Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO ICONS set 40768 Star Trek: Type-15 ShuttlepodA small promotional item of 261 pieces will be offered on the official online store from November 28, 2025 to December 1, 2025 with the purchase of the LEGO ICONS set. 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D (379,99 €).

Star Trek fans should appreciate getting this LEGO minifigure version of the Type-15 shuttle, which was carried multiple times on the Enterprise. In my opinion, it's a good choice for a promotional product intended to reward customers who purchase the set. 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D from its launch.

This is the Onizuka module, named after astronaut Ellison Onizuka who died in the Challenger space shuttle explosion in 1986, piloted on screen by several characters depending on the mission: Data and Geordi La Forge notably piloted this shuttle.

LEGO chose to include the Ro Laren minifigure with the set, but the manufacturer made a mistake: they advertised the stardate 45076.3 on the sticker representing the shuttle's LCARS system, a reference to the "Ensign Ro" episode from the fifth season of the series. However, the sticker actually features the stardate 44885.5, which refers to an episode in the fourth season in which Geordi La Forge is piloting the shuttle. It's a shame, though this mismatch between the reference and the included minifigure probably won't keep many people up at night.

Otherwise, the shuttle is fairly faithful to the version seen on screen, its assembly is entertaining, and only the disappointing sticker sheet mars the overall impression. Most of these stickers use a transparent background, which in theory avoids the usual color mismatch between their white background and the color of the pieces they're applied to, but the adhesive will still be slightly visible through the surface. You can't have your cake and eat it too with LEGO.

The Ro Laren minifigure can be placed in the module, hence the announcement of a minifigure-scale version, and it suffers from the same manufacturing defect as the other uniformed figures in the set. 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-DThe red area on the torso is indeed not entirely consistent with the color of the arms, which are dyed throughout. We can take comfort in the fact that the entire cast is perfectly matched, flaws and all.

This promotional product is therefore aimed at fans of the franchise who will pay for their copy of the LEGO ICONS set. 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D at full price from November 28, 2025, and in my opinion, it fulfills its mission brilliantly. However, it's not a DLC that will be missed by those who choose to wait for a better price on the big box; it's simply a nice nod to an iconic shuttle from the Startek saga, intended for fans of the franchise.

Today we take a quick tour of the content of the LEGO ICONS set 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, a box of 3600 pieces which will be available on the official online store from November 28, 2025 at the public price of €379,99.

As you probably already know, this version of the Enterprise is inspired by the series Star Trek: The Next Generation It aired from 1987 in the USA and from 1996 in France. Those hoping for a version based on the 1966 series with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are therefore disappointed; LEGO has chosen to go back less far and capitalize on the nostalgia of a more recent generation of fans.

That being said, the Enterprise has more or less retained its characteristic look throughout the series and films of the Star Trek franchise, and those who might be relatively disappointed not to get the first variant of the ship will easily be content without complaining too much.

Recreating a ship like the Enterprise with LEGO bricks was a challenge, and you can tell the designer struggled in places to create the most believable model possible. The result is acceptable in my opinion, considering the aesthetic constraints, but there are still a few finishing details that might disappoint those hoping for something more polished, particularly the front disc.

While the model retains the oval shape of the original spaceship, the surface treatment disrupts the intended effect by introducing lines and notches that visually disturb the overall design. LEGO has made an effort to enhance the rounded shape by including printed pieces that form the disc's edge with near-perfect continuity, but this effort is negated by the placement of the surface plates, compounded by the presence of brown pieces that add little visual interest.

The use of flexible tubes to represent the gap between the rim of the disc and the central area doesn't strike me as very convincing; it's a rather simplistic shortcut that gives this high-end model, sold for €380, a cheap look. These tubes don't bend completely uniformly, and the result is, in my opinion, far from satisfactory.

The rest of the 62cm-long ship is more successful, with well-defined curves and a very decent finish on the two propulsion units. This model is not lacking in detail, which should appeal to fans who can overlook the overall design: an accessible shuttle hangar, two Type-15 micro-shuttles, a saucer held in place by an ingenious system and detachable for recreating the scenes in which this element is separated from the rest of the ship, and a plethora of stickers that add some character to the whole thing. In reality, no one will really take advantage of this "feature" that allows the ship to be split in two, except perhaps for easier storage in its box without having to disassemble everything.

For those wondering, there is no interior in this spaceship; don't be misled by the promotional video currently circulating on social media. In fact, if you look closely, you can find the mention "Bridge setting is not part of the LEGO set".

Assembling the model is enjoyable, with highly original techniques that achieve the desired result, and despite a few slightly repetitive phases, it's never really boring. The disc's design is the most tedious step; you quickly realize that the finish will be very rough and that the expected curves are only vaguely represented. The black patterns on the disc's edge are pad-printed.

The spaceship is mounted on a somewhat crude but unfailingly stable stand, with a presentation angle that does its best to highlight the object and visually conceal the black stand. The staging is dynamic, and the stand is almost forgotten when viewed from above.

The small, printed display plate isn't attached to the stand; it's presented separately, somewhat isolated. The included minifigures are lined up on a second, rather uninspired stand, adorned with a sticker reminding us that this product is inspired by the series. Star Trek: The Next GenerationThere was undoubtedly potential to combine everything to make it a more ambitious element of the model.

As is often the case, the background color of some of the stickers doesn't perfectly match the color of the pieces they're applied to; there are even several shades of gray on the pieces used. This is particularly noticeable on the surface of the saucer; LEGO still hasn't managed to achieve a consistent color scheme.

The joke of the moment is actually another mistake that LEGO didn't notice before printing the included stickers. There is indeed a mistake in the phrase printed at the bottom of the gold sticker: "...to boldly go where no man has gone before."should have been"...to boldly go where no man has gone before."

The minifigure selection is quite substantial here with nine characters and a cat: Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker, Lieutenant Worf, Lieutenant Commander Data, Doctor Beverly Crusher, Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge, Councilor Deanna Troi, Bartender Guinan, Young Wesley Crusher and Spot the cat.

It's difficult to criticize LEGO's selection; the cast is decent, and LEGO hasn't skimped on the essential details needed to make certain characters believable. However, one can be concerned about the manufacturer's inability to properly print on a black background. All the uniformed minifigures suffer from the same manufacturing defect: a slightly dark tint that doesn't quite match the color of the characters' arms. This is a shame, considering that the appeal of these minifigures relies solely on these colored areas, the uniforms being complemented by pairs of neutral legs. Once again, the heavily retouched official images are a bit too optimistic compared to reality.

Each character is accompanied by a more or less iconic accessory, some of which are direct references to scenes from the series: a teacup for Picard, a paperclip for Riker, the cat Spot for Data, an engineering tool kit for La Forge, a Phaser for Worf, a TR-560 Tricorder for Crusher, a portable tractor beam for Wesley, a PADD (Personal Access Display Device) for Deanna Troi, and a bottle for the barmaid Guinan. All the better for the most dedicated fans, who should appreciate these nods directly to them.

Was it absolutely necessary to attempt a reproduction of the Enterprise at this scale? That's far from certain, given the aesthetic compromises and the somewhat messy appearance of the saucer's surface. A version Midi Scale could have been convincing, it would inevitably have overlooked certain details but it would also have allowed us to avoid the somewhat crude rendering of certain areas in the current version.

Star Trek isn't Star Wars, and I doubt LEGO will ever release a whole series of Enterprise variants. There's certainly a market for the product shown here among the franchise's many adult fans, but there's no guarantee a full range of variants would find an audience, especially with designs too similar to justify collecting. So, we'll probably have to settle for this version from a series more recent than the 1966 one. A shame for those like me who would have preferred to get the original cast.

Today we'll take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO promotional set. 5009823 Fish Tank Filter & Fish Food, a small box of 177 pieces which will be offered to members of the LEGO Insiders program on the official online store from November 13 to 19, 2025 for the purchase of the LEGO ICONS set 10366 Tropical Aquarium (449,99 €).

As you probably already know if you've been following along, the contents of this little set are meant to "enhance" the aquarium by adding a filter to be installed outside the structure, inside which you'll find a fish that seems to have wandered in. The whole thing comes with a small box of fish food. It's hard to criticize the product's design; it does indeed resemble some aquarium filter models, and the construction isn't out of place.

Even better, the model is designed to sit on the frame of the €450 faux aquarium, thus reinforcing the lifestyle "illusion" so touted by influencers of all stripes by perfecting the object's look. Why not, even if it seems obvious that LEGO has once again extracted content from the main set to artificially create a promotional product intended to entice hesitant customers at launch.

However, I don't think that if the filter had been supplied with the aquarium from the start, it would have changed much in terms of perception: the aquarium is too expensive in any case, and I personally find it totally outdated and a failure in some respects, with or without a filter.

The lifestyle approach is, in my opinion, superfluous here, and a simple aquatic diorama without all the trappings of the frame and filter around it would have been far more convincing, in addition to being a reproduction of animals in their natural element and not in the living room of John and Brenda, who are only too happy not to have to feed or watch these plastic fish die.

For those worried about the appearance of a fish that ended up in the filter and is therefore doomed to float on its back in the bowl, rest assured that you can remove it from the structure and place it directly in the aquarium. Phew, problem solved! The small box of fish food is rather pointless; its only redeeming feature is the printed design on the front of the packaging. You can still play at feeding your plastic fish, but don't overdo it.

In short, if you've already fallen for the aquarium and are eagerly awaiting November 13th, this filter will undoubtedly seem essential, and you'll happily spend your €450 at LEGO to get the "complete" set. Otherwise, you can save your money and spend it on another set without regretting not having gotten this 177-piece filter.

You'll also have the satisfaction of having avoided that somewhat underhanded tactic of offering DLC ​​separately for a limited time, forcing you to buy it at full price. That is, until the tactic is applied to a product you actually want, which will inevitably happen one day.

Today we'll briefly revisit the contents of the LEGO Disney set. 40774 Classic Animation Scenes, a box of 270 pieces currently offered and at best until November 11, 2025 on the official online store from €130 purchase without range restriction.

Almost everything has already been said about this promotional product, initially offered by Disney on its official online store before being offered by LEGO. The principle is simple: you assemble a slightly vintage, cartoon-style television and three inserts that slide one after the other into the space provided for this purpose.

The idea is brilliant, the execution is perfect, I don't see much to criticize about this little product which could easily have been sold for around twenty euros and found its audience.

Assembling the product takes only a few minutes but is still entertaining. You stick on four stickers, whose background color unfortunately doesn't perfectly match the color of the pieces they're applied to, and that's it. The three micro-builds are well-executed, and the theme is immediately recognizable despite the limited inventory. As a bonus, you get two figurines, which are unfortunately not new: Woody and Simba.

The Woody minifigure reuses a torso, head, and hat available from LEGO since 2019, and unfortunately omits the legs and boots, which have already been included in a handful of sets. The Simba minifigure is the one included in the LEGO IDEAS set since 2024. 21352 Magic of Disney.

If you have the opportunity to place an order on the official LEGO online store, I think the effort of reaching the minimum order amount of €130 is well worth it. You end up with a very nice product that would make a great gift for a Disney fan during the holiday season. Without going into too much detail, I think it's one of the best, if not the best, promotional products LEGO has created this year.

If you are also good with your ten fingers, the possibilities for expansion are numerous: simply reuse the format of the inserts provided to create other scenes inspired by Disney films and associate them with your favorite minifigs.

Today we take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO IDEAS set 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic, a small box of 179 pieces which will be offered on the official online store for the purchase of the LEGO IDEAS set 21363 The Goonies (€299,99) from November 1, 2025.

This small promotional product is once again intended as a DLC for the main product whose launch it will accompany, but unlike other sets of the same type such as the LEGO Star Wars reference 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Rack difficult to separate from the set 75419 Ultimate Collector Series Death Star, this box offers a completely independent construction from the set that will allow you to obtain it. This attic is in fact not designed to be integrated into the diorama nestled within the hull of the Inferno and it will therefore have to be displayed separately.

Nothing crazy here, with a well-executed and relatively detailed micro-attic, a few nods to the film in the form of trinkets to fill the place as well as the figurines of Irving and Irene Walsh. This mini diorama is part of the desire to unfold all the storytelling of the film through the two products concerned, we will be able to "replay" the scene of the discovery of One-Eyed Willy's treasure map.

This little box at least has the merit of allowing you to obtain a pretty Tile pad-printed with the name of the film, which will potentially adorn a home display to showcase the 14 minifigs obtained in total. There are also more stickers here than in the set 21363 The Goonies with six stickers for the attic versus four for the ship.

We're not going to blame LEGO for trying to motivate the first buyers of its products by offering them something attractive; these customers pay a high price for their boxes, so it's important to take care of them. This promotional product will allow them to obtain a nice complement to the main diorama, two additional characters, and a few accessories that are always worth taking.

It will always be possible to skip this offer and not regret the absence of this attic on your shelves, this small set is to be reserved for unconditional fans who will make the effort to pay the big box at its public price upon its launch rather than waiting for the predictable clearance of this niche product which is aimed at a nostalgic adult audience at a reduced price in a few months.

Today we'll take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO IDEAS set. 21363 The Goonies, a box of 2912 pieces which will be available on the official online store as an Insiders preview from November 1, 2025 at a public price of €299,99. This is not the first foray of the license at LEGO, in 2017 the defunct LEGO Dimensions concept allowed us to obtain a Sinok figurine and two associated micro-constructions in the Level Pack 71267 The Goonies (29.99 €).

If you've been following along, you'll already know that this product from the LEGO IDEAS range is an interpretation by the brand's designers of the winning idea from a competition held last year on the LEGO IDEAS platform.

Like many of you, I took advantage of the product announcement to rediscover the initial proposal submitted at the time by fan designer Vaggelis Ntezes (Delusion Brick), and the conclusion is clear to me: we are moving from a creation that deserved to become an exhibition product for adult fans of the film released in theaters in 1985 to a construction that is at best on par with what the most accomplished sets in the Creator range offer.

The LEGO grinder has struck again, and in the process, we lose the atmosphere and finish of the reference proposition. The product's retail price, however, remains as high-end as ever, requiring you to pay €300 to buy this diorama, which cleverly combines several scenes from the film by packaging them in the hull of the ship. The brilliant initial idea remains, but it has ultimately been handled with an obvious concern for economy and a creative bias that is, to say the least, questionable.

Upon arrival, we get a playset for adults somewhat in the spirit of the LEGO Indiana Jones set. 77015 Temple of the Golden Idol, with a succession of aligned scenes all equipped with more or less anecdotal features: a trapdoor that opens to make Data fall, two rocks that fall by pushing a lever, the organ that releases coins, the slide, etc.

Why not, LEGO is a toy manufacturer and so you have to be able to have a little fun with the model to build here and The Goonies is an adventure film which gives pride of place to action scenes which it was obviously wise to pay homage to.

What disappoints me a little here is that I have the impression that LEGO has sacrificed the finishing of each of the spaces installed in the hull of the ship to make them primarily playable sections at the expense of their exhibition potential. The whole thing lacks coherence and continuity, which was nevertheless the case in the original proposal.

I preferred the uniformity of the reference creation in terms of the rock, which frames the different caves with a nice overall atmosphere, whereas the mix of colors used here adds confusion to the whole. Where the rock was initially only a decorative element and allowed us to really focus on the content without visual distraction, the structure here becomes, in my opinion, much too messy to really highlight the content of each setting.

As for the hull of the 62 cm long ship visible on the other side of the diorama, it is also at the best of the Creator level with a simplification of the overall form and a minimalist aesthetic. This very amateur side stands out all the more when compared with the very successful LEGO ICONS set 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship is inevitable.

As a bonus, the hull is far too "clean" for the context it refers to, and the two vines at the rear don't save the day. The ship also lacks a rudder, though it's unclear why.

It's hard to blame the designer of this LEGO IDEAS product, though; this build will most often be displayed with the scenes clearly visible. I would have liked an additional sail to be completely in line with the ship seen on screen, but it must be admitted that the LEGO version of the Inferno is quite faithful, particularly with the central tear in the mainsail caused on screen by the descent of Sinok and Choco.

It's worth noting that this set isn't full of stickers; there are only four stickers to apply to the build, and everything else is pad-printed. However, the instructions, which are split into two booklets, sometimes seem a bit confusing, as if LEGO hadn't taken the necessary care in their development.

The minifigure offering is substantial here with 12 characters, but LEGO didn't really have a choice when it came to handling the subject properly. Some will prefer the version of Sinok delivered in the LEGO Dimensions Level Pack with its extension to place on a classic head, which then allowed for a very faithful version of the character. LEGO could have taken advantage of this new opportunity to provide us with this element again and let fans choose between the hat or the growth.

Otherwise, it's a pair of neutral legs for everyone except Andrea Carmichael (Andy) and Brandon Walsh (Brand) but with very nicely tampo-tapped torsos and faces.

The graphic designer in charge of the file did a really good job here with successful facial expressions and fairly faithful outfits. Special mention for One-Eyed Willy's torso which is magnificent.

The least successful face seems to me to be that of Richard Wang (Data), played on screen by the Vietnamese actor Ke Huy Quan, LEGO giving him round eyes and refraining from emphasizing his origins with the color of his head. It's probably the times that dictate that.

LEGO does not provide a display stand to display the 12 characters, you will have to display them on the ship or make your own stand, for example by reusing the size provided in the promotional set. 40773 The Goonies: The Walshes' Attic which will accompany the launch of this box from November 1, 2025.

This product leaves me a little hungry, with the feeling of having to pay €300 for a luxury playset and not getting a real exhibition product with impeccable finish. This box floats between two waters without really choosing its side and it is the overall finish that suffers the consequences.

Making this model playable was essential to make it a truly beautiful tribute to the Richard Donner film that filled the afternoons of many 80s children during school holidays, but there was undoubtedly a better balance to be respected to preserve the model aspect of the thing.

This will be without me, even if I watched the film several times when I was younger, this good visual entertainment does not, in my opinion, deserve to spend 300 € on a very bulky playset. There are licenses that cross the eras and accompany us over the years but The Goonies is ultimately only a children's film that is 40 years old and when it comes to making choices for budgetary reasons, this box is not at the top of my list.

I wouldn't have said no to a more symbolic and compact product at €50 or €60, I'm not ready to spend €300 on a product derived from a Christmas film, however cult it may be for some fans.

Today we quickly go around the contents of the LEGO set 40809 Festive Gingerbread House, a small box of 498 pieces available on the official online store since October 1, 2025 at a retail price of €39,99. In fact, the product was almost immediately out of stock upon its launch on October 1.

I won't draw you a picture, this is about assembling a small gingerbread house that will easily find its place in a festive decoration for the end-of-year holidays. This product is less ambitious than the construction of the set 10267 Winter Village Gingerbread House (1477 pieces - €94,99) released in 2019 but once again we remain in the usual theme with the colors and decorations already seen in other boxes on the same subject.

The really good idea of ​​this little box: allowing the construction to be opened to access the interior spaces and possibly display the thing from the facade side as if two small terraced houses were present. This configuration is ideal for installing this proposal at the bottom of a festive diorama with a beautiful "village" effect.

If you're wondering where the 500 pieces of the set are, they're definitely there, with a model made up of many small elements. The furniture installed in the premises remains relatively basic, but it's enough for a house on this scale with a bed, a desk, a micro kitchen, and a living room with its fireplace. The different spaces remain easily accessible if you feel like having fun with this product. There are two stickers to apply in this box, those that fit on the two doors of the house. No fancy decorations on the roof; the two sides are identical.

The minifig offering here is a bit disappointing with only one figure, the everlasting Santa Claus that we all already have in our drawers. The figure is the one already seen in other sets since 2021, but it does have the luxury of having a pair of legs injected in two colors.

All this for €40, it didn't take much for the product to quickly be restocked on the official store. It's a success, the festive side is very present, and the potential for display during the season in question is obvious. If you want to take the joke to the limit, you can always combine this gingerbread house with other products on the same theme via the sets 10267 Winter Village Gingerbread House, 40337 Mini Gingerbread House or, 40139 Gingerbread House et 40806 Gingerbread AT-AT.

I'm not sure this product was worth the price, but LEGO knows that its seasonal collection generally resonates with its audience every year, and the price isn't a deterrent for even the most passionate of its customers. LEGO promises to be able to start delivering this set again on October 9th, so it might be wise to pre-order it to ensure you're part of this restocking wave and have this set before the holiday season.

It's been a tradition at LEGO for several years, the manufacturer offers a selection of decorations to build and hang on the branches of the tree, and this year it's the turn of two snowmen to make their appearance in this range of thematic and seasonal products via the set 40812 Snowman Ornaments which will be available from October 1, 2025 at a public price of €12,99.

There's something for every budget, and this small, reasonably priced 168-piece box will allow those who don't want to invest too much in more expensive festive products to still treat themselves to some decorations. This time, we've got two rather original-looking snowmen that will make a splash on the tree. The whole thing is obviously very quickly assembled with a limited inventory, and LEGO unfortunately only provides one instruction booklet for both models. Two separate booklets would have been welcome to ensure younger children could share this building experience.

These two snowmen also offer a good starting point for creating custom variations. Simply swap out their colored attributes for other shades and add different accessories. Enough to keep the little ones busy for a few hours. No stickers in this box.

This unpretentious little set can also be used to complete an order to reach the minimum amount required to take advantage of an upcoming promotional offer.

If you want to group together everything that LEGO has been able to market on the same principle since 2020, I list below the different products that have been offered over the years. There is enough to fill the branches of the tree with pretty constructions even if most of these references are no longer available on the official store with the exception of the set 40744 Christmas Ornament Selection :

Other decorations were released, particularly at the end of the year as promotional products. We recall that LEGO also tried something new in 2013/2014 with transparent plastic balls inside which you could install a small construction.
