Can you believe September just flew by and we’re already getting ready for the LEGO October 2026 set releases. It’ll be a fairly big month with LEGO preparing for Christmas and we have Avenger’s Doomsday right around the corner.

As far as promotions go, we for sure know of one which is the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader’s Lightsaber (40897) which you can only get when you purchase the UCS Executor Super Star Destroyer (75457). This will run from October 1-10, while supplies last.

There has been a rumor of something for the PlayStation (72306) but LEGO hasn’t officially announced anything yet. We’ll update if there is something.

September 25, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you’re still looking to pick up the LEGO Marvel Avengers Tower (76269), Amazon currently has it in stock at retail price. The LEGO Shop has been temporarily out of stock for little bit now and there’s no telling of when it will come back. One thing to note is that it is not listed as retiring soon so there’s still plenty of time to get it. The set is sold and shipped by Amazon but the delivery time is between October and November, if you can wait that long.
