This September, LEGO will be releasing another Collectible Minifigures series and this wave will focus entirely on the Shrek Series (71053). This set is part of the new LEGO Shrek sets that LEGO has released this year.
We haven’t talked about LEGO Monkie Kid in over a year and a half since the 2025 sets were released. After that there was literally no news on the theme and everybody pretty much thought it was discontinued. That is until a few hours ago when LEGO uploaded a new episode of LEGO Monkie Kid on YouTube. This new series tells the story after the Demon Bull King’s defeat while Monkie Kid still learning to control his powers. There are still 10 LEGO Monkie Kid sets available on the LEGO Shop but aren’t ready to be retired yet.

It’s been a few weeks since San Diego Comic Con 2026 ended but we finally got around to do a recap on the LEGO happenings during the event. As I mentioned before, it was overall more subtle this year as evident by the booth layout and the lack of panels.

The staff there was handing out different LEGO posters each day. If I recall, there was a Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Ninjago, One Piece, and The Mandalorian.
There waa also a scavenger hunt for LEGO luggage tags to win a prize pack. Apparently the luggage tags weren’t just in the exhibit floor but it was spread throughout the whole convention center. I did hear that quite a few people actually found some.
The left side of the board was for LEGO Pokemon and the right was for LEGO Star Wars, each showcasing some of the latest sets for the line including the SMART Play ones. There are some interactive area and areas to take pictures. The backside of the booth was another showcase of recently announced sets.
The few times I was able to walk by the booth, the lines were filled but it didn’t seem as busy as … Continue
