The gold rush resulted in a hoard; LEGO® Star Wars™ 75398 C-3PO is a rich seam of this precious "metal". Therefore, our Parts Fest featuring creations made using Threepio's elements is about opulence, glamour and gilt. What happens after the medium-sized golden men have been handed out?
“Come on and fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away”
Heartlake City Airlines flies all over the world, and its passengers bring back exotic new elements from their travels for you to enjoy. So fasten your seatbelts as we go on a journey.
Which Gifts with Purchase (GwP) are available in February 2025, and are there any other offers or deals available at LEGO.com? With the announcement of not one but three new GwPs available from Thursday 13 February, we've updated this page with all of the details!
The three available GwPs are all polybags and have the same threshold to qualify. It is a relatively low threshold this time – US$40/ CA$50/ £35/ AU$65/ NZ$70/ €40/ PLN 165/ NOK 465/ DKK 300 – however each GwP is tied to purchases of particular themes: LEGO® City, LEGO® Creator 3in1, LEGO® Friends and LEGO® | Disney Princess.
Europe also get a returning GwP at a higher threshold, only at LEGO.com online.
It's time to hit the books with LEGO® Ideas newest set, 21355 The Evolution of STEM, based on an Ideas submission from fan designer Daniel Bradley who kindly lent us some insight into the set.
The Evolution of STEM celebrates science, math and history with a collection of mini models bursting from the pages of a brick-built encyclopaedia. Without further ado let's book it to the new elements!
Continuing our exploration of what can be done with the golden elements found in LEGO® Star Wars™75398 C-3PO™, I take a brief foray into the world of big cats and classical Greco-Roman sculpture.
If you haven't yet taken advantage of the current double points promotion on LEGO.com, it finishes at the end of Wednesday 12 February 2025! LEGO® Insiders can earn 2x VIP points on every purchase, which is perfect if you are yet to pick up any January or February sets you've had your eye on.
It applies to pre-orders too, which is uncommon for these promotions nowadays, so if you have your eyes on LEGO® Architecture 21062 Trevi Fountain or LEGO® Art 31215 Vincent Van Gogh – Sunflowers, consider using this promotion to earn double points.
LEGO® Disney 43266 Cinderella's Dress is one of two new 'dress' sets revealed earlier this year, the other being 43262 Maleficent's and Cruella De Vil's Dresses.

We have this set for early review as there's a useful new mould in this set, along with some new prints and recolours. Even if Disney Princesses are not your thing, read on, as new elements always bring excitement.
We have already taken a in-depth look at all the new elements found in January 2025's LEGO® DREAMZzz™ sets but there's plenty still to see, as I continue my individual set reviews.

Next up for review is 71490 Izzie and Bunchurro the Gaming Bunny; a set that has some new moulds, a new print and quite a few recolours. Is it worth the price tag?
All that glitters is gold! In this episode of 3x3PO Fest, our Parts Festival using LEGO® Star Wars™ set 75398 C-3PO™, it's my turn to see what I can do with a pile of gold pieces that would make Midas proud.
Revealed last month, 21062 Trevi Fountain is the next landmark from LEGO® Architecture. Tim was able to see the set in person and interview LEGO Designer Mary Wilson during the LEGO® Fan Media Days last year, and now I have a pre-release copy to examine in detail for you.

Set 21062 Trevi Fountain is available to pre-order now in advance of its 1 March 2025 release, but first let me transport you to a sunny day in Italy, to build, as they do in Rome.
LEGO® Spring Festival set 80116 Trotting Lantern is the largest of the 2025 Chinese Traditional Festival releases. I have already reviewed 80117 Good Fortune and the accompanying Gift with Purchase 40756 Lucky Knots, as well as a thorough run-down of all of the new and interesting parts in these sets, so I won't be going over the new elements in any detail here. Instead, I will give you a flavour of the build experience of this set.
Not long ago a Jawa Sandcrawler rolled steadily into New Elementary Farm. Myself, Caz and Ben (Davies, not the old Kenobi) needed someone who spoke Bocce, so we got three copies of LEGO® Star Wars™ 75398 C-3PO.

In the end we lost our interest in speaking Bocce pretty soon, so we demolished the droids to make MOCs. So welcome to the 3x3PO fest, the hottest MOC-building festival in this galaxy not that far away. But before we show you what we made, I'll show you the interesting parts in the set. Be ready for many pearl gold recolours!
LEGO® NINJAGO® have revealed the next addition to the Ninajgo City series, 71837 Ninjago City Workshops, which will will be available for purchase starting 1 March 2025.

I've created a list showing all 48 new LEGO® elements added in February 2025, with links to which sets they come in so you can check for the ones you might be interested in. For those of you who instead prefer our list of sets showing which contain the most new elements, click here, and new pieces added to Pick a Brick, click here.
These sets released in October 2024, and many of their new elements arrived on LEGO Pick a Brick earlier this week. Check out the recoloured elements and new moulds on New E's list of new PaB elements for February!
28 January marks the "birthday" of the LEGO® brick — the anniversary of the day in 1958 when the patent of the LEGO System 2x4 brick was submitted to the trademark office in Denmark. This is celebrated today as International LEGO Day.

As a way to celebrate as only New Elementary can, we decided to test your LEGO moulding knowledgeby posing a series of questions on our social media asking you to identify items in an image. Here are the questions and also the answers, so let's see how many you have right.
Given people are still waiting for October 2024 orders, we understand why many of you will not be ordering anything, but we will continue publishing these lists in the meantime. We have no further update from the Pick a Brick team, so we assume the situation the explained last month is still the case.
Available to pre-order now, and released on 1 March 2025, the LEGO® Art theme returns to Vincent Van Gogh's work with a Sunflowers LEGO set.
LEGO Art 31215 Sunflowers was revealed to us last year at Fan Media Days by Fiorella Lee Groves, creative lead and Stijn Oom, the set's lead designer. The following coverage of the set reveal has been edited for readability and narrative flow.

71497 Cooper's Tiger Mech & Zero's Hot Rod Car is the largest of the LEGO® DREAMZzz™ sets released in January 2025. Time to build a tiger mech or a red flyer or a flying tiger creature... All will become clear!
The first in what seems like a new collection of sets from LEGO® Icons has just been revealed: set 10362 French Café. Designed by Hoang Huy Dang, it will be released 1 March 2025.
In our second part of set reviews from the LEGO® Friends January 2025 wave we visit several locations in Heartlake City that offer food in various forms, starting with a small ice cream truck and ending in an idyllic cottage a beekeeper calls home. While enjoying the sustenance we'll explore the new elements these sets provide.
The LEGO.com January 2025 sale on selected sets continues worldwide, and Australia have now discounted further sets by 20% to 40% off. This is in addition to the other current promotions: 2x LEGO® Insiders points on selected sets, and the Year of the Snake Gift with Purchase (GwP). [EDIT: The Year of the Snake GwP is no longer available as of 26 January.]

The first individual January 2025 set from LEGO® DREAMZzz™that we will take a closer look at is 71491 Mateo with the Z-Blob Action Race Car. Those eye-catching new tyres were calling to us, but anyone with arachnophobia should tread onwards with care.
LEGO® Ideas set 21354 Twilight – The Cullen House has just been revealed! Designed by California-based LEGO fan Nick Micheels, and developed into a product by the LEGO Ideas team with designer Laura Perron, it is available to pre-order today and will be released on 4 February 2025.
Which Gifts with Purchase (GwP) were available in January 2025?
As the February 2025 offers are now underway, we've updated this page to list all the offers that were available around the world during January.
The Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s most renowned landmarks, is coming to LEGO® Architecture... again!
Set 21062 Trevi Fountain is available to pre-order now in advance of its 1 March 2025 release, but was revealed to a select few at last year’s Fan Media Days in Denmark, where we joined our fellow fan media The Brothers Brick and Tips & Bricks for an exclusive chat with Mary Wilson, designer of this bellissimo new set. The transcript we share with you below has been edited for narrative flow and brevity.
I have already compiled a comprehensive list of all the new and interesting elements in the LEGO® Chinese Traditional Festival sets which were released on 1 January 2025, but today I'm looking specifically at the construction of 80117 Good Fortune.
The six products will not be revealed until the (Northern Hemisphere) springtime, and will be available to buy from 1 June 2025.
LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) have added new elements to the service. These are pieces from sets released in September 2024.
This is despite their backlog of orders, which we understand from many readers is now exceeding the delivery times shown on the site. We have an update from the Pick a Brick team: continue reading to see it.
I've created a list showing all 1358(!!!) new LEGO® elements added in the January 2025 sets, with links to which ones they come in so you can check for what you might be interested in. And for those of you who instead prefer our list of sets showing which contain the most new elements, click here.
LEGO® Lunar New Year (aka Chinese Traditional Festival) sets have become increasingly popular since their introduction in 2019. As well as two new releases this year – 80116 Trotting Lantern and 80117 Good Fortune, which I recently looked at the new parts of and shall be reviewing in full very soon – we also get a Gift with Purchase (GwP) in this theme, 40756 Lucky Knots. Now I'm going to take a closer look at the set itself.
Between 1 and 7 January 2025, all purchases of the LEGO® Icons 10350 Tudor Corner set will receive 40757 Corner Kiosk as a free gift with purchase (GwP), while stocks last – and it already appears to be sold out in some countries.

There has never been a LEGO® Botanicals polybag; but in 2025 there will be a LEGO Botanicals paper-based bag! It seems that polybags are so 2024 and next year's small impulse sets will be stored in something else. I like this change – the grainy print of the paper section feels more appropriate to this set. It's a bit like the seed bags sold to gardeners.
