Two Sonic the Hedgehog licensed products are scheduled for release on August 1, 2026, and we now know the contents of set 77119 Tails' Tornado-1, which contains 310 pieces and has a suggested retail price of €29,99. We also get a first look at set 77120 Shadows Mech vs. GUN Trooper (374 pieces - €49,99).

Both of these products are available for pre-order starting today on the official online store:

The Sonic the Hedgehog range will be enriched with two new references from January 1, 2026 and this license will not escape cars with two sets that feature Sonic, Knuckles and Silver at the wheel of colorful mini racing cars.

Note that set 7118 Silver's Car vs. Knuckles' Monster Truck is already available for pre-order on the official store.

You can also refer to the summary page dedicated to the new features for 2026, which can be found at this address.

A new offer is available on the official online store from today until October 27, 2025: the LEGO IDEAS 40788 Friendly Snails set is free with any purchase of €160 or more on the official online store, with no restrictions on the product range. This small 264-piece set was previously offered under the same conditions in July 2025.

The manufacturer is also offering (or clearing out) four two-packs in the FORTNITE, Minecraft, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Animal Crossing ranges, reducing the price of the cheaper of the two sets by 30 to 40% depending on the item. Nothing crazy; you can usually get just as good ones elsewhere as at LEGO.

If you still decide to treat yourself to one or more of these bundles, don't forget to grab the unique code that will allow you, until November 12th, to get a free LEGO 40712 Micro Rocket Launchpad set with any purchase of €200 or more, with no restrictions on the product range. You can find it here, and you'll need to enter the code in the designated field at checkout.

Today we're taking a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog 40769 SEGA Genesis Controller set , a small 260-piece box currently offered on the official online store with any purchase of €130 or more, with no restrictions on the product range. The offer is supposed to be valid until September 17, 2025, while supplies last.

In this box, you can reproduce the controller of the SEGA Mega Drive console (the European name for the Genesis console) with a micro diorama of the iconic Green Hill Zone from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe on the back. Nothing crazy about the assembly process; it takes a few minutes and the longest part is still sticking on all the stickers provided.

The packaging includes a large sheet of stickers to decorate the micro diorama on the back of the build, three different identification plates, and three complete sets of three buttons for the controller. This abundance of additional pieces allows LEGO to offer this promotional product in all markets by offering a correct model of the controller as it was marketed at the time.

Don't try to compare the LEGO version too closely to the real controller; the product offered by LEGO is only a very rough representation of the object. However, this iconic controller, beloved by a whole generation of gamers, is still easily recognizable, and that's what really matters. For those wondering, the printed tile used to represent Sonic in the middle of the micro diorama is also included in set 77006 Team Sonic Command Truck (€69,99).

LEGO could have sold this set for around twenty euros; the product would certainly have found its audience among retro gaming fans who already have sets 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System and 10306 Atari 2600 on their shelves and who plan to add the console from set 72046 Nintendo Game Boy on October 1st . One might also wonder why LEGO chose the current period for this promotional offer; this little set doesn't fit with any of the sets currently being released on the official online store.

In short, this product is undoubtedly worth the effort of spending €130 on the official LEGO store; the construction is accomplished and the set will be able to sit alongside other products celebrating the gaming consoles of another era. Otherwise, you will quickly find many copies for sale on the secondary market and you will thus avoid paying full price for your sets on the Shop.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO , is, as usual, up for grabs. The deadline is September 21, 2025 at 23:59 PM. Simply leave a comment below the article to participate.

Update: The winner has been drawn and notified by email; their username is shown below.

Get ready for a new promotional offer valid on the official online store from today until at least September 17, 2025 depending on available stock: a copy of the LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog 40769 SEGA Genesis Controller set (260 pieces) is automatically added to your order as soon as the minimum required amount of €130 of purchase without range restriction is reached.

The 260-piece box contains enough to reproduce the controller of the SEGA Mega Drive console (the European name for the Genesis console) with a micro diorama of the iconic Green Hill Zone from the Sonic the Hedgehog universe on the back. Two stickers allowing you to personalize the front of the 15 cm wide and 10 cm high controller are included: one with the SEGA Genesis name, the other with only the SEGA brand.

This offer can be combined with the one which allows you, during the same period, to obtain a copy of the LEGO 40689 Firework Celebrations promotional set offered from €85 of purchase without range restriction via a single-use code to be collected at this address.
