Jedi Starfighters and Interceptors are always common in LEGO Star Wars and thanks to The French Smythtoys online shop we have our first leaked images of a brand new brick-built Interceptor. In particular, this is 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor which includes a total of 290 pieces retailing for $44.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 once it hits shelves on the 1st of January 2025. This 2025 Jedi interceptor, as the name suggests, belongs to Ahsoka and is based on its appearance in the Clone Wars series. The Minifigure selection heavily reflects this with a brand new younger version of Ahsoka with mid legs, her master Anakin Skywalker who is also exclusive to 75401 and an R7-A7 astromech droid. In fact, all three characters are exclusive with the droid being a much-needed updated version of its last LEGO appearance back in 2009. Back to the Jedi Interceptor build itself though, the main and only build of the 8+ model accurately portrays the Interceptor from the animated Clone Wars series with a red, grey and white colour scheme. The ship has plenty of play features and functions including an openable cockpit for Ahsoka, adjustable wings and two spring-loaded shooters. Altogether, the $45 2025 set measures 19cm long and includes lightsaber accessories for both Ahsoka and Anakin. 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor Set Name - Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor Set Number - 75401 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 290 Price - $44.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 75401 in a few weeks time? What do you make of the leaked images? Is the 8+ model worth that $45 price tag?

Having joined Ras at the end of Season 2 part 2 of Dragons Rising, the LEGO NINJAGO theme is set to further explore the partnership between Ras and Arin in 2025. In particular, this will be with 71833 Ras & Arin's Super Storm Jet which includes 510 pieces retailing for $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 once it releases on the 1st of January 2025. As the name suggests, the main and only build of the 8+ set is this Super Storm Jet which reportedly combines two models together to create this complete jet build. You can see the different sections of the model and the different sections of each character by the colour scheme: the gold and navy sections belong to the ninja Arin whilst the more darker, evil-looking elements belong to the anthropomorphic tiger Ras. The front of the jet with plenty of golden elements includes a couple of prints/stickers along with a cockpit which has enough space for the singular Minfigure of Arin. The Super Storm Jet includes a total of four wings which continue the golden, navy blue and black colour scheme with further details and stickers/prints. The rear of the jet belongs to Ras a singular, printed dragon head mould in black along with some vibrant coloured wings and plenty more details related to the character. 71833 Ras & Arin's Super Storm Jet Set Name - Ras & Arin's Super Storm Jet Set Number - 71833 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 510 Price - $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71833 Ras & Arin's Super Storm Jet releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71833 in a few weeks time? What did you make of Arin having joined Ras at the end of Season 2 part 2? What other sets are you looking forward to in this Winter 2025 wave of LEGO NINJAGO sets? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

As we continue to cover the rumours of every LEGO NINJAGO sets releasing on the 1st of January 2025 we are now on to the first and only 4+ model of the wave. In particular, this is 71831 Ninja Spinjitzu Temple which includes 158 pieces and retails for $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99. Apart from that, however, we annoyingly know very little about the upcoming brick-built temple aimed at younger builders. But with that said, we can still speculate about the upcoming $40 set which is likely to be similar 4+ models such as LEGO NINJAGO's 71759 Ninja Dragon Temple and LEGO Star Wars' 75358 Tenoo Jedi Temple. Both sets include a simple brick-built temple and that will likely be the case for 71831 Ninja Spinjitzu Temple too. Unlike the other two, however, 2025s 71831 is unlikely to be filled with extra vehicles, mechs and dragons, and instead mainly focus on the Spinjitzu Temple. The compact yet play-heavy temple structure will likely align perfectly with the LEGO NINJAGO theme's distinct aesthetic just like 71759 Ninja Dragon Temple. Inside, the temple might include a Spinjitzu training area with interactive features like rotating platforms or a small obstacle course for the ninjas. For that $40 price tag, we expect at least two unknown ninja Minifigures to be included along with one of the new Dragonian enemies. 71831 Ninja Spinjitzu Temple Set Name - Ninja Spinjitzu Temple Set Number - 71831 Age Range - 4+ Piece Count - 158 Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71831 Ninja Spinjitzu Temple releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71831 in a few weeks time? Do you like seeing 4+ models in the LEGO NINJAGO theme and other popular LEGO themes? What do you think will be included in this Winter 2025 set?

A residential townhouse, an Airbnb and a fish and chip shop - the 2025 LEGO Modular Building has been rumoured to be many different things but it turns out that all of these rumours are somewhat true. This is because we have our first leaked image of the LEGO Icons model which is now confirmed to be 10350 Tudor Corner. It's also now confirmed that 10350 will be releasing on the 1st of January 2025 with 3,266 pieces retailing for $229.99 / €229.99 / £199.99. This year saw the release biggest LEGO Modular Building yet of 10326 Natural History which became the subthemes flagship model. 2025's LEGO Modular Building will be nowhere near as big as 10326 with over 800 pieces yet for a brick-built building that covers just one baseplate rather than two. However, 10350 Tudor Corner still comes in at the third largest LEGO Modular Building which can be seen by its intricate design and details as it celebrates being the 20th LEGO Icons Modular Building. The build itself of the Tudor Corner incorporates many iconic elements of Tudor architecture but in a modern brick-built form. The latest corner Modular Building incorporates hallmark Tudor elements, such as timber framing, sloped roofs, and detailed brickwork. Rich earth-tone colours and textured elements give it an authentic, historic feel along with multiple large chimneys which were very common during this time period. As we've already mentioned, 10350 was originally rumoured to be a residential townhouse, an Airbnb and a fish and chip shop at various points over the last few months. All three ideas have been incorporated into one with the bottom floor of the LEGO Modular Building being a pub entitled 'the Old Guarded Inn'. Like most of the set, the architecture feels very medieval with a dark green colour scheme for the Inn along with some nicely coloured plants. In front of the Inn are two seats and a small table for some of the seven Minifigures in 10350 to enjoy a drink or two. Prints for the Tudor-like sign for the Inn along with its menu and today's special of fish and chips are also included. Next door to the Old Guarded Inn is a smaller but more modern building of a hairdresser. This includes another printed sign along with a glass door and light blue, modern architecture. Stairs located next to the Inn lead up to the residential section of the building and more of that lovely Tudor-like design. Like every LEGO Modular Building, 10350 Tudor Corner stretches across three floors and therefore the first and second floors are both dedicated to residential spaces and will likely be packed full of details. These spaces will likely be dedicated to some of the seven Minifigures included in the $230 January 2025 model. 10350 Tudor Corner Set Name - Tudor Corner Set Number - 10350 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 3,266 Price - $229.99 / €229.99 / £199.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 10350 Tudor Corner releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10350 in a few weeks time? Do you like this beautifully crafted Tudor design complete with an inn? What other LEGO Modular Buildings do you own?

A new LEGO Icons subtheme is coming in 2025, building on the success of the already existing LEGO Icons Botanical Collection line of sets which has now become a fully-fledged LEGO theme. This new subtheme for the LEGO Icons series is named 'Gardens of the World', inspired by world-famous gardens. Each brick-built garden will be easily recognizable by its unique and distinctive features and climate from the respective country. The new subtheme sounds and looks very similar to a previous LEGO Icons model of 2023s 10315 Tranquil Garden which recreates a traditional colourful Japanese garden on a black stand. However, in 2025 to kick off this brand new subtheme we'll be travelling to a completely different continent with 10359 Fountain Garden being based on beautiful gardens in Spain. The 18+ model includes 1,302 pieces for a $99.99 / €99.99 / £89.99  retail price once it releases on the 1st of January 2025. 10359 Fountain Garden will beautifully recreate a peaceful Spanish fountain garden complete with Mediterranean architecture, typical of Español gardens. The focal point of the 18+ set is obviously a fountain, surrounded by brick-built plants, hedges, trees and columns. The detailed stone arches included in 10359, with terracotta roof tiles and green elements such as trees and colourful flowers, give the set an authentic southern feel. The structure is mainly composed of green, white, and earthy tones to create a very warm feeling in the colour scheme. Plenty of prints are also included for extra detailing on the centrepiece fountain. Within all the botanical wildlife there's also a few animals including a bird, a frog and a luna moth. Similar to 2023s 10315 Tranquil Garden, 10359 sits on a display stand, this time coloured in brown with their also being the option to move and change select elements of the 18+ model. 10359 Fountain Garden Set Name - Fountain Garden Set Number - 10359 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,302 Price - $99.99 / €99.99 / £89.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 10359 Fountain Garden releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10359 in a few weeks time? Do you like the idea of this brand-new LEGO Icons subtheme? What other gardens from around the world do you want to see in brick-built LEGO form?

Arguably one of the biggest weeks of LEGO's calendar had begun as LEGO Insiders Weekend is just days away. Alongside Black Friday exactly a week later, the LEGO Insiders Weekend is the time to buy as much LEGO as possible with double Insiders points, plenty of discounts and offers on a range of sets and exclusive Gift With Purchases.

The model is filled with plenty of nostalgic details including a buildable LP record, a movable needle and a lid made from plenty of translucent panels. 40699 also includes a couple of printed tiles for smaller details along with one of these being a volume button tile to create the perfect display and play promotional item. 40699 Retro Record Player GWP Set Name - Retro Record Player GWP Set Number - 40699 Age Range - 12+ Piece Count - 310 Price - GWP over $250 Release Date - 23rd November 2024 40699 Retro Record Player is available starting from the 23rd of November 2024 but what do you think?

Alongside Black Friday exactly a week later, the LEGO Insiders Weekend is the time to buy as much LEGO as possible with double Insiders points, plenty of discounts and offers on a range of sets and exclusive Gift With Purchases. One of these exclusive Gift With Purchases is 40700 Winter Holiday Train which will be bringing the festive fun to LEGO's big weekend in 2024. The LEGO Creator branded model includes a total of 294 pieces and will be available with any purchases over $170. 40700 will not only be available for this threshold during LEGO Insiders Weekend of the 23rd and the 24th of November but also Black Friday Weekend which starts on the 29th of November. 40700 Winter Holiday Train is unsurprisingly a brick-built festive train somewhat similar to the 2015 Christmas GWP of 40318 Christmas Train. 2025s Winter Holiday Train is built in a similar scale but slightly larger with a mighty steam locomotive delivering presents to the Minifigures of LEGO City. The steam locomotive along with its two carriages are mainly green with hints of gold and red wheels. The train, being the same scale as 40318, does not fit on stand LEGO train tracks but still measures over 3 inches (8 cm) high, 5 inches (15 cm) long and 1.5 inches (4 cm) wide. As already mentioned, the Winter Holiday Train comes carrying plenty of presents that can be stacked on top of each other along with a simple spinable Christmas tree. 40700 Winter Holiday Train GWP Set Name - Winter Holiday Train GWP Set Number - 40700 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 294 Price - GWP over $170 Release Date - 23rd November 2024 40700 Winter Holiday Train is available starting from the 23rd of November 2024 but what do you think?

A total of eleven sets will be releasing on the 1st of January 2025 for the LEGO NINJAGO theme including one which has a very slight nod to Star Wars. This is with set 71830 Kai's Mech Storm Rider which includes 333 pieces retailing for $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99. The January 2025 model somewhat references Star Wars as it feels like a ninja version of some of the pod racers seen in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Of course, it isn't actually a pod race and is instead another brand new mech for the LEGO NINJAGO theme belonging to the ninja Kai. The actual mech for Kai is a similar size to those seen in the LEGO Marvel and DC theme but this time in a red colour scheme with a couple of prints/stickers and a brick-built accessory of a golden blade. Reports then suggest that Kai's mech can be attached to this somewhat NINJAGO-themed pod racer piloted by the Minifigure Nya. Once again this build, which we assume is the actual 'Storm Rider' part, is mainly coloured red but includes even more prints with hints of red and yellow along with some larger elements of gold around the propellors. The set, exactly what part is unknown, can then be folded to create a bike form for Kai. Unsurprisingly, a lot of larger elements are included in this 7+ model for that $50 price tag including the piece for the golden blade, wings of the storm rider and those large golden elements. But its Minifigure selection of Kai and Nya along with the enemy of a flying Dragonian, all complete with a range of elements, will likely have also contributed to the 2025 models high retail price. 71830 Kai's Mech Storm Rider Set Name - Kai's Mech Storm Rider Set Number - 71830 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 333 Price - $49.99 / €49.99 / £44.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71830 Kai's Mech Storm Rider releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71830 in a few weeks time? The 7+ model sounds intriguing but is it worth that $50 price tag? Does 71830 deserve another Minifigure for that high retail price? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

Just the the other day we covered rumours of a brand new LEGO NINJAGO set for Lloyd of 71828 Lloyd's Pull-Back Race Car and now we have reports of another January 2025 model based on the green ninja. In particular, this set is 71829 Lloyd's Forest Dragon which includes a total of 128 pieces retailing for $19.99 / €19.99 / £18.99. Within in that price tag, two Minifigures are included of the ninja Lloyd and a brand new enemy of a mohawked Dragonian. For that $20 price tag, the build for 71829 is unsurprisingly not a substantial size. However with that said, the small green dragon controlled by Lloyd includes two singular, pretty large pieces for its wings which are moveable. The dragon has gold claws attached to these wings along with a printed, single mould head which, along with the wings, is likely bumping up the price-per-piece ratio. Along with the moveable wings, the dragon's head can also be moved along with its green and gold tail. An obvious brown seat is included on the dragon's back for Lllody along with some sort of printed symbol/sign. Another Baby Riyu is also included in 71829 Lloyd's Forest Dragon but this time in a golden yellow colour. 71829 Lloyd's Forest Dragon Set Name - Lloyd's Forest Dragon Set Number - 71829 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 128 Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £18.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71829 Lloyd's Forest Dragon releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71829 in a few weeks time? Would you have preferred a larger dragon build for Lloyd? What LEGO NINJAGO set are you looking forward to the most in 2025?

Over two years since the first set and an official LEGO-branded video game later, a brand new LEGO Horizon set has been officially revealed. The science fiction action role-playing game first entered the brick-built world back in 2022 with the popular release of 76989 Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck. Since then many fans have been calling for a follow-up model and reports now suggest that we're getting more than just that - we're getting a fully-fledged LEGO Horizon Adventures theme. Amazon Mexico has already gone ahead and revealed what will hopefully be many sets for this brand-new theme. In particular, this brand new videogame-based model is 77037 Aloy & Varl VS. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth. The 9+ model includes 768 pieces, retailing for $44.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 and will become available in a few months time from the 1st of March 2025. The set itself includes brick-built versions of two well-known machines from the original Horizon game of a Shell-Walker and a Sawtooth. The two medium-sized machines are extremely detailed and accurate to their game designs. The brick-built versions can even be modified as if different parts, canisters and weapons have been shot off them. And, like many brick-built models, they have many moving parts and play functions for the 9+ model. Just like 2022s 76989 Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck, 77037 includes some exclusive Horizon Minifigures. This time we get two new Minifigures of the main protagonists Aloy and Varl. The former of these appeared in 76989 but this is a slightly modified version with even more added detail. Varl is completely new and, like Aloy, includes a range of accessories for fighting against the two machines included in 77037. 77037 Aloy & Varl VS. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth Set Name - Aloy & Varl VS. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth Set Number - 77037 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 768 Price - $44.99 / €44.99 / £39.99 Release Date - 1st March 2025 77037 Aloy & Varl VS. Shell-Walker & Sawtooth launches on the 1st of March 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 77037 in a few months time? Are you excited for even more LEGO Horizon Adventures sets?

Three 'gimmick' sets, plenty of different-sized mechs and now a couple of vehicles - another stereotypical yet extremely exciting LEGO NINJAGO wave is coming on the 1st of January 2025. One of these sets includes a brand-new brick-built vehicle of 71828 Lloyd's Pull-Back Race Car. The 7+ model includes a total of 181 pieces and two Minifigures retailing for $24.99 /  €24.99 / £19.99. Unlike the other ten LEGO NINJAGO sets releasing at the start of the new year, 71828 isn't covered with rumoured or leaked information. The two Minifigures included in the January 2025 set are currently unconfirmed but we expect these to be the ninja Lloyd and an enemy which in this wave will reportedly be made up of Dragonians and the Forbidden Five. The main build of 71828 will unsurprisingly be the brand new brick-built version of Lloyd's race car. This time ever the LEGO NINJAGO theme will be taking a leaf out of the LEGO Technics book and including a similar pull-back motor/mechanism. This will explain the slightly higher price for not a very large or detailed race car. The set however does also include some form of obstacle course for play. 71828 Lloyd's Pull-Back Race Car Set Name - Lloyd's Pull-Back Race Car Set Number - 71828 Age Range - 7+ Piece Count - 181 Price - $24.99 / €24.99 / £19.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71828 Lloyd's Pull-Back Race Car releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71828 in a few weeks time? Would you look to see more pull-back sets from the LEGO NINJAGO theme? What other NINJAGO branded sets are you looking forward to in 2025 and beyond?

LEGO NINJAGO and brick-built mechs: such a repetitive combination yet a combination which has now remained strong for 13 years. In 2025, this will become 14 years with three new waves for the unlicensed LEGO theme. The first of these launches on the 1st of January 2025 with a total of 11 brand new sets including the one we're focusing on today of 71827 Zane's Battle Suit Mech. The brand new mech-based set will include a total of 92 pieces retailing for $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99. The 6+ model is very similar in size and build to this year's 71805 Jay's Mech Battle Pack. Obviously, 71827 is instead based on the ninja Zane which is reflected in the mechs colour scheme of white, ice blue and gold. The small mech for Zane includes moveable arms, hands and legs along with a body that can be rotated 360 degrees. The mech has space for a single Minifigure to be placed inside and includes two brick-built swords. 71827 includes a total of three Minifigures: Zane in his new suit with two shurikens, Wyldfyre with a crystal katana and Drix (one of the Forbidden Five) with two sickles. 71827 Zane's Battle Suit Mech Set Name - Zane's Battle Suit Mech Set Number - 71827 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 92 Price - $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71827 Zane's Battle Suit Mech launches on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 71827 in a few weeks time? What other mechs are you hoping for in this January wave of LEGO NINJAGO sets? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.

A brand new year is almost upon us, and with that comes the latest wave of LEGO NINJAGO sets, which unsurprisingly includes brand new 'gimmick' sets for the unlicensed LEGO theme. These 'gimmick' sets launching on 1st January 2025, are similar to previous sets from the theme, such as 2023's 71779 Lloyd's Dragon Power Spinjitzu Spin, where a Spinjitzu Spinner is the main selling point of the $10 sets. In 2025 however, we'll be getting 71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner, 71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner and 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack. All three sets are based on the latest season of Dragons Rising for the NINJAGO theme which continues to remain extremely popular amongst fans young and old. 71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner Our first Spinjitzu Spinner has already appeared online in some of the darkest places on the internet of 71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner. Unsurprisingly, 71823 is based on the ninja Kai and this is reflected in a vibrant red colour scheme for the large Spinjitzu Spinner piece. A red launcher build for the spinner is also included along with a small red dragon that only uses around 6-10 pieces. The $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 that includes 54 pieces also comes with two Minifigures. The first is the ninja Kai along with a brand new enemy which looks similar to LEGO Nexo Knights villains. This time, however, rather than being Lava Monsters, the Minifigure is a Lava Dragon Monster with the small dragon included in 71823 being able to attach to the figure. Set Name - Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner Set Number - 71823 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 54 Price - $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner 71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner will be almost identical to 71823 but this time based on the ninja Sora. Her Spinjitzu Spinner will likely be coloured white, pink and navy just like previous builds based on the character. She will be included as a Minifigure along with an enemy, the small brick-built dragon and a launcher build for the Spinjitzu Spinner which includes just two pieces more than 71823 at 56. Set Name - Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner Set Number - 71824 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 56 Price - $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack Our third and final LEGO NINJAGO Dragon Spinjitzu Set is the most interesting of the three of 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack. The 6+ model includes a total of 186 pieces retailing for $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 - a significantly larger set than 71823 and 71824. That's mainly because 71826 is a battle pack for the Spinjitzu Spinner's including two of the 'gimmick' models for the ninja's Cole and Ras. Obviously, Cole and Ras along with their respective coloured Spinjitzu Spinners are included as Minifigures but with none of the new enemies in this Winter wave. More launcher builds for the Spinjitzu Spinners are also included along with a small battle arena that likely takes up most of the 186 pieces included. Set Name - Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack Set Number - 71826 Age Range - 6+ Piece Count - 186 Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71823 Kai's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner, 71824 Sora's Dragon Spinjitzu Spinner and 71826 Dragon Spinjitzu Battle Pack all release on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing any of the three sets in a few weeks time? Do you like the idea of LEGO NINJAGO releasing annual 'gimmick' sets? What else are you expecting from the theme in 2025?

Since its debut in 2021, the LEGO Icons Botanical Collection subtheme has hit the nail on the head with the adult market of LEGO. Four years and many brick-built plants and flowers later, LEGO Botanicals is officially branching out to become its own 18+ theme. The new adult-oriented theme kicks off with four brand new sets launching on the 1st of January 2025. These four sets are 10342 Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet, 10343 Mini Orchid, 10344 Lucky Bamboo and 10345 Flower Arrangement. In fact, the latter of these releases a month later on the 1st of February 2025 yet is still a beautiful display model, retailing for a fair price and including plenty of interesting building techniques and parts just like every LEGO Botanicals set. 10342 Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet The second largest set of the four Botanical sets releasing next year is another brand new Bouquet of 10342 Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet. This time however the $60 set focuses on several flowers which all have brightly coloured pink blossoms. These types of flowers include daisies, cornflowers, eucalyptus, elderflowers, roses, ranunculus, cymbidium orchids, a waterlily dahlia and a campanula to make a lovely contrast of colours and tones of pink. Set Name - Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet Set Number - 10342 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 749 Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 10343 Mini Orchid Both 10343 Mini Orchid and 10344 Lucky Bamboo are part of the classic quartet of beautiful plants known as the Four Gentlemen. Two of the four plants appeared in brick-built form in August, with 10368 Chrysanthemum and 10369 Plum Blossom. On the 1st of January 2025, LEGO is adding to the quartet with a brick-built Mini Orchid retailing for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 with a total of 274 pieces. Orchid represents Spring and is basically a smaller version of a previous LEGO Botanical model of 10311 Orchid. This time, however, 10343 includes five peach-coloured Orchid blossoms along with some green leaves all in a light terracotta brick-built flowerpot. Set Name - Mini Orchid Set Number - 10343 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 274 Price - $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 10344 Lucky Bamboo 10344 Lucky Bamboo is the next LEGO Botanicals set which includes a total of 325 pieces for $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99.

As LEGO continues to dive into notalgia with sets such as this year's 10332 Medieval Town Square and 2023s 10320 Eldorado Fortress, new rumours suggest a brand new throwback set will be releasing next year, once again under the LEGO Icons theme. In particular, this rumoured set is 10355 Blacktron Renegade which seems to promise a thrilling return of the iconic Blacktron theme, which originally captivated LEGO space enthusiasts back in the late '80s and early '90s. The Blacktron theme holds a special place in the hearts of long-time LEGO fans. Blacktron was one of LEGO’s earliest “bad guy” factions in the space genre, known for its bold colour scheme and mysterious, rogue-like space explorers. The theme’s distinct black-and-yellow design and futuristic ships brought a unique edge, contrasting sharply with the more heroic space factions. Releasing on the 1st of January 2025, 10355 Blacktron Renegade will retail for $109.99 / €109.99 / £94.99 with a total of 1,151 pieces included. The 18+ model will be a remake of 1987s 6954 Renegade which includes a much smaller piece count of 313 elements. Like many LEGO Classic Space models, a lot of larger, very unique pieces were used to create the model which we are unlikely to see in 2025 as LEGO incorporates much smaller pieces to create a more detailed and accurate spaceship. 10355 Blacktron Renegade will likely retain the sleek, angular silhouette of the original while introducing intricate details that give it a more refined look. The model will also likely preserve the signature black-and-yellow Blacktron colour scheme and sharp, futuristic angles, bringing the spirit of the Blacktron Renegade into the modern LEGO era. Four Minifigures are also confirmed to be included in this modern remake with two pilots and two crew members. 10355 Blacktron Renegade Set Name - Blacktron Renegade Set Number - 10355 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 1,151 Price - $109.9 9 / €109.99 / £94.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 10355 Blacktron Renegade releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 10355 in a few weeks time? Do you own any LEGO Classic Space and Blacktron sets? What other nostalgic sets would you like to see recreated in the LEGO Icons theme?

As 2025 draws ever closer we're slowly getting our first official look at some of many LEGO sets releasing on the 1st of January 2025. One of these sets include the first of three LEGO Art models expected to release in 2025 of 31214 LOVE. The 18+ model is another recreation of some famous artwork for the artistic brick-built theme: the LOVE pop art image by American artist Robert Indiana. In particular, this LEGO version of the letters L and O over the letters V and E in bold (LOVE) will be coming under the set number 31214 and will be released on the first day of the new year. The 2025 model will be one of the cheaper and smaller sets in the LEGO Art theme retailing for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 with a total of 791 pieces. The reproduction of the famous sculpture by Robert Indiana uses more of the larger, classic system LEGO pieces rather than individual 1x1 studs seen in some of the very first LEGO Art sets. The brick-built LEGO form of the LOVE sign captures the sculpture's famous look beautifully with the correct brick-built placement of the letters L, O, V and E. The O, in particular, is perfectly slanted sideways so that its oblong negative space creates a line leading to the V just like the real art. All of these brick-built letters are in a bold Didone-type font so expect plenty of interesting and creative building techniques when building this 18+ model in the new year. Just like the real model, the LEGO version of Robert Indiana’s famous sculpture includes a vibrant red, blue and green colour scheme to celebrate the 55th anniversary of the LOVE sculpture in 2025. 31214 LOVE Set Name - LOVE Set Number - 31214 Age Range - 18+ Piece Count - 791 Price - $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 31214 LOVE launches on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 31214 in a few weeks time? Have you ever visited the LOVE sign in New York for example? What other famous pieces of art would you like to see in brick-built LEGO form?

With us now a third of the way through November, it's not long until the end of another incredible year of LEGO and the start of a brand-new launch season. The 1st of January 2025 will see the release of a range of new sets from an even wider range of LEGO themes. One of these includes our first of three LEGO Minifigure series launching in 2025, 71048 Series 27. For some time now we've known of the 12 new figures coming in this series but, thanks to various sources on Reddit we have our first leaked images. The 27th unlicensed LEGO series of collectable Minifigures will continue to retail for the usual price of $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 with a single Minifigure in each blind box. Since the introduction of these controversial blind boxes at the end of 2023, LEGO has introduced QR codes which can be scanned revealing a unique code for each of the 12 exclusive figures included in Series 27. List of Minifigures Hamster Costume Fan - A young girl with small legs in a brown and white hamster costume. She comes with a new headpiece to recreate a chubby but cute Hamster face along with an accessory of a round 1x1 tile used to signify hamster food. Wolfpack Beastmaster - Arguably one of the most exciting figures in this series, the Wolfpack Beastmaster has the Wolfpack symbol on both his torso and his shield. Along with a shield he also includes an exclusive Wolf mould and a sword as his accessories. He also includes a hood and a thin cape. Jetpack Racer - This Minifigure comes in a mainly white racing suit with some hints of black and stripes of blue and red on his torso. He looks to include a brand new helmet piece with a red visor allowing us to see one of two facial expressions included with the Minifigure. A brick-built jetpack is obviously attached to his back. Astronomer Kid - The space theme somewhat continues into 2025 with this character of the Astronomer Kid. She includes mid legs in light blue along with a printed space-themed torso. Her one and only accessory is a nicely built black and white telescope. Plush Toy Collector - A brand new idea from LEGO with a Minifigure obsessed with plush toys. She includes two of them here which both look to include brand new moulds to create some wacky collectable toys in the Minifigure world. One is green whilst the other is blue to create a very colourful Minifigure that includes pink hair and purple torso and legs. Pterodactyl Costume Fan - No surprise here to see our third addition to the LEGO Minifigure Dinosaur Costume fan collection. This time it's a grey and blue Pterodactyl which includes specialised arms with wings attached to them and a brand new head mould. Longboarder - Here we have a female longboarder who includes a brand new hat and hair combination. The hair is a unique green colour whilst the hat is black which matches well with her overall outfit that's coloured grey, green and white. Her main accessory is obviously the longboard which looks to use a brand new piece. Bogeyman - Another unique addition to this series is the Bogeyman, coloured entirely dark blue but includes some very fine details and printing. A brand new headpiece with horns is used along with an accessory of an exclusive printed book. Cupid - In preparation for Valentine's Day in February, LEGO is releasing a Cupid Minifigure in Series 27. The figure unsurprisingly comes with wings and a bow along with the LEGO heart piece in red to match his eyes which are also heart-shaped on his printed face. Pirate Quartermaster - Not only do we have Castle-themed Minifigures but also Pirates with the Pirate Quartermaster. She's an extremely detailed Minifigure with plenty of prints on her exclusive torso and legs. Her hairpiece also looks to be new along with a white parrot and the classic pirate sword. Cat Lover - I guess this should also be called the crazy cat love as this figure seems to be obsessed with feline friends. An exclusive white moulded cat is included here along with a ball of wool. The Minifigure seems to be an expert with wool and knitting jumps as shown by the exclusive printed torso filled with even more cat references. Steampunk Inventor - Last but not least we have another extremely detailed figure of the Steampunk Inventor. More exclusive torso and leg printing along with a brick-built invention of his. The Minifigure also includes the classic top hat with printed goggles. Unsurprisingly, these 12 Minifigures add further additions to the costume characters, historical figures, fantasy creatures and everyday workers in LEGO Minifigure form. Wolfpack Beastmaster is obviously a reference to the Wolfpack faction of LEGO Castle from 1992 whilst Pirate Quartermaster, the second-in-command pirate, is a slight nod to previous nostalgic LEGO Pirate sets. Pterodactyl Costume Fan continues the recent collection of dinosaur costumes in Minifigure series with this one containing those wings and a long beak headpiece. A Hamster is the second costume of the series whilst the LEGO Minifigure of Cupid is perfect for 2025s Valentine's celebrations. Bogeyman, Jetpack Racer and Steampunk Inventor are more original and very interesting characters that all include a range of new prints and pieces. 71048 CMF Series 27 Set Name - CMF Series 27 Set Number - 71048 Age Range - 5+ Piece Count - TBC Price - $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 Release Date - 1st January 2025 71048 CMF Series 27 releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think?

It'll be available for just over two weeks, until the 31st of December 2024, with any LEGO purchases over either $70 or $80. The 8+ model is very similar to previous seasonal GWP of a brick-built picture frame covered with Christmas-themed mini-builds. The frame around the picture is a lovely Christmas red sat on a small brick-built snowy scene. Here there's a small Christmas tree and a snowman along with three microscale builds of a campfire, a gingerbread house and a reindeer attached to a sleigh. Pictures measuring the standard format of 10cm x 15cm will be able to fit perfectly in 40702. 40702 Christmas Picture Frame GWP Set Name - Christmas Picture Frame GWP Set Number - 40702 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 209 Price - GWP over $70/$80 Release Date - 6th - 31st December 2024 40702 Christmas Picture Frame becomes available from the 13th of December 2024 but what do you think?

In this article we're focusing on the later of those three dates as LEGO looks to ensure that its wide range of sets will be purchased throughout the run up to Christmas with the release of two brand new Gift With Purchase. One of these GWPs in particular is 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene which includes 244 pieces once it becomes available starting on the 6th December 2024. It'll be available for a substantial period of time, until the 31st of December 2024, with any LEGO purchases over either $150 or $160. The 9+ model recreates a beautiful Christmas diorama of a spinning Ballerina with a Nutcracker in her hand. The Ballerina is the only Minifigure included in 40701 and comes with a white tutu and fully white torso and legs. She holds a red microscale figure in her hand, used to represent the nutcracker. Together, they stand on a light blue section used to signify ice that can be twisted using cog pieces to make the figure spin and dance. Behind the spinning Ballerina Minifigure is a beautiful, cosy Christmas scene. There's a brick-built Christmas tree, a mixture of different-coloured and sized presents, big red curtains allowing us to view the starry night outside, and plenty more Christmas decorations. All this sits on the diorama-like scene, which acts like a section of a Westend Christmas performance. 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene GWP Set Name - Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene GWP Set Number - 40701 Age Range - 9+ Piece Count - 244 Price - GWP over $150/$160 Release Date - 6th - 31st December 2024 40701 Ballerina & Nutcracker Scene becomes available from the 6th of December 2024 but what do you think?

Even with our first non-Batman-centric LEGO DC model since 2020, some things will never change. Along with a Superman mech, we'll also be getting another new Batmobile and another new Tumbler for LEGO DC's Winter 2025 wave. In particular, this brand new brick-built LEGO Tumbler is under the set 76303 Batman Tumbler VS. Two-Face & The Joker which retails for $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 with a total of 429 pieces. 76303 will basically be a $20 more expensive remake of 2021s 76239 Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown. Both playset models are inspired by The Dark Knight trilogy and therefore include a lot of the same features yet also some obvious differences. These differences which apparently make it worth $20 more are a more streamlined front of the Tumbler vehicle and a glow in the dark bat signal. The other main difference between 2021s 76239 and 2024s 76303 is the Minifigure lineup. The January 2025 model includes a total of three Minifigures: a reused animated series Batman with the moulded cape, Joker in his purple suit but no leg printing and an exclusive Two-Face. The Villian Minifigure includes a brand new hair piece, an exclusive printed Minifigure head and an updated torso print along with plain grey legs. 76303 Batman Tumbler VS. Two-Face & The Joker Set Name - Batman Tumbler VS. Two-Face & The Joker Set Number - 76303 Age Range - 8+ Piece Count - 429 Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99 Release Date - 1st January 2025 76303 Batman Tumbler VS. Two-Face & The Joker releases on the 1st of January 2025 but what do you think? Will you be purchasing 76303 in a couple of months time? Is this new Tumbler a big enough upgrade on 2021s version? Are you happy with this Minifigure lineup? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.
