There is a Wallace and Gromit set due out later this year. And a Snoopy one. June perhaps.

I'm discussing Lego with around 20 in a Zoom session. They love the otters and want a Wallace & Grommit set. One was a Lego official builder in his student years

This sounds so much fun. A good chat with people who love Lego.

Oh, Lego Grommit would be great!

I'll be ordering Monets Garden ASAP when it's available.
he was a cracking racehorse
Not so sure about the sea otter, I think I prefer the submitted "ideas" version tbh.
Anyone else got a birthday coming up? I've got a code for a free lego "cake", but even though it's accepted, it doesn't show up in the basket - and if you read the small print the offer ended 31/12/25.
Thoughts?

The Japanese Cherry Blossom is back in stock at Lego.com for anyone who wants the points with their purchase.

I’m not sure about this one. I’d have to see it in person but so far it’s more than likely a pass. What do you all think?

I really like it. Definitely one I want. I will wait until my Birthday for this

It’s my favourite of the art pieces, thus far! I highly doubt it’ll get it though…

@MigGirl My mum gave all of mine to my cousins kids...I had the crater baseplates and a few of the space-y things. 🚀

MigGirl · 08/02/2026 11:07

DH has been building some of his old sets at the moment. He has quite a few of the space sets.

Anyone else have lots of vintage lego?

I wonder if we can make it into one big castle.

It depends what other "spares" you have - I'd guess quite a bit? And you'd need a base plate.

If you've a load of floral bits n pieces, maybe a taller castle tower ruin with gardens below?

LegoTherapy · 06/02/2026 20:25

A successful day for us. We’ve got 3 of the castle GWPs now. I wish the discovery centre had had something more exciting for the GWP. The castles aren’t going for much on eBay so it’s not worth selling. I wonder if we can make it into one big castle.

Omg I have to buy the new Winnie the Pooh

😂🤦🏻‍♀️

DH built the freebie 🐧

I like the lotus flowers. I might have to get them tomorrow because tomorrow is Lego shopping day!

I’m not sure about the Monet set. Compared to the Starry Night it looks a bit lame. I have always had a strong emotional attachment to the two Van Gogh starry night pictures. Monet is pretty but there’s no stirring in my soul when I look at them. Maybe if Don McLean had written a ballad about a Monet painting I might feel differently.
I don’t like the sea otter either. Looks weird and I adore otters. The same applies to the tuxedo and ginger cats. We all like different things and that’s a good thing. I am really looking forward to the X-files set being released. I wonder if it will have a GWP and what it might be? Maybe Scully’s desk and computer where she writes up her notes and musings. Or Mulder’s room with his couch where he sleeps.
I might have mentioned it but I got myself the Orient Express back in December. It’s still in the shipping box and the dc don’t know I’ve got it, nor does my mum. I’m 50 this year and it’s my present to myself. I’m going to ask for Lego for my birthday obviously and save for the X-files set.
Dd’s boyfriend bought her the pink roses and we spent a lovely hour and a half building them tonight. She has shown very little interest in Lego up to now but has humoured me and built small amounts of family sets. It’s amazing the difference a boyfriend can make! She just needs a pretty vase now although they are temporarily housed in one that she might decide is ok. They are very shiny flowers as are the tulips. Very bright and Bonny and make us smile.

Blimey. That’s so similar to the one with 6k votes which was put on Lego Ideas in October 2024.

They are lovely. I made my own little bouquet a while back with the small red roses and the small sunflowers.

Those sunflowers were a nightmare to put together, so glad they've changed them for the bouquet!

I don't know why I never got the roses, I have all the other small ones.

Seen the small red roses set is retiring, so might have to get those. Nice little set to add into others.
