A new month is here, which means more competitive building! February may be the shortest month of the year, but it packs a punch—whether you’re building a heartfelt habitat for Valentine’s Day or going for an interplanetary roll with FebRovery. Here’s the latest lineup of LEGO contests and challenges from across the AFOL community for February 2026 to spark your inspiration. There’s nothing quite like a theme or a prompt to nudge you out of your comfort zone and push you to experiment building in ways you might not otherwise attempt. We’ve listed them in order of deadline so you can plan your building time wisely—especially in a month that always seems to fly by. Be sure to check the LEGO activity calendar for local challenges and events near you. Some of our fondest memories, proudest builds, coolest trophies, and strongest friendships started with a contest entry, so we hope you’ll...

Jack Stone is a theme known by many but loved by few. It was one of the earliest LEGO themes which introduced specialized elements intended to keep construction simple for very young children, including an oversized figure of the titular character. But the theme has a bad reputation among AFOLs for littering bulk used brick with large and difficult-to-use pieces, often ones that could be constructed similarly with smaller parts. The part we are examining today, Cockpit 6 x 6 x 5 with Hinge (part 30619), is no exception. Its large size and unusual features reveal a surprising amount about the difficulties of injection molding plastic bricks. Elemental History At first glance, it may seem that the cockpit element is rather limiting—something you would throw into a bin of big, bulky parts never to be seen again. It came in five colors and was intended to be combined with several complementary...

The other LEGO Chinese Festival 2026 set that we want to check out before the Chinese/Lunar New Year is the Galloping Horse Canvas (80119). The set has 1,650 pieces and retails for $109.99.
