Today we are taking a very quick look at the contents of the LEGO Editions 43024 Ayrton Senna Helmet set , a box of 931 pieces available from September 1st at a public price of €89,99 on the official online store and for a little less elsewhere.

This is already the fifth helmet in this range of licensed products launched in May 2026 and as with the other sets, LEGO provides a minifigure of the pilot in question.

Below are the four other references already available:

This is the first time I've held one of these helmets in my hands and I was curious to see what "experience" this product would offer me and how I would approach the aesthetic result.

Assembling the product is a real chore, and even though the techniques used are clearly geared towards the final result, it feels more like a frustrating challenge than a fun, relaxing activity. One can marvel at the sheer number of complex and sometimes surprising sub-assemblies, but in my opinion, the final product doesn't really live up to the complexity of the assembly process.

The model shown here is inspired by the helmet worn by Ayrton Senna in 1988, the year of his first Formula 1 World Championship victory. Its shape is therefore somewhat different from the more recent helmets offered elsewhere in this range. While the helmet looks reasonably accurate from the front and three-quarter views, the back is a different story, with two unsightly bulges and several rather imprecise adjustments.

This helmet is obviously designed to be displayed from the front or at most from the side, but I really get the impression that the back has been left neglected or that the designer never found the right solution for this section of the construction.

Otherwise, I find the overall finish very poor, even for a LEGO product, with sections that need to be properly repositioned after the slightest movement and stickers that don't do justice to a product costing €90. On the plus side, the stickers are provided in duplicate, so you can replace them when they start to peel off the helmet visor.

LEGO deliberately omits the main sponsor of the McLaren-Honda team: the tobacco company Marlboro (Philip Morris). Whatever the legal or moral argument used to justify the absence of the logo, the car's authenticity suffers with this large white space that ultimately represents very little.

As for the pad-printed elements, there are numerous misalignments of the prints, and we know this range of headphones often suffers from this problem. The effect is most visible on the back of the headphones, with both horizontal and vertical misalignments on the colored bands that run around the perimeter.

The subject matter is complex, and in my opinion, LEGO's handling of it is only moderately successful, though the model will still look convincing from a distance. Up close, it's too messy for me, with too many empty spaces and a very rough finish.

The included figure somewhat redeems the set with its attractive printing and double-sided head, but it alone doesn't justify spending €90 on this box. The effect of the open jumpsuit falls a bit flat, as the design doesn't extend beyond the figure's hips at the front and the lower torso at the back. It's a shame the Nacional sponsor logo isn't on the cap; the logo is only vaguely represented by the white band.

I know that Formula 1 fans will be perfectly happy with this model, which they'll display alongside their other helmets; it's a decorative piece, and Ayrton Senna is an iconic champion of the sport. For me, however, this product has definitively convinced me that it's not for me. I like LEGO products too much to find it appealing, and I don't like Formula 1 enough to consider it essential.

LEGO and SONY today unveiled a new product, the first images of which were already available through the usual channels: the 72306 Playstation set with its inventory of 1911 pieces and its retail price set at €159,99.

I don't need to spell it out for you, this is about building a model of the famous game console which will be almost at 1:1 scale. The real console marketed in 1994 measured exactly 27.5 cm long by 19 cm wide and 6.35 cm high, the LEGO version measures 26 cm long by 19 cm wide and 6 cm high.

Inside the PS1 console, here in SCPH-9001 version and which will obviously be accompanied by its controller, you will find two removable side dioramas inspired by the video games Gran Turismo (1997) and Ape Escape (1999).

This is the sixth LEGO-themed game console product, following the following references:

A quick thought for the LEGO IDEAS Playstation 1 project which had reached 10.000 supporters but will obviously be scrapped during the next review phase.

This box will be available as an Insider Preview via the official online store from October 1st, 2026, and will remain exclusive until December 1st, 2026.

Attention LEGO Pokémon collectors: the LEGO Pokémon 4000702 SMART Trophy Tag polybag and the associated 41-piece build were given away during the Pokémon World Championships 2026, and you now have to turn to the secondary market to get a copy of these two products.

As usual, sellers are having a field day with prices reaching dizzying heights, although some offers are what one might almost consider reasonable given the rarity of the item.

Alternatively, you can always hunt for the polybag yourself and assemble the trophy using the instructions below. You'll be missing the small box with the reference number 6668941, but you should be able to manage:

LEGO is doing it again with a new day specially dedicated to members of the Insiders program which will take place on September 9, 2026.

Let's not get carried away, there's nothing special to expect and it won't be the big party some might imagine: Insider points will only be doubled on the DUPLO, Friends, Classic, Creator 3in1, CITY, NINJAGO and DREAMZzz ranges.

And to add yet another restriction to an offer that is already very regulated and limited, the following references will not be affected by this doubling of Insiders points: LEGO CITY 60510 City Advent Calendar 2026 , LEGO Friends 42698 Friends Advent Calendar 2026 and LEGO Creator 3in1 31394 Red Panda.

There you go, you can resume normal activity.

As you probably already know, the Harry Potter saga is returning to the screen soon in the form of a series directly adapted from the books and produced by HBO. We suspected that LEGO would be involved, releasing a large number of merchandise products to accompany the series, and this is now officially confirmed.

A short teaser shown during the Back to Hogwarts Showcase 2026 live event reveals three of the minifigures that will be included in the upcoming sets based on the series: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger:
