More than half of 2026 has already passed. From the spectacular The Lord of the Rings: Minas Tirith at the beginning of the year to the Koenigsegg supercar released in June, LEGO has already given collectors plenty of reasons to open their wallets.
But the second half of the year is shaping up to be just as exciting. Some upcoming sets have already been officially revealed, while others remain firmly in the rumor mill.
Here are 10 LEGO releases and rumors that we're most excited to see before the end of 2026.
01 / SHREK
Shrek Collectible Minifigures
The first wave of LEGO × Universal Shrek sets officially launched on June 1, including 72423 Shrek, Donkey & Puss in Boots, along with several BrickHeadz™ characters.
However, the set many fans are waiting for is the rumored 71053 Shrek Collectible Minifigures, expected to arrive on September 1.
The rumored lineup is impressively comprehensive, featuring Shrek, Fiona, Puss in Boots, Donkey, Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother, Big Bad Wolf, Pinocchio, Lord Farquaad, Gingerbread Man, and more.
LEGO has already hinted that "this is just the beginning," suggesting that the Shrek theme may continue to expand in the years ahead.
02 / STAR TREK
Original Series Enterprise Bridge
Following last year's release of 10356 Star Trek: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, LEGO doesn't appear ready to leave the Star Trek universe behind.
According to current rumors, 11385 Star Trek: The Original Series Bridge will recreate the iconic command bridge of the legendary USS Enterprise NCC-1701.
The set is expected to include 1,701 pieces, 8 minifigures, and retail for approximately US$199.99–239.99, with a rumored release date of September 1.
03 / BATMOBILE
Batman Returns Batmobile
LEGO has already released three Batmobiles in 2026—but a fourth may still be on the way.
Rumored set 76355 Batman Returns Batmobile recreates the unforgettable vehicle from Tim Burton's 1992 film Batman Returns.
With 2,272 pieces and a rumored price of US$219.99, the model appears to be positioned closer to the highly acclaimed 76139 1989 Batmobile than to this year's smaller Speed Champions-style Batmobiles.
The expected release date is September 1.
04 / SAGRADA FAMÍLIA
The Largest LEGO Set Ever Made
Unlike many entries on this list, this one is already official.
21065 Sagrada Família features an astonishing 12,060 pieces, making it the largest LEGO set ever released by piece count.
The completed model measures approximately:
- 62 cm high
- 47 cm wide
- 39 cm deep
05 / DRAGON BALL Shenron
Rumors surrounding LEGO's first-ever collaboration with Dragon Ball have been circulating for several months.
According to multiple sources, 11390 Shenron is expected to launch in November.
The set is rumored to contain approximately 1,760 pieces with a retail price of around US$199.99.
It is also said to include Kid Goku, the Seven Dragon Balls, and the Flying Nimbus.
If these reports prove accurate, this could mark not only LEGO's first Dragon Ball set but also the beginning of a full Dragon Ball theme expected in 2027.
06 / THE X-FILES
The Truth Is Out There
More than a year has passed since Brent Waller's winning LEGO Ideas submission, The X-Files: The Truth Is Out There, was selected.
According to current rumors, the official set will become 21369, featuring 1,478 pieces with a retail price of US$199.99.
The rumored launch date is August 1, making this the first official LEGO set based on the iconic sci-fi television series.
07 / MINISTRY OF MAGIC
Harry Potter's Annual Flagship Set
Every year on September 1, LEGO Harry Potter introduces a major direct-to-consumer (D2C) release.
This year's rumored flagship is 76476 Ministry of Magic, consisting of 3,491 pieces.
Very little is currently known about the design or minifigure lineup.
However, based on the piece count alone, it is expected to become one of the largest Harry Potter sets LEGO has ever produced.
08 / PLAYSTATION
PlayStation 1 Console
After recreating the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Sega Genesis, LEGO appears ready to continue its lineup of iconic gaming consoles.
Rumored set 72306 PlayStation 1 faithfully recreates Sony's legendary first-generation console.
The model is expected to include 1,911 pieces, retail for US$159.99, and release sometime between October and December.
A brick-built PlayStation controller is also rumored to be included.
09 / GODZILLA
The Largest LEGO Ideas Set Yet
Multiple sources suggest that 21375 Godzilla will launch on November 27, coinciding with Black Friday.
With an incredible 5,360 pieces, it would become the largest LEGO Ideas set ever released by piece count.
Pricing has not yet been announced.
10 / THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
The Second Zelda Set
Earlier this year, 77093 Ocarina of Time: Final Battle with Ganon marked the beginning of LEGO's The Legend of Zelda theme.
Rumors now point to a second set, 77094, arriving sometime before the end of 2026.
At this stage, no details regarding the subject matter, piece count, or pricing have been confirmed.
Editor's Note
The sets on this list range from officially announced products to rumors that are still awaiting confirmation.
While releases such as Sagrada Família and the Shrek Collectible Minifigures are already confirmed, projects like Dragon Ball, Godzilla, and the PlayStation 1 remain speculative until LEGO makes an official announcement.
Even so, the second half of 2026 is shaping up to be packed with exciting releases for LEGO fans and collectors alike.
Which of these sets will become reality—and which will remain just rumors?
Only time will tell.
