Here comes October, and it is a great month for LEGO® parts in sets at this time of year!
For nearly three decades LEGO® bricks have appeared in video game form, and more and more often we're now seeing the reverse. The latest entertainment behemoth to make the leap from console to brick is Fortnite, which received an all-LEGO mode in December 2023. Now, the physical half of this bilateral collaboration between The LEGO Group and Epic Games is dropping into our world.
New LEGO® elements are always at the top of our Christmas list here at New E! Let's see what goodies Santa has delivered us in this year's Winter Village installment, 10339 Santa's Post Office.
We’re finishing off the LEGO® Wednesday sets with the title character's living quarters featured in 76781 Wednesday & Enid's Dorm Room. The tenants have very different styles and their dark meets colorful personalities are on display in their shared room. Let's find out if the clashing styles will result in a comprehensive build.
Wednesday is a spin-off TV series, following the daughter from The Addams Family as she’s sent to a special school for outcasts. She’s a girl who sees the world with a healthy dose of sarcasm and speaks her mind with a love for the macabre. The second season is expected to premier on Netflix in 2025 and, to prepare us, LEGO is releasing 3 sets based on the show in October 2024.
I’ve already had a quick look at the LEGO® BrickHeadz™ set 40750 Wednesday & Enid, and today we’re taking a look at 76780 Wednesday Addams Figure. Snap your fingers twice and enter Nevermore Academy with me.
The LEGO® Pharrell Williams collaborative set 10391 Over the Moon was revealed earlier this month in advance of the October release of the film Piece by Piece, an animated biopic directed by Academy Award® winner Morgan Neville.

LEGO® Speed Champions 76924 Mercedes-AMG G 63 & Mercedes-AMG SL 63 comes with several recolours, exclusive prints and two builds that couldn't be more different from each other – aside from the fact they're both cars, of course!
The June 2024 LEGO® Disney™ set 43247 Young Simba the Lion King is another example of an adult-oriented product based on a children's character. In addition to being a large model of the cartoon lion cub, this set is a treasure trove of Bright Light Orange pieces, also known as Flame Yellowish Orange, or Keetorange as I like to say. So what is this set worth to a builder who has never seen The Lion King?

It's time to crack the LEGO® Da Vinci Code! The new Mona Lisa LEGO® Art set hides not only a mysterious smile but also many recoloured elements to re-imagine the famous painting in bricks.

After building The Milano and Dancing Groot for review and being thoroughly happy with the value of those sets, I moved onto The Helicarrier and I was a little disappointed with what was on offer for the price. I actually felt a little mean about being so critical. Nevertheless, I embarked upon my analysis of set 76291 Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron with a degree of pessimism.
Before proceeding further, I decided to investigate the relative cost of the August 2024 LEGO Marvel sets against other IP (intellectual property) sets and regular LEGO sets, to judge if my concerns were justified.
