Marvel character mechs are quite a staple for LEGO sets since their introduction back in 2015, and we can definitely expect more LEGO Marvel mechs to arrive in the first half of next year. LEGO.com has already listed three new sets under this genre, and it’s great to see that they just keep on getting better.
For this initial offering, we get to see The Hulk get his first-ever LEGO mechanical armor (well, it’s a kind of a stretch since I guess it’s only in LEGO fantasy land where you can see the green giant ever need one). We also get to see the Mad Titan and Rocket get their LEGO Marvel mech upgrades as well. I appreciate how these character mechs keep on improving particularly in terms of their proportional design and articulation.
This trio of new Marvel superhero sets joins the initial wave of LEGO Marvel 2023 offerings introduced last week, all of which will arrive in January next year both in-store and online, retailing for $15 each. Take a look.

LEGO Minecraft fans will surely love this next piece of news. Because in case you missed it, LEGO.com has officially revealed its line-up of new 2023 LEGO Minecraft sets, scheduled to arrive online and in-store in January next year, alongside other licensed themes to be released at the sound of the first bell of 2023.
Personally, I’m glad to see that these new seven 2023 LEGO Minecraft sets show LEGO’s effort to somewhat balance their pricing while leaving more room for playability and aesthetics. This is crucial in my opinion since Minecraft is mainly a world-building game catered to younger video game players. It’s nice to see that even more than a decade since Minecraft once introduced, LEGO is staying true to form with regard to these play features and design.

LEGO.com has officially listed its latest LEGO Lord of the Rings BrickHeadz sets with release dates slated for January 1, 2023. More official images and product descriptions are below.
It seems that an old brick favorite is making its way back into the Shire. The Lord of the Rings is one of the most beloved themes that LEGO came up with. And it’s great to see that we may soon have another wave of Middle-earth-inspired renditions in the form of three new LEGO Lord of the Rings BrickHeadz.
The revelation came in the form of listings in LEGO’s Pick-a-Brick service, with three new BrickHeadz sets inspired by the main characters of the franchise. True to form, these sets come in double packs, where each pair represents a major plot in the movie franchise.
There is no other information about these sets at the moment, save for their piece count and clear images. I assume that these new brick renditions will be available sometime in January 2023 along with other sets previously confirmed for 1HY release or the first half of the year. Its price range may also be around $15-$20, considering LEGO’s previous pricing for double-pack BrickHeadz sets.
Check out these images below. My favorite from the get-go is the Gandalf the Grey and Balrog set. I love how the Balrog turned out in his BrickHeadz version. The combination of black and red pieces, with their subtle variations, is spot-on. It manages to capture the menacing might and terror of the Balrog, reduced in a cute brick-chibi format.
I will update this page once LEGO releases more information about these new LEGO Lord of the Rings BrickHeadz sets. As of this posting, product links are already in place over at LEGO.com referencing these sets so it’s just a matter of time before an official product description is released by LEGO anytime soon.
Which one of these 3 new sets is a day 1 buy for you? Let’s talk about it in the comments section below.
Fans of The Lord of the Rings™ saga will love this collectible LEGO® BrickHeadz™ Frodo™ & Gollum™ set (40630). Frodo comes as a full-size LEGO BrickHeadz figure wearing a brick-built cloak and holding the ring and a sword. The Gollum figure is smaller to reflect the relative sizes of the two characters, and he is holding a fish – his favorite food. These buildable display models make a great gift for The Lord of the Rings fans, LEGO builders and LEGO BrickHeadz collectors.
“You shall not pass!” Celebrate an iconic battle from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring with this collectible LEGO® BrickHeadz™ Gandalf the Grey™ & Balrog™ building set (40631). Recreate iconic details of the wizard Gandalf the Grey and the flaming beast Balrog and display the buildable figures with pride.

Aragorn is portrayed in his king outfit with a crown, and Arwen is wearing a brick-built green wedding dress and tiara. This build-and-display set makes a lovely treat, birthday present or holiday gift for The Lord of the Rings™ fans, LEGO builders and LEGO BrickHeadz collectors.

LEGO has finally unveiled its line-up of LEGO Ninjago 2023 sets, expected to arrive in early January next year. As an offshoot of this year’s LEGO Core subtheme, most of these new EVO-inspired sets allow younger LEGO builders to upgrade or enhance them and unlock new play features.
There’s a total of 10 sets to expect from this LEGO Ninjago 2023 offering, and it’s nice to see that with these, LEGO seems to be focusing more on attracting new and younger fans to the LEGO Ninjago franchise. The series together with its tie-in TV shows and animated films have been running for more than 11 years already since its inception in 2011. The final episodes of the LEGO Ninjago series were concluded early this year, and we just have to wait and see if these new 2023 offerings will give us a hint about what’s in store for one of LEGO’s longest-running series.
