Next year in 2023, Disney will be celebrating its 100-year anniversary.

Arriving as next year’s licensed collectible minifigure series, the LEGO Group and Disney will be teaming up once again for a celebratory 100-year anniversary collection (71038).

After seeing the new Sanctum Sanctorum drop back at the start of the month, many builders thought that this would be the largest LEGO Marvel set of the year. Now, 9to5Toys can report some more confident findings as to what to expect from one of the year’s most detailed and expensive creations. Clocking in at a massive $500 price point, the upcoming LEGO Marvel Black Panther set 76210 will surely be one of the largest MCU-themed sets to ever hit store shelves.

The 2022 LEGO Star Wars set lineup is just about wrapped up, with builders just waiting for an official look at the upcoming UCS Razor Crest.

Everything stacks up to 3,778 pieces, which goes towards the authentic recreation and its interior 8-speed engine replica, working steering, and functioning butterfly doors. You can get a better idea of what to expect in our launch coverage, as well.

After we shared a first look at the all-new creation back on Friday, today the LEGO Group is officially taking the wraps off its latest Ideas creation. Stacking up to 2,065 pieces, the new kit packs more than just a detailed exterior, as there are entirely new LEGO elements to pull off the motorized lighting effects that gives the upcoming Lighthouse its distinct features.

After the LEGO Group announced last month that the new AT-TE would be delayed into the fall, listings are finally live!

After going hands-on with the actual LEGO Sanctum Sanctorum, we’re going to take a deeper dive into what you can expect from the minifigures. There’s so much to talk about with the largest Marvel set of the year, and the figures are one of the exciting aspects, especially with nine minifigs included in the box.

Just after seeing a collection of new LEGO creations hit store shelves yesterday, Zavvi is giving builders here in the United States an early chance to bring home sets that won’t be launching until later on in the year.

Now ahead of time, the retailer has stocked a variety of upcoming LEGO sets early including the new buildable Groot, Architecture Pyramids of Giza, Ninjago summer 2022 lineup, and more.
