Cooper has been one of the staple characters in the LEGO DREAMZzz series but in Summer 2024 his Minifigure and character will be changing. Along with the rest of our favourite characters from the TV series, there will be a dark, evil version of Cooper named Dooper. He's included in the officially revealed set of 71484 Cooper’s Robot Dinosaur C-Rex along with the updated normal version which now embraces robotic elements. Two more Minifigures are also included of the good and bad version of Izzy totalling our Minifigure count to four. Sneak is included using those unique moulded pieces along with the brand new raven mould/piece again. A piece count of 917 for only $99.99 was already good enough but now with four/five Minifigures that's even better! And of course, we're not done with the set just yet as we have the main build itself of Cooper's Robot Dinosaur C-Rex. As the name suggests, the model is a brick-built T-Rex but the dinosaur is robotic, signified by many robotic elements and a funky colour scheme. Bright blue and red make up the main colours C-Rex which also includes an array of stickers from the different objects used to create Cooper’s Robot Dinosaur C-Rex. 71484 Cooper’s Robot Dinosaur C-Rex Set Name - Cooper’s Robot Dinosaur C-Rex Set Number - 71484 Ages - 9+ Piece Count - 917 Price - $79.99 Release Date - 1st August 2024 71484 Cooper’s Robot Dinosaur C-Rex releases on the 1st of August 2024 along with the rest of the Summer wave of LEGO DREAMZzz sets but what do you think?

The floodgates are ever so slightly opening as online retail site juguetron.mx has given us official images of three LEGO DREAMZzz sets. All three along with plenty more LEGO DREAMZzz models including the first D2C for theme release on the 1st of August 2024. In this article we'll be looking at 71478 The Never Witch’s Midnight Raven which retails for $99.99 for a total of 1,203 pieces. 71478 is a large brick-built version of the Never Witch's Midnight Raven which is coloured in the sinister colours of black, dark blue and purple. The raven includes a beak which can be opened and closed, moveable brick-built wings which include some hints of pink, and a cauldron and a small shack which perfectly sits on the raven's back. As an alternative build, the shack can be removed and legs can be added to make it come alive. Along with the raven which takes up most of the 1,023 pieces included are five Minifigures. These include the evil versions of Izzy and Logan who are supposedly named Dizzy and Dogan along with Mateo, a new character in a wheelchair called Astrid and the Never Witch herself. A smaller Minifigure scale of a Raven is also included as a new mould/piece. 71478 The Never Witch’s Midnight Raven Set Name - The Never Witch’s Midnight Raven Set Number - 71478 Ages - 9+ Piece Count - 1,203 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st August 2024 The first of another exciting wave of LEGO DREAMZzz sets but what do you think? Will you be picking this up once it releases on the 1st of August 2024? Are you a fan of the unlicensed theme? What other sets are you hoping LEGO release for the theme's summer wave?

The LEGO Disney theme has already seen a wide range of sets release in 2024 with the biggest, and possibly the best, of these being 43242 Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs Cottage. But now the LEGO Disney is expanding further with a brand new wave of models releasing on the 1st of June 2024. A total of 11 sets will become available for the licensed theme including two 4+ models and a brand new 18+ D2C. Our first set is a brand new Mini Disney 12+ set of 40720 Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle. Like previous models, including January 2024s 40708 Mini Disney Ariel's Palace, 40720 will retail for $39.99 with 528 pieces. Sadly, the last two microscale LEGO Disney sets have stopped including exclusive Minifigures. Hopefully 40720 Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle doesnt continue with this trend. The two 4+ models of this Summer wave are 43235 Ariel's Music Stage and 43254 Ariel's Crystal Cavern. Both, as their names suggest, are Ariel and the Little Mermaid based suggesting that there may be the possibly to combine the two models. 43254 Ariel's Crystal Cavern with 141 pieces and hopefully one or two minidolls including the likes of Ariel and Prince Eric for a retail price of $29.99. One of the most interesting sets of the way has to be 43240 Maleficent's Dragon Form. Even though the $69.99 model includes minidolls, a brick built version of her majestic dragon beast will be an extremely detailed and fun build with new wing moulds. Sleeping beauty and Prince Phillip will also be included in minidoll form, hopeuflly updated with brand new prints and facial expressions. Finally, lets focus on two more highlights of the wave: our first ever LEGO Disney Lion King sets. Both 43243 Simba The Lion King Cub and 43247 Simba will release on the 1st of June 2024 based on the 1994 film which was then recreated 25 years later. Now to celberate 30 years, LEGO are releasing brick built versions of our favourite characters such as Simba, Zazu, Timon, Pumbaa and many more. 43247 Simba in particular will be an exciting best seller. The 18+ set will retail for $129.99 with 1,445 pieces used to create a brick built version of the lion cub. Those avid LEGO fans will know that this LEGO Disney set leaked as earlier as last February in that infamous survey leak. Now, only a couple more months are left until we'll get our hands on our first LEGO Lion King set and all these other Disney based models... 40720 Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle Set Name - Mini Disney Sleeping Beauty Castle Set Number - 40720 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 528 Price - $39.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43235 Ariel's Music Stage Set Name - Ariel's Music Stage Set Number - 43235 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 60 Price - $15.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43240 Maleficent's Dragon Form Set Name - Maleficent's Dragon Form Set Number - 43240 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 583 Price - $69.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43243 Simba The Lion King Cub Set Name - Simba The Lion King Cub Set Number - 43243 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 222 Price - $19.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43244 Elsa's Ice Palace Set Name - Elsa's Ice Palace Set Number - 43244 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 630 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43245 The Magical Madrigal House Set Name - The Magical Madrigal House Set Number - 43245 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 1,560 Price - $159.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43247 Simba Set Name - Simba Set Number - 43247 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,445 Price - $129.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43251 Antonio's Animal Sanctuary Set Name - Antonio's Animal Sanctuary Set Number - 43251 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 310 Price - TBC Release Date - 1st June 2024 43252 Moana's Flowerpot Set Name - Moana's Flowerpot Set Number - 43252 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 619 Price - TBC Release Date - 1st June 2024 43254 Ariel's Crystal Cavern Set Name - Ariel's Crystal Cavern Set Number - 43254 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 141 Price - $29.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 43276 Snow White's Jewellery Box Set Name - Snow White's Jewellery Box Set Number - 43276 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 358 Price - $44.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 That's 11 brand new LEGO Disney sets all hitting shelves from the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think?

2024 has been the year for LEGO and Space with an array of models releasing from playsets to 18+ display models and now another GWP. We've already seen a LEGO Space-themed Gift With Purchase release in 2024 of 40712 Microscale Rocket Launchpad and now another one will be coming very soon. In particular, this is the 40687 Alien Space Diner which releases in just over a months time on the 14th of May 2024. With such an action-packed, Space-heavy few months so far from the LEGO theme, this GWP further expands our range of intergalactic models with the 239 pieces included in 40687 used to create a Diner for Aliens travelling across the infinite amount of LEGO galaxies. The GWP features a small space-themed diner which is similar to previous brick-built diners but with added space accessories. For example, some stars, a small rocket and a UFO are all included in 40687's Alien Space Diner. A sign for the the diner is also included which is sadly a sticker not a print of the word 'DINER' in a cool space-like formatting. A diner can't be complete without a chef and this chef is slightly different as it's a green alien. The alien chef is brick-built and includes three eyes along with two arms in which he can old his pots and pans. Two Classic Space Minifigures are also included with one of them being white and the other being orange with the usual Classic Space on their torsos. 40687 Alien Space Diner GWP Set Name - Alien Space Diner GWP Set Number - 40687 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 239 Price - TBC GWP Release Date - 14th May 2024 Our second LEGO Space GWP becomes available from the 14th of May 2024 but what do you think?

Similar to the last couple of years, the LEGO Architecture theme will only be getting one, big 18+ model release in 2024. 2022 saw 21058 Great Pyramid of Giza and 2023 saw 21060 Himeji Castle but neither will be as big as 2024s 21061 Notre Dame Cathedral. The 1st of June 2024 set will retail for $229.99 with a total of 4,383 pieces making it the biggest LEGO Architecture set ever. The famous Cathedral of the Notre Dame is located in the city centre of France, Paris and has been there since it was built back in 1163. However, only five years ago back in 2019, a massive fire engulfed the Cathedral resulting in its closure as repairs took place. Luckily Notre Dame Cathedral is set to reopen last there year and will be getting the brick-built LEGO treatment to celebrate its reopening. In LEGO form, the microscale Notre Dame Cathedral will be around two baseplates in length, similar to the largest LEGO Icons Modular Buildings. The roof and towers of the Notre Dame can be easily removed allowing access to an extremely detailed interior. Inside the interior which continues with the microscale theres beautifully crafted columns, arches and a rounded nave. The exterior of the Cathedral will have the iconic rose windows and central spires with some fun but highly detailed sculptures. The biggest LEGO Architecture set ever will also be finished with a printed black display plaque with a highly detailed information sheet. This is a first for the LEGO Architecture theme but is extremely welcome and necessary for such a historic and religious buildings 21061 Notre Dame Cathedral Set Name - Notre Dame Cathedral Set Number - 21061 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 4,383 Price - $229.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 The biggest LEGO Architecture set ever releases on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 21061 Notre Dame Cathedral once it releases in just under two months time? What other religious buildings are you hoping for from the 18+ theme?

Exotic animals, the never-ending depths of space and now historic real-world art make up LEGO Art's lineup of sets in 2024 according to the latest rumours. In particular, it's being reported that after 31212 The Milky Way Galaxy releases on the 14th of May 2024, 31213 Mona Lisa will be our third LEGO Art set of the year. It will release on the 1st of June 2024 retailing for $99.99 with a total of 1,503 pieces. Unsurprisingly, the brick-built 18+ model will be a recreation of the renowned painting the Mona Lisa. Italian Artist Leonardo da Vinci was the one who painted the art all the way back in the 1500s. Today, the painting is celebrated for its enigmatic expression, meticulous detail, and the use of the sfumato technique, which creates soft transitions between colours and tones in an extremely detailed and artistic manner. It'll be interesting to see exactly how LEGO recreates this iconic piece of art with the 18+ LEGO Art model of 31213 Mona Lisa. The price and piece count suggest it could be similar to other forms of real-life art recreated in brick-built form such as 31208 Hokusai - The Great Wave and 21333 Vincent Van Gogh - The Starry Night. If 31213 was lucky enough to have a Minifigure version of Leonardo da Vinci then it would surely be a best seller... 31213 Mona Lisa Set Name - Mona Lisa Set Number - 31213 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,503 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st June 2024 31213 Mona Lisa will be the third and most likely the final LEGO Art set of 2024 once it releases on the 1st of June 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 31213 to hang on your wall? What other real-life art would you like to see in brick-built LEGO form? Let us know your opinions and thoughts in the comments below.

The LEGO Star Wars May 2024 models are already starting to be announced with both 75378 BARC Speeder Escape and 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator being officially revealed just the other day. May does not only mark a new wave of LEGO Star Wars sets however, it also marks the biggest day of the year for Star Wars fans: Star Wars Day. As with every year, LEGO will once again be celebrating Star Wars Day with this new wave of sets and a brand new D2C of 75382 UCS TIE Interceptor. Along with a brand new 18+ model for the licensed theme, a brand new Gift With Purchase will also be releasing from the 1st of May 2024 in order to celebrate all these brand new releases. In particular, this GWP is 40686 Battle Droid Carrier which includes a total of 262 pieces available from the 1st of May 2024. Sadly, 40686 will most likely only last around a week but will be free with any LEGO Star Wars purchases over the threshold of $160. The first Battle Droid Carrier in LEGO form released over 20 years ago back in 2001 of 7126 Battle Droid Carrier. 2024 looks to be a tribute/remake of that original LEGO Star Wars set with 100 more pieces utilising the more modern and technical building techniques. This time as well, one more Minifigure will be included with six of the regular Battle Droids and two blue Battle Droid pilots. 40686 Battle Droid Carrier GWP Set Name - Battle Droid Carrier GWP Set Number - 40686 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 262 Price - GWP over $160 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40686 Battle Droid Carrier is this year's May The Fourth GWP with it releasing in less than a months time but what do you think? Are you looking forward to a new modern Battle Droid Carrier? What sets do you plan on picking up on the 4th May 2024? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

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

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

2024 has already been a busy year for LEGO City as its played a massive part in LEGO's resurgence in Space-themed models. The non-licensed theme saw a whole subtheme of Space branded sets release at the beginning of the year, which were soon followed by 60439 Space Science Lab releasing on the 1st of April 2024. And exactly a month later another Space-branded LEGO City set will become available... This time it's 60441 Space Explorers Pack which releases on the 1st of May 2024 exclusive to LEGO Stores and LEGO shop@home. The 2024 model includes a total of 426 pieces retailing for an extremely friendly retail price of $29.99. Such an acceptable price-per-piece ratio isn't common for LEGO City and this is mainly because 60441 Space Explorers Pack is a '3 sets in 1' model. The three sets in this singular $30 model are three sets which all released on the 1st of January 2024 as part of LEGO's new Space branding. These include a polybag of 30663 Space Hoverbike and two generic playsets of 60428 Space Construction Mech and 60430 Interstellar Spaceship. Separately these models would cost $35.97 indicating that 60441 is a much more cost-effective way of getting all three of the 2024 LEGO City models. 60441 Space Explorers Pack Set Name - Space Explorers Pack Set Number - 60441 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 426 Price - $29.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 The 3-in1 LEGO City set of 60441 Space Explorers Pack releases on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 60441 in a months time? Do you like these more cost effective models? What else do you want to see from the LEGO City theme in 2024?

Yesterday LEGO revealed a brand new LEGO Despicable Me 4 set as part of its April Fools prank but there was a lot more to the fake set than what meets the eye. 75553 Supersized Tim became another fake LEGO set as the Danish toy company showed off a lifesized brick-built version of the yellow Minion Tim. However, along with pictures of the fake model, a countdown also began to the debut of the LEGO Despicable Me 4 theme. The countdown finishes on the 3rd of April 2024 (tomorrow) indicating the official presentation of four LEGO Despicable Me 4 sets will take place. Amongst these brand new child-friendly LEGO models is 75583 which will be a brick-built recreation of Gru's House. The villain-turned-good guy's house will include a total of 868 pieces retailing for $99.99 making it the most expansive Minions-based LEGO set yet. Gru's House is an iconic location in the Despicable Me 4 world with the building showcasing Gru's dark and evilness. Compared to all the other houses in the neighbourhood which are painted white, Gru's is a mix of black and dark grey with a dead garden out front. He even spreads some of his evilness to his neighbours by making his dog Kyle wee on the green bushes. 75583 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion will likely be similar to another iconic house which appeared in brick-built form early last year of 43217 Up House. Even though this LEGO Disney set retailed for a lot less at only $59.99, Gru's House will still portray some similar characteristics but just at a big, more spacious and play-friendly scale. The difference in the price will most likely be because Gru's house is naturally bigger, particularly from the front-on angle. LEGO may also have listened to fan complaints and included a much more expansive interior, stretching a few studs further back and including a lot more of the iconic rooms from all four Despicable Me films. Hopefully, the lab, the girls' room, the kitchen, the sitting room and much more are included for $99.99. And the set can't be complete without a few Minifigures. For a $100 price tag, a total of nine characters/Minifigures are included. These are the Minions of Tim, Mel and Jerry along with the Gru family themselves of Gru, Lucy, Gru Junior, Margo, Edith and Agnes. We expect quite a few of these to be exclusive to 75583 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion once it releases on the 1st of May 2024. 75583 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion Set Name - Minions and Gru's Family Mansion Set Number - 75583 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 868 Price - $99.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 75583 Minions and Gru's Family Mansion releases on the 1st of May 2024 as the biggest model of the waver but what do you think? Is this the best set of the upcoming Despicable Me 4 wave? What would you like to see included in Gru's House? And are you excited to see these popular characters in LEGO Minifigure form?

LEGO and Disney's partnership continues to expand as the latest animated film from the movie franchise is set to be replicated in brick-built LEGO form. Last year saw an array of LEGO Disney sets released to celebrate a grand total of 100 years of Disney. 2024 has continued to see a range of LEGO Disney-themed sets with the latest presentation from LEGO showcasing another LEGO Disney Pixar coming in just a months time. 2023 saw 43217 'Up' House based on the extremely moving Disney Pixar movie Up. And in 2024 we'll see LEGO recreate a scene from another Disney Pixar theme, this time a brand new one as an Inside Out set will be releasing on the 1st of May 2024. 43248 is the lucky set number to be based on the animated film which sees its sequel release in June. Today's presentation confirmed that 43248 will be tied into the Inside Out 2 movie with branding appearing on the side of the LEGO Disney box which hits shelves beginning on the 1st of May 2024. 43248 is entitled Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes and will retail for $34.99 with a total of 394 pieces. The LEGO Disney looks to carry on the now-retired LEGO Dots theme with two brick-built cubes that can be customised using different pieces. LEGO states there are nine different 'mood plates' which includes our main characters and emotions of Joy, Sadness, Anxiety and all the rest. These large brick-built cubes sit on a colourful display stand along with two exclusive Minidolls of Joy and Anxiety. 43248 Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes Set Name - Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes Set Number - 43248 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 394 Price - $34.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 43248 Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes release on the 1st of May 2024 what do you think? Are you happy LEGO is making sets based on Inside Out 2? What other Pixar sets would you like to see in brick-built form? Would you prefer 43248 to include Minifigures rather than Minidolls?

The LEGO Space reveals in 2024 just keep on coming as we have two brand new LEGO store exclusives releasing on the 1st of May 2024. Both are Space-related and come under the LEGO Miscellaneous line of models which sees a range of fun and random builds released each year. And 2024 will see 40715 Alien Pack and 40716 Alien Planet Habitat become available on shelves. The latter of these of 40716 Alien Planet Habitat we'll be covering in today's article as LEGO officially presented the May 2024 model earlier today. As the name suggests, 40716 is a brick-built model of the alien's habitat and the planet and landscape in which they call home. Just like 40715, more brick-built aliens are included in 40716, this time only three but are still just as fun, wacky, colourful and friendly. The main build instead is the two habitat builds for the aliens on their extraterrestrial planet. These habitat builds are again extremely colourful and wacky, using a range of interesting pieces to create the landscape and out-of-this-world vegetation. Sadly no Minifigure is included in 40716 but it does include around 30 more pieces at 206 for the exact same retail price of $14.99. 40716 Alien Planet Habitat Set Name - Alien Planet Habitat Set Number - 40716 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 206 Price - $14.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40716 Alien Planet Habitat further adds to the range of Space-themed models in 2024 as it releases on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Do you like these fun and wacky brick-built aliens? What else would you add to the LEGO store-exclusive set? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The LEGO Space reveals in 2024 just keep on coming as we have two brand new LEGO store exclusives releasing on the 1st of May 2024. Both are Space-related and come under the LEGO Miscellaneous line of models which sees a range of fun and random builds released each year. And 2024 will see 40715 Alien Pack and 40716 Alien Planet Habitat become available on shelves. The former of these of 40715 Alien Pack we'll be covering in today's article as LEGO officially presented the May 2024 model earlier today. As the name suggests, 40715 is a brick-built collection of fun and cute LEGO aliens. Our extraterrestrial friends are built with a range of pieces and colours including greens, pinks, yellows, oranges and more. Even though all are different, four out of six of them include an exclusive 1x1 eyeprint. Along with all the fun and wacky aliens, we get a small build of this foreign planet that they call home. This, like the aliens, is a mix of different colours and utilizes a range of pieces to create the strange plants and landscape. A single astronaut Minifigure is also included. She comes with the Classic Space torso in white along with a small blue and grey space buggy. 40715 Alien Pack Set Name - Alien Pack Set Number - 40715 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 181 Price - $14.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 40715 Alien Pack further adds to the range of Space-themed models in 2024 as it releases on the 1st of May 2024 but what do you think? Do you like the cute and colourful brick-built aliens? What else would you include in the $15 2024 set? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

2024 marks 25 years of the LEGO Star Wars theme and we've already seen two exclusive Minifigures revealed to coincide with celebrations. These are ARC Trooper Fives in 75387 Boarding the Tantive IV and then Darth Malek in 75379 R2-D2 which both became available starting the 1st of March 2024. But in just a months time we'll be getting our third of five LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary Minifigures. This is a Veteran of the Clone Wars and a popular character who appeared in the spin-off movie Rogue One, Saw Gerrera. He will is fully exclusive like the other two Minifigures and stands on an exclusive LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary printed piece. The Minifigure of Saw Gerrera includes Finn's hair piece from the Rise of Skywalker along with a cape and a couple of armour pieces and printing to complete his fierce look. The LEGO Star Wars set that this exclusive Saw Gerrera appears in is 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator which will retail for $69.99 with a total of 640 pieces. The Sith Infiltrator is a heavily modified version of a Star Courier and the personal starship of Darth Maul. The starship was last seen in brick-built LEGO form in 2015 with 75096 Stih Infiltrator which retailed for $89.99 with only 662 pieces. Clearly, 75383 is cheaper and slightly smaller than 2015's 75096 but this is mainly due to it including less of the larger front wing pieces that were used in 75096. 75383 is of course ever so slightly smaller in its build anyway but still includes three probe droids, a couple of shooters, different hatches and elements to open up and a small cockpit for Darth Maul. The Sith Lord is also lucky enough to have his tiny speeder included in 75383 too. Moving away from the build, we've not done with the Minifigure lineup just yet. Along with an exclusive Saw Gerrera as the 25th Anniversary Minifigure, we'll also be getting Qui-Gon Jinn, a young Anakin Skywalker and of course, Darth Maul who comes with a red lightsaber. A fairly lacklustre Minifigure lineup when you consider the $69.99 price tag but LEGO will argue that the exclusive Minifigure alone deserves a high price. 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator Set Name - Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator Set Number - 75383 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 640 Price - $69.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 So 75383 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator becomes the third set to include an exclusive 25th Anniversary Minifigure once it releases on 1st May 2024 but what do you think? Are you happy with Saw Gerrera being the exclusive Minifigure? Would you want a bigger yet more expensive Sith Infiltrator with more Minifigures? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

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

A Minifigures series which it feels like we've known about for many, many months has finally been officially revealed and is the second of three series releasing in 2024. Even before 71045 Series 25 hit shelves we already had leaked images of the next LEGO Minifigures series which was scheduled to be released four months later. But as that release date edges ever closer LEGO has officially presented this next CMF instalment. The second CMF series of 2024 that we're discussing is the previously rumoured 71046 Series 26. But the collectable LEGO isn't just the 26th numbered series, it's an entire series based on LEGO's recent exploration into Space. The series will include a range of colourful classic Spacemen or Space-themed Minifigures from past LEGO Space themes along with a mix of new ones once it releases on the 1st of May 2024. A ton of references to LEGO Classic Space, including a Classic Space robot, a retro Spacewoman, an M-Tron redux, an Ice Planet redux accompanied by a Space Penguin, and a mutated Blacktron are included in the series. Alongside these are more modern figures such as an alien in a UFO costume, a grey alien tourist, an alien insectoid, a modern astronaut character, an Orion Minifigure and a Space Nurse. List of Minifigures Green Alien in a UFO costume - A new costume in the long list of LEGO Minifigure costumes is this minifigure dressed as a flying saucer. Our Earth is printed on the back of the figure whilst the rest of the body is entirely black with stars. The exclusive green Minifigure head is under a glass dome. Robot Human Suit for Tiny Aliens - The Minifigure is in a brown suit, controlled by small green aliens, two of which are printed microfigures. Space Nurse with Pink Space Baby - This space nurse comes with a water bottle to feed the exclusive pink space baby. Robot Chef - The chef has new legs and a green glass ball on his head. Accessories include a whisk and a cooking pot. Modern Female Astronaut - This female astronaut dons a suit for space trips to explore the galaxy. The suit has controls, a lamp and a camera. Grey Alien Tourist - This grey alien with short legs explores the galaxy with his camera. The LEGO Minifigure comes with a Hawaiian shirt, Earth Love shirt, shorts, backpack and hat. ICE Planet Redux with Space Penguin - ICE Planet 2002 was the name of the series that was introduced to LEGO Space in 1993. The new helmet is a modern take on the old visors that the minifigures wore in 1993. A trans orange chainsaw is also included along with a penguin in the ICE Planet look. Retro Spacewoman with Dog (female version of Series 17 space Minifigure) - The Retro Spacewoman has a blaster as an accessory. Also included is a robot space mastiff. M-Tron Redux - The M-Tron Space minifigures came onto the market in 1990, and there is now a replenishment in this LEGO collection series. The legs are printed, and he holds a red gripper for the transport box in his hand and a backpack on his back. Orian Minifigure - This Minifigure is almost completely translucent with translucent Minifigure elements, hair piece and accessories. Mutated BlackTron - This minifigure is also a homage to an old LEGO Space theme, this time from Blacktron II from 1991. Not only does a mutated leg protrude from the suit with the Blacktron II logo, but also an additional green arm. The accessories included are two blasters and a breathing apparatus. Alien Insectoid - The dark blue alien has a special head with spider-like jaw claws. It has a wing element on the back. The Packaging & Checklist The second Minifigure series of 2024 coincides with LEGO's recent push for Space in 2024 with plenty of branding on a range of sets in many different themes. That Space branding is further exemplified here in 71046. The continuation of the blind boxes sees eight of the twelve Minifigures represented with a beautiful purple background behind all of the exclusive figures. A slash of grey with the classic space logo can also be seen on the box. The unique purple for a CMF series continues on the checklist where a couple of hints of pink are also included. The aim of the purple and pink is to create a mystical galaxy far away from our own Milky Way. A small Series 26 logo can be seen in the top right of the checklist along with the twelve to collect sign which has become the norm over the last couple of years. 71046 Series 26 Space Set Name - Series 26 Space Set Number - 71046 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - 8 Price - $4.99 Release Date - 1st May 2024 71046 Series 26 Space releases on the 1st of May 2024 as the second CMF series of 2024 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71046 Series 26 Space? What's your favourite and least favourite Minifigure of the series? Are there any other classic space references you'd like to see in this series?

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

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

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