Review: 75460 New Republic X-Wing Starfighter™ from LEGO® Star Wars™

LEGO® Star Wars™ 75460 New Republic X-Wing Starfighter™, available since 1 April 2026, was a precursor to the wave of sets recently released in support of the upcoming film The Mandalorian and Grogu which hits theatres later this month.

Luke Skywalker is off doing something else, but this is essentially his ship – from brief appearances in the trailers, the New Republic X-wings are apparently unchanged except for blue livery and new pilots. We're here to investigate if the LEGO version has done little more than also just swap some colours about. Is this new X-Wing x-citing, or does LEGO have some x-plaining to do?

New molds in LEGO® Star Wars™ SMART Play™ sets

In March this year, The LEGO Group launched a new play concept: LEGO® SMART Play™. This system consists of the SMART Brick, and tags hidden inside SMART Tiles and SMART Minifigures. Is that a whole lotta smart, or will the results really smart?

In this, our first article examining the system, the focus is on all the new molds the products introduce. Aside from the specific Smart Play molds, the sets also bring some general useful elements!

Reveal: 76339 The Fantastic Four H.E.R.B.I.E. from LEGO® Marvel Super Heroes

Hooray, cute LEGO® robot! H.E.R.B.I.E. was introduced to The Fantastic Four comics in 1978, but has enjoyed refreshed popularity in the 2025 Marvel movie The Fantastic Four: First Steps. So much so that in August 2026, LEGO® Super Heroes will release set 76339 H.E.R.B.I.E. Let's take a look at the model and some of the new pieces we've spotted in the images.

Review: 43304 Blaze's Horse Ranch from LEGO® Disney

Hey howdy hey! With Toy Story 5 due for release in June 2026, it will not come as a surprise that the relationship between the Toy Story franchise and The LEGO Group endures. Set 43304 Blaze's Horse Ranch from LEGO® Disney is aimed at younger fans aged 4+, who will perhaps be encountering Woody and his friends for the first time in the upcoming movie.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we'll cover the recolours and new prints as well as a closer look at both the new characters and returning favourites in their LEGO forms.

Review: 75447 The Razor Crest™ from LEGO® Star Wars™

The Mandalorian and Grogu is the feature-length continuation of the saga of bounty hunter Din Djarin and his force-sensitive adopted son/apprentice Din Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda). Ahead of this new Star Wars™ film blasting into movie theatres on 22 May 2026, The LEGO Group have sent me set 75447 The Razor Crest™ for review, which can pre-ordered now in advance of its 26 April release.

Review: 71052 Series 29 from LEGO® Minifigures

I'm excited to collaborate today with a new guest, Four Bricks Tall (@fourbrickstall on Instagram) – a wonderful photographer of minifigures (and even humans). She is also the community manager of Stud Shooters, a toy photography community on Reddit, and has regularly had her photographs published by The LEGO Group.

LEGO® Minifigures Series 29 has been dubbed a "classic" series and brings back a non-IP, non-all-costume lineup of 12 characters to collect. But within that classic moniker, we do get throwbacks to at least three beloved themes: LEGO® BIONICLE®, LEGO® NINJAGO® and LEGO® Monster Fighters! It's also worth noting the anniversaries behind two of those nods: 2026 marks 25 years of LEGO Bionicle and 15 years of LEGO Ninjago, which gives this series an extra layer of significance for longtime fans.
