LEGO® Pick a Brick: July 2026 new elements, and price cuts on retiring parts
We have news of two important updates from the Pick a Brick (PaB) service, both happening on Friday 3 July 2026: new pieces are being added, and pieces slated for removal are having their prices slashed.
Review: GwP 40894 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Steering Wheel from LEGO® Technic
From midnight, Wednesday 1 July 2026 LEGO® Insiders can get set 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar early, with the general public gaining access on 4 July. The launch of this massive Ultimate Car Concept Series model is accompanied by an exclusive Gift with Purchase (GwP), only the second ever to be tied to a LEGO® Technic set. With 228 parts, 40894 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Steering Wheel manages to pack some neat functions and elements.

Parts review: 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar™ from LEGO® Technic
A lot has been said about the apparent overload of cars flooding the LEGO® Technic theme in recent years, and I have to agree with the critics. There is one clear exception for me though: the Ultimate Car Concept Series are a staple of the theme. This is where the LEGO® Technic System aspect has the space and budget to really shine, and I am always impatiently surviving the 2 years between each edition. This year, Swedish car manufacturer Koenigsegg has the honor of providing a model for us to build and in my first article examining set 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar™, I will explore all of its new elements.

Review: LEGO® 40902 Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci gift with purchase
A new Gift with Purchase (GwP) is available from today: 40902 Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci, and although it is a high threshold at US$150/ £135/ 150€/ AU$245, there is also a double loyalty points promotion on all products for LEGO® Insiders through to 29 June 2026. If you are interested in any of the pieces being retired from Pick a Brick in the next few weeks, or any LEGO sets due to be retired this year, or have your eye on one of the many new releases like 11377 Minas Tirith, it could be a good time to buy because this is a wonderful GwP.
Let's see what Leo and his cat, Madonna are up to!

Review: 71862, 71863, 71864 and 71865 from LEGO® NINJAGO®
In my final article covering some of the June/August 2026 LEGO® NINJAGO® sets, I'm building 4 of the smaller sets in the wave. Grab your Dragon Claws as we battle against new and familiar foes.

Review: 76331 Batman v Superman™ Batmobile™, 76332 The Batman™ Batmobile and 76333 Batman & Robin™ Batmobile
Back in March, four new LEGO® DC Batman™ sets were released: a Batman logo; and not one, not two, but three new Batmobiles. Our earlier review of 76330 Batman™ Logo covered the first, and now it's the turn of the other three. Guest reviewer Mansur "Waffles" Soeleman returns to cover all the black and very dark grey parts.
I’m not the biggest superhero fan, but I like Batman as much as the next guy, and I do like cars. This mini-wave of Batmobiles has been very well received and praised for its “LEGO® Speed Champions-lite” level of detail. 76331 Batman v Superman Batmobile, 76332 The Batman Batmobile, and 76333 Batman & Robin Batmobile are three different cars with three different Batmen, from three different films!
Not only did I review the sets themselves, including the few new and interesting parts: I’ve also photographed the cars in Liverpool, UK where the 2022 movie The Batman was filmed.

Reveal: 72537 Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird from LEGO® KPop Demon Hunters
The first set from the much-anticipated LEGO® version of the Netflix hit movie KPop Demon Hunters can be pre-ordered now and will be available on 1 August 2026. It features brick-built versions of Derpy Tiger and Sussie Bird!
11 June 2026
Review: 11505 Woodland Mushrooms from LEGO® Botanicals
I think LEGO® Botanicals is the best theme for MOC builders, although I don't have any specific affinity to flowers. However, I have an affinity to mushrooms, which are obviously not plants and thus unsuitable for a theme called "Botanicals". Except that they are not unsuitable, as 11505 Woodland Mushrooms proves. To be honest, it includes plenty of plants too, so maybe we can let that slide.

Review: 11380 Road Bike from LEGO® Icons
The LEGO Group has produced a wide range of vehicles but, as far as I could see, bicycles have so far been relegated to accessories for figures; nothing brick-built. This trend has been broken in a spectacular way, with the humongous 11380 Road Bike.
Find out after the break if there’s substance to back the bulk.
05 June 2026
Review: 71869 Land Bounty from LEGO® NINJAGO®
Destiny’s Bounty is the most famous (and most crashed) vehicle in the LEGO® NINJAGO® theme. One version that is special to me, 70677 Land Bounty from 2019, has received a make-over and comes back as 71869 Land Bounty. How do the two sets compare?

Reveal: 21065 Sagrada Família from LEGO® Architecture
A hundred years after his death, LEGO® Architecture are celebrating the extraordinary, visionary Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. His masterwork, the Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, has been under construction in Barcelona on and off for over 140 years. It finally received its tower this year, crowning it the tallest religious building in the world.
That's not its only record: it has now inspired the LEGO set with the biggest piece count in the world!

What are the new LEGO® parts in June 2026 sets?
I've created a list showing the 1311 new LEGO® elements within the June 2026 sets, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase.
LEGO® Pick a Brick: mid-2026 element removal
An important update! Not only are new pieces being added to LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) today, Wednesday 3 June 2026 but also we have been informed that some 600-700 pieces will be removed from PaB from sale within a few weeks' time; we do not have an exact date.
This article contains affiliate links to LEGO.com; we may get a small commission if you purchase.
So check out the Last Chance PaB list now to add any parts to your cart you've been wanting that are going, and then wait for the pieces in the New on PaB list to go live, which could be any time between now and eight hours from now (last month it happened about 11.15pm ET / 5.15am CET, but it is never regular).

Review: 21368 Peanuts – Snoopy's Doghouse from LEGO® Ideas
It was a dark and stormy night. A doorbell rang! Tim screamed. Could this be the long-lost sister of the boy in the tattered shawl who escaped the castle dungeon after his spaceship crashed? He threw the door open in earnest.
A saturated postman handed Tim a mysterious package from Denmark, and fled into the inky wetness. It was LEGO® Ideas set 21368 Peanuts: Snoopy's Doghouse, which could only mean one thing... Murder! And new elements.
Review: 71871 Battle at the Dragon's Blade from LEGO® NINJAGO®
Last year, LEGO® NINJAGO® launched Ninjago Legends, a miniseries with a different art style to the original. The first instalment, Monstrosity, was accompanied by some great sets, and the upcoming instalment Duskfall will provide us with 3 sets. Today, I’ll be reviewing the smallest of the batch: 71871 Battle at the Dragon's Blade.

Review: 40893 The Lord of the Rings™ – Grond GwP from LEGO® Icons
READ MORE: Ben's Minas Tirith review
Upon its 1 June 2026 release, set 11377 Minas Tirith will face a dual siege: hoards of eager LEGO® fans, and the dark forces of Mordor, in the form of the 40893 Grond Gift with Purchase (GwP).
While falling somewhat short of Tolkien's described scale of a hundred feet, I was nevertheless excited to take a look at the set, and see whether it would manage to batter its way into my heart.

Review: 77985 Dinosaur Fossils: Triceratops from LEGO® Jurassic World™
Goodness Cretaceous me! It's another LEGO® Jurassic World™ dinosaur fossil, but it's not actually Jurassic – Maastrictianly speaking, it's Late Cretaceous – but let's not make bones about it.

Review: 80121 Ancient Moon-Gazing Inn from LEGO® Chinese Festivals
21 May 2026
Review: 80120 Prosperity Carp Leaping from LEGO® Chinese Festivals
According to the folklore printed in the instruction booklet, LEGO® Chinese Festivals set 80120 Prosperity Carp Leaping symbolises "achieving one's aspirations through perseverance and determination", and displaying a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate ornament at home can bring good luck in one's career or studies. I think this is a bit contradictory – do you need to work hard if you have the ornament? Personally, I'd put more faith in the hard work part. Nonetheless, it looks like a great model – especially as we haven't seen too many sets with brick-built fish.

Review: Scuderia Ferrari HP helmets 43022 Lewis Hamilton & 43014 Charles Leclerc from LEGO® Editions Formula 1®
LEGO® Editions is the new theme aimed at teenage builders, and two upcoming sets in this theme depict the helmets of Sir Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Formula 1® has been getting the LEGO touch over the past year across a range of themes including collectable mini cars, LEGO® Speed Champions, LEGO® Technic... and now, helmets.

43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet and 43014 Scuderia Ferrari HP Charles Leclerc Helmet also include minifigures of their respective owners, but we are most excited about the new moulds we spotted back when the F1 helmets were first revealed.

Review: SMART Play™ sets 75421, 75423, 75424 & 75426 from LEGO® Star Wars™
Today I continue our exploration of the new LEGO® SMART Play™ System. In my previous blog post I took a look at all the new molds found in the first 8 LEGO® Star Wars™ sets with ‘enhanced play’, and today I'll be testing if the SMART Brick adds any value to the play experience by building 4 of them: 75421 Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter™, 75423 Luke’s Red Five X-wing™, 75424 AT-ST™ Attack on Endor and 75426 Millennium Falcon™.

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: 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.

Review: 11506 Rocking Plants from LEGO® Botanicals
Happy days are here again – and this time, we're rockin'! LEGO® Botanicals' huge 2025 hit for young and old builders alike, 10349 Happy Plants, expands the family in 2026 with the succulent 11506 Rocking Plants. Obviously the cuteness factor remains sky high, but is this new set grounded in a healthy offering of new elements? The answer is a resounding yes. Let's rock!

Creating classic Tintin® minifigures from LEGO® Ideas 21367 Tintin Moon Rocket
Our earlier review of 21367 Tintin® Moon Rockets took a detailed look at the newest LEGO® Ideas set, but there seemed to be a lot of discussion around the minifigures all wearing spacesuits. The set designers explained that this was a requirement from the Tintin IP holders, as they wanted the minifigures to be wearing their appropriate outfits from Explorers on the Moon.

I thought it would be interesting to try and use official LEGO minifigure elements to change the Tintin characters into their more classic clothing. Let's just say that altering Snowy in his spacesuit proved tricky!

Brick Round, Quarter 1 x 1 (LEGO® part 7532)
While we do not have a copy of LEGO® Pokémon 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise to review, I was intrigued by one of the new elements that is exclusively found in this set (at least at the time of writing).
A few clicks later and I bought a handful of the new mould Brick Round, Quarter 1 x 1 on the secondary market, to take a closer look.

Up, up and away! LEGO® Icons have just revealed a new plane, coming in April 2026: Douglas™ DC-3™ PAN AM® Airliner. While it may not have quite the size of the LEGO Icons Concorde (and frankly, who had the shelf space for that?) the DC-3 certainly holds a comparable place in aviation history. You might say it was as common in its day as the Concorde was rare! But what LEGO rarities and novelties lie within this new set?
