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.

Brickset has just released the official images for the first initial offering of LEGO Marvel 2023 sets, slated to arrive in January. As of this posting, these sets are yet to appear on LEGO’s online shopping portal. But with the usual reveal of the Q1 2023 LEGO sets this December, such as those from LEGO Ninjago, LEGO Super Mario, and LEGO Collectible Minifigures themes to name a few, we can expect the official listing from this side of Marvel brick fandom to happen at LEGO.com anytime soon.
Though the tie-up film received a rather mixed review, LEGO Marvel fans will be glad to know that LEGO has just introduced its first-ever rendition of Morbius in its cool-looking minifigure format.
Here’s what to expect from this initial LEGO Marvel 2023 offerings. Check out their official images and brief product descriptions below.
220 pieces | Includes Miles Morales and Morbius minifigures | $24.99
Help Miles Morales catch the vampire villain Morbius. Race through the streets in Miles’s super racer car. Use the booster at the back of the car for extra power, then fire the 2 stud shooters as you get close. When Morbius calls bats to come to his rescue, sling a web to stick him up for good!
264 pieces | Includes Ghost Rider minifigure | $34.99
Put Ghost Rider into his mech and take a wild ride on his supersized, supercool motorcycle! Bad guys don’t stand a chance when faced with this awesome mech’s movable arms, legs, crushing hands, and soul-catching chain.
385 pieces | Includes Bruce Banner, Okoye, and 2 Outriders minifigures | $49.99
Put Bruce Banner into the Hulkbuster for mega-thrilling action in Wakanda. Just like in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War, the mighty, movable mech twists, turns, stomps, and smashes as it battles the bad guys – with a little help from Okoye and her spear!
795 pieces | Includes Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, Thor, and Loki minifigures | $99.99
Speed through space aboard the Quinjet for endless Avengers adventures! Open the top section and place Black Widow, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America in their seats, while Loki sneaks in through a rear entrance. Fold the wheels up into the base and adjust the wing position ready for high-speed Super Hero action!
