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!

Earlier this month Tim provided us with a tantalizing preview of all the new elements coming in the January 2026 LEGO® City sets along with insight from Design Manager, Christopher Leslie Stamp. We now have the entire wave of 17 core sets for a hands-on review (excluding the somewhat incongruous Rides subtheme).

And so, in no particular order, let’s celebrate the ones that caught our eye (and our builds), with links for you to learn a bit more about each of them via the awesome New Elementary team, who have invested so much time investigating them for you in 2025!
