LEGO sets phasers for stunning on Back Friday with 3,600 piece Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Star Trek, the final frontier of fandom, is coming at last to LEGO this month with the Black Friday release of LEGO Icons 10356 U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The 3,600 piece set is designed by Hans B. Schlömer (no stranger to big ships, having also designed the Millennium Falcon and Endeavor) with graphic design by Crystal Marie Fontan, who wonderfully captures the look of the crew across the 9 included minifigures. The massive display set features one play feature – a removable saucer section. When the set goes on sale on Black Friday, November 28, it comes with a Gift With Purchase of the Shuttlepod Onizuka and exclusive minig Ensign Ro.

Photos of the set leaked months before today’s reveal, but what didn’t come across was how substantial the set is (see some of the lifestyle pictures below to better appreciate the scale). We’re also thrilled to see Star Trek minifigs at long last, with new molds for Worf and Guinans’ headpieces.

Celebrate 15 years of LEGO Ninjago with fantastic Four Weapons Blacksmith [News]

This coming January marks 15 years since LEGO introduced Ninjago, and to celebrate, LEGO is planning a year of surprises, starting with a set honoring the very beginning of the Ninjago story. We had the chance to go hands-on with 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith in Billund, and it’s a remarkable set with broad appeal. For longtime Ninjago fans, the nostalgia factor is high as the set recreates the opening of the animated series’ pilot episode and features beloved characters as they first appeared. For fans of Asian architecture, it’s an attractive and detailed model that looks good from all angles. There’s a sophistication to the set that evokes the MOC in the way that few official sets do.

After a year of so many enormous sets with large space demands, it’s great to see LEGO starting out 2026 with sets like this one and the Iron Man Mark 3 that offer a beautiful build at a more modest ask. We’ll hold off on a final assessment until we build it for ourselves, the Four Weapons Blacksmith has us excited for a year of Ninjago celebration.

LEGO Ideas greenlights biggest batch of fan ideas yet, including Megazord, Downton Abbey, and La Catrina

Today, the LEGO Ideas team revealed which of the 57 Ideas sets that qualified for design review back in May will go on to become official sets, including the beloved Megazord from the Power Rangers. We’re thrilled to see La Catrina approved, just in time for Dia de los Muertos too! The list skews IP-heavy, with 4 of the 6 approved sets and all 3 parking lot sets being based on IP (although 20th-century literature is a novel source for LEGO).

Keep in mind that these fan designs are not the versions that you’ll eventually see on shelves, as first they have to go through an internal design process. Which sets are you most excited to see come to life?

Hey you guys! LEGO reveals 21363 The Goonies, complete with 12 minifigures and lots of booty traps [News]

Goonies never say die. Especially when there’s still a chance for a comeback in LEGO form! Available on November 1, LEGO Ideas 21363 The Goonies turns the beloved ’80s classic adventure film into an elaborate 18+ playset based on a fan design from Vaggelis Ntezes. One side of the model shows One-Eyed Willie’s pirate ship, while the other retells the story of the film as a series of connected vignettes. The set contains a whopping 12 minifigures, including the ensemble of teen actors who would go on to star in films like Lord of the Rings, Avengers: Endgame, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood. We love the film, but as Cyndi Lauper asks, is R the Goonies good enough? Have a look at the official reveal and read our thoughts from seeing the set in Billund last month.

LEGO Icons 10366 Tropical Aquarium: deep-dive into the world of re-colours [Review]

Four years ago, LEGO released an intriguing Creator set that stood out for its uniqueness: 31122 Fish Tank. What a great idea! A way of bringing some aquatic LEGO into your home without all the yellow of their traditional underwater themes. Clearly, some bright spark at LEGO saw that set, and went: OK, but what if we made it bigger? That’s clearly just speculation on my part – but the end result is the same: 10366 Tropical Aquarium, which releases this November 13 for US $479.99 | CAN $599.99 | UK £399.99. Among its 4,151 pieces, it counts a large number in new or rare colours, and in good quantities at that. But there’s more to this set than just new re-colours! Take a dive into the tropical waters, and let’s check it out together.

LEGO goes Back to the Future with sleek and affordable Speed Champions set [News]

Great Scott! LEGO is bringing Doc Brown’s DeLorean, and not only is it an awesome-looking set, but it’s also priced like sets from the ’80s? This is heavy. Arriving on January 1, 2026, LEGO Speed Champions 77256 Time Machine from Back to the Future has everything going for it except for that clunker name. 357 pieces for $27? Yes please. New minifigs for Doc and Marty? Don’t mind if I do. Excellent shaping and details on the DeLorean on two alternate builds? If my calculations are correct, this set delivers. The only things not included are roads, but where this car’s going, you don’t need ’em. Coming off an onslaught of massive and expensive IP-based sets, it’s refreshing to have an affordable way to indulge in nostalgia or share a classic with a new generation. More of this please, LEGO! What do you think? Will you be picking up the new DeLorean when it flies in next year?

LEGO goes re-colour crazy with new Icons set 10366 Tropical Aquarium [News]

NPU: Nice Parts Use. Often used to denote a cool or unusual use of a LEGO piece. LEGO themselves have been no stranger to this concept, and themes like the Botanical line have taken that maxim even further. And although we’re only now getting a first glance at the latest LECO Icons set, 10366 Tropical Aquarium, that first glance is full of parts in new colours! We can see what appear to be two fresh colourways of hat and some new transparent leaf pieces among its 4,154 pieces. The price of admission seems accordingly high – US $479.99 | CAN $599.99 | UK £399.99 – but you’ll have to wait for our review to find out if there’s treasure in that sunken chest or just a soggy old boot! This colourful coral tank with its fishy inhabitants is slated for release November 13th.

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.

The LEGO Group sent The Brothers Brick an early copy of this set for review. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews.
