From nostalgic Nintendo favourites to Gotham City’s most notorious villains and one seriously impressive monster, these LEGO sets are giving fans plenty of reasons to get building.
LEGO has come a long way from the colourful bricks scattered across childhood bedroom floors. Today, the iconic building brand is just as likely to appeal to a lifelong Batman enthusiast, a Ferrari collector or someone looking to recreate a piece of gaming history, with increasingly intricate sets that blur the lines between toys, design and collectibles.
And while nostalgia remains a powerful part of LEGO’s appeal, there’s something equally satisfying about seeing familiar worlds brought to life one brick at a time. Whether it’s a meticulously detailed replica destined for the display shelf or an action-packed creation made for imaginative play, the latest LEGO sets offer something for just about every kind of fan.
From a retro Nintendo classic to the newly unveiled King of the Monsters, here are five standout LEGO sets worth discovering in 2026.
LEGO Game Boy (72046)
421 pieces | $79.99 CAD
Few gaming devices inspire quite the same nostalgia as Nintendo’s original Game Boy, and LEGO has recreated the beloved handheld console in impressive detail.
The 421-piece set captures the unmistakable design of the original, right down to its familiar directional pad, A and B buttons, volume dial and cartridge slot. Built at nearly a 1:1 scale, the replica also includes interchangeable Game Paks inspired by Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, complete with corresponding lenticular screens that recreate the look of the original games.
Although you won’t actually be playing Tetris on this one, the finished model makes a surprisingly convincing display piece, particularly for anyone who remembers the days of carrying a Game Boy everywhere. It’s a clever tribute to a defining era of handheld gaming, offering a little nostalgia without having to dig out a box of old electronics.
LEGO DC Batman Arkham Asylum (76300)
2,953 pieces | $379.99 CAD
Gotham City’s most infamous institution receives the LEGO treatment with an elaborate recreation of Arkham Asylum, bringing together some of the DC universe’s most recognizable heroes and villains under one very chaotic roof.
Designed with adult collectors in mind, the 2,953-piece model features a modular construction that separates into three sections, revealing detailed interiors, opening prison cells and plenty of references to Batman lore. Its impressive roster of 16 minifigures includes Batman, Robin, Batwoman, The Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, The Riddler, Bane and several other familiar faces.
Beyond its striking exterior, the set offers a surprising amount of storytelling potential, with a prisoner transport vehicle, movable features and countless opportunities to stage an elaborate Gotham breakout.
There’s even a seasonal twist: the build is divided into 24 bags, allowing fans to assemble it over 24 days as an unconventional Batman Advent calendar. For collectors who appreciate the darker side of the DC universe, Arkham Asylum is an ambitious addition to the LEGO lineup.
LEGO Technic Ferrari FXX K (42212)
897 pieces | $79.99 CAD
Ferrari’s unmistakable red finish and racing-inspired engineering take centre stage in this LEGO Technic recreation of the FXX K, a machine that represents the Italian automaker’s relentless pursuit of performance.
The 897-piece set goes beyond simply capturing the supercar’s aggressive silhouette, incorporating mechanical details that give builders a closer look at the engineering behind the design. Opening butterfly doors, a functioning differential and a V12 engine with moving pistons bring an added dimension to the experience, while the opening hood and engine cover reveal some of the model’s most interesting features.
It’s an appealing option for automotive enthusiasts who appreciate the finer details of performance machinery, without the considerable investment required for some of LEGO’s larger collector models.
Once completed, the Ferrari FXX K makes an eye-catching addition to a desk or display shelf, bringing a little Maranello flair to the room.

LEGO NINJAGO Wyldfyre’s Transforming Dragon Mech (71868)
821 pieces | $129.99 CAD
For builders who prefer their creations with a little more action, LEGO NINJAGO’s Wyldfyre’s Transforming Dragon Mech delivers an imaginative combination of fantasy, engineering and larger-than-life battles.
Inspired by Season 4 of NINJAGO: Dragons Rising, the 821-piece set features a formidable four-legged dragon that can transform into a towering, sword-wielding mech without having to be taken apart and rebuilt.
The action doesn’t end there. Also included is Empress Beatrix’s battle-ready mech, complete with articulated features and an opening cockpit, alongside six minifigures featuring heroes Wyldfyre, Arin and Sora and their enemies.
With its bold design and clever transformation mechanism, this is a set that puts playability front and centre. While younger NINJAGO fans will undoubtedly enjoy recreating their favourite battles, the mechanical transformation also offers something interesting for builders who appreciate LEGO’s more inventive designs.

LEGO Ideas Godzilla (21375)
5,363 pieces | $629.99 CAD | Launching November 27, 2026
The King of the Monsters is officially getting the LEGO treatment, and this one is anything but small.
Newly unveiled for November 2026, the LEGO Ideas Godzilla set brings the legendary cinematic creature to life through an enormous 5,363-piece build, making it the largest LEGO Ideas set released to date.
Standing over 27.5 inches tall, the finished model recreates Godzilla’s imposing silhouette with intricate scales, jagged dorsal fins and an enormous articulated tail. Movable arms, wrists, fingers and head allow collectors to position the monster in dramatic poses, while an interchangeable Heat Ray accessory recreates one of Godzilla’s most recognizable attacks.
The design originated as a fan submission through the LEGO Ideas programme, making its eventual release an especially exciting moment for enthusiasts who have long wanted a substantial brick-built version of the iconic monster.
With its remarkable size and meticulous detailing, this is clearly a display piece designed to command attention. It’s also a serious building commitment, with thousands of pieces standing between collectors and their very own King of the Monsters.
Arriving November 27, the set is shaping up to be one of LEGO’s most ambitious pop-culture releases of the year.
From the nostalgic simplicity of a Nintendo Game Boy to the sheer spectacle of Godzilla, these sets demonstrate how LEGO continues to find new ways to connect with fans across generations. Some are built for the thrill of putting everything together, others for the satisfaction of displaying the finished creation, but each offers its own take on a familiar favourite.
And really, finding an excuse to spend a few hours building something you love never gets old.
