The next LEGO® Ideas set takes us back to nature: 21366 Floating Sea Otters is available to pre-order now and releases from 1 March 2026.
With a mother otter floating on her back, and the option to cradle her baby or prioritise a snack over being maternal. Yes that is a otter pup and not a chunky otter with a large belly. Let's see if this set otters something for New Elementary readers...
It has been ten years since Star Wars™ Episode VII: The Force Awakens was released and we were introduced to BB-8™. In my opinion, the little rolling droid was one of the stand-out features of that first film of the Disney era. Love or hate the sequel trilogy, I think it's difficult to deny that BB-8 is one of its successes.
The BrickLink Designer Program requires that models use a fixed palette of elements, all already in production. Since New Elementary focusses on new elements, we haven’t really paid attention to the program. But with the 7th series announced, once again filled with sets designed by LEGO fans, one model in particular caught our eye!
NASA and The LEGO Group have partnered up many times before, and this time LEGO® Technic has been chosen to launch us into outer space with set 42221 NASA Artemis Space Launch System Rocket. The timing is perfect, as the real-life rocket is launching in early 2026 – but as at time of publishing, it is due to launch in March following a hydrogen leak during the February dress rehearsal.
When the LEGO® Friends 2026 sets were first revealed, one in particular caught my eye. 42691 Garden Restaurant seemed to be a standout in terms of the building style as well as showcasing the new 430 Warm Pink colour.

Although we have already written two articles about the 2026 LEGO Friends sets – new moulds review and overview and recolours – we wanted to look in more detail at this beautiful set inspired by North African architecture.
Last time we discussed the four most exciting new moulds introduced in the LEGO® Speed Champions January 2026 wave, now its time to take a look the remaining new elements, recolours, prints and the builds themselves of sets 77252 APXGP Team Race Car from F1® The Movie, 77253 Bugatti Vision GT Hyper Sports Car, 77254 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Sports Car and 77257 McLaren W1.
I've created a list showing the just 54 new LEGO® elements within the February 2026 sets, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase.
For those of you who prefer it, here is our list of all the February 2026 sets, showing their new elements.

The LEGO® Pick a Brick service (PaB) have just added about 113 new parts today, Tuesday 3 February 2026 (including the bright green astronaut pieces!). Almost all of them were added at 4am UTC/11pm EST.
As usual we have turned the list in advance from the team into a categorised visual list to help you order. Be aware the list may contain errors in terms of parts that did not get added, or might not include parts that they did end up uploading.
This article contains affiliate links to LEGO.com; we may get a small commission if you purchase.
Furthermore, it seems that unannounced PaB price changes went into effect in the last couple of days. Some pieces are now more expensive, but some less so, and it varies from country to country. Read on for more detail.
