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.

Earlier in the month I was visiting Denmark, and had the opportunity to visit the LEGO Campus and have a conversation with LEGO Botanicals senior designer, Theo Bonner. In part one, we discussed recolours and the rationale behind new elements being developed in the Botanical theme. Last time, we spoke recolours and the introduction of new elements in Botanical sets.

Today, we discuss the flowerpot design in the 11503 Peace Lily, the fan base for LEGO Botanicals, designing 18+ sets for builders who have never built a LEGO set in their lives before and discover something what LEGO Star Wars and Botanicals have in common.

The next wave of LEGO® Dreamzzz contains a collectable aspect, as such themes often do. In the past we’ve had spinners, golden weapons, shields… and in the 2026 Dreamzzz sets, we have two collectables; HUGE swords, and crystal creatures. The boxes seem fairly clear about this:

A display of five LEGO® Dreamzzz set boxes, showcasing various colorful designs and characters, including a dragon and robotic figures.

Are Our Dreamzzz Getting Bigger?

I was quite excited when I saw the announcement of season 4 of LEGO Dreamzzz (as in: the 5 sets that are to be released in January 2026); they are all animals, reminding me much of Legends of Chima! And then it struck me; these are all LARGE sets!

When I was fortunate enough to visit LEGO during the LEGO inside tour in 2016, I distinctly remember LEGO designers explaining to me that in these ‘story’ themes they aim to have a set for every budget, from something tiny, to pocket-money sized all the way to saving-for-quite-some-time-and-hoping-santa-thinks-I-was-nice large. But this batch felt different, the smallest one, 71513 Nightmare Scorpion Digger comes in at a respectable 505 pieces, followed by 71508 Fox Guardian Mech with 883 pieces and the rest all over 1000 pieces! These all represent quite a significant investment.

I think these sets are all really great in different ways, read the reviews coming soon. But in today we are not discussing the quality of the sets, just the size.

Follow me as I investigate if this is a fluke, or a significant trend; have the sets for these story-based themes gotten larger over time? Do sets in story themes always get larger towards the end of their shelf life? Can we expect to see more from Dreamzzz?
