LEGO Japan has revealed the upcoming LEGO Chinese Zodiac Year of the Snake (40707) gift with purchase set. The set consists of 174 pieces and continues the line of Chinese Zodiac animals with the 11th set and will complete the lineup in 2026 with the Horse. There’s no word yet on the release date or pricing but it’ll be some time in January and be priced around $80.
It looks like the rumors of us getting a LEGO Bluey theme seems to be coming true as there is some concrete evidence that has surfaced. In an official post on their Facebook page, the caption shows “A Christmas fit for the Heelers! Hope your tree is full of surprises… 👀🎁” and if you look closely at the pictures, you can see what appears to be the Long Dog Easter Egg built with LEGO. If that’s not enough evidence that we could be seeing LEGO Bluey sets, I don’t know what is.
Bluey has been fairly popular, particularly in LEGO Ideas as there have been a few projects that have reached the 10,000 supporter goal but ultimately did not pass the the review stages. We’ll just have to wait and see if LEGO will actually make any sets.
Coming back again with the LEGO 2025 rumors, one that really stands out that was just reported about from different sources is that we could be getting LEGO One Piece sets. There will be five sets released next summer and will be based on the Netflix series. This rumor is way out there in left field and I’m highly skeptical of it but I’ll be overjoyed if it is true and no doubt that the Going Merry ship will be one of the sets and will feature many of the pirates.
The LEGO Classic Space theme returns in 2025 and we get a reimagining of the Blacktron Renegade (10355). Releasing on January 1, the set has 1,151 pieces and will retail for $99.99. It is an updated version of the Renegade (6954) from 1987 which has some advancements like the planet-rover drop pod and some wing-mounted speeders. The set can also be rebuilt into an updated Alienator from 1988.
Rediscover the excitement of classic LEGO® space sets with the LEGO Icons Blacktron Renegade (10355) model building kit for adults. This upscaled modular version of the iconic 1980s spaceship incorporates modern enhancements that will captivate fans of the beloved LEGO classic.
The asymmetric Blacktron Renegade spaceship is recreated in a modular design with new features, including a planet-rover drop pod, landing gear, 2 wing-mounted space speeders and 2 engine energy canisters. The model comes with 3 Blacktron minifigures and a droid figure, and it can be rebuilt, via online building instructions, into an enhanced version of the 1980s LEGO Alienator.
Come this January, we have the smallest LEGO DC set in the wave with Batman & Batmobile vs. Mr. Freeze (76301). The set has 63 pieces and retails for $19.99.
Even though I don’t cover LEGO rumors that much anymore, this one definitely caught my eye. Rumor insider fateful_04 has reported that we could be getting a $1,000 LEGO Star Wars UCS Death Star (75419) which would be the fall exclusive. Obviously, that would make it the first LEGO set to hit the $1,000 price point at retail and could possibly be another set to have over 10,000 pieces.
Now the question is which Death Star would it be and would it be a static sphere or a playset like with the most recent version which retired in 2020. Let the speculation begin!
The newest LEGO Ideas set on the market is The Botanical Garden (21353) which has 3,792 pieces and retails for a whopping $329.99. Let’s take a deeper look to see if it is actually worth that price.
