When Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen pivoted his business to plastic bricks, we wonder if he had any idea of the global phenomenon Lego would become. Today, there are many themes, for kids and adult collectors alike. It’s hard to keep track. So we’re doing it for you, with the Stuff guide to the best upcoming Lego sets.

Note: this list covers the best officially announced upcoming Lego sets. There are no rumours, leaks, nor models the writer ham-fistedly pieced together from a pile of random bricks.
June 2026 best upcoming Lego sets
Consider this…
Peanuts: Snoopy’s Doghouse ($89.99/£69.99 • 964 pieces) It was a dark and stormy night… and Snoopy was on the roof of his doghouse again. In this Lego take, the brick-built beagle perches atop his red kennel, typewriter at the ready, Woodstock alongside. He can be rebuilt into various poses, depending on whether he wants to shake a fist at the Red Baron or partake in some marshmallow toasting beneath a starlit sky. We’ll mutter a “good grief”, though, at the ongoing lack of Peanuts minifigs…
April 2026 best upcoming Lego sets
Consider this…
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figures ($39.99/£34.99 • 567 pieces) Cowabunga, etc! Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello return in extremely blocky form, complete with weapons and a literal square-jawed intensity that suggests Brickheadz Shredder is hiding behind your telly. Again, new minifigs would have been the dream, but these chunky shelf guardians will do for anyone still unashamedly shouting “Turtle Power!” in public.
March 2026 best upcoming Lego sets
Buy these…
Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle ($129.99/£99.99 • 1003 pieces): If the Great Deku Tree felt monstrous in size and price, this more modest Zelda set should be easier to swallow. It recreates the climactic showdown from Ocarina of Time, letting you sift through Lego rubble to find recovery hearts or press a button to make Ganondorf burst forth with all the flair of a dodgy magic trick. The brick-built Ganon is suitably imposing, with massive twin swords ready to overwhelm Link and Princess Zelda, before rampaging through your Lego city – until a traumatising meeting with dead-eyed Lego Mario brings things to a halt.
Project Hail Mary ($99.99/£99.99 • 830 pieces): Instead of yet another NASA set, Lego’s heading into sci-fi territory with a build inspired by the upcoming film adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel. The sleek spacecraft features a crank that sends the crew module spinning into orbit, while minifig Ryland Grace stands nearby, wishing the ship were to scale so he didn’t have to lurk in the void.
Ford Model T ($129.99/£119.99 • 1060 pieces): “You want a classic car? Fine! Have the classic car!” someone at Lego probably said before offering up this replica of the 1910 original’s spindly elegance. Everything’s here from the crank handle to the fold-back fabric roof. And while it won’t outpace your Lego Lambo, it’s pure class as a display piece. Now give us a Speed Champions version, Lego.
Consider these…
Up-scaled blue astronaut ($59.99/£54.99 • 793 pieces): If you’re sick of losing minifigs down the back of the sofa, that won’t happen here. This astronaut is blown up to ridiculous proportions, yet fully posable. You can even yoink off the top of the helmet, whereupon the tiny robot can pilot the figure like a gigantic mech. Alas, there’s no Benny cracked visor option, but modders over at Rebrickable are surely on that.
Winnie the Pooh ($149.99/£139.99 • 1399 pieces): Bear likes ‘hunny’. Adults like nostalgia. Lego likes money. The result: this brick-built take on the famous bear and his favourite food – but with a surprise. Open up the ‘hunny’ pot and there’s a tiny interior, featuring minifig Pooh and minifig Eeyore. Which is slightly unhinged and makes it appear as if they’re being held captive by a giant version of one of them. (Hey, Hollywood: we’re available to script this gritty Pooh reboot!)
Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher ($89.99/£79.99 • 735 pieces): Lego’s F1 obsession continues with this lovely recreation of the Ferrari that was so dominant during the 2004 season. Much of that was down to the driver. And, yes, you get minifig Michael Schumacher to stand triumphantly alongside the car, before getting into an argument with minifig Nigel Mansell and minifig Ayrton Senna about who was really best, and deciding on a race-off before they all recognise the scale problem Lego’s inflicted on them.
The best Lego sets of 2025
Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D ($399.99/£349.99 • 3600 pieces): Trekkies might wail at the prospect of beaming up all their cash to Lego. But in return, they get a brick-built Enterprise that rivals anything Lego’s made for a certain other series with ‘Star’ in the title. Along with the ship, you get nine crew members. The ship can be proudly displayed on a stand, allowing you to fiddle with the shuttlebay to free its two tiny shuttlepods. Just resist the urge to separate the command saucer and re-enact a Borg attack. Otherwise the only thing you’ll be engaging is your ability to clean up a massive pile of grey pieces.
Time Machine from Back to the Future ($27.99/£22.99 • 357 pieces): Proof indeed that not every licensed Lego car needs to cost a small fortune. (*cough* Batmobiles *cough*) This famous car, which Lego mysteriously refuses to call a DeLorean, includes all the warranty-voiding Doc Brown modifications required to hurl it through time. Minifig Doc and Marty come along for the ride, and you get the parts to convert the car into its flying form. Just don’t roll it along the desk at 88mph, or who knows when it’ll end up?
Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape ($139.99/£99.99 • 1892 pieces): Lego attempts to recreate real-world paintings land somewhere between tastefully abstract and blocky horror. But when designers are given total freedom, you get little marvels like this. The shadow box is packed full of ingenious techniques, from brick-built birds to water that looks like it’s escaped from a 1980s video game. The waterfall’s superb too, refusing to stay inside the frame and yet hinged so it works whether you hang this Lego art on a wall or place it on a table.
More great Lego sets from 2025…
WALL-E and EVE ($69.99/£59.99 • 811 pieces): If you missed the superb WALL-E set back in 2015, this redo scales things down but dials up everything else. You get WALL-E’s gloriously blocky form, now with his trademark sliding arms. But now EVE (“if Jony Ive designed robots”) and perpetually miffed cleaning droid M-O too. For once, Lego’s even nailed the price. A relative bargain, then, and a set you’ll want to display proudly, not mash into a cube of garbage like WALL-E does in his day job.
Transformers Soundwave ($189.99/£159.99 • 1505 pieces): Lego Optimus was a triumph. Lego Bumblebee? Not so much. Fortunately, Soundwave superior. His blocky form translates perfectly to plastic bricks, making this the best Lego Transformer to date. Huge bonus points also to the designers for somehow getting two of Soundwave’s cassette tape minions working at this scale. Still not convinced? You will be on prodding ‘play’, whereupon Soundwave will emit some of his memorably dulcet tones and – in rather more unlikely fashion – a sting from the original 1980s cartoon.
Game Boy ($59.99/£54.99 • 421 pieces): Lego’s latest tribute to gaming hardware is eerily accurate – a brick-built Game Boy that’s almost the exact size of the real thing. The controls are spot-on too, and you even get swappable lenticular screens and a couple of chunky Game Paks. But surely it’s only a matter of time before someone jams a Raspberry Pi and working screen inside one, so you can play Tetris for real?
And yet more of the best Lego sets of 2025…
Tudor Corner ($229.99/£199.99 • 3266 pieces): Lego’s annual modular building is always a bit special. But this latest entry is like nothing Lego’s released before. Drawing from British architecture, it features a restaurant and haberdashery, with a clockmaker’s above. Alas, no little Lego pints (despite this being an 18+ set), but then you can always make them yourself.
Ducati Panigale V4 S Motorcycle ($199.99/£169.99 • 1603 pieces): Oh yes! If you’re someone who reckons four wheels is two too many, this Technic effort should appeal. Once complete, you can gawp at the shiny red bodywork, mess around with the 3-speed gearbox, and blaze this take on Ducati’s high-performance motorbike along your dining table, making VVRRRRMMMMMM noises when everyone else is out of earshot. Or not.
Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart ($169.99/£149.99 • 1972 pieces): Let’s-a-go! In their ongoing quest to do everything other than sell you Mario minifigs, Lego and Nintendo have collaborated on this giant-sized take on the moustachioed hero and his fancy go-kart. A stand adds dynamism when the build is on display, and you can fiddle with steering and pose Mario’s head and arms. No telling if you’ll be able to zoom the set along a desk, and it’s a bit of a missed opportunity to not provide pieces that’d make Mario work in standalone fashion, so he could play the Lego NES during his downtime. Oh-ho, no!
