The January 2026 wave of LEGO® Friends sets are now available, and there's a lot of sets to look through. Our first article has a detailed look at the new moulds in January LEGO Friends sets. Now it is time to see what lovely recolours and new prints are included.
The January 2026 wave of LEGO® Friends sets were revealed in early December 2025, and there's a lot of sets to look through. We have already taken a look at some recolours in our article covering the New colours for 2026: 431 Blue Violet and 430 Warm Pink.

Now I will focus on all the new moulds included in the new sets including the animals and accessories, and a second post will look at all the recolours and new prints. A few of the new moulds are also found in other themes released on 1 January.
I've created a list showing the more than 1,400 new LEGO® elements within the January 2026 sets, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase. Among them are new animals, new cheese slopes, new tiles and yet more curved slopes!
Happy new year; happy new elements!
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). We'll examine the new moulds more closely in a future article, but in the meantime, there are plenty of recoloured parts to explore.
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.

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!

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.
