Set 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic will be available as a Gift with Purchase (GwP) from 1 to 7 November 2025 with purchases of LEGO® Ideas set 21363 The Goonies, while stocks last. I have already reviewed set 21363 The Goonies but the GwP is an interesting little addition to the main set. Let's head to the attic!
Set 21363 The Goonies originated from a challenge on the LEGO® Ideas platform to recreate some iconic 1980s memories in LEGO form.

In Season 2 of the popular Netflix series Wednesday, her parents Morticia and Gomez Addams move into Rotwood Cottage which is situated within the grounds of her school, Nevermore Academy.
The Gothic-style cottage in the series was redecorated by Morticia in her unique style, so let's see if the designers have managed to capture some of the fun details, in LEGO® Wednesday set 76786 Morticia's Cottage.
Another train is pulling into the station, this time it is LEGO® Icons 10361 Holiday Express Train.
We have already discussed the main controversial element within this set – the latest 3D printed offering from LEGO – but there's more to this train than one element. Let's see what else it has to offer.
Today we head to the rainbow road with a look at the strange new moulds, rare recolours and stand-out build techniques in 72037 Mario Kart™– Mario & Standard Kart.
It’s only 89 days till Christmas! Time to start decorating, and as in previous years, The LEGO Group is releasing sets in various sizes to help you get into the holiday spirit. This year, we get tree ornaments, a gingerbread house, an up-scaled Saint Nick, and even LEGO® Star Wars™ joins in the festivities. But will Santa's sack also contain new elements for us?
LEGO® Ideas set 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo originates from a contest on that platform, and I'm happy seeing a LEGO Ideas set that's not in minifigure scale. But is this little Mogwai a companion worth all the strict rules, and the threat of Gremlins infestation?

Three more LEGO® Wednesday sets were announced earlier this year, so let's take a look at one of these October releases: 76785 Thing's Apartment.
The sets are all tie-ins related to the Wednesday Netflix TV series, a spin-off of The Addams Family focusing on the teenage daughter's adventures at school. 76785 Thing's Apartment is based on a scene where Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair makes Thing its own home.
The Nike x LEGO® lineup has been all about sneakers so far, but 43010 Nike Slam Dunk switches things up with a high-flying twist: instead of building the Dunk you wear, you’re building the dunk you score.
Does the set lives up to its name or did The LEGO Group drop the ball on this one? Let's lace up and find out...
After reviewing 42211 Lunar Outpost Moon Rover Space Vehicle and 42115 Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator, we have come to the final 3 sets from the August 2025 LEGO® Technic wave.
42212 Ferrari FXX K, 42213 Ford Bronco® SUV and 42214 Lamborghini Revuelto Super Sports Car are all vehicles, but each is a bit different. Fasten your seatbelts for a drive in all three!
The Black Pearl has been described on screen as ‘nigh uncatchable,’ ‘the finest ship to sail the seas,’ and even, in Captain Jack Sparrow’s words, ‘freedom.’ That’s a lot for a LEGO® set to live up to but the latest set from LEGO® Icons – 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship – makes a bold attempt to recreate this legendary ship in brick form.
Read on, mateys, as we explore the bounty of new parts included in the set and learn more about the design process from Senior Designer Mike Psiaki. Full speed ahead!
A couple of months ago I took a closer look at the Nike Dunk x LEGO® set, a bold collaboration that turned an iconic sneaker into a brick-built collectible. On 1 September 2025, The LEGO Group and Nike are back on the court with 43021 Nike Dunk Trickshot—a smaller set that again pays homage to the iconic Dunk shoe, this time with a playful twist, and a hidden mini-game to boot!
Not every set features new moulds. Fortunately, here at New Elementary, we also like recoloured pieces.
The latest set to be announced from LEGO® Ideas, 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, is based on the 1971 movie of the same name and will be released on 15 September 2025.

You can sample all the tasty new elements and minifigures in set 21360 in our first article along with background on the original submission, while this article dives like Augustus Gloop straight into the delicious building process.
The latest set to be announced from LEGO® Ideas is 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The set is based on the 1971 movie of the same name, via the original LEGO Ideas submission from 2PPL.
We will examine the LEGO Wonka build process and play features in the next article, but first there are some fun new minifigures, recolours and printed elements to drool over. So let's go where nobody ever goes in... and nobody ever comes out.
Last year, LEGO® Technic released three playsets under a multi-theme-spanning Space banner. Another set was added to the lineup in August 2025; and where the previous sets explored Mars, we now stay (relatively) closer to home – with 42211 Lunar Outpost Moon Rover Space Vehicle.
