LEGO® Pick a Brick: new elements added in June 2025

Posted by Admin

A sense of normality returns to LEGO® Pick a Brick! New pieces from LEGO sets released in February 2025 have been added to the service following the traditional 4-month gap.


30 lego pieces

There's only 32 pieces this time, almost all of which you can see in the image above, which may be a relief to your wallet after the 1000+ new elements added a month ago! However, one of the ones not pictured above is rare, having never appeared in a commercially available set – read on for details.

Review: 76976 Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission from LEGO® Jurassic World™

Posted by Kev Levell

The Jurassic Park franchise has been with us since 1993. Back then my cinema ticket and a tub of popcorn cost me less than £5 and the idea of a LEGO® collaboration that would make T. rexes, brachiosauruses and raptors was probably as outlandish as the idea of a dinosaur theme park. But here we are, over thirty years and several sequels later, a cinema ticket for Jurassic World Rebirth and a tub of popcorn will probably cost me closer to £15 and LEGO movie tie-in dinosaurs are commonplace enough that we now look to tick off species of prehistoric creature from our wants lists.

Available from today, 76976 Spinosaurus & Quetzalcoatlus Air Mission should tick off at least one of those boxes but, as the largest set of the wave, perhaps comparing it to the price of cinema tickets and popcorn is a little unfair. I'll need to add a tray of nachos, a big gulp of fizzy pop and a bag of M&Ms for me and the family, to come close.

It's now June 2025 and a variety of new LEGO® Gifts with Purchase (GwP) are available!

Review: 31217 Tiger from LEGO® Art

Posted by tobymac

As with all art, the LEGO® Art theme is constantly evolving. Last year, 31211 Macaw Parrots was the first set with the label ‘The Fauna Collection’ featuring two flat, stylized parrots not directly based on an artist's work. The second set in the collection is now rearing its roaring head: 31217 Tiger

Review: LEGO® 11203 Bluey's Family House, 11202 Bluey's Beach and Family Car Trip & 11201 Playground Fun

Posted by Thomas Jenkins

Hooray! The long-awaited LEGO® BLUEY™ sets are almost here. The new theme launches with 3 LEGO® System 4+ sets which my family and I have reviewed here today: 11201 Playground Fun with Bluey, 11202 Bluey's Beach and Family Car Trip, and 11203 Bluey's Family House; and 2 LEGO® DUPLO® sets, which we will review soon.

With heaps of new elements, including new minifigures, tons of prints, and even a few new moulds (for real life!), there's a lot to discuss. Let's do this!

LEGO® Ghost Effect with Bar (part 5500)

Posted by Tom Loftus
Today we're playing catch-up with a quick look at the geometry and connection points of an element introduced in 2024: Design Element No.8 (5500), also known as Power Burst, Energy Claw Section Rounded with Bar End and 3 Bar Handles on BrickLink and Ghost Effect with Bar on Rebrickable.

Despite appearing on our best parts of 2024 list, we've yet to actually analyse this ghoulish element in all its ethereal glory, but now that it is available on LEGO Pick a Brick in 2 colours, its time has come.

Review: 10367 Balrog Book Nook from LEGO® Icons

Posted by Eero

LEGO® Lord of the Rings was very popular back in 2012 and 2013. Less than 20 sets were released, and their aftermarket prices are formidable. The theme returned two years ago under the LEGO® Icons line with more adult-oriented and expensive playsets, flanked by some LEGO® Brickheadz. Compared to 10316 Rivendell (see our review by Ben Davies), 10333 Barad-dûr (review by Jonas Kramm) and 10354 The Shire (review by Thomas Jenkins), the June 2025 set 10367 Balrog Book Nook feels like a modestly sized, affordable model.  Except that modestly sized and affordable in 2025 means 1201 pieces for US$129.99/ £109.99/ 119.99€!

Parts review: June 2025 LEGO® Friends sets

Posted by tobymac

Summer is coming to the Northern Hemisphere, and Heartlake City continues to grow with another wave of sets. With 13 products, the range coming on 1 June 2025 is a fair bit smaller than January's, which featured 20, but that won't diminish the quality of the models, or of course the new elements they bring – and there's even a new color.

As with the previous waves, I’ve opened up all the boxes we received for review – 11 of the 13 sets – and dug through them to bring you an overview of all the new elements these bring us, before building the featured models in later articles.
