From cinematic epics to nostalgic builds and display-worthy décor, LEGO’s latest releases are hitting all the right notes this spring.
Whether you’re geeking out over Star Wars Day (May 4), prepping for Wednesday Season 2, or just want to gift something unexpectedly cool this Mother’s Day, we’ve rounded up the builds that deliver both fun and serious flex appeal. Bonus: a few of these are shelf-worthy stunners you’ll actually want to leave out.
Here are our editor’s top LEGO picks to build, display, and obsess over this season.
Jango Fett Helmet
Star Wars Day may have passed, but the Jango Fett Helmet is still giving “subtle bounty hunter energy” in the best way possible. This display piece is a must for any Mandalorian loyalist—or just fans of Attack of the Clones who know Jango never got his due. The build isn’t too overwhelming (a win for weekend warriors), and the final product? Clean. Modern. Total power move for your bookshelf or workspace.
The Lord of the Rings: The Shire
Step into Middle-earth with one of LEGO’s most detailed and display-worthy builds to date. This 2,000+ piece set is an ode to Hobbiton—complete with round doors, flowering gardens, and every cozy detail you’d expect from Bag End. Whether you’re a Tolkien purist or someone who just loves slow, meditative builds, this one’s a masterpiece. Settle in with a cup of tea, maybe some Enya in the background, and lose yourself in the Shire. Trust us—it’s a vibe.
Wednesday & Enid’s Dorm Room
With Wednesday Season 2 landing on Netflix August 6, there’s no better time to lean into the aesthetic. This small-but-mighty set captures the quirky-cute clash of Enid and Wednesday’s split dorm. Think half pastel, half goth—plus little details like stained glass, a cello, and even a secret scroll. It’s fun, fast to build, and full of that spooky-but-playful energy fans of the series can’t get enough of.
Wildflower Bouquet
Florals? For Mother’s Day? Actually groundbreaking—when they’re made of LEGO. The Wildflower Bouquet is part of the brand’s Botanical Collection, and it’s perfect for moms (or plant lovers) who appreciate a thoughtful twist on a classic gift. No watering, no wilting—just modern, minimalist blooms that look surprisingly high-design in a vase. Bonus: it’s a therapeutic build that can easily double as a shared weekend project.
Minecraft Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring
For the gamers—or the kids who are the gamers—this one’s a win. Featuring fan-favorite mobs, enchanted weapons, and a secret loot chest, the Woodland Mansion Fighting Ring brings the thrill of Minecraft’s wildest biome into the real world. It’s got action, it’s got buildable drama, and it’s not just for kids. Let’s just say this is one of those sets you’ll be “helping” with… and suddenly an hour has gone by.
Retro Radio
No soundtrack, no batteries—just pure retro charm. The LEGO Retro Radio might be one of the most unexpected drops this season, but it’s quickly become a favorite among collectors. Designed to mimic a mid-century tabletop radio, it’s all smooth curves and faux dials with a playful color palette. It doesn’t play music, but it’ll definitely start conversations. The definition of cool without trying too hard.
Whether you’re building for nostalgia, gifting for someone special, or just carving out a little calm in your week, LEGO’s spring lineup has a set for it. The only question is… which one’s going on your shelf first?
