Best upcoming Lego sets 2024: this year’s top new Lego releases

Prepare for a block party with these superb Lego sets, due out later this year

When Lego founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen pivoted his business to plastic bricks, we wonder if he had any idea of the global phenomenon Lego would become. Today, there are  many themes , for kids and adult collectors alike. It’s hard to keep track . So we’re doing it for you, with the  Stuff  guide to the best upcoming Lego sets.

• Read:  The best large Lego sets you should buy

Note: this list covers officially announced Lego sets. There are no rumours, leaks, nor models the writer ham-fistedly pieced together from a pile of random bricks.

October 2024 Lego sets

Batman: The Classic TV Series Batmobile ( $149.99 / £129.99  • 1822 pieces):  Holy oversized cars, Batman! Yes, the included 1966-style Batman minifig won’t be driving  this  gigantic take on the classic TV show’s car. (And 1960s Robin is sadly absent. Bah.) But you will be able to happily yell  BOFF! and ZWAPP!  while vrooming this beauty across your desk. All while mulling that they really don’t make ’em like they used to. This Batmobile even has a dash of vibrant colour. Imagine!

Consider these…

Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi ( $129.99 / £114.99 • 1215 pieces):  It feels like Nintendo’s going to comical lengths to avoid giving us Mario minifigs. We already have  dead-eyed computer Mario , and now there’s gigantic pixel-art Mario riding gigantic pixel-art Yoshi. They’re animated too – like the  Lego NES , this set has a hand crank. And you can twiddle a dial so Yoshi pokes his tongue out at anyone who remarks you just spent over a hundred bucks on a Lego version of a  SNES sprite .

Battle Bus ( $99.99 / £89.99  • 954 pieces):  Our favourite Lego Fortnite set nets you what appears to be 75% of a  Fortnite   CMF series  and a fab recreation of the Battle Bus that you can stuff characters inside of and swoop around the room. Or, you know, display on a shelf so Adventure Peely, Cube Assassin, Meowscles and chums can cast a steely eye on their surroundings and locate enemies to take out.

Supply Llama ( $39.99 / £34.99  • 691 pieces):  With its goofy expression and shaggy coat, this Lego llama piñata should prove a hit even with folks who have no idea what  Fortnite is. But for those who do, they’ll get a great showpiece for display, inside which they can stash all kinds of goodies that can be bestowed on the gang from the Battle Bus set, while they wonder why supply llamas have become so relatively huge these days.

Jabba’s Sail Barge ( $499.99 / £429.99  • 3942 pieces): The latest  Star Wars  UCS set is very… brown. But, hey, that’s what happens when you recreate evil slug Jabba’s luxury floating transport in brick form. It’s suitably gigantic at 77cm/30.5in long, and you can lift off the deck to access scenes to produce your own  Jedi  ret-con that’d make George Lucas very miffed. Almost as miffed as us, in fact, on discovering Luke isn’t included here – you’ll need to fork out another 80 bucks for the  Desert Skiff  to complete the scene.

Also coming in 2025: Lego Super Mario Kart . Vrrrrmmm!

The best Lego sets of 2024 so far…

Jaws ( $149.99 / £129.99  •1497 pieces):  Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the toy shop, “you’re gonna need a bigger shelf”. This set is a blocky take on the famous scene from  Jaws . The boat! The stars! The shark! And Mr Bitey has his own line in horror, given that when you place the top half on the diorama to pursue the boat, the other half is left on the stand. Scream! Etc!

Creative Play Droid Builder ( $99.99 / £89.99  • 1186 pieces):  Who had ‘Lego droids meets  Mr. Potato Head ’ on their 2024 Lego bingo card? Us neither. But as absurd as this set is, we’re warming to the notion of building R2-D2 and chums and giving them comedy disguises. If you’re a boring type, don’t worry, because a vanilla  C-3PO  is on the way too.

McLaren P1 ( $449.99 / £389.99  • 3893 pieces):  Another Lego Technic set arrives that’s only marginally less complicated than building the real-world car it represents. This time, it’s a very yellow supercar that looks, well, super. Coo over the 7-speed gearbox! Play with the dihedral doors! Zoom it along your kitchen table when no-one’s looking!

More recent highlights from the best 2024 Lego sets

T. rex ( $59.99 / £54.99  • 626 pieces):  This feels like Lego’s taken the phenomenally popular  Mighty Dinosaurs and given it the detail of  Wild Safari Animals ,  Majestic Tiger  and  Forest Animals . We’re here for that. The stompy main build looks great and is infinitely more interesting than the moulded dinos found in most  Jurassic World sets.

Lamborghini Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole ( $179.99 / £159.99  • 1506 pieces):  If the  Speed Champions Lambo didn’t do it for you, here’s a far more detailed take. Those 1506 pieces net you a sleek white ride to zoom across the desk. Or just sit back from afar and admire, gazing adoringly on the brick-built V12 engine, deep-dish rims, rear spoiler and distinctive scissor doors.

Notre-Dame de Paris ( $229.99 / £199.99  • 4383 pieces):  Five years after a devastating fire, this Paris landmark’s reconstruction is almost complete. This Lego set, packed as it is with 1×1 tiles, may take you almost as long to build. But when you’re done, you’ll have a gorgeous brick-built model showing how the building looked before that fateful day.

More great recent Lego sets from 2024…

Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze ( $59.99 / £54.99  • 435 pieces):   Finally, the Batmobile from Batman: The Animated Series joins the  1960s  and  1980s  incarnations in Lego form. It’s a bit spendy, and apparently  this  Batman doesn’t only  work in black or very, very dark grey . But whether or not you can tap into Bruce Waynesque funds, let’s face it: if you’re a fan of the show, you’re buying this one. 

Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 ( $299.99 / £259.99  • 2500 pieces):  If nothing else, this set is great for confirming Nintendo isn’t  entirely  against minifigs.  (*cough*Super Mario CMF*cough*) The titular tree’s the main feature, and can be built in  Breath of the Wild or  Ocarina of Time  forms. There are plenty of other details to dig into for the  Zelda  fan too. Just as well, given that this set costs as much as a  Switch .

NASA Artemis Space Launch System ( $259.99 / £219.99  • 3601 pieces): If your idea of space Lego is more grounded in reality, you’ll love the latest NASA set. As ever, there’s plenty of detail, including retractable launch tower umbilicals and separating rocket stages. There’s even a dinky Orion module with foldout solar panels. Space fans will be over the moon building a rocket that’s intended to once again take people there.

And even more cracking Lego sets from 2024…

Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale ( $359.99 / £314.99 • 3745 pieces): Celebrating 50 years of D&D, this set is quite the monster. And suitably, it includes some brick-built monsters too. The biggest is Cinderhorn, a gigantic posable dragon, braced to set fire to the included minifigs. Or just sit atop the castle. All depending on whether it rolls a 6 or a 20. Or something.

TIE Interceptor ( $229.99 / £199.99  • 1931 pieces): This one has history – the TIE Interceptor was part of the very first Ultimate Collector Series line, back in 2000. But mostly, it’s about a massive swooshy spaceship of evil, ready to blast lasers at your UCS X-Wing. Or, you know, just sit there on a shelf, looking menacing. And infinitely more sleek than the comparatively gigantic UCS TIE Fighter.

Retro Camera ( $19.99 / £17.99  • 261 pieces) :  Lego’s recreations of old kit ( console ;  typewriter ;  grand piano ) are usually wallet-thumpingly expensive. Not here. This brick-built snapper – complete with film, strap and moving lens – is pocket-money friendly. And the retro TV ‘b’ build is adorable.

OK, we’re done now.

Review: LEGO Ideas 40487 Sailboat Adventures gift-with-purchase

With all the new August 2021 LEGO releases , I couldn’t of course miss out on increasing my VIP points warchest as well as nab the really sweet LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventures, a free gift-with-purchase when you spend over US$200 / £200 / AU$279 on LEGO.com

Curious about the LEGO Ideas label? The set was the winner of the  LEGO Ideas Dream Holiday contest , and designed by talented LEGO Instagrammer and Photographer  @yc_solo aka Yan Chevalier.

The LEGO Ideas Sailboat will be available until 29 August 2021 while stocks last, so if you’re on the fence about the set, I hope this review helps you decide!

Name:  Sailboat Adventures Set Number:  40487 Pieces : 330 Price:  N/A (Gift with Purchase from LEGO.com) Exclusive to:  LEGO Brand Retail Stores, LEGO.com Theme:  Promotional, Ideas Release Date:  1 August 2021 Purchase Threshold: US$200 / £200 / AU$279

Firstly, I love the box and instruction manual design. It rejects the bleak all-black Ideas box design we’ve come to expect, and instead boasts a postcard-worthy illustrated background of the Sailboat over open waters, with the sun setting over the horizon.

I also don’t know why – but I really like the aesthetics of these square-ish instruction booklets. Over on the inside is a lovely profile of the competition winner – Yan Chevalier, and the story behind his contest submission and original design.

Yan is an accomplished toy photographer, and you can check out his amazing work over on Instagram @yc_solo .

The set comes with 2 minifigures, which I like to imagine are LEGO personifications of yc_solo and his wife – the hairstyle and good-natured expression absolutely line up.

Under their orange lifejackets are 2 delightfully appropriate nautical outfits. Are you even allowed on a sailboat or yacht if you’re not wearing stripes?

The male Sailor’s torso is new I think as I’ve not come across that particular design before, and I love that he has a navy neckerchief printed on it as well. I certainly hope we see more of this torso in future sets.

Here’s a look at the detailed back printing, which really allows you to appreciate the sailor’s neckerchief! I have to say, safety aside, both these minifigures look way better without their lifejackets.

You get 2 dolphins in the set. If they look familiar, it’s because these sand blue versions are identical to the one from Series 21’s Paddle Surfer .

Both dolphins are attached to a large round plate, and the way they’re posed really create a sense of movement, as they leap out of the water at different heights, with a dramatic splash of water in their wake, thanks to the crystals and transparent elements.

This mini-diorama works really well here.

Here’s a look at the completed Sailboat – which is impressively tall at 26cm high thanks to the large white sails. I’m not a boat person and have never been on a yacht, so this isn’t something I relate to, but I really appreciate just how clean and pleasing the design is.

The colours in particular are pleasing to the eye – with earth-tones like dark tan punctuated by pops of pearl and drum-lacquered gold, followed by the sharp contrasts of the white sails and black beams.

I really like the cabin, which is a little small but remains in-scale with the entire model. It exudes luxury, with the smooth stud-less exterior, and gentle curves as well as the pearl gold portholes.

The cabin’s exterior can be easily removed, revealing a small plank for a bed and comfortable sleeps one.

You can also pose the minifig emerging from the cabin entrance!

The Sailboat is perched on some plates for a sense of stability, and it has transparent cheese slopes to give the impression of waves created as the sailboat cruises along the ocean, and there’s an anchor hanging out the side as well.

If you’d like less of a “sailboat on a water-look”, you could swap the plates out for a more traditional black display stand to make it look more like a model sailboat that you can decorate your desk with.

The boat is named Éloïse, after Yan’s daughter and the detail is brought to life with stickers on both the starboard and port side of the yacht.

The shape of the sailboat’s bow is greatly enhanced by the use of these dark tan shells which give it a realistic shape.

The Sailboat has two rather large forward pulpits (?), which protrude out the front. I found these to be quite clumsy, and kept knocking them out of place when moving the sailboat around.

The sails are seriously big, and really steal most of the sailboat’s thunder thanks to just how much space it takes up. I really enjoyed the fact that these were entirely brick-built, cobbled together by a number of white bricks and slopes to create a very classic sailboat sail shape.

I don’t know if I was unlucky, but I found that there were several white bricks that looked to have discoloured, or oxidised – especially the large slopes on the right. When placed against the other stark white bricks, the discolouration is evident if you stare at it hard enough.

Last but not least – for an extra dash of luxury, I also really liked the generous use of these wood-print tiles scattered across the yacht. They really class it up, and gives it a pleasing organic and natural look.

What I liked:

• One of the best GWPs that LEGO have ever produced
• A unique and engaging build
• Sailboat has great display presence
• Nice selection of minifigures and 2 dolphins

What I didn’t like: 

• Discoloured white bricks
• The forward pulpits and some other parts are a little fiddly
• Purchase threshold is a little high

FINAL THOUGHTS :

LEGO have (pardon the pun), blown this one out of the water, and is a truly fine LEGO Ideas gift-with-purchase set. The fact that LEGO did not have to deviate much from yc_solo’s contest submission, just speaks to how well crafted the Sailboat Adventures set is.

Like the Vintage Car GWP from earlier in the year, this set exudes a certain sense of carefree adventure, and reminds me of when travel was still possible, and we could dream about sailing of into the sunset on a stupidly expensive rental yacht.

There aren’t many particularly glaring flaws with 40487 Sailboat Adventures – there are lots of minor niggles, like discoloured bricks, and fiddly bits, but for a “free set”, it really sets the bar really high on what can be expected from a LEGO gift with purchase.

The purchase threshold was disappointingly high, which does run the risk of pricing out those that don’t have a ton of disposable income, or have nothing on your list that screams “buy now!”, but for 330 pieces, you are getting a really substantial set, that would otherwise retail for US$30-$50 dollars easily – plus it’s free if you were already planning to purchase something. Thankfully, August 2021 had plenty of new releases, so I imagine the calculus not being too challenging here.

This is a superb display piece, sized rightly and with proportions and a sense of size that is more than the sum of its 330-pieces, and will appeal to a broad spectrum of LEGO fans.

If you’re on the fence about the 40487 Sailboat Adventures, I highly recommend taking the plunge, as this is a particularly memorable and special set that will only be available for a short time.

Rating   and score: 4/5  ★★★★✰

Build [4]  – A quick build with lots of interesting techniques, including the sails Real Value [5]  – A value-packed set, especially since it’s essentially “free” Innovation [4]  – A sensational model at this particular scale thanks to the brick-built sails Coolness [4]  – Yachts are reserved for the super-rich, so I’d say this makes the set cool Keepability [5]  – Ideas set. Limited-time GWP. This set is a prime collector’s model.

40487 Sailboat Adventures  will be available as a Gift with Purchase from  LEGO.com , from 1-29 August (while stocks last) when you spend  US$200 / £200 / AU$279 online.

Thanks so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed this really quick review of the the LEGO Ideas Sailboat Adventures set, and a massive congratulations to Yans Chevalier and his family for this outstanding achievement.

I’ll leave you with my interpretation of a “Sailboat Adventure”.
