Every LEGO Set Releasing in April 2025 – Full List & What to Buy

Every LEGO Set Releasing in April 2025: Full Breakdown & What to Watch

April 2025 might not be the biggest month for LEGO releases, but it’s definitely one of the boldest. We’re getting castles, steamboats, battle trucks, and a potential Lord of the Rings holy grail—yeah, you heard that right. Whether you're a hardcore builder, Disney enthusiast, or just trying to stretch your LEGO budget wisely, this month’s releases offer some surprisingly solid options (and a few massive builds worth drooling over).

Here’s a breakdown of every confirmed LEGO set dropping this April, plus one wildcard we know is on the way… we just don’t know exactly when.

🔥 Confirmed LEGO Sets Releasing April 1, 2025

🏰 1. Beauty and the Beast Castle (43263)

• Piece Count: 2,916
• Price: ~$219.99 (TBC)
• A towering tribute to one of Disney’s most iconic love stories. It’s not quite as large as Cinderella’s castle, but it holds its own with some impressive architecture, minifigs, and display value. If you’re a Disney fan, this one's hard to pass up—especially if you’ve been waiting for a companion set to your existing collection.

🧳 2. Yellow Travel Suitcase (40817)

• Piece Count: 184
• Price: ~$12.99
• This cute little set is more of a novelty, scaled perfectly for the giant brick-built minifigures LEGO’s been releasing. Great for display, or if your LEGO pirate, racer, or astronaut needs to go on holiday. Not essential, but fun.

🚢 3. River Steamboat (21356 - LEGO Ideas)

• Piece Count: 4,000+
• Price: $329.99
• Arguably the star of April, this beast of a build has all the charm of a 19th-century marvel with mechanical paddle movement, detailed decks, and even a mini museum of steam power inside. It’s niche, sure—but if you're into history, steamboats, or just love a complex LEGO build, it's a masterpiece.

💥 4. Hulk Truck vs. Thanos (76312)

• Price: ~$34.99
• Because apparently, someone decided to give Hulk a monster truck, and honestly? We’re not mad. It's chaotic fun for Marvel fans, but not a must-buy unless you're collecting every Avenger on wheels.

🧪 5. Iron Man’s Laboratory Hall of Armor (76315)

• Price: ~$54.99
• Another Marvel set revisiting Tony Stark's famous workspace. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, and the mech suit is a little underwhelming, but you get some solid minifigs like Iron Patriot and Killian. Slightly overpriced, though.

🎁 6. LEGO GWP Rumors (Gift With Purchase)

• LEGO has a habit of dropping surprise gift-with-purchase sets around major release windows. No confirmation just yet, but April could see something to sweeten your big set buys. Keep your eyes peeled.

🃏 Wild Card Set: The Shire (10354 - Lord of the Rings)

• Release Date: TBC (but confirmed in LEGO Leicester Square by April 5)
• Price: Unknown (Speculation: $229–$279 range)
• Piece Count: Estimated 2,500–3,000+If you're even a casual Lord of the Rings fan, this is the one to watch. Centered around Bilbo’s birthday party and Bag End, this display-worthy set brings the peaceful rolling hills of the Shire to life in beautiful detail. There are extra vignettes included beyond Bag End, and a deep roster of minifigs—likely including Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, and maybe even Gandalf.

There’s already a signing event happening April 5th in London with the designer, so while it’s not officially “released,” this one is definitely on the way very soon.

🧱 Quick Notes on Pricing & Tariffs

Some sets this month have minor price discrepancies between the US, UK, and EU. Hulk’s truck, for example, is slightly more expensive in the US. This could be due to new tariffs being introduced that are shaking up global prices—something to keep in mind if you're planning big purchases this year.

🏁 The April Lineup Summary:

• For Display Lovers: River Steamboat, The Shire, Beauty and the Beast Castle
• For Marvel Fans: Hulk Truck vs. Thanos, Iron Man Hall of Armor
• For Fun & Quirky: Yellow Travel Suitcase
• For Speculators: Watch for GWP or surprise drops around mid-month

Whether you're building for beauty or battling villains, April 2025 has some awesome LEGO to offer. That said, none of these sets are going anywhere fast, so if you're not rushing out on Day One, waiting for double VIP points or sales is a totally valid move.
