Today we're taking a quick look at the contents of the LEGO NINJAGO set. 71860 Lloyd's Titan Mech, a box of 1293 pieces currently available for pre-order on the official online store at a public price of €129,99 and which will be available from March 1, 2026.
As you probably already know, this product pays homage to the many mechs released over the past 15 years in the LEGO NINJAGO range. With varying degrees of detail and articulation, these mechs have been a mainstay of the range, and LEGO is trying to offer us a comprehensive synthesis of everything that has been produced over the years. This new mech is obviously a reference to the slightly less ambitious one in the set 70676 Lloyd's Titan Mech marketed in 2019.
The offering here is more promising, with a figure over 32 cm tall that's no longer really a child's toy. It's detailed, boasts numerous points of articulation, and can be posed in a variety of more or less original ways, making it a perfect addition to the shelf of a nostalgic fan.
Let's be clear from the start: the construction is fragile, with some sub-assemblies prone to detaching during handling. The numerous points of articulation make the mech difficult to control, and finding its balance point requires considerable patience. It's also important to remain calm when a limb reaches its limit or when a ball joint decides to have a mind of its own and refuses to stay in position.
As you've probably noticed, this mech boasts a feature often lacking in LEGO's other, less detailed, models: it has "real" articulated knees thanks to a section of three aligned ball joints. This articulation allows for a few additional poses previously impossible. Nothing groundbreaking, though; you quickly reach the limits of the thigh and calf articulation.
This mech is good news for fans of the NINJAGO franchise, but also for anyone who's been waiting for mechs from other licenses with a higher level of articulation than what's currently available. The solution used here for the knees is technically sound, even if there's still some room for improvement aesthetically.
In a standing position, the knees are covered by a piece that effectively conceals the kneecaps, but these logically become a little too visible when the knees are bent. An interesting detail is that the front piece acts as a support when the mech places a knee on the ground, thus ensuring the stability of the structure.
This mech is rather well-equipped, featuring a detailed lightsaber that can be switched hands without disassembly, as well as wings that can be combined to form a superb shield. The build's hands are a bit basic, but they appear somewhat less scrawny once the mech is equipped with its lightsaber and shield.
Viewed from the back, the construction is slightly less detailed and the visible wing attachment system looks a bit messy, but at least the lightsaber can be attached to the center of the figure. Under the feet are the usual rubber pads that prevent the model from slipping.
Lloyd can be placed at the controls of the vehicle; simply slide him into the designated slot. No unnecessary frills here; the cockpit doesn't open to reveal his chest. A handful of stickers are also included, though the selection is relatively modest.
Inside the box, you get three figurines: Lloyd, General Grimfax and Hibernus (Elemental Master of Ice), the latter being the collectible minifig celebrating the 15th anniversary of the range launched in 2011.
The Lloyd minifigure is also included in the sets 71861 The Old Town (299,99 €) and 71866 Ninja Character Display (€39,99) and the other two figurines are only available in this box.
Nostalgic fans who discovered the NINJAGO universe 15 years ago will find plenty to enjoy here with a beautifully crafted mech that properly celebrates fifteen years of diverse and varied robots. In my opinion, the tribute is earnest and visually very successful, even if it's not perfect: some areas are visually a bit messy, the joints are quite visible depending on the angle, and the construction is occasionally frustratingly fragile.
The ability to transform the two main wings into a shield in seconds is an excellent idea that adds a lot of character to the whole thing, in addition to the beautifully crafted sword. This well-articulated and aesthetically pleasing mech could pave the way for similar designs in other franchises thanks to the technical solutions it employs.
The NINJAGO universe, conceived by LEGO fifteen years ago, proves here that it remains as relevant as ever. It's clear that the manufacturer still takes great care of its "homegrown" universe, which remains at the forefront after so many years, and that's good news for all those who grew up watching the adventures of the band of young ninjas and who are now fifteen years older. We wish we could say the same for other licenses that LEGO has milked dry for years.

If you're a regular at a LEGO Store, you'll soon be able to get a LEGO Star Wars lightsaber to add to your shelves of plastic toys. You'll need to assemble the product in-store before you can take it home.
As is typical with this type of no-purchase-necessary promotion, expect to find large crowds in LEGO Stores before the launch of the operation, especially for a free product of this type.
The offer is limited to one product per person, on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limited quantity available each day. Don't be intimidated by AFOLs who will try to leave with multiple items; don't push, don't step on the children, and pass on the left.
This offer only concerns the LEGO Stores managed directly by LEGO, not the Certified Stores franchisees managed by Percassi.

LEGO today unveiled a set that almost everyone saw a few weeks ago: the LEGO Technic set. 42228 McLaren MCL39 with its inventory of 1675 pieces, its public price set at €229,99 and its availability announced for March 1, 2026.
As you will have understood from the product title, this will involve assembling the 2025 version of the single-seater, which was replaced this year by the MCL40 on the circuits.
The package includes a Formula 1 car roughly 1:8 scale (or 1:9 if you consider the exact ratio between the real car's length (5.56m) and the 61cm model), a functional DRS system, and all the essential features of this type of product: steering, suspension, a sequential gearbox, and a differential. However, for €230, this high-end product, despite being officially licensed, only comes with four identical wheels.
This product is now available for pre-order on the official online store:

If you have a LEGO fan in your circle who is obsessed with plastic flowers or brick animals, know that you can still offer him something he doesn't have in the form of a nice book to browse through during his spare time.
After LEGO Botanical Almanac Launched in 2025, the publisher Chronicle Books is back this year with the LEGO Animal Field Guide to be published in September 2026, this 109-page book will showcase everything LEGO has ever produced in terms of plastic animals, as well as some new ideas. The illustrations will be accompanied by some facts on the animals in question.
It's always better than giving something the person already has, and it costs you less. It's only in English, it's available for pre-order, and it costs less than €20.
