The hype and discussion around LEGO SMART Play and its groundbreaking technology may have gone a bit quiet in the last few weeks, but the LEGO Group are continuing to introduce sets with its most intelligent brick yet. In March, we saw the galaxy play back as the LEGO Star Wars theme produced eight SMART Play-branded sets. Now, at least four more sets incorporating the new technology are coming for the LEGO Pokémon theme. These four sets will release on the 1st of August alongside three 18+ builds confirmed for the new for 2026 line. Further rumours also suggest that we could see up to 16 sets launch this summer for the gaming theme, with many of these being SMART Play-branded. However, only four are confirmed so far of 72157 Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash, 72159 Jigglypuff Concert, 72164 Pikachu's Training House, and 72166 Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown. 72157 Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash An exciting Pokémon-themed battle is recreated in 72157 Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash and its 198 pieces. Both Charmander and Geodude appear in brick-built LEGO form for the very first time with exclusive facial prints for their compact, blocky builds. The latter of the two Pokémon is attached to a small rocky cavern recreation, which includes a rock-based shooter and exploding rock elements. Set Name - Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash Set Number - 72157 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 198 Minifigures - 0 SMART Play Accessories - 2x SMART Tags Price - $TBC / €TBC / £TBC Release Date - 1st August 2026 72159 Jigglypuff Concert Time for a musical brick-built scene with 72159 Jigglypuff Concert, which includes just 88 pieces once it releases on the 1st of August 2026. These elements are used to create the vibrant pink normal/fairy-type Pokémon with further exclusive printing for the creature's eyes, mouth and ears. Two speakers, a microphone and an exclusive Jigglypuff SMART Tag also feature in the 7+ model. Set Name - Jigglypuff Concert Set Number - 72159 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 88 Minifigures - 0 SMART Play Accessories - 1x SMART Tag Price - $TBC / €TBC / £TBC Release Date - 1st August 2026 72164 Pikachu's Training House The main LEGO SMART Play Pokémon set is 72164 Pikachu's Training House, which not only includes our second, much smaller brick-built version of Pikachu but also an 'All-in-One' SMART Play set. Retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99, Pikachu, about the same size if not smaller than a LEGO BrickHeadz figure, is included alongside the revolutionary SMART Brick and a Pikachu-shaped house for the brick-built figure to interact with in various ground-breaking ways. Set Name - Pikachu's Training House Set Number - 72164 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 400 Minifigures - 0 SMART Play Accessories - 1x SMART Brick + TBC more Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72166 Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown Last but not least, it's time for things to get a little haunted and scary with the release of 72166 Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown on the 1st of August 2026. The LEGO SMART Play function included in this set will heavily focus on this 'spooky showdown' between the two entirely brick-built Pokémon of Cubone and Gengar. The latter character can be seen sitting on a pedastle, resembling a castle with a hidden treasure chest. Set Name - Cubone and Gengar's Spooky Showdown Set Number - 72166 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - TBC Minifigures - 0 SMART Play Accessories - 4x SMART Tags Price - $TBC / €TBC / £TBC Release Date - 1st August 2026 Four LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets are rumoured to release on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think?

While many LEGO themes have already had their summer 2026 sets officially presented, the LEGO Group are saving some of the best reveals until last, with the debut 2026 LEGO Pokémon theme being one of them. After just three entirely adult-oriented sets released on Pokémon day in February, rumours indicate that up to 16 sets could be launching on the 1st of August 2026. Three of these are more 18+ branded models to add to the previously mentioned February debut releases. 72160 Arcanine has already been leaked, thanks to the UK Amazon site and will be joined by 72150 Munchlax and 72168 Rayquaza. All three builds will be mid-sized brick-built recreations of the in-game Pokémon, but built in their respective scale and compatible with the already available 72151 Eevee. 72150 Munchlax Translating one of Pokémon’s most recognisable baby Pokémon into brick-built form, 72150 Munchlax could deliver a compact yet characterful 18+ display model centred around the creature’s simple, rounded appearance. Munchlax eats anything edible except for Pokémon and humans, so some form of eating mechanism may be recreated within the August 2026 set's 757 pieces retailing for $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99. Set Name - Munchlax Set Number - 72150 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 757 Minifigure - 0 Price - $69.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72160 Arcanine We already have our first image of 72160 Arcanine, thanks to the UK Amazon site, but we'll provide the picture here again, along with reconfirming the 18+ set's 1,190 pieces and recommended retail price of $109.99 / €99.99 / £89.99. Pokédex number 59 in brick-built LEGO form includes plenty of posability along with an accurate recreation of its fluffy mane, tail and fur. Set Name - Arcanine Set Number - 72160 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,190 Minifigures - 0 Price - $109.99 / €99.99 / £89.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72168 Rayquaza Last but not least, we have the most expensive model of the three adult branded sets: 72168 Rayquaza. While retailing for $129.99 / €129.99 / £109.99, the brick-built duel-type Dragon and Flying legendary Pokémon has a smaller piece count than 72160 Arcanine at 1,038 pieces. These elements will focus on accurately recreating the long, serpentine masterpiece with tightly linked joints that allow the brick-built body to twist, coil and curve just like the in-game dragon does. Set Name - Rayquaza Set Number - 72168 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,038 Minifigures - 0 Price - $129.99 / €129.99 / £109.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72150 Munchlax, 72160 Arcanine, and 72168 Rayquaza are all rumoured to release on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Which of these three 18+ Pokémon sets are you most excited about? Will Rayquaza's serpentine build live up to Arcanine's posable design, or is Munchlax the sleeper hit of the wave? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Pokémon coverage.

Three brand new LEGO Botanicals sets are launching in just over a week's time, but the LEGO Group have now accidentally given us a sneak peek at their next nature-inspired build. In particular, this is 11513 Dark Flowers, which introduces a moodier colour palette for the Botanicals theme once it releases at some point this year. Along with an unconfirmed release date, the set's piece count and price are currently both unknown as well. Regardless, the official LEGO Builder app has provided us with a leaked image of 11513 Dark Flowers, combined with June's upcoming 11514 Cosmos Flowers. While plenty of LEGO Botanicals sets can be displayed together on a shelf or in a non-brick-built vase, 11513 and 11514 will be some of the first Botanicals models that can be directly combined to make an even bigger and unique brick-built LEGO bouquet. The leaked image clearly shows how 11513 Dark Flowers leans into a gothic-like aesthetic, utilising deep tones such as black, dark red, and dark purple in its floral selection. The front of the display features a large, dark purple flower that closely resembles an anemone, built with layered petaled segments around a textured dark core. On the right, a dense dark red flower represents a dahlia. This segment features clever part usage, utilising small dark red shields layered sequentially to recreate the dense, pointed geometry of dahlia petals. Meanwhile, the lower left section introduces a striking black calla lily (or arum lily), using a LEGO umbrella piece to create the plant's signature, elegant funnel shape. All of this looks to be conncted via LEGO Technic elements acting as stems to a brick-built black base. 11513 Dark Flowers Set Name - Dark Flowers Set Number - 11513 Age Range - TBC Piece Count - TBC Minifigures - 0 Price - $TBC / €TBC / £TBC Release Date - 2026 11513 Dark Flowers is set to release at some point in 2026, but what do you think? Is the gothic-inspired colour palette a welcome change for the LEGO Botanicals theme? Will you be combining it with 11514 Cosmos Flowers to build a full brick-built bouquet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Botanicals coverage.

The LEGO Group has officially revealed the final LEGO Speed Champions set of the summer and the year, with 77263 BMW M3 (E30). Following an initial behind-the-scenes teaser from BMW M Motorsport, we now have official images of the brick-built car, which becomes just the second ever BMW Speed Champions model after 2024's 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars. The time, however, the August 2026 model shifts the focus from modern hypercars to historic touring legends, with an entirely brick-built recreation of the BMW M3 (E30). The 9+ model celebrates exactly four decades of the iconic 1980s homologation classic with a unique livery designed by both the LEGO Group and BMW. Once it's available from the 1st of August 2026, the second LEGO Speed Champions set releasing on this day will retail for the usual $29.99 / €27.99 / £22.99 with 358 pieces included. Those 358 pieces cleverly capture the literal physical characteristics of the real-world car. The front section, for example, smartly integrates two LEGO fork elements positioned vertically to replicate the narrow slats of BMW's iconic kidney grille. Meanwhile, the bodywork and overall shaping focus on the heavily flared wheel arches, the flat front hood, and the distinct, boxy rear trunk of the 1980s E30 chassis. The livery of the BMW M3 E30 is the most interesting and unique element of the LEGO Speed Champions model. The paint work has been uniquely collaborated between the two global brands, consisting of diagonal red, blue, and black graphics on a white base. A large number 40 can also be found on the brick-built hood, referencing the 40th anniversary of the BMW M3, with many of these details actually being prints rather than stickers. Finally, golden wheel rims and detailing also appear on the car, which is built in the usual eight-stud-wide Speed Champions format with space for a single LEGO Minifigure. This figure has an exclusive BMW torso along with simple grey legs, a vibrant pink hairpiece and a LEGO wrench accessory. 77263 BMW M3 (E30) Set Name - BMW M3 (E30) Set Number - 77263 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 358 Minifigures - 1 Price - $29.99 / €27.99 / £22.99 - Shop Now at LEGO Release Date - 1st August 2026 77263 BMW M3 (E30) releases on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Will you be picking up this 40th anniversary tribute to one of BMW's most iconic touring cars? Does the collaborative livery hit the mark, or would you have preferred a more traditional race livery? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Speed Champions coverage.

Just one more LEGO Speed Champions set for 2026 has yet to be officially revealed, with today's tease confirming the existence of the set and the expected presentation. In particular, brick-built car enthusiasts will be seeing the release of 77263 BMW M3 E30 - 40th Anniversary on the 1st of August 2026, alongside the previously revealed 77264 Jaguar Project 7 & Land Rover Defender. The tease itself, confirming multiple rumours about the 9+ model, has appeared as both an interview on YouTube and an Instagram post confirming an exciting collaboration between the LEGO Group and BMW, which is to be revealed tomorrow, the 22nd of May 2026. 77263 not only celebrates 40 years of the iconic BMW M3 E30, but also marks just the second BMW LEGO Speed Champions set after 2024's 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars. This time, however, 77263 focuses on the BMW M3 E30 - a high-performance version of the original BMW 3 Series produced in the 1980s. BMW built it for racing and road use, focusing on light weight, sharp handling, and strong engine performance. It is widely seen as one of the most important and influential performance cars BMW has ever made, making it the perfect brick-built model to round out another successful year for LEGO Speed Champions. During the behind-the-scenes deep dive and interview, the build represented a formal four-month development partnership. Will Thorogood, Head of Design for New Business at the LEGO Group, and Michael Scully, Head of Design at BMW M, spearheaded this project, starting with concept calls and then moving into in-person workshops in Munich. The main goal of the build focused on reflecting 40 years of M3 heritage while also visually echoing LEGO's block-based structure through sharp diagonal graphics and high-contrast colour blocking. 77263's 358 pieces have recreated a vehicle with heavily detailed shaping, especially around the front grille, wheel arches, and rear proportions. The build even integrates two LEGO fork elements to accurately recreate the iconic vertical slats of the classic BMW kidney grille. The livery of the BMW M3 E30 is the most interesting and unique element of the LEGO Speed Champions model. The paint work has been uniquely collaborated between the two global brands, with the Instagram tease giving us a good look at the design consisting of diagonal red, blue, and black graphics on a white base. A large number 40 can also be found on the brick-built hood, referencing the 40th anniversary of the BMW M3. Finally, golden wheel rims and detailing are also expected on the car, which is built in the usual eight-stud-wide Speed Champions format with space for a single LEGO Minifigure. This figure is expected to have an exclusive race suit, matching the unique livery found on the brick-built car. A helmet is also included along with a LEGO wrench accessory. 77263 BMW M3 E30 - 40th Anniversary Edition Set Name - BMW M3 E30 - 40th Anniversary Edition Set Number - 77263 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 358 Minifigures - 1 Price - $29.99 / €27.99 / £22.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 77263 BMW M3 E30 - 40th Anniversary Edition releases on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Will you be picking up this iconic brick-built racer to celebrate 40 years of the M3? How does it compare to 2024's 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars?

A popular, family-friendly LEGO Gift With Purchase is back as the LEGO Group has confirmed that 40885 Duck Family is available from today (the 22nd of May) until the 31st of May 2026. The LEGO Creator-branded promotional item is available with all LEGO purchases over $100 / €100 / £90, just like it was back in February, but this time alongside some sets with limited-time-only double LEGO Insiders points. 40885 Duck Family includes 262 pieces to create a cute brick-built duck family of a mother duck and her three tag-along ducklings. Mother duck is obviously the biggest build in 40885, with her featuring plenty of shades of brown and tan, along with some yellow feet and a yellow beak. The bottom of the beak is connected via a clip and bar hinge, allowing it to move up and down and be angled in various ways, while her legs can be alternated between a standing or swimming position. The three ducklings, meanwhile, have very similar builds, but two of the small animals are coloured yellow and orange, while the third one is coloured white, grey and tan. The ducklings have a lot less articulation than their mother, along with much smaller wings, beaks and eyes. A small side build of a cattail plant placed on a small blue water base is also included in the 262-piece build available from the LEGO shop until the end of this month. 40885 Duck Family Set Name - Duck Family Set Number - 40885 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 262 Minifigures - 0 Availability - Free with LEGO purchases over $100 / €100 / £90 - Shop Now at LEGO Promo Dates - 22nd-31st May 2026 The LEGO Group have also confirmed that LEGO Insiders will be able to get double points on three new, 2026 gaming-themed sets. These are 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8, 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, and 77093 Ocarina of Time - The Final Battle. All three 18+ models will qualify for 40885 Duck Family, but are only available with double Insiders points until the 31st of May 2026. 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8 Set Name - Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8 Set Number - 72050 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,234 Minifigures - 0 Price - $179.99 / €179.99 / £159.99 - Shop Now at LEGO with Double Insiders Points Release Date - 1st April 2026 77093 Ocarina of Time - The Final Battle Set Name - Ocarina of Time - The Final Battle Set Number - 77093 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,003 Minifigures - 3 (Ganon, Link, Princess Zelda) Price - $129.99 / €119.99 / £99.99 - Shop Now at LEGO with Double Insiders Points Release Date - 1st March 2026 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise Set Name - Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise Set Number - 72153 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 6,838 Price - $649.99 / €649.99 / £579.99 - Shop Now at LEGO with Double Insiders Points Release Date - 27th February 2026 Once all of these promotions are finished, we will be in June, and that means a whopping over 120 brand new sets will launch. This even includes the mighty new Middle-earth inspired build of 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith, which will be available alongside an exclusive Gift With Purchase of 40893 The Lord of the Rings: Grond. 40902 Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci is then expected to follow this from the 19th of June 2026. 40885 Duck Family is available as a free Gift With Purchase until the 31st of May 2026, but what do you think? Will you be picking up a qualifying LEGO set to grab the Duck Family before it disappears? And are the double Insiders points enough to tempt you into 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8, 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, or 77093 Ocarina of Time - The Final Battle before the month is out?

After the LEGO Group took us behind the scenes covering an upcoming LEGO Speed Champions BMW set earlier today, the Danish toy manufacturer has now also teased a brand new set for our favourite Italian plumber. In particular, the short social media tease is for the upcoming 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade Machine, which includes a total of 1,367 pieces once it releases on the 1st of August 2026 for $199.99 / €169.99 / £149.99. 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade Machine will be just the second LEGO Super Mario set of 2026, after the release of 72050 Mario Kart - Luigi & Mach 8 in April. The theme, just like LEGO Animal Crossing, has had to take a step back this year while the LEGO Group's gaming budget has been piled into the brand new LEGO Pokémon theme. However, next year, big things are expected from the LEGO Super Mario line, as it was confirmed on Mario Day that Super Mario LEGO Minifigures would finally be coming in 2027. And now the LEGO Group seem to be expanding the Nintendo and Mario universe further with the Italian plumber's "frenemy" Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong has already appeared as a brick-built character with his own wave of course-building sets back in 2023, but on the 1st of August 2026, the powerful and carefree Kong will be getting his own brick-built Arcade Machine. The short Instagram tease already showcases an element and play feature that will be included in the LEGO Arcade Machine, as the video shows a printed version of an iconic DK barrel rolling past. How exactly this rolling barrel will be incorporated in the 18+ display model is currently unknown, but we're guessing a brick-built crank operation will be included in 72051. This will simulate barrels rolling down the iconic Donkey Kong red girder scaffolding, possibly including mini brick-built or printed versions of Donkey Kong, Mario and Pauline, for example. The rest of the build will likely follow another 18+ LEGO Arcade Machine of 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade. However, 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade Machine has almost half the pieces at 1,367, suggesting a much smaller display model, removing some of the more hidden brick-built features and separate PAC-MAN and Ghost display stand. We can still expect however an authentic and detailed recreation of the physical arcade cabinet structure with plenty of classic Donkey Kong branding, prints and hidden details. The signature sloped front, coin door mechanisms, joystick assembly, and the side art gemorety of the classic 1980s Nintendo cabinet should all be recreated in brick-built LEGO form, likely celebrating 45 years since the release of the original Donkey Kong video game. 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade Machine Set Name - Donkey Kong Arcade Machine Set Number - 72051 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,367 Minifigures - 0 Price - $199.99 / €169.99 / £149.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade Machine releases on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Are you excited to see Donkey Kong getting his own 18+ display model after his course-building wave back in 2023? Will you be picking this one up at launch or waiting to see the full reveal? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Super Mario coverage. If you're as excited as we are about the Donkey Kong Arcade Machine joining the LEGO Super Mario line-up, share this post with a fellow Nintendo fan!

We are just days away from Star Wars returning to the big screen, a week away from the release of two brand new LEGO sets from the intergalactic franchise and almost two months until another wave of LEGO Star Wars models are rumoured to launch. In particular, a total of four Star Wars-branded sets are expected to be released on the 1st of August 2026, including the previously revealed 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown. 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown was one of many reveals that took place earlier this month, showcasing another build inspired by The Mandalorian and Grogu film. 415 pieces focus on recreating the 3-armed Sentry Droid with full posability and a single stud shooter on its right arm. A new version of bounty hunter Embo is the highlight Minifigure addition alongside the wolf creature Keibu, who utilises a brand new LEGO wolf/dog mould. Set Name - Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown Set Number - 75451 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 415 Minifigures - 3 (Din Djarin, Grogu, Embo) Price - $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 - Shop Now at LEGO Release Date - 1st August 2026 75453 Sandcrawler While 75451 is based on Mando and Grogu's upcoming adventure, 75453 Sandcrawler takes us all the way back to Season 1 of The Mandalorian. 1,683 pieces recreate an iconic Star Wars Sandcrawler in brick-built LEGO form, this time mostly in dark grey but with some tan, brown and light grey detailing. A brick-built Mudhorn is also included alongside LEGO Minifigures of three grey Jawas, Kuiil, a muddy season 1 version of Mando and Grogu with a new pram build. Set Name - Sandcrawler Set Number - 75453 Age Range - 14+ Piece Count - 1,683 Minifigures - 6 (Din Djarin, Grogu, Kuiil, 3x Jawa) Price - $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 75454 AT-AT All Terrain Armoured Transports are some of the most iconic vehicles in the Star Wars universe, with a brand new brick-built LEGO version releasing this August with 75454 AT-AT. Current rumours indicate this will once again be Mando & Grogu inspired, but whether that's based on the film or previous seasons of the Disney+ series remains unknown. What is confirmed, however, is that the 10+ set includes 1,453 pieces, featuring at least one Minifigure of an Imperial Warlord and retailing for $159.99 / €159.99 / £139.99. Set Name - AT-AT Set Number - 75454 Age Range - 10+ Piece Count - 1,453 Minifigures - TBC Price - $159.99 / €159.99 / £139.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 75455 Boba Fett Last but not least, we're moving away from our two favourite bounty hunters to instead more brick-built figures with 75455 Boba Fett. The 18+ model, from the rumoured price and piece count, looks to be the latest 18+ display figure, following on from 75371 Chewbacca and 75398 C-3PO. The brick-built version of Boba Fett will be based on his Episode 6 appearance and includes a Minifigure version of the character with new prints and a shoulder cape. Set Name - Boba Fett Set Number - 75455 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,544 Minifigures - 1 (Boba Fett) Price - $169.99 / €169.99 / £149.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown, 75453 Sandcrawler, 75454 AT-AT, and 75455 Boba Fett all release on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Are you picking up the full August wave, or is one set standing out above the rest? How does the new Sandcrawler compare to previous LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler releases?

The LEGO Group has officially revealed what is easily one of the biggest and most ambitious LEGO Disney sets of 2026, 43302 Main Street, U.S.A.. Arriving as the new flagship model for the LEGO Disney theme, this enormous 18+ direct-to-consumer release launches on 1st June 2026, bringing one of Disney’s most iconic park locations to life in brick-built form. Featuring a huge 3,899 pieces and retailing for $399.99 / €349.99 / £319.99, 43302 Main Street, U.S.A. recreates a detailed section of Disneyland Park’s historic entrance area through a modular style layout packed with references, accessible interiors and Minifigure storytelling. Drawing comparisons to the layout of LEGO Harry Potter 75978 Diagon Alley, the model uses open-backed buildings mounted on 32x16 baseplates, allowing full access to every scene inside. The set recreates three instantly recognisable Disneyland landmarks, including the Emporium, Disneyland Fire Department and Crystal Arcade. Each structure captures the charm of Main Street U.S.A through ornate Victorian architecture, patriotic red, white and blue decorative banners and authentic signage pulled directly from the real-world park. The Emporium takes centre stage as the largest building of the trio. Inspired by Disneyland’s famous Victorian-style corner store, the structure captures the attraction’s elegant façade through decorative detailing, masonry elements and expansive display windows. Inside, the two-storey building appears packed with brick-built toys, souvenirs, shelving units, cash registers and Disney-themed merchandise, reflecting the bustling atmosphere of Disneyland’s flagship shopping destination. Another standout section comes in the form of the Disneyland Fire Station. The exterior features the classic “Disneyland Fire Dept” signage and the iconic “105” branding positioned above the garage entrance and its distinctive tower. The opening garage door allows space for the included vintage fire truck, while upstairs, the model pays tribute to Walt Disney’s legendary family apartment, one of the most beloved hidden locations within the park’s history. Completing the lineup is the elegant Crystal Arcade, instantly recognisable through its pastel green exterior, decorative gold roof detailing and large curved "Crystal Arcade" sign. The interior continues the retail-focused design language with colourful displays, themed accessories and collectable-inspired details. Across both retail buildings, you can find miniature references to the likes of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, Jungle Cruise and the Haunted Mansion. Beyond the main buildings, 43302 Main Street, U.S.A. also includes several smaller side builds designed to expand the bustling atmosphere of Main Street. A classic red and gold fire truck can be parked inside the Fire Station or displayed out on the street scene, while an additional red and white popcorn food cart build brings extra theme park personality to the finished display, drawing inspiration from Disneyland’s iconic snack stands. No Disney park recreation would be complete without a strong Minifigure lineup, and LEGO Disney 43302 delivers exactly that with 16 LEGO Minifigures in total. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse lead the cast alongside four Dapper Dans performers in their signature barbershop quartet outfits. Also joining them are six adult tourists and two child tourists, many of whom feature exclusive Disney-themed accessories and unique outfits. Builders will be able to spot the Mickey-inspired Minifigure ears and the torsos from Star Wars, Toy Story and Lilo & Stitch, along with the decorative Mickey Mouse balloon accessories. A fire truck driver and a vendor figure also feature to ensure the smooth running of the brick-built LEGO Disney Main Street. 43302 Main Street, U.S.A. Set Name - Main Street, U.S.A.

Just when you thought the LEGO Group had shown off all of their The Mandalorian & Grogu inspired, the Danish toy manufacturer has officially presented another set based on the upcoming blockbuster. In particular, this is 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown, which is available from the 1st of August 2026 for $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 with 415 pieces included. The main build of the set is the 3-armed Sentry Droid, in a similar colour scheme to 2023's LEGO Star Wars mech of 75369 Boba Fett Mech. However, the ramshackle droid is much larger, utilising the majority of the 415 pieces included in the 2026 model and measuring over 14 cm (5.5 inches) tall. Along with the droid's unique three arms, its hands, legs and feet can also be moved and posed in multiple ways. The Sentry droid, with its disfigured rubble-like look, includes just a single stud shooter on its right arm to battle the two main characters, who both appear in this set. A small compartment can be found at the back of the droid, which, once opened by LEGO Grogu, who can fit inside this narrow space, deactivates the figure. Grogu is one of three LEGO Minifigures included in 75451 alongside the returning Din Djarin and a new version of the bounty hunter Embo. He features alongside the wolf creature Keibu, appearing in brick-built LEGO form for the very first time and with a brand new LEGO wolf/dog mould. Mando also includes his jetpack and blaster pistol, while Embo comes equipped with his bowcaster. 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown Set Name - Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown Set Number - 75451 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 415 Minifigures - 3 (Din Djarin, Grogu, Embo) Price - $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 - Shop Now at LEGO Release Date - 1st August 2026 75451 Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown releases on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Will you be picking up this The Mandalorian & Grogu set when it hits shelves?

How does it compare to previous LEGO Star Wars battle packs and mech sets? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Star Wars coverage.

While we had the reveal of eleven LEGO Disney-branded June 2026 sets at the start of this month, a twelfth model is still yet to be officially presented for next month, but luckily, the LEGO Group have saved the best till last. In particular, the latest LEGO Disney direct-to-consumer model and the new flagship set for the theme will launch on the 1st of June 2026: 43302 Disneyland Main Street. The 18+ build includes a total of 3,899 pieces retailing for $399.99 / €399.99 / £359.99, following a modular-style layout. Reports claim it's somewhat similar to LEGO Harry Potter's 75978 Diagon Alley, with open back buildings built on 32x16 baseplates. This time, however, rather than creating the magical shopping street, LEGO are recreating a section of Disneyland Park's Main Street as a highly detailed 18+ build with plenty of Minifigure fun, and Disney-inspired details. 43302 Disneyland Main Street is expected to include a total of three buildings, each on one of those 32x16 baseplates with a fully accessible and open Minifigure scale interior. These buildings include the Emporium, the Firestation and the Crystal Arcade - all historic landmarks found at the real-life park. The Emporium is the largest gift and souvenir shop in Magic Kingdom park, and in fact acts as a corner building with some grand Victorian styling and architecture. The LEGO version will likely feature plenty of masonry bricks and unique detailing to recreate the store's iconic look. Large display windows will also be present, leading us into an interior packed with brick-built Disney merchandise, possibly including some LEGO Disney sets. The Firestation will be another standout building featuring its usual 'Disneyland Fire Dept' and number '105' branding seen above the garage door. This garage door will likely be able to open and close, while the upstairs of the LEGO Disneyland Firestation will include the living quarters. This will likely be modelled after the apartment where Walt Disney famously stayed. Last but not least, we have the Crystal Arcade, which is located adjacent to the previously mentioned Emporium. Just like the Emporium, the Crystal Arcade is another charming location offering several souvenirs like plushies, tsum tsums, and accessories. All of these will likely appear in LEGO form inside the Minifigure-scale building, while the outside will focus on the huge Crystal Arcade sign and iconic and historic architecture. The $400 model also includes several side builds alongside the buildings, which will likely each include a small section of cobbled Main Street paving. The first is a classic fire truck, designed to fit perfectly inside the Firestation or to be displayed on the street, with its bright red and gold colour scheme. The second is a freestanding food stand which will likely be themed after the park's famous popcorn or churro carts, complete with a small umbrella. Last but not least, this magical 18+ model can't be complete without an incredible lineup of 14 LEGO Minifigures. These include four Dapper Dans with their signature barbershop quartet attire, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, six adult tourists and two child tourists. The tourists Minifigure supposedly includes exclusive Star Wars, Mickey Mouse and Stitch torsos along with Mickey ears and various other exclusive Disney-themed LEGO accessories. 43302 Disneyland Main Street Set Name - Disneyland Main Street Set Number - 43302 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,899 Minifigures - 14 (4x Dapper Dans, Mickey, Minnie, 6x adult tourists, 2x kid tourists) Price - $399.99 / €399.99 / £359.99 Release Date - 1st June 2026 43302 Disneyland Main Street releases on the 1st of June 2026, but what do you think?

From Road Bikes to large Middle-earth-inspired city builds, this summer, the LEGO Icons theme is bringing a whole range of creativity and interesting building techniques to its ever-growing lineup. The latest rumour suggests we'll be seeing another new addition to the 18+ branded theme with 11374 Pinball Machine. Launching in just over a months time on the 1st of July, the 2026 model includes a total of 2,274 pieces retailing for $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99. We've seen the LEGO Icons theme previously tackle an arcade machine with 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade, and LEGO Ideas released 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine last year, but 11374 Pinball Machine will mark our first brick-built recreation of the classic arcade game. And not only that, the LEGO Pinball Machine will be Classic Space-inspired with plenty of graphics, easter eggs and more from the iconic LEGO line. Based on the current rumours, we expect 11374 to take the form of a large brick-built retro pinball cabinet in a similar size and functionality as the previously mentioned 2023 model of 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade. The machine may feature an angled playfield, a tall backbox display section, and a detailed exterior shaped to resemble a real vintage pinball cabinet. The 18+ model is expected to heavily lean into LEGO Classic Space branding, starting with the exterior. This will likely utilise bright blue, light bluish grey, black and yellow colour blocking, with printed or stickered Classic Space logos decorating the cabinet side and scoreboard area. The playfield might depict a miniature space-themed environment with brick-built planets, rockets, satellites, craters and alien scenery, creating a fully functional LEGO Classic Space pinball game. Mechanically, the set is expected to include a range of simplified, brick-built pinball functions. We may see moving bumpers, launch mechanisms, spinning obstacles, ramps and score indicators using a range of clever building techniques that commonly appear in 18+ branded LEGO sets. The back of the cabinet may even open up to reveal the internal mechanisms of the Pinball Machine. If the back of 11374 does open up, then this may be the perfect place to house the two LEGO Minifigures supposedly included in the July 2026 model. Both of these are exclusive figures of a light blue classic spaceman and a spacebaby with the same colouring. Alternatively, the two Minifigures may also be involved in the actual Pinball game, interacting with other brick-built figures, creatures and aliens in an 18+ set full of intergalactic possibilities. 11374 Pinball Machine Set Name - Pinball Machine Set Number - 11374 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 2,274 Minifigures - 2 (Light Blue Astronaut, Light Blue Spacebaby) Price - $199.99 / €199.99 / £179.99 Release Date - 1st July 2026 11374 Pinball Machine releases on the 1st of July 2026, but what do you think? Will this Classic Space-inspired build earn a place in your LEGO Icons collection? How does it compare to 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade as a brick-built arcade set? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, and check out all our latest LEGO Icons coverage. If you're as excited as we are about this Classic Space pinball rumour, share this post with a fellow LEGO fan who needs to know.

After months of hype, anticipation, leaks and much more, the LEGO Group have finally officially revealed 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith. The LEGO Icons branded model is launching on the 1st of June 2026 as the latest Middle-earth inspired set and the brand new Lord of the Rings flagship set. The large-scale display model brings the legendary capital of Gondor to life in a beautifully designed brick-built fashion, celebrating The Lord of the Rings 25th Anniversary The 18+ model includes an incredible 8,278 pieces, making it the largest ever LEGO Lord of the Rings set and currently the biggest set of 2026. We've already had one LOTR-branded LEGO set in 2026 so far, with this March's 11373 The Lord of the Rings: Sauron's Helmet, but the brick-built interpretation of the capital city of Gondor sees the return of LOTR LEGO Minifigures, with ten of them included in 11377, which retails for a whopping $649.99 / €649.99 / £579.99. The build itself is on a similar scale to 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr and utilises the same technique that the 2024 model did of creating Minifigure-scale interiors, but with exterior details built in a microscale. This is mainly because Minas Tirith, acting as the capital city of Gondor, is absolutely huge. The city is built into a mountain, expands across seven levels, and is surrounded by a great defensive wall known as the Ramas Echor. With its hybrid design, 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith perfectly captures the sheer verticality of the White City in brick-built LEGO form. The microscale exterior recreates a predominantly white facade of Minas Tirith, showcasing all seven gates and their levels. This is heavily centred on the massive Rock Pier, a sharp, ship-like stone outcropping that cuts through the centre of Minas Tirith. Like Barad-dur, the rear of the model is entirely Minifigure scale with plenty of iconic details and interactive play functions. The main feature inside is the throne room of Gondor, which takes up most of the back of the structure with its large white throne build and towering yet beautiful black and white pillars of the room itself. Along with the Steward's throne, a large table is also included to recreate the dining scene from The Return of the King. Several detachable sections are also included within the 18+ build. These removable modules hide smaller Minifigure scale scenes from the films, such as the Archives, where research into the One Ring takes place, the Houses of Healing and the chamber containing the Palantír. Sections of the outer defensive wall can also be removed and rotated to reveal some of these rooms and further areas of the brick-built White City. Alongside the huge display build, the set includes ten LEGO Minifigures connected to Gondor and the events surrounding the defence of the city. These include Gandalf the White with Shadowfax, Aragorn wearing the crown of Gondor, Arwen, Faramir, Pippin Took and Denethor, alongside four fully armoured Gondor soldiers. The soldiers each feature unique helmet designs and printed shields, while several characters include new armour prints, cloth capes, and detailed LOTR-themed accessories. 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith Set Name - The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith Set Number - 11377 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 8,278 Minifigures - 10 (Gandalf the White, King Aragorn, Pippin, Denethor, Faramir, Arwen, 4x Gondor Soldier) Price - $649.99 / €649.99 / £579.99 - Shop Now at LEGO Release Date - 1st June 2026 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith releases on the 1st of June 2026, but what do you think?

2026 is the year of LEGO and Pokémon, and while the Danish toy manufacturers may have only released just three sets and a couple of promotional items for the Japanese theme, an action-packed summer wave awaits us in just a couple of months. Current rumours suggest that we could be seeing up to 16 sets released in August for the LEGO Pokémon. However, some reports have stated that some of these may actually be 2027 releases, along with the wave including a mix of SMART Play-inspired models and further 18+ branded builds just like the three sets that were released in February. And one of these 18+ models has been leaked today, as the UK Amazon site has provided a first image of 72160 Arcanine. The summer 2026 set will become the second-cheapest and smallest LEGO Pokémon set, retailing for $109.99 / €99.99 / £89.99 and including a total of 1,190 pieces. While there may be a substantial difference between Arcanine and February's 72151 Eevee, this is, in fact, proportionate to the actual sizing of the two in-game creatures. As the name suggests, 72160 recreates the iconic Fire Type Pokémon Arcanine, first introduced in Generation I and now appearing as a large brick-built display model from the 1st of August 2026. Two further brick-built 18+ Pokémon sets are also expected to launch on this date of 72150 Munchlax and 72168 Rauquaza. LEGO Arcanine primarily utilises three main colours: a vibrant orange for the main body, a muted tan mix for the massive fur sections, and solid black for the pattern detailing. The layered tan mane literally surrounds the Pokémons face, which features an open mouth showcasing the creature's pink tongue and two sharp white teeth. Exclusive prints are used for Pokédex number 59's two eyes and cute black nose. Moving away from the head, which includes plenty of movable parts, including Arcanine's ears, the main orange torso and thighs heavily feature integrated black detailing to replicate the signature tiger stripes. These stripes are entirely brick built, utilising black wedge plates and tiles, for example, which spread across Arcanine's torso and legs, which again have full posability, allowing plenty of display options. Finally, the Generation I's tail is another significant element of the build, emerging from the back an enormous cloud-like structure that curves upward and to the right side of the model. This again features more tan colouring like the rest of Arcanine's brick-built fur. Plenty of large curved pieces create a bulbous, puffy appearance for the 2026 display model, which reportedly also includes a hidden surprise during the build that references the wonderful world of Pokémon. 72160 Arcanine Set Name - Arcanine Set Number - 72160 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,190 Minifigures - 0 Price - $109.99 / €99.99 / £89.99 Release Date - 1st August 2026 72160 Arcanine releases on the 1st of August 2026, but what do you think? Will you be adding this iconic Generation I Fire Type to your LEGO Pokémon display? How does it compare to the February wave starters like 72151 Eevee?

After all the mayhem of releases on the 1st of June 2026, alongside the exclusive The Lord of the Rings promo of 40893 The Lord of the Rings: Grond, further new and returning LEGO Gift With Purchases are expected for June 2026. Even though we're still over two weeks away from the summer month of June, rumours are circulating that a brand new GWP will be released, 40902 Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci. The 18+ model is the latest LEGO tribute set, following on from the likes of 40595 Tribute to Galileo Galilei and last year's 40766 Tribute to Jane Austen's Books. This time, however, 40902 and its 251 pieces celebrate Leonardo da Vinci: one of history's most influential inventors, artists, and engineers, who previously appeared as a LEGO Minifigure in January 2025's 10363 Leonardo da Vinci's Flying Machine. Leonardo da Vinci will return as a LEGO Minifigure in 40902, just like Galileo Galilei and Jane Austen appeared in their respective tribute LEGO sets. Alongside the figure, which is unconfirmed to be exclusive or the same variant as seen in last year's LEGO Icons model, will likely be a compact diorama of da Vinci's on a standard 18+ black base. The front of the workshop will likely be entirely open and perfectly recreate the period-accurate scene out of LEGO bricks. We can expect various LEGO furniture builds, including a workspace or a desk, along with some small historical accessories. LEGO may vene include small-scale representations of da Vinci's iconic engineering concepts and artistic works in the 2026 Gift With Purchase. It would be great to see a Minifigure-scale print of Mona Lisa to go alongside the LEGO Art version of 31213 Mona Lisa. 40902 Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci Set Name - Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci Set Number - 40902 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 251 Minifigures - 1 (Leonardo da Vinci) Availability - TBC Promo Dates - Mid/Late June 2026 40902 Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci is rumoured for mid/late June 2026, but what do you think? Will this be on your radar as a GWP, or does the da Vinci theme leave you wanting more? How does it compare to the earlier Galileo Galilei and Jane Austen tribute sets?
