LEGO Art breaks free from the frame with 31216 Keith Haring – Dancing Figures [News]

Keith Haring is one of those artists whose work you will almost certainly recognise, but not necessarily know by name. Initially, he was a street artist, painting walls in a style that became instantly identifiable. Next month, you can adorn your walls with his work too – but you won’t need any spray paint! 31216 Keith Haring – Dancing Figures is the latest work to enter the LEGO Art gallery. 1,773 pieces make up the quintet of figures, which appear to be based on the posthumous The Dance (1992) lithograph, itself based on Untitled (Dance) created in 1987. With an RRP of US $119.99 | CAN $149.99 | UK £104.99, 31216 Keith Haring – Dancing Figures will hit shelves and walls this May 15th.

LEGO announces Pokémon partnership, sets coming in 2026

Today The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company announced a multi-year partnership with new sets to arrive in 2026. Details are short at this time, with a teaser video just showing the tail of a brick-built Pikachu, but with over 1,000 Pokémon and 30 years of games and anime to draw from, the possibilities are vast.

Previously, Pokémon building toys had been released by Mega, with the line including both larger-scale buildable characters and smaller-scale playsets. Will LEGO follow a similar model? Can we expect minifigs of your favorite trainers? Tell us in the comments what you want to see from Pokémon LEGO sets next year. And while you’re waiting, have a peek(achu) at our Pokédex of fan creations we’ve admired over the years.

Ninjago City rises again with newest towering modular: 71837 Ninjago City Workshops [News]

With the release of the Ninjago Movie in 2017, LEGO debuted the first LEGO City modular super-set, with a new expansion following every two years.

After the scenic Gardens and bustling Market, fans can now visit an industrious district where mechs are built and danger hides in the form of villain Dorama and his mechanical puppet.

AT-AT Driver becomes latest entry in LEGO Star Wars’ helmets line [News]

LEGO launched the Helmet Collection as part of their Star Wars line some five years ago, and many of the early sets depicted Imperial designs.

Now, we’re coming full circle to the Empire again: 75429 AT-AT Driver has today been announced as the latest entry into the Star Wars Helmet Collection.

With 730 pieces, it will retail for US $69.99 | CAN $89.99 | UK £69.99.

New LEGO Restaurants of the World line debuts with 10362 French Café [News]

LEGO is no stranger to depicting buildings from around the world, as evidenced by the long-standing Architecture line, among other things. But today, a new LEGO Icons set is unveiled that adds culinary flair to architectural extravagance. 10362 French Café depicts a coffee shop that you might find on a typical street corner in France. The set also features the subtitle “Restaurants of the World”, so we can speculate that it may form part of a new sub-theme of the Icons brand. With 1,101 pieces, 10362 French Café is set to hit shelves this coming March 1st, 2025 with an RRP of US $79.99 | CAN $99.99 | UK £69.99.

The Brothers Brick LEGO Builder of the Year 2024 [News]

That weird period between Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve is coming to an end. Normally a stretch where time seems to disappear, here at TBB Towers we’ve used the intervening week to whittle down our LEGO Builder of the Year shortlist. Making that list was a heck of a job in and of itself! But while everyone was pitching their nominees, and we had our discussions, there was one name that kept on cropping up. A builder who demonstrated creative flair, made clever use of unusual parts, and did so to an exceptionally high standard. Most impressive of all, it was all done with remarkable consistency – we wrote about their creations a whopping 19 times across the year.

That builder, and The Brothers Brick LEGO Builder of the Year 2024, is Maxx Davidson!

Here are some of our favourites among Maxx’s many highlights…
