Every LEGO 2026 Theme Confirmed & Cancelled: Full Breakdown!

What LEGO Themes Are Coming in 2026? Confirmed & Cancelled List Revealed

Okay, fellow brickheads, buckle up. We’ve got a ton of juicy info to break down on what LEGO has lined up (and possibly scrapped) for 2026. Whether you're hoarding minifigures or building custom castles, this is the list you've been waiting for.

We’re going alphabetically, so if you’re just here for one theme (cough Star Wars cough), feel free to jump to your spot. And hey, if your favorite theme isn’t here—don’t panic. It might just be flying under the radar (yet).

Core LEGO Themes

LEGO City

Confirmed: 21 sets + 1 polybag
City is coming out strong right from January. This lineup includes everything from emergency services to everyday life builds. With over 20 sets right off the bat, City remains one of LEGO's most packed and versatile themes. No signs of slowing down here.

Creator 3-in-1

Confirmed: 9 sets + 2 polybags
The ultimate value theme keeps on giving. Creator 3-in-1 is perfect for builders who love choice—each set offers multiple builds in one box. The continued support in 2026 shows that LEGO is still prioritizing creativity and versatility.

Friends

Confirmed: 17 sets + 2 polybags
Friends continues its evolution with a robust lineup. The characters are more diverse, the builds are bigger and more creative, and the stories have grown with their audience. This is a theme that keeps expanding its reach.

DUPLO

Confirmed: 8 sets + 1 polybag
DUPLO remains a staple for toddlers and preschoolers. The builds are chunky, safe, and colorful, making them perfect for early development. No surprises here—it’s staying strong in 2026.

IP-Based LEGO Themes

Star Wars

Confirmed: 10 sets + 1 polybag
Star Wars remains a flagship theme with two 18+ sets pointing toward more high-end builds. These are likely to follow the UCS or microscale format we’ve seen in recent years. Whether it's classic trilogy nostalgia or new-era content, there’s a good mix coming.

Harry Potter

Confirmed: 8 sets
What stands out is one 12+ and one 18+ set in the mix—something we haven’t really seen in previous waves. That suggests large-scale, collector-friendly builds, possibly tied to Hogwarts expansions or major magical locations.

Marvel / DC Super Heroes

Confirmed: 9 sets
It’s tricky to tell what’s what since both IPs share a numbering system, but here’s what we know: an 18+ set is in the lineup (likely a display piece), and three of the nine are 4+ Spidey sets aimed at younger builders. It’s shaping up to be a balanced mix of playsets and adult-focused builds.

Disney

Confirmed: 8 sets + 1 polybag
One set is rated 12+, which is unusual for Disney and hints at something more collector-oriented—possibly another micro castle or even an Encanto build like the Madrigal house. No confirmed tie-ins yet, but history says more will drop later in the year.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Confirmed: 2 sets
Two new Sonic sets are hitting shelves in January. No word on summer releases, but the early wave suggests that LEGO is still testing the waters with this theme. Hopefully it picks up speed mid-year.

Gabby's Dollhouse

Confirmed: 1 set
This one’s likely for the preschool crowd. Only one set is listed so far, which could mean a limited release year, or LEGO testing continued demand.

Fortnite

Confirmed: 4 sets + 1 Gift With Purchase
Still relatively new, LEGO Fortnite is delivering a small but solid wave. The GWP suggests a tie-in promotion, likely at launch. Whether this expands will depend heavily on reception, but it has big potential.

Fan-Favorite and Specialized Themes

Ninjago

Confirmed: 23 sets + 1 polybag
Ninjago continues to crush it with an absolutely massive lineup. Eleven of the sets are dropping in January, with the rest likely scattered through summer and fall. This theme has shown amazing staying power, and 2026 is no exception.

Minecraft

Confirmed: 16 sets
Eight sets are landing in January, and several are rated 10+ or 12+, which is very rare for Minecraft. That could mean more advanced builds or even tie-ins to the next Minecraft movie. Some fans are hoping for a large-scale Nether fortress or another D2C-style set.

Architecture

Confirmed: 4 sets
Architecture usually flies under the radar, but this is its biggest wave since 2019. If you're into real-world skylines and display pieces, this is a promising comeback.

BrickHeadz

Confirmed: 2 sets
Only two sets are currently listed for January. This theme often gets seasonal drops and limited-time characters, so expect to see more sprinkled throughout the year.

Icons

Confirmed: 1 Gift With Purchase
So far, only a GWP is confirmed, possibly linked to a modular or an anniversary promo. Icons is a theme that reveals more mid-year, so don’t be surprised if big sets show up around March or August.

Minifigures (Collectible Series)

Confirmed: 1 series + 1 six-pack bundle
One new collectible minifigure series and a six-pack box are launching in early 2026. LEGO tends to release 2-3 of these series per year, so more should follow.

Speed Champions

Confirmed: 6 sets
Speed Champions keeps the pedal down with six sets planned. Expect the usual mix of licensed cars, racing icons, and probably another surprise collab or two.

Newcomers in 2026

Pokémon

Confirmed: Initial sets coming in winter 2026
This is the big one. After years of wishful thinking, Pokémon LEGO is officially happening. We don’t have set numbers yet, but the first wave is expected early in the year. This could become a juggernaut if done right.

Legend of Zelda

Confirmed: 1 set (Set #77093, 18+)
Finally. Zelda enters the LEGO universe with a confirmed 18+ set. This is likely aimed at adult fans of the franchise, and could signal the start of a full theme depending on its success. A Master Sword build? Hyrule Castle? We'll find out soon.

Seasonal and Event-Based Themes

Seasonal

Confirmed: 5 sets
Includes two Chinese New Year builds, which have become annual highlights. Expect the other sets to focus on Valentine’s Day, Easter, and other holiday tie-ins. Great for collectors who love festive micro builds.

Missing or Possibly Cancelled Themes

DREAMZzz

Confirmed: 5 sets
The January wave includes five new sets—but that’s it. No summer sets are currently planned, which strongly suggests this theme is wrapping up. The concept was creative, but it may not have found a strong enough audience.

Monkie Kid

Confirmed: No sets listed
This one stings. Monkie Kid has been declining fast: only two sets in 2025, and now zero listed for 2026. It’s possible the theme is ending, though LEGO hasn’t confirmed anything officially. Fans of this mythology-heavy line might want to pick up remaining sets while they can.

-

LEGO 2026 is shaping up to be a year of big returns and bold new beginnings. We’re seeing a push toward more collector-focused sets with higher age ranges, the arrival of long-awaited franchises like Pokémon and Zelda, and the continuation of fan-favorites like Ninjago, Star Wars, and Minecraft.

But it’s also a year where some themes may quietly fade away. DREAMZzz and Monkie Kid, in particular, might not make it much further unless LEGO pulls a surprise.

Whether you’re into sleek Technic builds or cutesy BrickHeadz, 2026 looks like a year that’s going to keep our shelves (and wallets) full.
