Chinese Festival, Speed Champs and Modular will be my first buys!

This was a really neat roundup of the 2026 sets so far! The Bugs Bunny set was new to me; hilarious! :)

Lots of sets from a number of themes that I'm excited for and will be getting

and LEGO Academy F1 car isn't a highlight? It is better than those sports cars! They are similar to other ones before (I know that the LEGO Academy F1 car is similar to other 12 cars this year...but it is car that LEGO is sponsoring!!!

"STILL absolutely no mention of 42218, 42219, or 42220? Come on, those are the pick of the Technic crop!"

Neither of 30735.....which honestly is my favorite of the bunch, apart from the rocket.

Usually I do like the small Technic sets, but 42218 looks like a design that turned out slightly too big for a polybag.

Still no Jurassic World sets revealed. Sad, guess I have to wait a bit longer.

31378 isn't actually in the linked announcement article...

Pretty sure the Easter egg in 31380 Retro Gaming Console depicts Mario and Pokey.

The City sets look fantastic, as well as Speed Champions. A minifigure animal theme is welcome as well.

I think the image on the home screen for this article is appropriate. It feels like just dumping a bunch of trash!

There's a few gems here and there (Lovegood, Stranger Things, big mech, etc.), but mostly it's money-saving crap.

"Kinda ironic that a picture of 60495 is used for the article, even when it was ignored in the announcement article and isn't mentioned here either.....

Also, why is Bugs Bunny in the "Seasonal" theme? Hunting Season? or did someone confuse him with the some other famous bunny?

Many good sets, though the only ones I'll probably buy are the Japanese painting and the DeLorean. And well, maybe some of the Creator sets as typical impulse buy whenever I encounter them with a good discount."

60495 Recycling Truck was added to LEGO.com after we published the City article on Tuesday and 40920 Bugs Bunny is classified as a Seasonal set because it is an Easter product, just like 40824 Sweetheart Tweety Bird was a Valentine's Day set this year."

I guess it was the same with the 31378 Telescope, but at least that one got a mention here ;-)

As for that Tweety set, for that one I kinda get it. But here, it just seems far fetched. Or will it come with a basket of Easter eggs as GWP?

Shopping street sucks so much. I can't even...

Depends which year you mean. Christmas 2030 hasn't happened yet

Will be getting that, and will be getting those planets spinning round

What a hit.

Wait, what?! That insane Hollywood action flick "Heist Master, Bank Safe and Getaway Supercar Cargo Train" set is not in the roundup?

"City is really cooking, even HOG steering on some sets!"

That Technic cog on the cement mixer looks like it is operating the turning of the drum. No steering wheels on the City sets it seems.

Edit: Ah, now I see the steering on the airport crash truck. On another note... €70?!

I love that the orrery in 31378 has nine planets!

In USD it's only slightly more than 60374, which seems like a pretty reasonable comparison as another big fire truck with Features and Details. I guess the exchange rate has shifted.

Excellent overview. Much appreciated!

With how quickly the cheap sets retire, I don’t think it’s even gonna make it to Christmas 2026.

"Unlike other sites we don't need to mention every set in the announcement articles because all the information is always readily available in our database.

All 184 2026 sets that have been announced and we have pictures of can be seen here: https://brickset.com/sets/year-2026/filter-HasImage/category-normal"

Oh sure, and it wasn't meant as criticism. I just found it funny a picture is used from a set many people likely didn't know existed.
(and I'm happy that the Telescope here did get some much deserved exposure in this article!)

@PurpleDave: Know what's funny...I completely forgot that there's MORE than ONE VERSION of that 'sketch', until 'MeTV' a couple years ago did a celebration of Bugs' 'birthday' (...shouldn't that be 'anniversary', as Bugs isn't...um...moving on). They ran about four hours of just Bugs' cartoons, starting with three versions of the sketch...completely fun overall..:)

Looking forward to 2026, hopefully the latter sets of the year are equally cool.

I like how that City tractor uses a mech chest part as the front of the vehicle. Even the most specialized Lego pieces can be used in different ways.

I hadn't noticed that! That is indeed NPU.
