Today we have a mini-parts festival all in one article! Three team members have turned their eyes to a mould introduced back in January 2025: Brick Curved 2 x 2 with Curved Front, 2 Studs (7037). Tom Loftus treats us with a quick look at the geometry and connection points, and Kevin J. Walter and Eero Okkonen experiment with some creations of their own.
Furthermore, North America get a second chance at the Sméagol™ & Déagol™ GwP with purchases of LEGO® Icons set 10354 The Lord of the Rings: The Shire™. Read on for details!
LEGO® Ideas set 21361 Gremlins: Gizmo originates from a contest on that platform, and I'm happy seeing a LEGO Ideas set that's not in minifigure scale. But is this little Mogwai a companion worth all the strict rules, and the threat of Gremlins infestation?
Update: 21360 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship and 76300 Arkham Asylum™ have now been added to this list showing 395 new LEGO® elements within the September 2025 sets released to date, with links to which sets they come in, in case you wish to purchase.
For those of you who prefer it, here is our list of the September 2025 sets showing their new elements.
It's a great week for LEGO® Gifts with Purchase because on top of the 40769 SEGA® Genesis™ Controller GwP, those purchasing 10365 Captain Jack Sparrow's Pirate Ship will receive the 5009609 Captain Jack Sparrow’s Compass GwP!

The LEGO Group have announced the inclusion of a 3D-printed blue train element in the October 2025 LEGO® Icons set 10361 Holiday Express Train, and sent us a copy.
While this is not the first LEGO 3D element by any means, it will be the first time one has appeared in a regular retail set with wide availability. This seems like a good opportunity to take a look at the LEGO 3D-printed parts we have encountered so far, and where they might take us.

I'm no gamer, but the New E crew have pitched in to educate me – so read on for our review!
Three more LEGO® Wednesday sets were announced earlier this year, so let's take a look at one of these October releases: 76785 Thing's Apartment.
The sets are all tie-ins related to the Wednesday Netflix TV series, a spin-off of The Addams Family focusing on the teenage daughter's adventures at school. 76785 Thing's Apartment is based on a scene where Wednesday's roommate Enid Sinclair makes Thing its own home.

Does the set lives up to its name or did The LEGO Group drop the ball on this one? Let's lace up and find out...
