ramblingbrick 18+, ICONS, Lego, Reveal , , , , , ,

It’s an annual highlight in the LEGO Fan’s calendar: the reveal of the Modular Building. Once part of Creator Expert, and now ICONS, Modular buildings were my gateway drug, deranging me down a slippery slope into accepting life as an Adult Fan of a Children’s toy, over 15 years ago.

This year’s model does not disappoint me.

We have two buildings-!- music shop and a furniture store (with an upstairs workshop), separated by an angled alleyway. They are joined by connecting walkways at the first and second floors.

LEGO ICONS SET 11371 Shopping Street will be priced at $AUD399.99/ $USD249.99 / 249,99 EUR / £229.99 The set will be released on January 1 2026 has 3456 pieces and seven minifigures- two of whom are twins.

Normally a picture release of a large grey spaceship heralds the arrival of something from the LEGO Star Wars team. But this is much more exciting. After moving around a series of alternative toy brick companies over the years, the Star Trek License has finally come to rest with the LEGO Group, and I have to admit I am just a little bit excited.

Goonies Never Say Die. Now they can say build?

ramblingbrick IDEAS, Lego, Reveal , , , , , , ,
A detailed LEGO set showcasing the pirate-themed interior and exterior of 'The Goonies', featuring multiple minifigures and various interactive elements.

It was the mid-1980s, and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment seemed to do no wrong. On the tail of E.T. the Extra terrestrial (1982)and Gremlins (1984), in 1985 Steven Spielberg’s production company went on to present Back to the Future and The Goonies. While these are not the only films released by Amblin in that period, these four were all represented in LEGO Dimensions (released in 2015) – with various packs released over the years that the theme ran.

LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack featuring E.T. from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, includes a mini E.T. figure and a phone home device, designed for ages 7-14.
LEGO Dimensions Team Pack featuring characters from Gremlins, including Gizmo and Stripe, alongside an R.C. Racer vehicle and accessories.
LEGO Dimensions Level Pack featuring Marty McFly with a guitar, DeLorean Time Machine, and Hoverboard from Back to the Future.
LEGO Dimensions Fun Pack featuring Doc Brown from Back to the Future, with a traveling time train and vibrant packaging.
LEGO Dimensions Level Pack featuring characters and elements from 'The Goonies', including One-Eyed Willy's pirate ship and Sloth minifigure.
LEGO set box for Back to the Future, featuring the DeLorean vehicle and two minifigures, Marty McFly and Doc Brown, with the title and age recommendation.
LEGO Ideas Gizmo building set from Gremlins, featuring a brick-built Gizmo figure holding a small item, with a colorful box in the background.

A couple of these films have also had sets released under the LEGO Ideas label – Last month’s LEGO Ideas Gizmo, from Gremlins, along with 2014’s Delorean Time Machine.

Today, we see the formal reveal of 21363 The Goonies. Like Gizmo, this submission was part of the ‘If we could turn back time – 1980’s’ challenge that ran on the Ideas platform in March 1984.

Based on the design by Delusionbrick, this set has 2912 pieces, and will be priced at $AUD499.99 /$USD329.99 / 299.99€ /£269.99. It includes 12 minifigures, and will be released on November 1 2025.

Great Scott! The Delorean Time Machine gets the LEGO Speed Champions Treatment!

Let your mind drift back to the past. To a time when things were much simpler. Take yourself back to 2013. The Time Machine from Back to the Future was the fourth set to be released through the relatively new LEGO Cusoo program. With 401 pieces and two minifigures, it was the only set released through what would become ‘LEGO Ideas’ that year. The set was on the market for around 18 months. And it was gone.

Now, if you grew up in the 80s and 90s, Back to the Future is one of our cultural touch stones (even if the movie’s initial release date is now further back than the time jump that Marty McFly experienced in that first movie). The Time machine has been revisited in LEGO Dimensions as well as the more recent ICONs set – the earlier models are long discontinued, and the ICONS version takes up just a little too much space on a shelf.

If only we had some sort of time machine that would allow us to bring back a conveniently sized model at a sensible price. One that you would happily share with your kids.

Today, the LEGO Group have revealed the 77256 Speed Champions ‘Time Machine from Back to the Future.’ The set has 357 pieces and two minifigures. It will be priced at $AUD39.99/ $USD27.99/ 27.99€ / £22.99 and will be available on January 1 2026.

The latest LEGO® Icons set has been revealed, a 4154 piece model of a tropical aquarium.

If you have been observing the range adult-focused LEGO models released over the past few years, you will have noticed a number of recurring , popular subjects for realisation in LEGO models. One is the Botanical collection, debuting as a subset of ICONS in 2021, life size flower models have taken the world by storm, and (re) introduced LEGO Bricks to people who may not have picked one up for years. In parallel with this, life size real-world objects have become a trend that transcends third party IP: starting with the LEGO Ideas Typewriter, taking in a Globe of the World, Harry Potter artefacts, Disney Villain VHS cassettes, video game consoles and sports shoes.

And today we see a set revealed that combines the two: a collection of corals and anenomes that rival the Botanical collection in their crazy, colourful parts usage in the outline of a fishtank that looks to be the right size to fill up a dentist’s office.
