One of three gifts with purchase (GwP) currently available on LEGO.com, set 40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan is a bite-sized morsel of LEGO® goodness for LEGO® Insiders members. It is, presumably, the first in a series of four, but unlike previous "... of the World" collections, it comes with a minifigure: a sushi chef. Better still, that minifigure comes with an exclusive torso! Let's take a stool and see what's on offer.
Since its opening in 2017, LEGO® House has seen the annual release of exclusive sets in their shop, typically focused on the history of the LEGO Group. This tradition continues in 2026 with the launch of set 40507 I ♥ Billund, a tribute to the town where the company has been based since its inception in 1932. This set does a couple of things differently, so join us as we break down the many locations and Easter eggs the set contains!
Set 76330 Batman™ Logo is one of four LEGO® DC Batman™sets currently available for pre-order and releasing on 1 March 2026.
While the other three sets are cars, the Batman logo is the one that really caught my eye when the sets were first revealed. With a gold Batman adorned with print celebrating the 20th anniversary of LEGO Batman, I wanted to take a closer look at the Dark Knight's famous emblem.
Thirteen years after the original planned end date, LEGO® NINJAGO® continues to go strong, celebrating its 15th anniversary this year with a selection of sets based on the theme's history. The flagship set of this anniversary wave is 71861 The Old Town, which debuted in January 2026 as part of the "Legacy" subtheme.
The recently announced 11376 Ford® Model T® from LEGO® Icons depicts Henry Ford’s mass-produced automobile that revolutionised transportation.

Read on for details of the set from its designers Stuart Harris and Maria Anna Jędryszek (pictured), as well as info about where and when I ♥ Billund will be available along with exclusive merch and designer signings.
LEGO® Education has been around for decades, but is often overlooked, primarily because these sets are not intended for the home, but for the classroom – often only available for purchase through specialist dealers who only accept teachers as their clientele. In a surprise move, The LEGO Group has released four sets specifically for children aged 7 to 9 in the wider market, grouped under LEGO Education At Home. Let's see what these sets can teach us.
LEGO® Creator 3-in-1 animal sets are praised among adult hobbyists. They have decent value for money and focus on the actual built models – with the extra design challenge of three alternative models from one selection of pieces. Today I'm looking at a sleeper hit from August 2025, 31166 Beautiful Horse, and making my own modification to improve it. It was designed by Aaron Newman, whose 76344 Iron Man Mark 3 Collectors' Edition I took a good look at recently, proving that he can shape humans too. But now, giddy up!
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) 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.
LEGO® Botanicals seem to be more popular than ever before. In January 2026, four sets saw the light of day (reviewed here by Tom), and set 11503 Flower Wall (reviewed by me) was released just two days ago. And today, I'm reviewing two sets that will be available next month.
11510 Magnolia Branches and 11502 Sunflower Bouquet take the recipe that started this theme in 2021: flowers with their stalks or branches, and you use your own vases to display them. I've always liked this concept, as it means that all the parts are used for the plants themselves, leading to interesting parts packs.
