LEGO January 2023 buyers guide: Check out all of the new Star Wars, Marvel, and other kits

A new year is now underway and with it comes an entire collection of LEGO sets. This time around for 2023, you’ll find everything from the latest Star Wars and Marvel recreations to Technic, City, Ninjago, the new LEGO Jazz Club, and many other new sets. Head below for the full scoop on all of the new LEGO sets available for January 2023, which are now available for purchase.

After quite the eventful year for LEGO, 2023 is starting off strong with a massive collection of new creations from a wide variety of themes. Ranging from the latest from LEGO Star Wars, Marvel, Creator, and more, you can check out the entire collection right here, or continue reading as we break down the best of what’s now available from LEGO.

All of the following kits will go live at midnight on January 1. 

Star Wars

Kicking things off for the new sets for 2023, January will be seeing four different Star Wars builds hit store shelves. Continuing to deliver a diverse lineup of kits after the past year of pretty notable builds that are anything but just being locked to the Original Trilogy, we’re getting some love for The Clone Wars, Disney+ series, and some vehicles which haven’t made a brick-built debut in 20 years.

It’s a pretty impressive lineup that I’ll be excited to go hands-on with in the coming days here in some capacity. Expect to see the TIE Bomber be one of the hotter kits of the winter wave, while the 501st battle pack should serve as a nice addition to the popular 2020 version.

  • TIE Bomber: $64.99 | 625 pieces
  • 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack: $19.99 | 119 pieces
  • Boba Fett’s Starship Microfighter: $9.99 | 85 pieces
  • Tusken Raider: $9.99 | 152 pieces

Marvel

Over on the Marvel front, 2023 is seeing seven different new LEGO sets land to start off the new year. The variety is pretty nice, too! Aside from the four new Mech Armor sets which are solid in their own right, we’re getting a new version of both the Quintet and Hulkbuster, both of which are the best versions of the respective iconic MCU stables. I also love that we’re finally getting a Morbius set, though I don’t expect it to actually sell all that well.

  • The Avengers Quinjet: $99.99 | 795 pieces
  • The Hulkbuster: The Battle of Wakanda: $49.99 | 385 pieces
  • Ghost Rider Mech & Bike: $34.99 | 264 pieces
  • Miles Morales vs. Morbius: $24.99 | 220 pieces
  • Hulk Mech Armor: $14.99 | 138 pieces
  • Thanos Mech Armor: $14.99 | 113 pieces
  • Rocket Mech Armor: $14.99 | 98 pieces

Modular Building

The annual LEGO Modular Building series is of course also expanding for 2023, with a new addition arriving alongside the rest of the sets. The new Jazz Club hits the scene with a more colorful design then we’ve seen in the past. It stacks up to 2,899 pieces and delivers two different buildings which can be arrived on either side of each other.

At the $230 price point, you’re getting the usual highly-detailed build that comes spread across a 3-story Jazz Club complete with eight minifigures. We break down just how the latest Modular Building stacks up in our announcement coverage, but this is easily one of the most popular kits of the January lineup and is going to be one of the first to sell out.

Art

The LEGO Art theme is being expanded into 2023, as well, with just a single set. The new Hokusai: The Great Wave mosaic was just revealed earlier in the month and is now hitting store shelves as a $99.99 set. This is certainly one of the more unique builds to hit the display-worthy lineup to date, and love that it takes a more interesting step forward from the more bland mosaics we’ve seen in the past.

Avatar

One of the newer themes in the LEGO world is also seeing some creations land for January. Marking the second wave to date from James Cameron’s Avatar, the new lineup includes five different sets from the recently-released sequel, Way of the Water. There are some pretty neat looking kits in the lineup, with some extremely fun creature builds like the Tulkun, Skimwing, and Ilu.

  • Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit: $99.99 | 761 pieces
  • Metkayina Reef Home: $79.99 | 528 pieces
  • Mako Submarine​: $59.99 | 553 pieces
  • Skimwing Adventure: $34.99 | 259 pieces
  • Ilu Discovery: $24.99 | 179 pieces

Minecraft

As per usual, we’re also getting a new collection of Minecraft kits for 2023. The lineup includes seven different builds, and I have to say that is someone who isn’t a massive fan of the game or theme, there are some pretty cool builds. The Panda Haven is an easy highlight, though you have to love the Bee Cottage kit, too.
