the second CMF series of 2026, following on from January's 71051 Animals Series 28 . Confirmed Minifigure Lineup Here's a breakdown of all twelve Minifigures included in 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, vibrant goalkeeper kit printed on the figure's torso and legs. The Minifigure matches perfectly with the FIFA World Cup-inspired LEGO Editions sets that were released last month. Marine Biologist - A brand new LEGO Marine Biologist figure is coming in Series 29, following on from 71027 Series 20's Marine Biologist . The 2026 LEGO Minifigure is somewhat a gender swap of 2020's unlicensed series, but it includes 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, with exclusive crown printing, along with 'dirty blonde' hair. A white unicorn mould is also included as an accessory for the figure. Monster Hunter - Armoured with a funky new LEGO weapon involving fire, 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 an 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 a robot-like look. The T. rex-themed Minifigure also utilises 71037 Series 24s T-Rex Costumer Fan's head piece, but with a white futuristic and mechanical-like colour scheme. 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 features a brown apron printed on her torso and legs, along with a chef hat and blonde hair. 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 entire pink Boba Cup costume piece covers the head, torso and legs of the figure and even includes a small straw pocking out the top. 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 is based on the red Bionicle Tahu and includes 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, but is in fact 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 in purple. A pink magic wand is included as an accessory, and a dark grey, seated cat. 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 - 6+ Piece Count - 8 Price - $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 - Shop Now at LEGO.com   Release Date - 1st May 2026 71052 CMF Series 29 releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think?

Our third and final LEGO Disney reveal of today is another Toy Story-branded set and another brick-built figure. However, this is, in our opinion, the best of the three, being the most expressive, fun and display and play-friendly of the sets releasing on the 1st of May 2026. In particular, 43307 Alien with Pizza Planet Rocket Ride includes a total of 714 pieces retailing for $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99. The set itself recreates two icons of the Toy Story franchise: one of a three-eyed green alien and a rocket ride seen at the family pizza restaurant and arcade known as Pizza Planet. The brick-built rocket is built on an arcade-style base and includes a working turning crank to move the machine up and down. The blue arcade base also includes a coin dispenser that can hold two small coins, included in the 9+ model. Colours of white and red mainly feature on the rocket along with a yellow tip, some blue fire at the rear and some stickered Pizza Planet branding. A few more stickers can be found near the coin dispenser, including a 2x4 tile with the words 'Sid wuz here'. A small cartoon-like brick-built pizza can also be placed on the arcade base or can be held in the hand of the second main build of 43307 Alien with Pizza Planet Rocket Ride . An entirely brick-built version of one of the little green aliens makes up the rest of the 714 pieces and can be placed inside the Pizza Planet Rocket Ride itself. The brick-built green figure included those iconic three eyes on printed dishes along with a wide smiling mouth. Alien also features his blue astronaut-like clothing along with a movable head, arms, hands to hold the pizza accessory and feet, which can be seen by removing the character from the ride. 43307 Alien with Pizza Planet Rocket Ride Set Name - Alien with Pizza Planet Rocket Ride Set Number - 43307 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 714 Minifigures - 0 Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 - Shop Now at LEGO.com   Release Date - 1st May 2026 43307 Alien with Pizza Planet Rocket Ride releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think?

Our LEGO bricks will be smelling of strawberries next month as the LEGO Group has officially revealed an entirely brick-built version of Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear. 43306 Lotso is one of three LEGO Disney sets officially presented today, with all three builds being available from the 1st of May 2026. 43306 is the smallest of three as the 9+ model includes a total of 570 pieces retailing for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99. 43306 Lotso is the latest brick-built figure/character from the LEGO Disney theme, following on from January's 43286 The Aristocats Adorable Marie and last month's 43305 Piglet's Birthday Fun . This time, however, we're focusing on the antagonist of Toy Story 3, who could be argued as one of Disney Pixar's greatest ever villains in his iconic magenta-pink and cream colour scheme. The buildable figure Lotso is built standing upright, measuring over 6.5 inches (16 cm) tall, 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide, and 5 inches (13 cm) deep. He features a movable face, arms, legs, and hands, allowing him to also be displayed sitting when humans are around. 2x2 printed round tiles are used for the bear's eyes, while Lotso's eyebrows can be rotated to create a more sinister and evil look. The 9+ build is complete with a brick-built version of the figure's brown walking stick. 43306 Lotso Set Name - Lotso Set Number - 43306 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 570 Minifigures - 0 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 - Shop Now at LEGO.com   Release Date - 1st May 2026 43306 Lotso releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think?

The LEGO Group has officially revealed 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends , giving us an official look at one of the most unique LEGO Disney sets of 2026 and the latest addition to the ever-expanding book nook/bookend range. Arriving on the 1st of May 2026, the 18+ model brings Pixar’s iconic Slinky Dog to life both as a brick-built figure and as a unique Minifigure scale model. Following the release of 43300 Winnie The Pooh , 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends will be the second LEGO Disney  18+ model of 2026 and one of several Toy Story-inspired sets releasing this Spring. The adult-oriented model includes a total of 1,311 pieces and two LEGO Minifigures , retailing for $149.99 / €149.99 / £129.99. The set itself is a literal brick-built interpretation of Slinky Dog, cleverly split into two halves which can remain as two or be combined into the full version of Slinky. Each half is integrated into a brick-built book base, providing the stability needed to hold real books in place. The two books are of varying heights, thickness and colours, with the larger, thicker one being purple and pink representing Knick Knack, while the other one includes variations of the colour blue for Tin Toy. Knick Knack includes a play feature of a rotating knob to reveal a LEGO Minifigure of Woody, along with plenty of Disney Easter eggs and surprises inside. A much smaller Minifigure scale version of Slinky can also be revealed by a mechanism of the spine in Tin Toy. The front half of the whole bookend build focuses on Slinky's expressive head, shoulders and front paws. The Pixar character includes an entirely brick-built movable face with printed eyes, a brown nose, a mouth that can be opened and closed, along with fabric elements for Slinky's ears. The dog's front paws can also be moved with the rest of the front half of the body, including the first half of the iconic spring. The rest of the grey coloured spring can be found attached to the rear half of the display piece. Here, the focus shifts to Slink's hindquarters and his thin, upright tail. Once again, the back paws will have plenty of movement and posability, allowing 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends to be displayed in various ways. As we've already alluded to, 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends includes two characters to make up the value of the $150 set. These are Woody, who is the exact same as his most recent appearance in 40774 Classic Animation Scenes GWP  and our first ever Minifigure scale version of Slinky Dog. This exclusive version of Slinky looks to be made from two pieces with a rubber middle representing the iconic spring. 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends Set Name - Slinky Dog Bookends Set Number - 43301 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,311 Minifigures - 2 (Woody, Slinky) Price - $149.99 / €149.99 / £129.99 - Shop Now at LEGO.com   Release Date - 1st May 2026 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think?

As the anticipation for Toy Story 5 continues to build ahead of its cinematic release this summer, the LEGO Group is diving back into Andy's toy box for a unique addition to the LEGO Disney lineup. Releasing on the 1st of May 2025, 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends offers an 18+ building experience that combines a brick-built recreation of an iconic Pixar character with some LEGO home decor. Following the release of 43300 Winnie The Pooh , 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends will be the second LEGO Disney 18+ model of 2026. However, it definitely won't be the last as anticipation continues to build for 43302 Disney Main Street, which is scheduled for this Summer. But returning to the brick-built Bookend, here's everything you need to know about one of five LEGO Toy Story sets releasing this Spring... The Important Details Following earlier rumours of a 'Book Nook', it is now confirmed that 43301 does, in fact, recreate a pair of functional bookends, capturing the iconic silhouette of the loyal dashshund Slinky Dog. The adult-oriented set includes a total of 1,311 pieces and two LEGO Minifigures , retailing for $149.99 / €149.99 / £129.99. As we've already mentioned, 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends releases on the 1st of May 2026, where it's expected to be accompanied by at least three more Toy Story-branded LEGO builds. These include 43304 Toy Story: Wild West , 43306 Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear and 43307 Alien Pizza Planet Rocket Ride . A brand new Toy Story LEGO BrickHeadz set is also expected to be released a month later on the 1st of June 2026. The Build The set itself is a literal brick-built interpretation of Slinky Dog, cleverly split into two halves which can remain as two or be combined into the full version of Slinky. Each half is integrated into a brick-built book base, providing the stability needed to hold real books in place. The two books are of varying heights, thickness and colours, with the larger, thicker one being purple and pink, while the other one includes variations of the colour blue. The front half of the bookend focuses on Slinky's expressive head, shoulders and front paws. The Pixar character includes an entirely brick-built movable face with printed eyes, a brown nose, a mouth that can be opened and closed, along with fabric elements for Slinky's ears. The dog's front paws can also be moved with the rest of the front half of the body, including the first half of the iconic silver spring. The rest of the silver spring can be found attached to the rear half of the display piece. Here, the focus shifts to Slink's hindquarters and his thin, upright tail. Once again, the back paws will have plenty of movement and posability, allowing 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends to be displayed in various ways. Finally, the build for the two books includes some hidden compartments, similar to what was seen in last year's 75691 Glinda & Elphaba Bookends . Here, builders will be able to place and store the two LEGO Minifigures included in the 2026 model, along with uncovering various Toy Story Easter eggs in brick-built LEGO form. Minifigure Lineup 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends includes two characters to make up the value of the $150 set. These are Woody, who is 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 iconic spring. Gift With Purchase? A question which is commonly asked with every major LEGO release, particularly 18+ models, is whether there will be a Gift With Purchase ? Current rumours suggest that we unfortunately won't be receiving a brand new promotional item alongside 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends in May. However, as the LEGO Group continues to focus the LEGO Disney theme on Toy Story 5, we wouldn't be surprised to see a possible Toy Story GWP in the future or exclusive offers from the official LEGO store and LEGO shop@home. 43301 Slinky Dog Bookends releases on the 1st of May 2026, but what do you think? Will you be adding this Toy Story display piece to your collection? With Woody and the first-ever Minifigure-scale Slinky Dog included, is this one of the must-have LEGO Disney sets of 2026? How does it compare to last year's Glinda and Elphaba Bookends? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Disney coverage. If you're as excited as we are about Slinky Dog finally getting the LEGO bookend treatment, share this post with a fellow Toy Story fan and make sure you're following Bricks Up so you don't miss a thing when more sets from the LEGO Toy Story 5 lineup are revealed!

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?

LEGO is set to revisit one of The Walt Disney Company's greatest ever collections of movies and IP: Toy Story. The toy-inspired franchise returns to the big screen this Summer with the release of Toy Story 5, and the LEGO Group will be one of many toy companies releasing merchandise based on the new film and past movies and shorts. In this article, we'll be covering all of the LEGO Disney sets rumoured to be released in 2026 tied to Toy Story 5. Currently, five sets are reportedly coming over the next couple of months, including a brand new 18+ booknook, a friendly 4+ model, and our first Toy Story-branded LEGO BrickHeadz since 2022. 40860 Toy Story Character Collection 40860 Toy Story Character Collection recreates five iconic Toy Story characters as blocky, collectable brick-built LEGO BrickHeadz figures. These include Woody and Buzz, who have already been recreated in this form before, along with Jessie and two Aliens. The two Aliens will likely be much smaller than the other three characters, explaining that $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 price tag for five figures. Set Name - Toy Story Character Collection Set Number - 40860 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - TBC Minifigures - 0 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st June 2026 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook The LEGO Book Nook collection returns in 2026 with 43301 Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook being our first Disney-branded Book Nook. The 18+ model recreates a brick-built version of Slinky Dog that can be placed between and on the end of your bookshelf or as a completely separate display piece. Two LEGO Minifigures of Woody and Slinky Dog himself are also included in the 1,311-piece set. Set Name - Toy Story Slinky Dog Book Nook Set Number - 43301 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,311 Minifigures - 2 (Woody, Slinky Dog) Price - $149.99 / €149.99 / £129.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 43304 Toy Story: Wild West From adult-oriented builds to those aimed at much younger, beginner LEGO fans, 43304 Toy Story: Wild West is the latest Disney-branded 4+ model. Including 209 pieces retailing for $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99, 43304 looks to recreate a "Woody's Roundup" aesthetic in brick-built form, possibly with a small western-style facade build featuring a sheriff's office, a desert rock formation or a simple stagecoach-style vehicle, for example. Set Name - Toy Story: Wild West Set Number - 43304 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 209 Minifigures - 2? (Woody, Bullseye) Price - $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 43306 Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear May looks to be full of the smell of strawberries as the LEGO Group will be releasing an entirely brick-built version of Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear under the set number 43306. With a retail price of $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 and 570 pieces included, the 9+ model will likely be a similar size and scale to this month's 43305 Piglet's Birthday Fun. However, 43306 will recreate the iconic villain with his magenta-pink and cream colour scheme and brown walking stick. Set Name - Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear Set Number - 43306 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 570 Minifigures - 0 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st May 2026 43307 Alien Pizza Planet Rocket Ride Last but not least, we have possibly another brick-built character, but riding an iconic Pizza Planet ride. In particular, this is 43307 Alien Pizza Planet Rocket Ride, which includes 714 pieces retailing for $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99. An entirely brick-built version of one of the little green aliens will be sat inside the ride, which will hopefully feature a cool rocking functionality like an actual arcade ride. Set Name - Alien Pizza Planet Rocket Ride Set Number - 43307 Age Range - TBC Piece Count - 714 Minifigures - TBC Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 Release Date - 1st May 2026 All five of these LEGO Disney Toy Story 5 sets are rumoured for 2026, spanning April, May, and June releases, but what do you think?

2026 is a big year for the Harry Potter franchise as we get ever closer to the release of the HBO Harry Potter TV series and celebrate 25 years since the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The LEGO Group will be marking the special anniversary with plenty of models based around the first movie, including some of the eight sets officially revealed for a 1st of January 2026 release. 76459 Hagrid & Harry's Privet Drive Escape At the start of this year, many fans were quite disappointed by the intriguingly built 76443 Hagrid & Harry's Motorbike Ride . Thankfully, in 2026, LEGO is releasing a Minifigure-scale version of Harry's escape from Privet Drive in the first Deathly Hallows film. Retailing for $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 , the playset includes the main motorcycle build attached with the sidecar for Harry to sit in, along with four Minifigures of Harry, Hagrid and two Death Eaters.

The LEGO interpretation captures the creature's mischievousness perfectly with expressive printed eyes and a wide smile. The mainly electric blue figure also includes transparent wings along with movement in its legs, arms and ears. The rest of the 320 pieces recreate a Gilderoy Lockhart book and a toppled ink bottle. Set Name - Cornish Pixie Set Number - 76461 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 320 Price - $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing is the headline Minifigure scale set of the Winter 2026 wave for the LEGO Harry Potter  theme. The latest Hogwarts Castle expansion will recreate the Hospital Wing from The Prisoner of Azkaban, along with the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and the Ravenclaw Common Room. The $100 set also includes seven Minifigures of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Penelope Clearwater, Professor Lupin, The Grey Lady, and a Dementor.

Two LEGO Minifigures  of Hermione Granger and Professor Snape are also featured in the 2026 set, which includes 652 pieces retailing for $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99.

Coming in at $169.99 / €159.99 / £149.99, 76466 celebrates 25 years since the release of the Philosopher's Stone by recreating some of the most iconic details, moments, accessories and more in LEGO form. Three Minifigures are included along with a couple of microscale scenes and plenty of brick-built objects.

A total of five LEGO Minifigures are included in the 10+ model of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, Xenophilius Lovegood and a Death Eater.

With 868 pieces retailing for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99, 76470 not only includes the iconic light blue Ford Anglia, but brick-built figures of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, similar to the two seen in 76443 Hagrid & Harry's Motorbike Ride ,  which was released just earlier this year. Set Name - Enchanted Flying Ford Anglia Set Number - 76470 Age Range - 14+ Piece Count - 868 Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 All eight of these LEGO Harry Potter  sets will release on the 1st of January 2026, but what do you think? How many of these magical models will you be purchasing in a months time? What's your favourite and least favourite set of the wave? What else would you like to see from the theme in 2026 ? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Following on from the latest LEGO Harry Potter D2C of 76457 Hogsmeade Village: Collector's Edition, which releases in just a few days, the magical licensed theme will be releasing another eight sets on the 1st of January 2026. The wave consists of the usual mix of iconic locations and moments, along with a brand new brick-built creature and the latest 18+ branded LEGO Harry Potter model. 76459 Hagrid & Harry's Privet Drive Escape At the start of this year, many fans were quite disappointed by the intriguingly built 76443 Hagrid & Harry's Motorbike Ride . Thankfully, in 2026, LEGO will be releasing a Minifigure-scale version of Harry's escape from Privet Drive in the first Deathly Hallows film. Retailing for $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 , the playset will see the main motorcycle build attached with the sidecar for Harry to sit in. Both Harry and Hagrid will obviously be included as Minifigures. Set Name - Hagrid & Harry's Privet Drive Escape Set Number - 76459 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76460 Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat Ceremony One of two LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle expansion sets in this wave, 76460 recreates the Sorting Hat ceremony from Harry's first year at Hogwarts. The 7+ model will likely include a very small section of the Great Hall, simply recreating the moment Harry Potter is sorted into Gryffindor. A young Harry Potter Minifigure will definitely be included, and, depending on the size of the build, we could see one or two more characters also appear. Set Name - Hogwarts Castle: Sorting Hat Ceremony Set Number - 76460 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76461 Cornish Pixie The latest buildable character/creature from the LEGO Harry Potter theme will be the Cornish Pixie, which first appears in the Chamber of Secrets. At a retail price of $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99, we can expect a fully posable display model standing around 20cm tall and including the Pixie's main features, such as its flapping wings, along with articulated limbs and a mischievous and playful brick-built expression. Set Name - Cornish Pixie Set Number - 76461 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing 76463 Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing is the headline Minifigure scale set of the Winter 2026 wave for the LEGO Harry Potter theme. The latest Hogwarts Castle expansion will recreate the Hospital Wing from The Prisoner of Azkaban. We can expect multiple sick beds with white screens, potion cabinets and the signature clock tower in the background. Madame Pomfrey will definitely be included as a Minifigure, along with potentially four more characters. Set Name - Hogwarts Castle: Hospital Wing Set Number - 76463 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $99.99 / €99.99 / £89.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76464 Caulderon Secret Potions Class A brand-new kind of set is 76464 Caulderon Secret Potions Class, which recreates a brick-built LEGO cauldron which can be opened/unfolded to reveal a hidden potions classroom inside. The 12+ model is very similar in style to previous LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Moments sets, but retails for a much higher price at $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99. Set Name - Caulderon Secret Potions Class Set Number - 76464 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76466 Philosopher's Stone - Collectors Edition The largest and most expensive set releasing on the 1st of January 2026 is the latest LEGO Harry Potter 18+ branded model. Coming in at $169.99 / €169.99 / £149.99, 76466 will be celebrating 25 years since the film was first released. Exactly what the 18+ model is is currently unknown, but current rumours suggest it'll either be a selection of brick-built objects relating to the theme or a detailed Minifigure-scale recreation of an iconic scene from the movie. Set Name - Philosopher's Stone - Collectors Edition Set Number - 76466 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $169.99 / €169.99 / £149.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76467 Luna Lovegood's House Finally, LEGO will be recreating the mysterious and magical house belonging to the Lovegood family. 76467 will attempt to recreate the whimsical architecture and quirky design of the house with rounded walls, a colourful roof and, crazily, magical interior details. Retailing for $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99, we can expect around four Minifigures, including Xenophilius Lovegood and Luna Lovegood. Set Name - Luna Lovegood's House Set Number - 76467 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $89.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 76470 Flying Ford Anglia And last but not least is another entirely brick-built recreation, this time it being an extremely large and detailed version of the Weasley family's enchanted car. Retailing for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99, we expect 76470 Flying Ford Anglia to be in a similar scale to previous LEGO Icons vehicles, making it a perfect display model whilst also including the ability to change the car from a normal Ford Anglia to its magical flying setting. Set Name - Flying Ford Anglia Set Number - 76470 Age Range - 14+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 Release Date - 1st January 2026 All eight of these rumoured LEGO Harry Potter sets release on the 1st of January 2026, but what do you think?

The LEGO Group has officially revealed LEGO Marvel 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, presenting one of the most ambitious Marvel display sets ever produced. With 3,057 pieces and a price of $399.99 / €369.99 / £329.99, this 18+ model recreates the Avengers' iconic flying aircraft carrier at an impressive scale, combining detailed microscale building with a strong superhero-heavy Minifigure lineup. Launching on the 1st of June 2026, this is now the fourth LEGO Helicarrier ever released, but is easily one of the largest and most refined versions. It surpasses 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier from 2015 in piece count, while also improving on the Helicarrier's proportions and overall accuracy. Compared to the smaller 2024 microscale version, 76295 The Avengers Helicarrier, this model also delivers a far more detailed and reference-filled build aimed at adult collectors. Measuring 68 cm in length and around 30 cm in height on its display stand, 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier is designed as a centrepiece model. The structure sits hovering on a compact black stand, creating the illusion of flight while keeping the focus on the impressive LEGO Marvel build itself. A small printed nameplate also features, along with space to display all six LEGO Minifigures included in the 18+ model. The design of the LEGO Helicarrier focuses heavily on clean lines and a sleek finish. Smooth tiles and angled plates reduce visible studs across the aircraft's surface, creating a more polished and modern look than previous versions. The overall shape remains instantly recognisable, with a wide rectangular flight deck, a slightly tapered front section, and a compact command tower rising from the centre, all included in the brick-built recreation. The flight deck in particular is one of the standout features of 76354, including detailed runway markings built from a mix of bricks and stickers, along with plenty of S.H.I.E.L.D branding. The runway can also be extended to allow further space for the mini birck-built Qunijets to take off and land. Furthermore, the runway can even be pushed back and removed to reveal the interior of the Helicarrier. Here, multiple microscale scenes inspired by the Marvel films are recreated in LEGO. These include a control room with tiny crew members, a S.H.I.E.L.D meeting area featuring Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Phil Coulson in miniature form, and a prison cell that appears to reference Loki’s containment from The Avengers. Additional hidden details include a small Iron Man micro build recreating the turbine repair scene, as well as a collectable comic-style tile based on Captain America’s Winter Soldier storyline. The Helicarrier’s propulsion system is built around four large turbine engines positioned at each corner. These use newly designed circular elements and internal spoke detailing to create a more realistic and mechanical look. Additional engine structures are integrated into the rear, reinforcing the scale and functionality of the aircraft carrier. One section even allows for a damage scenario with LEGO fire pieces, referencing battle scenes from the films. 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier includes six Minifigures, all of which feature updated designs. The lineup consists of Captain America in his stealth suit, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, and Phil Coulson. Winter Soldier includes improved printing for his cybernetic arm, Hawkeye features an alternate mind-controlled face, and Phil Coulson returns as a LEGO Minifigure for only the second time, making him one of the most notable inclusions in the set. 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier Set Name - S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier Set Number - 76354 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,057 Minifigures - 6 (Captain America, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Phil Coulson) Price - $399.99 / €369.99 / £329.99 - Shop Now at LEGO.com Release Date - 1st June 2026 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier releases on the 1st of June 2026, but what do you think? With 3,057 pieces, six updated minifigures, and a flight deck you can actually remove to explore the microscale interior, it is shaping up to be one of the most detailed LEGO Marvel sets in years. Are you picking this one up, or does the £329.99 price tag give you pause? How does it compare to the iconic 76042 from 2015 in your eyes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Marvel coverage. If you're as excited as we are about 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, share this post with a fellow LEGO Marvel fan who needs to see it.

The LEGO community is buzzing today as we have another set of leaked images for another highly anticipated 2026 set. Rather than the elegant and playful LEGO Botanicals model of 11506 Rocking Plants , we have our first look at the action-packed LEGO Marvel set of 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier. The latest 18+ model for the superhero theme includes a total of 3,057 pieces retailing for $399.99 / €369.99 / £339.99. Our first images of 76354 come from the online French retailer Fnac ahead of its expected release date on either the 1st of April or June 2026. Some reports have suggested that an official presentation from the LEGO Group will take place later this week, aligning with the April release date. Others have also stated a Summer release or a classic retail exclusive release where the Marvel-branded set is initially only available in LEGO stores for the first few months of its product life. The Helicarrier is not new to LEGO, with the most notable previous version being 76042 The SHIELD Helicarrier , which was released in 2015. That model was widely regarded as a flagship display set, featuring a highly detailed microscale design supported by a large base and accompanied by a selection of Minifigures, micro figures and micro builds. The 2026 version, in contrast, adopts a flatter and more streamlined design yet still captures the distinctive shape of the Helicarrier to make it the largest LEGO Marvel set of 2026. Rather than being elevated on a tall stand, the build seems to sit lower, with a stronger emphasis on the flight deck and surface detailing. 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier features a broad, rectangular deck with clearly marked runway sections and landing zones. The surface is broken up with lines, panels and subtle colour variations, creating a structured and organised appearance of the aircraft carrier. The four large turbine engines are positioned at the corners, with further engines and structural features also found at the Helicarrier's rear. The body of the Helicarrier appears to be constructed with a combination of smooth tiles and angled plates, producing a much sleeker design with fewer studs showing. Further sleekness can be found at the front section, which tapers slightly to give a more aerodynamic look when viewed from above. Additionally, the command tower rises slightly above the deck but remains relatively low in height at this LEGO Marvel microscale. The whole 18+ model sits in the usual black 18+ display stand along with a small namplate rather than a more detailed information plaque seen in previous adult-oriented LEGO Marvel builds. However, this area does allow builders to display the six Minifigures included in 76354 of Captain America, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Phil Coulson. Captain America, in particular, looks to be included in his stealth suit version. 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier Set Name - S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier Set Number - 76354 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,057 Minifigures - 6 (Captain America, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, Phil Coulson) Price - $399.99 / €369.99 / £339.99 Release Date - 1st April 2026 76354 S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier releases on the 1st of April 2026, but what do you think? Will you be picking up the largest LEGO Marvel set of 2026, or are you waiting to see whether an official reveal lands later this week before committing? How does this sleeker, flight-deck-focused redesign compare to the iconic 76042 from 2015 in your eyes? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Marvel coverage.

It's become tradition for the LEGO Group to reveal its range of upcoming Chinese New Year sets at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, and that's exactly what's happened today. In particular, a total of three Lunar New Year-branded sets have been revealed for 2026. All three are exclusive to LEGO stores and LEGO shop@home, bringing Chinese vibes, colour and creativity to brick-built LEGO form. 40864 Fortune Master The first of three LEGO Chinese New Year sets is the smallest of the collection, with 386 pieces retailing for just $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99. 40964 Fortune Master is the latest brick-built figure in LEGO form, yet one of the most expressive and customisable, with three sets of eyes included for the traditionally red and gold dressed Fortune Master.

A handle can be turned on the side of the 10+ model to make the horses move as if they're galloping out of the painting found at the rear of the set. The $110 model may not be designed for Minifigures, but two are featured, including one dressed as a horse.

The LEGO Group's social media pages have been extremely busy over the last week with unofficial reveals from the LEGO Jurassic World theme of 77984 Jurassic Park Jeep Wrangler and 77985 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops , to today's LEGO ONE PIECE tease. In particular, the short clip gives us our first look at a LEGO version of Tony Tony Chopper, which is set to appear in the second-ever LEGO ONE PIECE wave launching this summer. A total of seven LEGO ONE PIECE sets are scheduled to launch on the 1st of August 2026, including 75647 Gum-Gum Fruit , which is already available for pre-order. But back to the tease itself, the short video appeared on the LEGO Group's Instagram page earlier today, hinting at what's to come for the licensed anime theme in just a few months time. The video opens with a peek-a-boo-like reveal where we can see the top of a distinctive pink top hat emerging from a sparkling snow drift. This is clearly referencing Drum Island, the setting for the season two finale and appearing in brick-built LEGO form under the set 75645 Castle on Drum Island. Slowly, we get more than just a glimpse of the hat as the whole top half of a LEGO Minifigure of Tony Tony Chopper appears. While the teaser is brief, it confirms a few specific design choices for this brand-new ONE PIECE Minifigure. The most obvious is that we are getting a completely new piece to replicate Tony Tony Chopper's top hat. The LEGO version, rather than a more realistic red, uses a vibrant pink similar to that seen in the original ONE PIECE anime. The mould includes both the top hat and the Straw Hat Pirate's brown reindeer ears and antlers. In the social media clip, we see two expressions from Tony Tony Chopper: angry and happy. Both of these will likely be the two face prints that appear on the physical figure, which will also include the figure's blue nose and wide, soulful eyes. The rest of the figure, while not shown, will likely make use of the short, non-bending LEGO Minifigure legs to accurately represent Tony Tony Chopper's size in the Netflix live-action series. The new LEGO Minifigure will hopefully be one of many new figures, characters and locations appearing in this second wave of LEGO ONE PIECE . We expect Tony Tony Chopper to appear in both the previously mentioned 75645 Castle on Drum Island and in the entirely brick-built recreation of the Straw Hat Pirate under the set number 75643 Tony Tony Chopper. These two, like the rest of the wave and the already revealed 75647 Gum-Gum Fruit , are expected to hit shelves on the 1st of August 2026. The second wave of LEGO ONE PIECE launches on the 1st of August 2026, and with Tony Tony Chopper now officially teased, excitement is well and truly building. But what do you think of the Chopper Minifigure so far? Are you happy with the vibrant pink hat and the dual face prints, or were you hoping for something different? How does this tease compare to the reveals from the first LEGO ONE PIECE wave? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below!

Last year's LEGO Black Friday set boldly went where no builder had gone before as the LEGO Group released its first-ever Star Trek-branded set. 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D has been extremely popular, being placed on back order multiple times on LEGO shop@home, with the 18+ models Gift With Purchase also selling out in days. Well, luckily, LEGO and Star Trek aren't just going to be a one-off set... Rumours and leaks over the last few days have circulated suggesting that our second LEGO Star Trek set will be released in 2026. This has been further corroborated by Brick Clicker on Instagram , who reported that, on behalf of Reddit user AutomaticTree654, a LEGO Icons set currently titled Star Trek: The Bridge Diorama is expected to debut this Summer. 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, and it's no surprise to see the LEGO Group producing sets ahead of this big anniversary. The rumoured set will even be based on the Original Series to further celebrate the franchise's incredible 60 years. This means we will be getting LEGO Minifigures based on the original series, including new torso prints and character-specific elements such as Spock's distinctive Vulcan features. The rumoured LEGO Icons Star Trek: The Bridge Diorama will likely recreate the command centre from Star Trek: The Original Series as a compact, brick-built display model. We can expect a curved, open front layout that mirrors the circular shape of the bridge, similar to the LEGO Star Wars dioramas based on scenes from the Death Star. And as with most LEGO dioramas, it will be on a black raised base with a printed nameplate tile at the front. At the centre of the build would likely be the captain's chair, positioned on a small circular platform. Around it, we might find control stations arranged in a semi-circle with various prints for the controls and various other references to individual episodes. Meanwhile, the helm and navigation areas might sit at the very front of the 18+ model, giving the scene a layered, extremely detailed feel. The whole scene will be LEGO Minifigure scale, and therefore, we can expect a bunch of characters to appear in brick-built LEGO form for the very first time. The likes of James T. Kirk, Spock, Leonard McCoy, Nyota Uhura, Hikaru Sulu, and Pavel Chekov could be included in the Summer 2026 model. However, with no rumoured price or piece count, it's currently impossible to know exactly how many Minifigures will be included or how big the brick-built diorama will actually be. Star Trek: The Bridge Diorama is rumoured to debut as a LEGO Icons set in Summer 2026, but what do you think? Are you excited to see the Original Series bridge recreated in brick-built form, and which characters are you most hoping to find included? Would you love to see Kirk, Spock, and the full crew all make it into the set, or are you happy with just a few key figures?
