It's the biggest question facing all new students when they enter Hogwarts: Which house will I end up in? Your designation is determined by the Sorting Hat, a hat sewn 1,000 years ago by Godric Gryffindor and enchanted by the 4 founders of the school, possessing their knowledge on sorting students. The hat has appeared in several sets as a minifig headgear, but despite the enchanted object playing such a major role at Hogwarts only one set has fully focussed on the hat itself.

The T-6 Jedi shuttle first appeared in second season of "The Clone Wars" animated series in 2009. It's a more confidentilal starship than the N-1 Nabbo starfighter I reviewed in 2022, but, it's an old timer too, not a brand new white shuttle like in the "Clone wars" (it's not true it was already an old starship at this moment).

As well as being a LEGO fan, I am a bit of a musician; owning a violin, guitar, two ukuleles and an occarina. The one I have been playing most lately is my ukulele (chords are so much easier with only 4 strings!). My first ukulele is a small blue one which is now showing signs of a well loved life, with sun fading and chips on the paintwork. It holds such a special place in my heart, so when I saw LEGO was releasing a blue ukulele set I knew it would be on my buy list.

Batman: The Animated Series or BTAS was an animated show featuring DC's Batman, running from 1992 until 1995 with 85 episodes. I missed most of this show as a kid because we couldn't receive the right channel for it, but I had heard of it, simply because of the massive impact the show has. Later on, I binged the show after watching some Bat-May episodes.

LEGO Star Wars turns 25 this year, and as part of the celebrations LEGO is releasing the Starship Collection. As you can guess from the name, this is a series of iconic starships from all over the franshice. As of writing, only 3 sets are released, but I asume more will follow? And seeing the Tantive IV is the very first starship to ever apear on the big screen, I figured it would make sense to pick 75376-1 Tantive IV to take a closer look.

The RebrickMat is a large 90cm x 40cm deskpad sized rubber mat, with various design and reference data printed on the top. It's a great surface to use when building LEGO Sets/MOCs, or just to use as a fancy mouse pad. It is available now from our Rebrickable Merch Store.

I've said it before: I'm not really a bike (or even car) person. But after reviewing 42159-1 Yamaha MT-10 SP last year, I have started to like the Technic versions: they are compact builds with the Technic functions squeezed in a tight space, while the frame features parts in complex angles. Where the 42159-1 is made out of 1478 parts, today's bike is considerably smaller.

It's May, time to get ready for Summer (or Winter, depending on your location). Traditionally, this is a time when a large wave of new sets will be released, and we've put all known 2024 sets that will be released between June and August in a nice overview for you. We'll regularly update this list as more sets are announced. If you are missing a set, please let us know in the comments.

The release date for some sets can depend on location. As soon as a set is released anywhere in the world, it will be marked with a. Unreleased sets are marked.

What a year 2024 is turning out to be; we're being overloaded with Space sets from all directions. Friends, City, Creator, Technic, Creator and even Duplo have joined forces to revive my childhood memories. And now, the Collectible Minifigures theme joins in with 70146 Series 26, bringing us 12 Space-themed minifigs.

One more Space 2024 set, this time from a theme we don't usually pay much attention to. But who could resist the cutest solar system ever made!?

For those who aren't familiar Classic is the entry level theme for kids graduating from Duplo. They often contain a good variety of parts in an array of colors. The idea is to inspire creativity without relying too much upon instructions. The builds tend to be small and simple, but the set comes with more parts for you to build the provided inspiration models (with no build steps) or be creative yourself.
