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.

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.

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.

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.
