LEGO celebrates 20 years of Batman with new Batmobiles and a Bat logo releasing March 2026

Following this year’s excellent Arkham Asylum set and Batman Forever Batmobile, the Dark Knight continues his hot streak as LEGO announces four new Batman sets releasing on March 1, 2026. The sets draw on different eras of the Batman movie franchise and connect to the LEGO Batman – Legacy of the Dark Knight video game, with each set containing an unlock code for an exclusive golden variant in-game.

First, a Batman Logo offers a greeble-covered take on the iconic Batman (1989) design, and includes a bonus golden Batman minifig. The other sets are branded as part of the Legendary Batmobile Collection and feature the car and costumes featured in Batman v. Superman, The Batman, and Batman & Robin, the latter making its LEGO debut. The Batmobiles are scaled and detailed similarly to Speed Champion sets, although they aren’t associated with that line. Designed with display in mind, they lack play features and villains but feature a high degree of detail for the small profile. Each set comes with a printed gold tile celebrating 20 years of LEGO Batman.

LEGO Bricklink Designer Program Series 6 – Sequoia Tree Trail: Towering beauty [Review]

The Bricklink Designer Program has become a haven for fan favorite themes like Classic Castle, Western, Pirates, and Trains. BLDB Series 6, which goes on sale today, hits some of those greatest hits, but the set that caught my eye isn’t tied to LEGO nostalgia, but childhood memories of summer vacation and visiting National Parks. Sequoia Tree Trail, created by 28-year-old Canadian builder Daniel Smith (pieceonearth),  is a love letter to parks, rangers, and the largest trees on Earth – the Giant Sequoias. Sequoia Tree Trail contains 3,187 pieces and sells for $269.99. Pre-orders for this set and the rest of BDP Series 6 run through October 13th, 2025 at 12 PM Pacific time.

TBB Weekly Brick Report: LEGO news roundup for October 5th, 2025 [News]

In addition to the amazing LEGO models created by builders worldwide, The Brothers Brick brings you the best LEGO news and reviews. This is our weekly Brick Report for the 1st week of October 2025.

TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS Nintendo fans have a lot to be excited about with the release of the nearly perfect 1:1 replica LEGO 74206 Game Boy, which is already on backorder, proving this thing hits hard with nostalgia. I myself remember playing Pokémon Yellow on my console back in the day, so it’s no wonder the Game Boy set was our TBB Pick of the Month for October.

October 2025 New LEGO Sets Available Now [News]

It’s a stacked month of releases with sets for every taste, from geodes to Gizmos to game consoles to giant death slices! We found a lot to like in this month’s offerings (even if the trend of more big-ticket releases has us questioning who has shelf space to keep up). If you’re looking to add any of these sets to your collection, we’re grateful when you use our affiliate link as it helps fund the site and allows us to keep bringing you the best MOCs and builder stories every day.

Our top pick for October is the new Game Boy set. A near-perfect 1:1 recreation of the vintage handheld, the Game Boy is an incredible build that will make you appreciate LEGO geometry. As a bonus, all graphics but the two cartridge labels are printed elements, and the lenticular screens are a novel treat.

In addition to the amazing LEGO models created by builders worldwide, The Brothers Brick brings you the best LEGO news and reviews. This is our weekly Brick Report for the 4th week of September 2025.

TBB NEWS AND REVIEWS Since the last Brick Report, we have not seen much in the way of official news from LEGO, but we did get a chance to review the Star Wars holiday-themed set, and the LEGO Ideas Mogway Gizmo set, complete with a pair of 3-D glasses. We have also been in Billund all last week for LEGO Fan Media Days, bringing lots of great content to our social media accounts. For even more news and reviews from TBB, be sure to check out our last Brick Report.

TBB FEATURES & INTERVIEWS Between SHIPtember and Minifig Mondays, we’ve been featuring a lot of Sci-Fi the last few weeks, and we top that off with an interview with a prolific mecha builder. There’s also a healthy dose of nature, between National Public Lands Day and a showcase on building pastoral LEGO scenes, there’s something for everyone.

LEGO Ideas 21361 Gizmo – Mogwai in the Spotlight [Review]

This October, LEGO is releasing two very different Ideas sets. We previously took a look at the Mineral Collection (it rocks), and today we’re dimming the lights and putting together LEGO Ideas 21361 Gizmo. If you’ve ever wanted to adopt a Mogwai without risking a midnight snack disaster, this buildable Gizmo set is your safest bet! I’m V (@Minifiguring.It.Out on Instagram) and I’m a child of the 80s who remembers when Gizmo was as beloved and ubiquitous as Labubus are right now! Put on the Gremlins Rag and come along as we unlock the secrets of this Mogwai.

This year, The Brothers Brick is joining the sponsors with a prize of the Friendship Camper Van for one lucky participant.

Dressed to Quest: Hands-on with the capes, cloaks, sheaths, and scabbards of Minifig Realms [Review]

Today, we take a look at a newcomer in the world of custom capes and cloth accessories: Minifig Realms. In addition to the capes and skirts found in official LEGO offerings, Minifig Realms adds sheaths and straps to the minifig wardrobe, as well as new materials, like faux-leather. While unofficial accessories aren’t for all LEGO fans, Minifig Realms has been making waves since their debut this July, so we brought in an expert in custom minifigs, beyondb0nes, to see how these new products measure up.

LEGO Icons 10361 Holiday Express Train: all I want for Christmas is... 3D printed LEGO? [Review]

Isn’t it weird how trains and Christmas seem to have such a close association? Whether that’s down to unwrapping a train set on the big day, or Santa Claus becoming a railway magnate to help distribute presents, we couldn’t say. Either way – festive trains have also been a regular feature of LEGO’s product lineup over the years, including two at minifigure scale. This October 4th, you’ll be able to add a third engine to the Winter Village train shed, for the princely sum of US $129.99 | CAN $149.99 | UK £109.99. In some ways, it’s the same old story – but at the same time, there are big changes afoot among this set’s 956 pieces. Got your tickets ready? We’re travelling first class on the TBB Review Special of 10361 Holiday Express Train!

LEGO 41843 Family Christmas Tree – A holiday tradition in the making [Review] 

Designed with collaboration in mind, the festive LEGO 41843 Family Christmas Tree invites families and friends to build together. With split instruction booklets, modular sub-builds, and clever engineering, the set allows for simultaneous progress, turning construction into a shared experience. In our house, that meant an all-hands-on-deck build session with both kids and grown-ups chipping in for a bricktacular afternoon of holiday fun. Packed with whimsical minifigures, hidden play features, and a finished design that’s perfect for display or imaginative play, this is a set that brings holiday magic to the table in more ways than one.

LEGO Death Star’s Tie Fighter with Hanger Rack – how does the GWP measure up? [Review]

It would be an understatement to say that LEGO Star Wars 75419 Death Star has been a Force Lightning rod for controversy since it was formally revealed last week. As you can tell from our review, the hands-on experience left us feeling as fried as Luke after his encounter with the Emperor. Surprisingly, the accompanying gift with purchase 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack, has generated almost as much attention, mostly negative. A lot of this stems from LEGO’s publicity photos showing the TIE Fighter with the set, despite it being a limited-time exclusive, garnering the label “DLC” after video games that seemingly lock off part of a complete game under a paywall. Even if that wasn’t the intent, it’s not a good look, especially when this “missing piece” is part of LEGO’s most expensive set yet. Questionable marketing aside, how does the bonus set hold up? And how does it compare with past Gifts with Purchase from past premium releases?

LEGO Star Wars 40771 TIE Fighter with Imperial Hangar Rack | 236 Pieces | Available October 1 as a free GWP with the Death Star, while supplies last | US $999.99 | CAN $1299.99 | UK £899.99
