Despite the higher price point, LEGO has sold out of the pre-orders for the LEGO Pokemon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise (72153). Even though it has a $650 price point, fans were still wanting to get the set especially with LEGO also offering the Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892) gift with purchase set early for the first 21,840 pre-orders. The same offer was also on the Pokemon Center and they sold out there even faster. There’s been a lot of criticism online about the set after the official reveal this morning, mostly about the price and some of the design features. LEGO is kicking the LEGO Pokemon theme off in a big way in terms of size and the accompanying prices of the sets but that didn’t deter fans from still ordering them. The LEGO Pokemon sets officially release on February 27 and they will be bringing back the Kanto Region Badge...

Prepare all your festive decorations and cast the spell that creates the biggest snowbanks as we make our way to Hogsmeade, the all-wizarding village known for its gorgeous architecture and magical holiday atmosphere! LEGO provided BrickNerd with set 76457 Hogsmeade Village - Collectors’ Edition. This wonderful set recreates the charming design of the old wizarding cottages and shops in remarkable detail: all the playful signboards and colorful elements are faithfully inspired by the films. The only difference from the Harry Potter franchise is the feeling of an in-between season. It’s clear that the richness of modern LEGO elements would disappear beneath thick layers of snow, and this limited snow coverage became an exciting creative challenge for us! Let’s enjoy this incredible set as an “off-season” foundation for creativity and watch the landscape transform into a true Winter Village. I took inspiration from the snow-covered window ledge of the Hog’s Head pub...

Pre-orders for the LEGO SMART Play Star Wars sets went live yesterday but if you were in certain countries, you aren’t able to place your orders. After the CES 2026 event, we’ve gotten some more information about the LEGO SMART Play system and it was revealed that the sets will only be available on March 1 for six launch markets: United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Poland, and Australia. This wasn’t mentioned during CES or at any presentations afterward so that’s very baffling. The following details are LEGO’s statement on why there are only six countries for the launch: The first LEGO SMART Play sets will be on shelf from 1st March 2026 in our six launch markets: US, UK, France, Germany, Poland and Australia. It wasn’t launched globally, as LEGO® SMART Play is a major transformative company-wide initiative that spans our entire value chain, from R&D to manufacturing and retail....

A new day and we have a small LEGO Ideas First 2026 Review Stage update as a few projects in the past few days have reached the 10,000 supporter goal. One surprise here is that a board game was able to hit the goal in about a day or so after it was posted so there was a lot of traction from somewhere.

Back in the 15th century, THE renaissance man Leonardo Da Vinci had a dream to design a human-powered flying machine. He never realized his goal, but he quite impressively worked out an early understanding of many laws of physics behind flight—often based on observing birds and their mechanics. This allowed him to devise some pretty fantastic concepts that were ahead of his time, such as his famed “flying machine” (an ornithopter). The flying machine design revolves around a central wooden platform that the human lies on and works mechanisms with their arms and legs to power bird-like wings and a tail with ropes and pulleys. To be fair, Da Vinci’s ornithopter couldn’t get past the weight-to-power ratio that the inefficient flapping motion required. But, it sure looks cool, doesn’t it!? Isn’t she beauteous!! The creative folks over at LEGO decided to adapt Da Vinci’s ornithopter concept into set 10363, Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine, and...
