The LEGO® Friends June 2025 wave (August in North America) brings us two sets with a common theme: elaborate outfits. Set 42661 Costume Party with Unicorn & Fairy has the friends partying in fairytale costumes, while in 42674 Comic Book and Game Store they cosplay as their favorite comic book characters.

Review: 43008 Nike Dunk x LEGO® Set
Earlier this year Nike and The LEGO Group announced a partnership promising sets, experiences, and more. The first step in the collaboration is the release of the Nike Dunk x LEGO® Set, a 1180 piece set celebrating one of Nike's most popular shoes, the Dunks.
With a number of new elements including recolours, new moulds, and a new minifigure, let's see if this is a step in the right direction for Nike.

Review: 10375 How to Train Your Dragon – Toothless from LEGO® Icons
REMINDER: 2x points now available
Today we travel to the isle of Berk with a look at the long-awaited first LEGO® How to Train Your Dragon set: 10375 Toothless. I say long-awaited because the first film in the franchise was released in 2010, based upon the book from 2003.

Review: 21358 Minifigure Vending Machine from LEGO® Ideas
In late May 2024 fans were unexpectedly asked to vote on a colour for a new Classic Space astronaut and a Castle faction, to be included in the Vending Machine. So it has felt like quite the wait since the hype started – not only to discover what minifigures would actually be included but also how closely this product would resemble the submitted project. From the publicity images alone, here is a set that looks like it has been worth the wait – so let's delve deeper.

Review: 31217 Tiger from LEGO® Art
As with all art, the LEGO® Art theme is constantly evolving. Last year, 31211 Macaw Parrots was the first set with the label ‘The Fauna Collection’ featuring two flat, stylized parrots not directly based on an artist's work. The second set in the collection is now rearing its roaring head: 31217 Tiger.
Join me on a jungle tour through many new elements to find this majestic creature.
Review: 10348 Japanese Red Maple Bonsai Tree from LEGO® Botanicals
Four years after the LEGO® Botanical Collection debuted with the launch of 10281 Bonsai Tree, The LEGO Group returns to the tree nursery from midnight tonight (Saturday 1 June 2025) with the release of 10348 Japanese Red Maple Bonsai Tree.

Review: LEGO® 11203 Bluey's Family House, 11202 Bluey's Beach and Family Car Trip & 11201 Playground Fun
Hooray! The long-awaited LEGO® BLUEY™ sets are almost here. The new theme launches with 3 LEGO® System 4+ sets which my family and I have reviewed here today: 11201 Playground Fun with Bluey, 11202 Bluey's Beach and Family Car Trip, and 11203 Bluey's Family House; and 2 LEGO® DUPLO® sets, which we will review soon.
With heaps of new elements, including new minifigures, tons of prints, and even a few new moulds (for real life!), there's a lot to discuss. Let's do this!

Review: 10367 Balrog Book Nook from LEGO® Icons
LEGO® Lord of the Rings was very popular back in 2012 and 2013. Less than 20 sets were released, and their aftermarket prices are formidable. The theme returned two years ago under the LEGO® Icons line with more adult-oriented and expensive playsets, flanked by some LEGO® Brickheadz. Compared to 10316 Rivendell (see our review by Ben Davies), 10333 Barad-dûr (review by Jonas Kramm) and 10354 The Shire (review by Thomas Jenkins), the June 2025 set 10367 Balrog Book Nook feels like a modestly sized, affordable model. Except that modestly sized and affordable in 2025 means 1201 pieces for US$129.99/ £109.99/ 119.99€!

Review: 21357 Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. from LEGO® Ideas
1986 was a historic year. The world was rocked by some tragedies; the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after launch and the Chernobyl disaster remains the worst nuclear accident in the history of nuclear power generation. On a lighter note, the disposable camera was invented by Fujifilm, and the animated short film Luxo Jr. was produced and released by Pixar Animation Studios.

The next LEGO® Ideas set to be released is 21357 Disney Pixar Luxo Jr., a LEGO version of the baby lamp and ball featured in the short film, which remains a icon of the company today.

Review: 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft from LEGO® Icons
A new LEGO® Icons set has just landed! 10360 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft is a 2417-piece set that recreates the space shuttle Enterprise and the modified Boeing 747™ that was used to transport it between missions. While LEGO has produced a great number of space shuttle sets in the past, this is the first time to see this specific shuttle in brick form. This is also the first official LEGO depiction of the Boeing 747.
Fasten your seat belts and check that overhead compartment because this jumbo jet is quite a ride!

Review: 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook from LEGO® Icons
With the endless surge of adult-oriented sets, it is astonishing that Sherlock Holmes, the world's most famous detective, has not officially appeared in a LEGO® form – not even as a Gift with Purchase, similar to the Jules Verne set.
Created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1887, Sherlock's influence in storytelling has been remarkable. Thus, it's brilliant to see that his LEGO debut is directly bound to books: LEGO® Icons set 10351 Sherlock Holmes: Book Nook is designed to be displayed among them.

Review: 10352 The Simpsons™: Krusty Burger from LEGO® Icons
The Simpsons™ is one of the most famous and longest-running animated shows ever, and is still going (strong?). The dysfunctional family has been captured in LEGO® form before, and now, after 10 years of silence (aside from a rogue LEGO® Brickheadz set), they are back for a snack – at 10352 The Simpsons: Krusty Burger.
As I was still fully in my LEGO® Technic phase when The Simpsons LEGO sets came out, I’m eager to build the revival, now marketed under the LEGO® Icons umbrella, and discover its new pieces.

Review: 76974 Brick-built Mosasaurus Boat Mission from LEGO® Jurassic World™
LEGO® Jurassic World™ sets have rarely contained brick-built dinosaurs, but the June 2025 offering 76974 Brick-built Mosasaurus Boat Mission depicts some new heroes on an adventure with a brick-built beast of impressive dimensions. The mosasaurus is not a dinosaur, it's a prehistoric marine reptile of epic proportions, so will the LEGO interpretation float my boat or leave me at sea?
