LEGO Pokémon, iconic yellow brick, with Lego and Pokémon logo, designed for fans of building games and the Pokémon franchise, ideal for creating models inspired by the Pokémon universe.

As usual, information should be taken with a pinch of salt when it comes to unconfirmed rumors by the manufacturer, but the outlines of the Pokémon license at LEGO are already becoming clearer with a list of three sets planned for March 2026 circulating on the usual channels.

So we shouldn't expect anything before March 2026, with an Insiders preview scheduled for February 27, 2026, on the occasion of "Pokémon Day," and we could get three sets, including a reference of more than 6000 pieces that would be marketed at the public price of €649,99. At this price, we can probably hope for a giant Pikachu or a Pokéball that would be round and not donut-shaped like the other set that no one is expecting.

We'll see when LEGO decides to share more details about what this range will allow us to obtain. In the meantime, we'll have to make do with the information listed below, with references, an assumed inventory, and a potential retail price:

  • LEGO Pokémon 72151 (587 pieces - 59,99 €)
  • LEGO Pokémon 72152 (2050 pieces - 199,99 €)
  • LEGO Pokémon 72153 (6838 pieces - 649,99 €)

The last latest rumor also mentions a product offered under the condition of purchase which would bear the reference 40892 and which would be stamped 18+ as well as an Insiders reward bearing the reference 40911 which will be available in exchange for 2500 points, or approximately €16 in exchange value.

As you already know, according to many more or less well-documented rumors, LEGO is preparing a model of the Endurance ship in its LEGO ICONS range for the end of the year and it is the Singaporean version from the official online store which made the blunder of the day by briefly publishing a first visual of what strongly resembles this product.

We will have to wait for a proper official announcement to take a closer look at this set bearing the reference 10335 Endurance which would be marketed on the occasion of Black Friday 2024 and which we are told everywhere at more than 3000 pieces and at a public price of €259,99. As it stands, we can already have a little idea of ​​the look of this model which will join that of the LEGO set 10294 Titanic on the shelf dedicated to boats that eventually sank.

LEGO has scheduled a live announcement on November 7, 2024 of the product that will be launched on the occasion of Black Friday and it will probably be this big box whose official announcement should therefore logically not be long in coming.

Today it is a LEGO Certified Store Chilean which allows us to obtain a first visual of the large set from the LEGO Harry Potter range expected for the start of the school year and which rumor announces to us under the reference LEGO Harry Potter Collectors' Edition 76437 The Burrow with 2405 pieces in the box and a public price which would be set at €259,99.

The same rumor announces a construction almost 50 cm high and a fairly substantial supply of minifigs with 10 characters: Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Molly Weasley, Arthur Weasley, Percy Weasley, Bill Weasley and Charlie Weasley.

We also know that the sale of the product will be accompanied by an exclusive product offered for the occasion, the reference 40695 Borgin and Burkes: Floo Network.

The official announcement of the product should logically not take long.

The surprise is already partially revealed via the usual channels but LEGO pretends to have seen nothing and therefore uses a teaser in the usual format to prepare for the "official" announcement of the LEGO Technic set 42172 McLaren P1, the fifth reference of what we must now call the range LEGO Technic Ultimate which already brings together the sets in 1:8 format 42056 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (2016) 42083 Bugatti Chiron (2018) 42115 Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 (2020) et 42143 Ferrari Daytona SP3 (2022)

Imminent announcement for this new big box for which rumor tells us an inventory of 3893 pieces and a public price set at €449,99 with availability planned for August 1, 2024.

It's an open secret, Barad-dûr is soon arriving in a LEGO version and the manufacturer is releasing a short teaser today which brings us a little closer to the official announcement of a highly anticipated set.

While waiting for an official announcement, the latest rumors suggest a box of more than 5000 pieces bearing the reference 10333 and which would be sold for a little less than €500 from June 1st. To be checked within a few days with the product announcement by the manufacturer.

LEGO released a short teaser around the Sonic The Hedgehog universe on social networks and we discover on the banner which illustrates the video three of the minifigures expected in 2024 in the sets of the range: these are of Rouge the Bat, Knuckles and Shadow.

The latest rumors to date announce at least two boxes planned for January 2024 in which we should find these three characters, to be confirmed with an official announcement which should logically not take too long:

  • LEGO 76995 Shadow Lab Escape (196 pieces - 20.99 €)
  • LEGO 76996 Knuckles Mech Battle (276 pieces - 34.99 €)

Today we take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO Star Wars set 40591 Death Star II, a small box of 287 pieces that will be offered on the official online store and in LEGO Stores from May 1 to 7, 2023 from 150 € of purchase in products from the LEGO Star Wars range. The inventory of the product allows, as indicated by the title of the set, to assemble a reproduction of the Death Star II about fifteen centimeters high to be displayed on the corner of a shelf.

No minifigs in this box, but we still get the pretty brick celebrating the 40th anniversary of the film Return of the Jedi. It's still taken even if this pad-printed brick is also delivered in several other sets marketed from May 1, 2023: the references  75356 Executor Super Star Destroyer75352 Emperor's Throne Room Diorama et 75353 Endor Speeder Chase Diorama.

For the rest, the assembly of the object will logically only take a few minutes with many identical sub-assemblies to be clipped around the central structure of the construction. LEGO promised us in the official product description the presence of a miniature replica of the throne room, it is there even if it remains very symbolic with Palpatine overlooking Darth Vader on one side and Luke Skywalker on the other. It takes a little imagination to see the characters in question in these little heaps of two pieces, but the wink is appreciable.

The Death Star II rests on a simple black base but of sufficient sobriety not to detract from the development of the construction while grayscale, the ray is embodied by a plant and a few very well chosen pieces and the greebs (details based on small parts) of surface are very convincing on the unfinished part of the ball. It was probably difficult to do better in terms of adjusting the different subsets to this scale, so we will forgive the few empty spaces here and there.

In my opinion, we get here a nice little display product that will not invade the living room or the room dedicated to LEGO activities and the presence of the anniversary brick really gives character to this micro-model. You will have to spend at least €150 on products from the LEGO Star Wars range to get this pretty box, which is always a little too big for what it contains, but we all know here that this minimum amount will be reached very quickly with prizes. relatively high audiences for some of the new releases expected to hit shelves on May 1, 2023.

I'll make the effort because this set is in my opinion a nice, neat and creative spin-off that I think is an acceptable reward. This is the product that manages this year to convince me to buy one or two sets at full price to get it, the rest will wait for more contained prices at Amazon, the doubling of VIP points offered elsewhere at LEGO not being not really likely to compete with the reduction percentages regularly practiced elsewhere.

Note: The product shown here, provided by LEGO, is as usual involved. Deadline fixed at May 5, 2023 next at 23:59 p.m. Just post a comment under the article to participate. Your participation is taken into account regardless of your opinion. 

Update : The winner was drawn and notified by email, his nickname is indicated below.

18/04/2023 - 00:45 Lego news New LEGO 2023 Rumors

The "sensation" of the day is the start of a teasing sequence for a new LEGO range currently known as "DREAMZzz". We don't know much about this new range of LEGO products, except that it is a new universe populated by more or less crazy portals, creatures and machines and that the manufacturer has planned at least ten of sets as well as some promotional products to launch this range of which young Mateo and Izzie will be the heroes according to the latest rumors.

You will find the provisional titles of these boxes at this address, and you can easily make the connection with the four teasers posted today on the manufacturer's Youtube channel by associating the names of the products with the different creatures and other vehicles seen in these mini-videos that I have grouped together for you in one sequence. This new "house" range is introduced via the Ninjago universe, no doubt to try to interest young fans who will also be the target of these new products and to create a kind of spin off commercial of the successful house license imagined by LEGO.

While waiting to learn more, the manufacturer has posted a page that displays a count before the announcement of this universe and its derivative products. Clicking on the cloudy "portal" on this page only serves to display the countdown, there is almost a month left before the official announcement. Probably a little less before the first visual leaks of the products concerned.

On the other hand, we do not know for the moment if this range will call for an overlay of interactivity in the manner of the defunct VIDIYO or Hidden Side universes. If so, it remains to be hoped that LEGO will have been able to learn from previous experiences in order to offer something functional that brings real added value to the experience offered.
