I've created a list showing all 37 new LEGO® elements within the December 2025 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 late November 2025 sets, showing their new elements.

Review: 11372 Autumn Cottage Garden from LEGO® Icons

As the days grow shorter and colder in the Northern Hemisphere, builders have the perfect excuse to stay indoors and indulge in their hobby. And what better subject matter for this time of year than the latest Gardens of the World set: 11372 Autumn Cottage Garden? 

This cosy new addition to the LEGO® Icons line is packed with autumnal atmosphere, along with a selection of new elements and fresh recolours for us to harvest...

Black Friday / Cyber Monday LEGO® GwP and deals

UPDATE: See the best sets on sale at a glance in the UK, Europe and USA

Black Friday began at midnight 28 November 2025 and the good news is that if you missed out on the two larger Gifts with Purchase (GwP) last week, they're back again! The smaller GwP has been replaced with a rather cool deck of LEGO playing cards, and there's a new LEGO Insiders reward in the shape of 5009626 Fish Tank. The price reductions that began last week continue, and there have also been lower prices on individual bricks at Pick a Brick for a couple of weeks now. 

Note also the LEGO Insiders offer of 1000 points in exchange for just 200! These appear to be limited in number as they are selling out in some countries already. The instructions on the LEGO site apparently give an incorrect URL for redemption – see the comments on this post from our helpful, faithful readers!

Review: 10356 Star Trek The Next Generation – U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from LEGO® Icons

For Black Friday this year, LEGO® Icons goes bold(l)y where no one has gone before. With 10356 Star Trek: The Next Generation: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, we get the first LEGO® Star Trek licensed set ever. 

Bringing the Enterprise D seems like the obvious choice, given the popularity of The Next Generation (TNG) among Star Trek fans and overall TV viewers. But it also brings challenges and problems.

Set review: 42210 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Car from LEGO® Technic

It’s time to turn the spotlight to the LEGO® Technic 42210 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Car. We have already taken a close look at all the new elements in 42210 in our June 2025 Technic wave article, and 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Wheel Loader has been analysed, so let's drift onto the next set and see how those new elements were used in the Nissan Skyline GT-R.

Review: 40864 Fortune Master, 80118 Fortune Firecracker and 80119 Galloping Horses Canvas from LEGO® Spring Festival

Since 2019, LEGO has released sets focused on the Spring Festival, the 15-day celebrations marking the start of the Chinese new year. With the upcoming celebrations for the Year of the Horse running from 17 February to 3 March 2026, three sets come galloping in to commemorate the occasion: 40864 Fortune Master spreads good luck, 80118 Fortune Firecracker starts the year with a bang, and 80119 Galloping Horses Canvas brings success upon arrival of the new year. 

Review: 77237 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Sports Car from LEGO® Speed Champions

Review: LEGO® 40775 Mini Knight's Castle gift with purchase

Following its initial availability over LEGO® Insiders Weekend, the Gift with Purchase (GwP) 40775 Mini Knight's Castle. will return for the Black Friday / Cyber Monday long weekend and be available to all shoppers, rather than just LEGO Insiders. 

Yes, it comes at the shockingly high threshold of 250€/ $250/ £225/ AU$410, which is out of reach for many people. However, if you intend spending that amount on LEGO sets and/or Pick a Brick parts in the near future, and you love classic sets or microscale architecture, or just any great GwP – this comes highly recommended. I think it is just exquisite.

Review: LEGO® 40776 Hot Chocolate Stand gift with purchase

Available over the Black Friday/Cyber  Monday weekend as a free Gift with Purchase (GwP) over the threshold of 170€/ US$170/ £155/ AU$275/ NZ$300, LEGO® 40776 Hot Chocolate Stand is an adorable set of a little cafe shaped like a mug of Christmas cheer! It also features two minifigures and a seating area. Let's take a sip of what it has to offer.

LEGO® Insiders Weekend deals and GwP

LEGO® Insiders Weekend ran from Saturday 22 November to end Sunday 23 and offered double loyalty points (even 4x in some countries on some sets), discounts on products, exclusive Gifts with Purchase (GwP), and there have also been lower prices on individual bricks at Pick a Brick for nearly a week now.

LEGO® Pick a Brick: Thousands of pieces reduced in price

LEGO® Insiders Weekend is underway! On top of all the LEGO Insiders Weekend 2025 Gift with Purchase (GwP) Sets & Deals running across Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 November 2025, we wanted to alert you that there have also been substantial price changes recently on the LEGO Pick a Brick service (PaB), which sells loose bricks individually. Purchases this weekend receive 2x loyalty points and count towards achieving those GwP thresholds.

Thousands of LEGO pieces have had their prices reduced, up to 97% lower. Thanks to data provided by the awesome Ashley Pinner, we've listed every PaB part that is now 40% cheaper or more – that's 2,111 LEGO bits to pick from! Read on to see the visual list of elements, and click any part you like to buy it on LEGO Pick a Brick... while stocks last.

Parts review & MOC: 43257 Angel from LEGO® Disney™

LEGO® Disney™ 43257 Angel caught my attention when it was released in June 2025: an overall rounded, substantially sized character built in a still relatively uncommon colour; an ode of bright pink. As a design, it looks like a pink recolour of 43249 Stitch (review by Thomas Jenkins) with some other changes here and there; new part aficionados will surely notice the gracefully curving tentacles. 

The re-use of previously designed shapes is understandable, as the female character Angel is basically a pink version of Stitch. I'm not a fan of such (relatively common) character design practice, where an established male protagonist gets a love interest by changing colour into pink and adding eyelashes plus an optional heart accessory – all of which were included here. They deserve better.

I'll go through Angel's interesting new parts and present a new MOC that used plenty of them (plus some more pieces – it is not an alternative model), discovering the new possibilities of bright pink.

Reveal: 77258 F1 ACADEMY™ LEGO® Race Car from LEGO® Speed Champions

Coming in March 2026 and available to pre-order now, LEGO® Speed Champions set 77258 F1 ACADEMY™ LEGO® Race Car has just been revealed. This is an especially exciting development, as it is based upon the real thing: The LEGO Group is to be represented on the F1 ACADEMY grid in the 2026 season by driver Esmee Kosterman, as part of a multi-year partnership between the two organisations. 

Even non-carheads like me are excited too because there's not one but three useful new moulds in the set – can you spot them too?

Review: 77255 Lightning McQueen from LEGO® Speed Champions

“Speed. I am speed.” That’s the mantra of Lightning McQueen – and now, he truly lives up to it as the star of the new LEGO® Speed Champions set 77255 Lightning McQueen.

It’s not the first time cars from blockbuster movies have been recreated in the LEGO Speed Champions line, but it seems The LEGO Group and Disney wanted to "give the folks a little sizzle" for the 20th anniversary of the first Cars movie with a bold and fun departure from the usual LEGO Speed Champions lineup.

Waffles' MOCs: Pick a Brick resumed in North America

The LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) Standard service is back in the USA and Canada! Today, Monday 17 November 2025, the range of around 17,000 LEGO parts returned – including 777 new pieces that had already been added in other countries during October and November. 

To celebrate, we have some awesome MOCs to show you, created by guest builder Mansur "Waffles" Soeleman (@lamborghiniwafflesauce on Instagram) using pieces that were added to the European PaB site in October, so should in theory be available in North America now.

Parts review and MOCs: LEGO® Speed Champions: Formula 1®

We sent our contributors Tom Loftus and Kevin J. Walter a selection of LEGO® Speed Champions F1® sets, to test their potential as "parts packs" by creating some custom models and alternate builds. First up though, Tom analyses the new moulds included that we've not yet discussed on New Elementary.

Review: 10366 Tropical Aquarium from LEGO® Icons

Enterprise NCC-1701-D™ for the first time ever back in September at Fan Media Days in Denmark, and read further details from when I spoke to them afterwards.
