Review: 21065 Sagrada Família from LEGO® Architecture

 

At New Elementary, we enjoy parts, and the November 2026 LEGO® Architecture set 21065 Sagrada Família has a lot of them. Furthermore, it is a eye-opening dose of an architectural past and future.

Review and mod: 21371 Wallace & Gromit from LEGO® Ideas

LEGO® Ideas set 21371 Wallace & Gromit from is the 80th release to come from the fan-designed theme. As a long-time fan of Aardman's characters, and these two in particular, I was excited to get the opportunity to take a closer look at the set and its new contents.

Review: 77263 BMW M3 (E30) from LEGO® Speed Champions

Celebrate the 40th anniversary of a motoring icon with... a rock Golem? Today I take a look at the August 2026 LEGO® Speed Champions set 77263 BMW M3 (E30). Read on for my review of the model and MOCs inspired by some of its parts.

Bar 6L with Stop Rings, Double Bent (7078)

LEGO® has a new(ish) stick that I've been wanting to have a poke about with: Bar 6L with Stop Rings, Double Bent or, as LEGO call it, Shaft 6 Module, w/ Flange (part 7078). Staggeringly, it's been available for a year already and I haven’t had a chance to properly shake this dog leg yet!

LEGO® Pick a Brick: late 2026 element removal

LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) last had a clearout of their warehouses to make way for new stock in June 2026, and now another, much bigger clearout is happening! We have received a new list of over 1800 elements on PaB that, once sold out, will no longer be restocked (unless they appear in a future set).

Review: 21373 Downton Abbey from LEGO® Ideas

“We’ve been expecting you.” Welcome to Downton Abbey, or Highclere Castle as the famous country house is known in the real world. After spending quite some time in intellectual property approvals, this LEGO Ideas project was finally approved, and in October 2026 we can buy this monumental landmark.

We received an early copy for review, and also spoke to the design team as part of a roundtable presentation.

What are the new LEGO® parts in September 2026 sets?

I've created a list showing the 352 new elements within the September 2026 LEGO® sets, with links to which ones they come in, in case you wish to purchase. Because there are LEGO® Minifigures and Advent Calendar sets among them, there are a lot of elements missing their Element ID. We will update when we know them.

This month is dominated by specialized pieces for intellectual properties beginning with "S" – Shrek, Star Trek and SpongeBob. These will almost certainly not be added to Pick a Brick in four months' time.

Review & MOCs: 21365 Love Birds from LEGO® Ideas

We have a guest article from Margit Bermudez (on Flickr and Instagram), a frequent Iron Forge competitor and active member of PortLUG and BioniLUG. We sent her a copy of a January 2026 set containing some parts in the new warm pink color to explore.

Looking for a nice-sized display piece? Want to build your own trees, or a vibrant coral starfish? Read on for my review of LEGO® Ideas set 21365 Love Birds and a couple of MOCs inspired by its recolors.

LEGO® Pick a Brick: September 2026 new elements

About 180 pieces were added to LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) on Tuesday 1 September 2026. The included elements are from sets released in May.

Element analysis: Wing 1 1/2 x 1 x 1 (8193)

New moulds are appearing at a dizzying rate these days, and yet, most seem to just be variations on existing parts; prime example being the never-ending supply of curved slopes in every size and shape imaginable. Every now and then, however, there's a newbie that feels distinctly... well... distinct! Enter the baby fin: adorable, unique and oozing with potential. Let's take a closer look.

Review: 42233 Mighty Machines Series 1 from LEGO® Technic

Big ideas in tiny boxes. Today I rekindle my interest in LEGO® Technic with a look at Series 1 of the new blind-box collectible series: 42233 Mighty Machines. Childhood Me would've gone mad for these: they're super-duper inspiring, lovely little builds that just make me go "wheeeeee"! To top it off, they contain interesting new moulds.

LEGO® Pick a Brick: August 2026 new elements

Just over 100 pieces were added to LEGO® Pick a Brick (PaB) on Tuesday 4 August 2026. The included elements are from sets released in April.

What are the new LEGO® parts in August 2026 sets?

I've created a list showing the 941 new LEGO® elements within the August 2026 sets, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase.

That's unusually high for August releases, but the new parts in LEGO® Pokémon SMART Play™ sets account for a lot, and those are only available in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France and Poland.

New moulds in LEGO® Pokémon SMART Play™ sets August 2026

Stand by, trainers: prepare to catch, bond with and train your Pokémon with the August 2026 wave of LEGO® Pokémon SMART Play™ sets now available, but only in the US, UK, Australia, Germany, France and Poland.

This first article takes a look at all the new moulds, and there are plenty to be found amongst the fifteen sets (including the two paper-poly bags and a gift-with-purchase set).

Review: 11382 Hubble Space Telescope from LEGO® Icons

The Hubble Space Telescope is almost as cool as LEGO® sets, so combining the two is a brilliant idea. On Saturday 1 August 2026, LEGO® Icons set 11382 Hubble Space Telescope is available: a detailed, realistic model both inside and out, and it's minifigure-scale! Let's take a peep.

Review: 21067 Tower Bridge from LEGO® Architecture

Tower Bridge is one of London's most iconic landmarks, so it is no surprise that it has been immortalised in LEGO® bricks several times. It has appeared in miniature in the LEGO® Architecture Skyline series set 21034 London. The 10214 Tower Bridge version had a shelf life of 8 years, so it must have been popular. But that set retired in 2018, so it is perhaps no surprise that the LEGO Architecture designers have decided to recreate it again, in a slightly smaller scale than its bigger sibling, as 21067 Tower Bridge. Let's take a closer look.

Review: 21370 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial from LEGO® Ideas

It's time to grab your Speak and Spell and mount your BMX, because E.T. needs to phone home. Set 21370 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is the latest set to emerge from the LEGO® Ideas platform.

It's not just 1980s nostalgia in the box; there's a new mould, a couple of new prints and a lot of medium nougat to feast on.

Review: 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade from LEGO® Super Mario™

It's-a me: Jumpman! In August 2026, Donkey Kong and the protoype Mario will appear together in LEGO® Super Mario™ 72051 Donkey Kong Arcade which recreates the game that introduced the world to these iconic characters for the first time. It's a playable game, to a degree – Jumpman is able to jump and move forward, but unable to climb. 

How high can we get on its new elements?

Build review: 11381 Jaguar E-Type from LEGO® Icons

The Jaguar E-Type is a paragon of British automotive design. It was revealed to the world in 1961 in legendary "a race for the finish line" style. It had an impressive reception at the Geneva Motor Show where it was appreciated not only for its looks but its technical innovation and capabilities. The E-Type subsequently became part of the visual make-up of the "Swinging Sixties". Like lava lamps, Andy Warhol, The Beatles and the space race, it helped define a groundbreaking era.

Following in the tyre tracks – or more appropriately, the optimal racing lines – of other LEGO® Icons vehicles, this lean green driving machine has a lot to live up to. I’m hoping, like its real world counterpart, the LEGO 11381 Jaguar E-Type will delight and impress in both looks and construction.

Review: 11513 Dark Flowers Arrangement from LEGO® Botanicals

The LEGO® Botanicals theme has several frequent typologies, one of which is the classic bouquet that requires an external vase for display. Last year's 10345 Flower Arrangement (see Thomas' review of set 10345) offered an alternative with a brick-built base that makes the model straightforward to display while keeping the essential idea of arranging different flowers with varying colours and shapes. Set 11513 Dark Flowers Arrangement is a smaller version of 10345 with a Gothic twist. It is a fitting arrangement for fans of old leather-bound books, black wax candles and Tim Burton. 

Parts review: 11381 Jaguar E-Type from LEGO® Icons

We've got the pedal to the metal on our review of LEGO® Icons set 11381 Jaguar E-Type, but first we're taking a quick detour to look at the parts included.

We're going green – British racing green – or rather, the closest LEGO® alternative, 141 Earth Green a.k.a. Dark Green. And you'll be green with envy too, because there's a lot of this lovely colour to covet!

Review: 11374 Arcade Pinball Machine from LEGO® Icons

While the LEGO® Icons theme is primarily known for delivering intricate models intended for display, the new 11374 Arcade Pinball Machine instead attempts to deliver a model where function is as important as form. Promising a fully-playable game of pinball using just LEGO bricks, I was understandably curious to examine how the model was constructed.

Build review: 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar™ from LEGO® Technic

The latest addition to the LEGO® Technic Ultimate Car Concept Series is packed with great new elements, as I revealed previously. Today, I’m finally building the set and find out if 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar also provides a satisfying build and finished model. 

Review: GwP 40912 Sea Serpent from LEGO® Ideas

LEGO® Insiders Days 2026 are now underway in Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and this year's gift with purchase (GwP) is set 40912 Sea Serpent, a reinterpretation of 6057 Sea Serpent, a LEGO® Castle set from 1992. This model is based on the winning entry to the LEGO® Ideas contest A Twist of Nostalgia. Anchors aweigh!

Review: 11512 Hanging Golden Pothos from LEGO® Botanicals

LEGO® Botanicals theme offers an alternative to people who want to have some greenery in their home but are unable to keep real houseplants alive. Plastic stays green long after we people are long dead – as H.P. Lovecraft said, "that is not dead which can eternal lie". 

11512 Hanging Golden Pothos certainly takes the lifelikeness to the maximum, being easily mistaken for a real, living Pothos. Is realism enough to make a great set?

Review: 21066 New York City – The Big Apple from LEGO® Architecture

The latest set from LEGO® Architecture, 21066 New York City – The Big Apple continues The LEGO Group's enduring love of the city that never sleeps. Its simple colour palette does not mean there are no new elements: there are recolours to enjoy. Let's take a bite and see what's inside.

LEGO® Pick a Brick: July 2026 new elements

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.

What are the new LEGO® parts in July 2026 sets?

I've created a list showing the 110 new LEGO® elements within the July 2026 sets, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase.

It's a light month between the June and August juggernauts, but still there is enough to be excited about!

• The latest edition to the Ultimate Car Concept Series, 42232 Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Megacar, introduces a ton of new molds for Technic fans to enjoy. Read all about it in my LEGO Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear review.
• The bright light blue Classic Space minifigure finally gets their helmet, as well as a baby, in 11374 Arcade Pinball Machine. Keep an eye out for our upcoming review.
• Normally, the Bricklink Designer Program sets only use existing elements. However. 3 sets in Series 7 do feature new ones. Most of them can be found in 910061 Antique Collection, read more about this set in my review of the BDP cabinet.

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.

Review: 75442 The Mandalorian's N-1 Starfighter™ from LEGO® Star Wars™

The creation of the Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter was a clever attempt at some Star Wars™ fandom faction fusion. It blends what was beloved about the original trilogy’s lived-in, rugged, utilitarian, guts-on-the-outside design and applies it to a ship that epitomises the opulent Art Nouveau aesthetic of The Phantom Menace. Then it bundles that all together with one of the most popular duos of Disney-era Star Wars content. It’s a breathtaking move, perhaps giving many divided clans of fans something to agree on.

Will the LEGO® version of the N-1 impress? There's no yellow paint to grind off before we can see what's what, so let's take a look at the parts and see what this thing's made of!

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!

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.

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).

LEGO® Pick a Brick: June 2026 new elements

In the early hours of Wednesday 3 June 2026, 115 new pieces from February 2026 LEGO® sets were added to the Pick a Brick (PaB) service which is available in Europe, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

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: 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith™ from LEGO® Icons

READ MORE: Ben's Grond GwP review

While The LEGO Group has intermittently produced sets based on The Lord of the Rings since 2012, it is only since the theme was revived under the LEGO® Icons banner in 2023 that we have received sets distinctly aimed at adults.

The largest of these is the upcoming June 2026 set 11377 The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith, depicting the tiered capital city of the kingdom of Gondor. With an enormous piece count (and price to match), will this set live up to the source material? Let's take a look!
 

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. 

The LEGO Group has done just that though! Their second full-skeletal interpretation of a dinosaur represents the ever-popular Triceratops, specifically, Triceratops Horridus, and I'm excited to examine the exhibit. I must acknowledge, however, that my expectations are high.

Review: 80121 Ancient Moon-Gazing Inn from LEGO® Chinese Festivals

At first sight, 80121 Ancient Moon-Gazing Inn has several similarities with the prior LEGO® Chinese Traditional Festival sets: Chinese architecture with roof-ridge ornamentation, a focus on food culture, and cheerful minifigures having good times together. However, in contrast to the prior sets, the Inn ditches modern-day minifigures, focusing on a historical scene instead. Packed with 1,530 pieces including nine minifigures, there's a lot to see – unless you're looking for new, exciting pieces.

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.
