Get ready for the June releases
Posted by Huw,
Tomorrow will see the launch of over a hundred new sets in the UK and Europe, and a decent number in North America as well.
Here's what will be available worldwide, and indeed is already available in Australia:
- 10333 The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dûr
- 21061 Notre-Dame de Paris
- 10334 Retro Radio
- 21349 Tuxedo Cat
- 40719 Traditional Chess Set
- Speed Champions
- Harry Potter
- Star Wars
- Friends
- BrickHeadz
- Minecraft
- Some City sets
- Some Disney sets
Additionally, everyone outside the USA and Canada will also be able to buy:
- All City sets
- All Disney sets
- Ninjago
- Jurassic World
- Batman
- Monkie Kid
40685 Water Park remains the GWP with purchases of City, Friends, Dreamzzz and Ninjago in excess of £90 / $100 / €100, and if you're quick buying the Lord of the Rings fortress you'll receive 40693 The Lord of the Rings: Fell Beast, but only while stocks last, which I predict will not be very long!
The new sets and products page at LEGO.com will be updated once they are all available, usually at midnight local time, and shortly afterwards our buy listings will be updated as well.

I don't have to wait. It's already June 1st here in NZ!
Do we know why America is always getting the sets in August? Have wondered it for some years now. Is it because the packaging design is different or?
Did I miss something? Lego.com still has the new Disney sets listed to be available June 1. I was planning to head over there to grrab Maleficent tomorrow.
Heading to my local Lego shop tomorrow, hping to grab the GWP, assuming Lego have produced more than 5 this time! :)

It's because the big US retailers do their stocktaking in the summer and don't want loads of new stuff on the shelves at the time.

I believe a small subset of Disney sets will be released tomorrow in the USA but not all.
Here's hoping the site actually works. Praying to the server gods.
Huh, I didn’t realize 60440 wasn’t officially out yet, it’s been on the floor in Costco around here for a few weeks now
any idea if the new Star Wars sets will be available on amazon too?
A lot of the sets I'm personally looking forward to, like the Monkie Kid sets and most of the Ninjago sets, won't be released in my country this month... but still looking forward to a couple, like the Tournament Temple City or the new Lego Delivery Truck.
And of course I'm also looking forward to browsing the digital instructions of some of those ones that are coming out in Europe and elsewhere.

Ah, thank you. I poked around the website and realized that the two I was wanting are indeed listed for tomorrow, while the Lion King and Little Mermaid stuff are showing August release.
Hmm. Do I want to get 10334 as soon as it's available, to do I build some of my existing backlog and wait for a good GWP? Decisions, decisions...

Really? That's fantastic, Costco usually has great pricing, you just never know what they'll actually have--and I just checked and see it listed online for 15% under retail. Already ordered, thanks for the tip!
WHSmith already had Notre Dame for 20% off, but it looks to be OOS now.
Double Insiders points 12 - 16 June.
I'll probably wait for that to pick up Aragog and possibly a City Jungle set or two for the animals.
I'm going to hold back on Maleficent Dragon 43240 . If Argos carries it, my guess is that it will eventually be discounted as I don't think it will sell well.
I want me a Barad-dur but I just cannot. Thankfully that GWP isn't worth it, even if it'll probably sell for $100 later on.
Thank you to everyone who actually wanted to bemoan these new sets in the comments. Sadly, however, it appears that new set excitement and cordial discourse is the order of the day, so the comments have to continue for the time being.
Yay! Australia finally gets the Space cmfs…a month after everyone else. A lot of the new sets I already picked up days ago and at 20% off. Didn’t buy anything from Lego store today.
This morning (1st June 2024) I ordered 21349 Tuxedo Cat. The order was accepted and payment duly made. Minutes later I received an email from LEGO stating that the item was currently out of stock. I received the same reply from LEGO a few weeks ago for 31213 Mona Lisa and 76433 Mandrake (both paid for in advance). It would seem that living in New Zealand, and being the first country to see the light of a new day, is no guarantee of receiving the goods.

Good luck to all early hunters
