Every so often, we get a set or two that lines up specifically with sights from Disneyland Parks: the iconic Castle (at least twice so far), a railway, the occasional random ride (Haunted Mansion, I’m looking at you). Today, the LEGO group has revealed the latest in this series: LEGO®|Disney Main Street, U.S.A.
This set has 3899 pieces and features 16 minfigures. It will be priced at $AUD549.99 / £319.99 / €349.99 / $399.99 and will go on sale in June 2026, in time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the park’s landmark locale.
It was December 27, 2001. The Knoller in Chief and I went to the movies to celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary, as well as to enjoy a quiet night out with our two young children. It is hard to believe that this is now 25 years ago. Over the next few years, our wedding anniversary would be recognised as a chance to get out of the house together and catch up with the latest cinematic sage being released in the post Christmas period. We had both grown up with the Lord of the Rings and seeing the story translated into film was a defining moment in popculture for us both.
After the original run of sets based on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit from over a decade ago, we have been getting a steady drip feed of related sets over the past few years: Starting with Rivendell, we have seen Barad-Dur and Bag End as ‘regular’ display sets, while we have also seen a selection of Brick Headz, a book nook, and more recently, Sauron’s Helmet. While our display spaces rapidly diminish, today, the LEGO Group are revealing their latest model: 11377 LEGO Icons The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith.
This latest set will be available at the start of June (1st for LEGO Insiders, 4th for everyone else). It comes with 8278 pieces – measures over 23.5 in. (59cm) high, 24.5 in. (62 cm) wide, and 14.5 in. (37 cm) deep, and comes with 10 minfigures. It will be priced at $AUD 999.99 / £579.99 / €649.99 / $649.99.
With the cinematic release of The Mandalorian and Grogu just around the corner, this year’s May the Fourth release brings us The Mandalorian’s Naboo N1 Star Fighter, with the Ultimate Collector Series Treatment.
With a load of Silver laquer elements, The LEGO Star Wars™ The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter™ (75442) set will be available for LEGO Insiders* Early Access from 1 May 2026, and available for all from 4 May, priced at $AUD429.99 / £229.99 / €249.99 / $249.99.
It’s been a few months since the last Nike release, and today the classic Nike Air Max 95 has been officially revealed in brick-built form.
With 1213 pieces and one minifigure and priced at $AUD149.99 / $USD99.99 / 99.99€ / £89.99, the set will be released on March 28 2026. To my eyes, it appears to be one of the more interesting Nike Shoe releases to day – particularly when considering the different shades and textures featured in the model.
It’s January 1977 and 8 year old me is on holiday in New Zealand with my family and I am needing something to read. One day we are looking around in some local specialty stores (I seem to remember beeswax candles being bought at the time), and we take a detour to a book shop. I have never seen a tintin book before: More substantial than a 22 page comic – and with far more words than you might ever expect to see in tone too. I look over the shelves and one in particular catches my eye. Destination Moon. I am sure I was drawn to it by the large red and white rocket on the cover. I was a little disappointed when I discovered that the story continued in a second book, Explorers on the Moon. Not one to be deterred, I devoured every Tintin book that I could find in my primary school library.
The appeal of this rocket is undeniable: for me, I first saw it in the years between the end of the Apollo program, and the arrival of the Space Shuttle. And it was not until a couple of years later that I realised that this book predated the original Sputnik launch in 1957 by several years.
Fast forward some 29 years to 2006 and I am sitting down in front of the TV with my kids, while we watch the 1990s Adventures of Tintin animated series on DVD. At some point in the next year, my son is given a copy of Explorers on the Moon: at last we have the complete story.
Fast forward another twenty years to 2026 and the LEGO Group are proud to announce that LEGO IDEAS set 21367 Tintin Moon Rocket. With 1283 pieces, and including five minifigures (and one dog), the set presents the Rocket from Destination moon and Explorers on the Moon in LEGO Form. Based on the submission by Tkel86, the final model has done away with the gantry from the original submission, choosing to focus on the iconic rocket.

This year, to celebrate Mario 10th day, the LEGO Group has upped the ante on last year’s 72037 Mario and Standard Kart with a brick-built Luigi with the Mach 8 Kart.
This new set, 72050 LEGO® Mario Kart™ – Luigi & Mach 8 has 2234 pieces and is priced at $AUD 279.99/ £159.99 / €179.99 / $USD179.99. It is available for preorder now, and will be on the shelves on April 1, 2026
I’m not going to lie. I have probably enjoyed visiting Billund more than any other town in the world. When I first visited back in 2016, the LEGO house was in the process of moving from being a hole in the ground, and taking shape as a building in the centre of town. When I visited nearly 12 months later, it was well on the way to being prepared for its opening in September.
With the LEGO house at its centre, the main campus, LEGOland park and the original Idea House all within a few hundred meters of each other, the time has come for the annual LEGO House exclusive set to celebrate the Town, highlighting different features and attractions that will appeal to many who make the trip to Billund each year.
The newest LEGO® House Exclusive Set pays tribute to the birthplace of the LEGO brick, bringing Billund’s most iconic LEGO landmarks to life in miniature.
Ships of the Danish logistics giant, Maersk have been represented in LEGO sets for over fifty years. It is now more than 10 years since the last Maersk ship was released (Creator Expert 10241 in 2014). It must be about time for a new one.
The LEGO Group has just revealed the 40955 Maersk Dual-Fuel Container vessel. The [real life] Ane Maersk, on which it is based is able to run on biofuel or methanol.
40955 Maesk Dual Fuel Container Vessel measures over 60cm long. It is priced at $AUD249.99 / £139.99 / €149.99 / $USD149.99, has 1516 pieces and will be released on March 1, as a LEGO Store Exclusive set.
The LEGO Group have revealed their latest LEGO ICONs Classic car, and they don’t get asny more classic than the original production line vehicle, the Ford Model T. The set will be available on the 1st March 2026, and has 1060 pieces. It will be priced at $199.99 AUD/129.99€/$129.99 usd / £119.99
I love a good spaceship. I love LEGO Spaceships more. With the first manned Artemis ship set to fly to the moon any day now [Update: delayed until March 2026] we are entering a new era of manned spaceflight, bound to spark imaginations around the world, looking outward with an enthusiasm unseen since the shuttle program. And in the background, sciece fiction continues to reach for the stars.
Author Andy Weir includes enough plausible science in his work to make you feel that what you are reading isn’t ‘What?’ so much as “When?” The Martian was a compelling story of Survival in a harsh, alien environment. His latest book, 2021’s Project Hail Mary was released to much acclaim and is due for release as a Motion Picture starring Ryan Gosling in March 2024.
Some how, it seems to be inevitable that would be a LEGO Set to go along with it.
Set 11389 LEGO ICONS: Project Hail Mary has 830 pieces and one minifigure. It will go on sale on the first of March 2026, priced at 179.99 AUD/ 99,99 USD / 109,99 EUR / 99,99 GBP.
