New moulds review: LEGO® Speed Champions January 2026 sets 77253, 77254 and 77257

We continue our analysis of the LEGO® Speed Champions January 2026 sets with a look at four exciting new moulds that can be found in sets 77253 Bugatti Vision GT Hyper Sports Car, 77254 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Sports Car and 77257 McLaren W1.

Review: 75440 AT-AT™ from LEGO® Star Wars™

The LEGO® Star Wars™ 75440 AT-AT™ is firmly aimed at the adult market. It says so on the product page on the LEGO website, twice. At least. So if you're a child: don't get any ideas, this is for adults!

The Starship Collection brings together iconic vehicles from the Star Wars universe at a shelf-friendly scale, with prices that feel more attainable than those of the Ultimate Collector Series. Set 75440 AT-AT fits in with this range of ships in a packaging and overall dimensions sense, but is not explicitly labelled as part of the collection. It deviates from the established range in class of vehicle perhaps, but nevertheless feels like it is part of that product range, and LEGO has described this as "complimentary" to other mid-scale models.

Revealed: 43019 Football from LEGO® Editions

LEGO® Editions are hoping to score big with the next set they are kicking out in March 2026. 43019 Football is an almost 1:1 scale model of the size 5 football ball used in official matches.

We've had a peek at the press release images to see if there are any new elements onside or if we should just clear the ball from inside the box. (There's more puns to come...)

Review: 71858 Four Weapons Blacksmith from LEGO® NINJAGO®

When LEGO® NINJAGO® first debuted in 2011, few would have guessed that the theme and associated television series would still be going strong 15 years later.

The theme has returned to its roots for this significant anniversary, providing us with a faithful rendition of the Four Weapons Blacksmith as it appeared at the start of the very first pilot episode, while taking advantage of the elements introduced in the last decade-and-a-half.

Revealed: Crocs™ x LEGO® Brick Clog

File under: Well, I wasn't expecting that.

Despite seeming like a wonderful April Fool's Day joke that's come early, it is actually true: Crocs™ are doing collabs with The LEGO Group. Finally, for the price of US$149.99, you can step in a LEGO brick instead of stepping on one.

Review: 11503 Flower Wall from LEGO® Botanicals

At New Elementary, we like LEGO® Botanicals, as they frequently offer us sweet recolours to feature. 11503 Flower Wall has a whopping 25 recolours, totalling about 300 pieces of the 879 in the set. That's a lot! The set also makes a compelling arrangement, and features two new LEGO colours. 

Customers seem to like the theme too, as it pumps out goodies all the time. Didn't we only just enjoy Tom's analysis of the new parts in the LEGO Botanicals January line-up? The flowering never ends.

MOC analysis: Nick Trotta's Chain Reaction RVR-05

Arno Knobbe returns today with another mathematical analysis; this time of an actual LEGO® model and the popular 2025 element that it uses: the "ring pop".

2026… The turn of the calendar marks fresh ambitions, new elements, more LEGO® geometry articles, but also the annual release of Nick Trotta’s latest spaceship! If, against the odds, you’re not familiar with Nick’s work, over the years his ships have taken the art of ABS spaceship-building to the brink of rocket science – and with each new build, however few and far between, he continues to push that envelope.

Revealed: 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy from LEGO® Icons available to pre-order

Dog lovers (and Tan lovers), here's one for you! LEGO® Icons set 11384 Golden Retriever Puppy is coming on 1 February 2026 and stands 30cm (11.5 inches) high, ruffly speaking. This poseable pooch can be positioned in many cute stances and even has a spare tongue, when panting is required!

Pre-order: 77093 Ocarina of Time™ – The Final Battle from LEGO® The Legend of Zelda™

The second LEGO® The Legend of Zelda™ set has just been officially revealed, and is available for pre-order now in advance of its release on 1 March 2026!

As the name suggests, it depicts the epic final battle that takes place in the 1998 game Ocarina of Time™, when Link and Zelda – having confronted the evil Ganondorf and destroyed his castle – are surprised when Ganandorf leaps from the rubble and transforms into his true form, the ultimate villain Ganon (who appears in brick-built form in this set).
