In case you missed it, the May 2021 LEGO Store Calendar has already been released online, and obviously, it’s all about LEGO Star Wars. And though we’re about t to conclude this year’s largest Star Wars marketing event, we still have a few hours left to take this May the 4th opportunity and all the LEGO freebies that it offers. Check out this month’s LEGO Store Calendar below.

For every single-receipt purchase of any LEGO sets or products worth $35 and more, you’ll get a free LEGO DOTS Mini Frame (30556). This promotional item is available from April 26 until May 9 this weekend. It may not exactly be your cup of tea but as a free LEGO set, it is still very much welcomed.

However, since this is our last stretch for the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th promo, expect that some of the more premium LEGO sets are already on backorder or sold-out status. This is the case for the popular Helmet Collection and the new UCS R2-D2 (75308) set.
Some of the LEGO Star Wars Helmets are now on backorder status.
Nevertheless, there is still a ton of LEGO Star Wars sets to choose from, and taking a look over at LEGO Shop@Home might lead you to that one LSW set that you are looking for.
LEGO Shop@Home has been recently updated to now include another set in its Botanical Collection. Introduced early this year, the LEGO Creator Expert Botanical Collection offers an almost life-like brick rendition of some of the most beautiful flowers and fauna that LEGO designers ever came up with. And this summer, we can expect another entry in the series in the form of the LEGO Creator Expert Birds of Paradise (10289) set.

This is a welcomed surprise. Because this next wave of LEGO Creator 3-in-1 summer 2021 offers a nostalgic return to some of our most beloved LEGO themes of all times. Revealed by Netherlands-based toy store Brickshop.eu, take a look at these 5 upcoming sets that take inspiration from the LEGO Space and Castle themes.

Dutch online retailer Ottosimon updated their listing once again to now include the LEGO Ninjago summer 2021 range of sets that are scheduled to arrive in June. These sets follow the LEGO Ninjago 15th season storyline where the team’s next adventure sends them off on a journey in the depths of the sea, in search of answers for Nya’s mysterious powers.
Since February, it was rumored that these sets will be featuring an underwater adventure theme, complete with new aquatic creatures, and other mythical sea-dwelling beasts. These are all tied into the ninjas’ quest of answering the mysteries surrounding Nya’s uncontrollable powers.
Now that third-party retailers have been listing these sets already, then I guess it’s just a matter of time before they officially find their way over at LEGO Shop@Home. Needless to say, it’s a great year for LEGO Ninjago as well since the theme is celebrating its 10th anniversary, along with commemorative sets that include collectible golden minifigures.
I’ll be updating this post once LEGO Shop@Home lists these sets on its website. But in the meantime, let’s enjoy these images and other details.

It looks like LEGO is on a wildlife rescue with this year’s summer wave of LEGO City sets. Some of these sets have been revealed already by an Italian online retailer giving us a glimpse of what to expect from this series of LEGO City Animal Rescue summer 2021 sets.
These sets are slated to be released sometime in August and feature some pretty cool new animal figures and vehicles. The smaller sets offer some monkey figures, a male lion and cub, and a snake, while the larger ones feature new elephant figures and a crocodile. For all its worth, it’s a great way to build your LEGO animal collection. The last time I saw a similar array of exciting animal figures was with LEGO City’s Jungle sets from 2017.
Since the LEGO City Animal Rescue summer 2021 sets are now making their appearance online, we can also expect them to be listed over at LEGO’s home shopping portal in the next few weeks. Take note that this is a partial listing and more similar sets may be revealed soon. These images may not be the most ideal, but they’re substantial enough to provide us a closer look.

Dutch online store Van Der Meulen has posted two new LEGO Disney sets that are both quite interesting. Though listed as 4+ sets, I’m sure that most LEGO minifigure collectors will grab copies of these once they are made available this summer. These LEGO Disney Mickey and Friends sets feature an entirely new pair of Mickey and Minnie minifigs, plus some exciting characters as well.
These new LEGO Disney Mickey and Friends set also include Goofy and Pluto in their minifigure versions. If you recall, Goofy first arrive in LEGO minifig form when he was exclusively added in 2019’s D2C (direct-to-consumer) set, the app-powered LEGO Disney Train and Station (71044). The set was understandably pricey given that it is a functional train set. And if you missed out on that one, LEGO Disney minifigure collectors will certainly appreciate what LEGO did here by adding Goofy in a typical LEGO set. Additionally, the inclusion of an updated version of Pluto as a LEGO minifigure is long overdue, with the loyal sidekick first having a minifigure of his own more than 20 years ago in sets such as Mickey’s Car Garage (4166) and Mickey’s Mansion (4167). Though I must say that I prefer the previous, more classic version of Pluto than that of the upcoming one. The previous version seems to be more streamlined and closer to Pluto’s actual animated version. Additionally, Mickey and Minnie also look cute in their firefighter costumes.
LEGO Disney Mickey and Friends Fire Truck and Station (10776)
144 pieces | 49.99 Euro | Minifigures include Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy
And lastly, this next set brings the Disney couple into space with the LEGO Disney Mickey Mouse’s and Minnie Mouse’s Space Rocket (10774) set. Another 4+ set, this offering features a recolored version of their minifigure heads that resembles an astronaut’s headgear. Their torso also comes in new astronaut uniform prints, equipped with space exploring accessories.
LEGO Disney Mickey Mouse’s and Minnie Mouse’s Space Rocket (10774)
88 pieces | 19.99 Euro | Minifigures include Mickey and Minnie in their astronaut uniforms
UPDATE: This particular set is not yet listed over at Van Der Meulen, but was spotted by Brick Fanatics over at LEGO’s customer service portal for online building instructions. The listing seems to be taken down already, but with quick LEGO fans getting a snapshot of what it has to offer. Special thanks also to Stone Wars for the additional info.
Another 4+ set is also on its way that features both Donald Duck Mickey Mouse in one collectible building set. Other than these new minifig renditions, collectors will be happy to know that this set also offers our very first sheep figure which is more likely a single-brick version of the farm animal. The set also features a buildable tractor, farmhouse, fences, cart, and a collection of barn animals such as a horse, rabbit, and chicken.
In a similar vein, the girls are having their R&R time over at the beach, chilling out with their very own ice cream shop. The LEGO Disney Minnie Mouse’s Ice Cream Shop (10773) features new minifigure versions of Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse befitting of a summer getaway. The set also comes with a buildable converter, an ice cream shop, and a beach lounge chair with an umbrella.
Last on our list is a set that brings Mickey flying in the sky. The LEGO Disney Mickey Mouse’s Propeller Plane (10772) features a pilot version of Mickey Mouse complete with a new goggles minifigure head print, and an aviation jacket printed torso.

All in all, this next wave of LEGO Disney sets is sure to catch the eyes of the discerning LEGO minifigure collector despite its 4+ branding. These sets are not yet listed on LEGO’s home shopping portal but same as before, I’ll keep this post updated once more information comes in. Stay tuned!
It’s a long time coming, but it’s nice to see that Donald’s LEGO BrickHeadz version will finally have a partner that has been on the wishlist of LEGO BrickHeadz fans for almost a year. Thanks to a now-removed reference from the LEGO Customer Service portal, we can confirm that there are two LEGO BrickHeadz Disney 2021 sets that will be arriving this summer.
This particular reference came in the form of building instructions that were posted quite too early. And thanks to these building instructions, we can have a good look at what’s in store with these sets.
First off, we will be having a new LEGO BrickHeadz Daisy Duck (40476) set, expected to retail for 9.99 Euros. The set comes with two 1×4 printed tiles and a nice brick-built pink ribbon accessory. Needless to say, this particular set will go very well with the LEGO BrickHeadz Donald Duck (40377).
Next is what seems to be the second of its kind following the same set concept as that of the LEGO BrickHeadz Harry, Hermione, Ron, & Hagrid (40495) set. And from the Disney subtheme, we got a Duck Tales-inspired set in the form of the LEGO BrickHeadz Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey, & Louie (40477). The set features the entire gang, with the siblings following the same build identifiable only through their colored tiles.
We do not have further details about these LEGO BrickHeadz Disney 2021 sets such as their piece count and retail price except for the possibility that they will arrive in June 2021. I will update this post once official info comes out from LEGO Shop@Home. In the meantime, be sure to keep tabs with us here on our blog site for more LEGO-related news.
UPDATE: These LEGO Minecraft summer 2021 sets are now listed over at LEGO Shop@Home. I’ve updated the affiliate links below to point out to their respective product pages.
LEGO has plenty of new sets in store for this summer, and from the looks of it, there will also be a handful of LEGO Minecraft summer 2021 sets as well. Aside from giving the LEGO treatment to Minecraft Dungeons, these new sets follow the first wave of sets that LEGO released at the start of the year, as revealed by Dutch online toy store, Ottosimon.
Like other new sets, this collection of LEGO Minecraft summer 2021 sets also offers some new elements and characters. Noticeable here is the new trans clear headpiece for a Charged Creeper, plus an assortment of new Minecraft minifigures and accessories.
They are not yet listed over at LEGO Shop@Home, but we hope to see these upcoming sets anytime soon. In the meantime, check out these images.
