Best LEGO® parts of 2025

The end of the year is always a chance to look back – and at New Elementary, that means digging through the parts bins of 2025 to find the highlights. This year The LEGO Group gave us no shortage of interesting new moulds: just over 400 by our reckoning; or about 340 if you exclude foils, cloth and electronics.

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!

Parts review: August 2025 LEGO® Technic sets

August is very near, bringing us five additions to the LEGO® Technic 2025 lineup. The new arrivals are a nice mix: we are treated to two standard cars in 42212 Ferrari FXX K and 42213 Ford Bronco SUV; a remote-controlled vehicle 42214 Lamborghini Revuelto Super Sports Car; a trip to the moon with 42211 Lunar Outpost Moon Rover Space Vehicle; and we move mountains with the massive 42215 Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator.

After venturing out into The Minecraft Movie and Minecraft Legends, the LEGO® Minecraft™ theme returns to the core game with a myriad of biomes to explore. The June 2025 wave of sets includes a new ladder mould, big translucent plates, and menacing enemies, but that's not the only reason New Elementary is excited about this wave – New E alum Aron Gerencsér designed much of this LEGO Minecraft wave!

LEGO® Pick a Brick: new elements added in June 2025

A sense of normality returns to LEGO® Pick a Brick! New pieces from LEGO sets released in February 2025 have been added to the service following the traditional 4-month gap.

There's only 32 pieces this time, almost all of which you can see in the image above, which may be a relief to your wallet after the 1000+ new elements added a month ago! However, one of the ones not pictured above is rare, having never appeared in a commercially available set – read on for details.

Parts review: June 2025 LEGO® Friends sets

Summer is coming to the Northern Hemisphere, and Heartlake City continues to grow with another wave of sets. With 13 products, the range coming on 1 June 2025 is a fair bit smaller than January's, which featured 20, but that won't diminish the quality of the models, or of course the new elements they bring – and there's even a new color.

As with the previous waves, I’ve opened up all the boxes we received for review – 11 of the 13 sets – and dug through them to bring you an overview of all the new elements these bring us, before building the featured models in later articles. 

Parts review: June 2025 LEGO® Technic sets

The second wave of LEGO® Technic for 2025 is hitting shelves next month. It’s comprised of 3 sets: 42208 Aston Martin Valkyrie, 42209 Volvo L120 Electric Wheel Loader, and 42210 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Car. I think it’s not much of a spoiler when I say that each one is attractive to MOCers in its own way.

For now, we’ll take a look at the new elements in all 3 sets, and at a later date, the actual models.
