Review: 10349 Happy Plants from LEGO® Botanicals

As a result of transitioning from a subtheme of LEGO® Icons to its own theme earlier this year, LEGO® Botanicals has seen the introduction of several sets geared towards younger builders. The latest of these sets is 10349 Happy Plants, released at the start of June 2025.

Review: LEGO® 40784 African Savanna Diorama Gift with Purchase

The current LEGO® Gift with Purchase (GwP) is African Savanna Diorama, running until 17 July 2025 or while stocks last. It's a gorgeous vignette of African flora and fauna with a pleasing parts inventory, so let's take a trip to the savannah!

Thomas Jenkins' MOCs with new parts in LEGO® Super Mario™ sets

The January 2025 wave of LEGO® Super Mario™ sets introduced 4 new moulds. Mamma Mia! As we are already way over halfway through the year we thought it was about time to take a look at them. So, without further ado: Let's-a-go! 

Tile Special 2 x 2 with Ring (6805) from LEGO® Classic

We spotted a new mould that, at time of writing, can only found in two LEGO® Classic sets from January 2025: 11042 Creative Happy Box and 11040 Magical Transparent Box.

It's a 2x2 tile with a vertical ring, and seems to be a way to hang models in the two classic sets. We are sure it offers more creative possibilities than that, so let's set the New Elementary Hive Mind to work and take a closer look.

Review: 76973 Raptor & Titanosaurus Tracking Mission from LEGO® Jurassic World™

Welcome to the final review in our LEGO® Jurassic World™ Rebirth June 2025 coverage. As has been the case with preceding sets in the theme, each set in this latest wave has been defined by the dinosaurs featured in it. This set has got a big one; the biggest dinosaur made by The LEGO Group to date, I believe.

With such a biggie included, I wonder whether the titanosaurus leaves room for anything else? Let's start by taking a look at the parts.

What are the new LEGO® parts in July 2025 sets?

I've created a list showing all 86 new LEGO® elements within the July 2025 sets, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase.

For those of you who prefer it, here is our list of the July 2025 sets showing their new elements.

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

394 new pieces from LEGO® sets are being added to the Pick a Brick service, which are from March sets. They are available in the US and Canada, but the warehouse servicing the rest of the world encountered some stock issues and not all have yet been added (as of 4 August). The remainder should be added eventually.

Review: 76972 Raptor Off-Road Escape from LEGO® Jurassic World™

The new LEGO® Jurassic World Rebirth sets bring with them a whole group of new dinosaurs. I have already covered some of the bigger beasts in my reviews, and today I'm investigating a set with a cuter critter in it.

A new velociraptor and the minifigure-scale interpretation of Dolores the baby aquilops (a protoceratopsian) are available in 76972 Raptor Off-Road Escape. Will the cuteness of the moulded form exceed that of the buildable baby dino Dolores from set 76970? All the details follow, and let us know what you think in the comments.
