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.

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.

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.
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).
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.
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.
