New year, new… Lego? That’s how that saying goes, right? After a few quiet months to round out 2023, Lego is starting 2024 with a bang with tons of new sets. Marvel! Star Wars! Sonic! Jurassic Park! Bouquets and Polaroids! Truly, something for everyone.
Seriously, after the last few months delivered a few handfuls of sets here and there, 2024’s Lego floodgates are already well and truly opened. Almost every primary Lego line has a bunch of new sets releasing this month, including City, Creator, DREAMZzz, Icons, and of course licensed lines like Marvel, Star Wars, Minecraft, and more. And if you want to ring in the Year of the Dragon, specifically, Lego truly has you covered with a swath of seasonal special sets themed around the New Year celebrations… and then of course a bunch of Dragon-themed sets in Ninjago, to boot. Scroll down to see everything coming this month!

Lego Icons Bouquet of Roses
The world burns and withers, and flowers are just another part of nature’s cycle of flourishing and decaying. So why not celebrate a grim twist of fate by immortalizing them in plastic? ($100, available here)

It’s all fun and games when the cloned dinosaurs are cute little babies, but we’ve all seen what happens when they grow up in any Jurassic Park movie. ($50, available here)
Lego Jurassic World Dinosaur Fossils: T.rex Skull
The much more interesting of the Jurassic sets this month is inspired by similar lines for Marvel and Star Wars—a display piece that is a clever use of the license to do something that doesn’t necessarily need it, a buildable dinosaur skull. ($70, available here from January 19)
Lego Marvel X-Men X-Jet
The X-Men are truly back into the Marvel line ahead of X-Men ‘97 with this latest take on the Blackbird. Cyclops, Rogue, Magneto, and Wolverine all in one place? Almost makes the price tag a little easier to swallow. ($100, available here)
Lego Marvel Rocket and Baby Groot
The latest buildable figure from Lego Marvel takes on Rocket as he appears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, albeit with a Baby Groot minifigure who is suddenly way, way out of scale. He’s even hard to spot in the official pictures! ($90, available here).
Lego Spider-Man’s Mask
The newest addition to the Marvel “helmet” line is, well, more of a mask—and arguably the most iconic of all, recreating the classic Spidey mask. ($100, available here from January 19)
Other Lego Marvel Sets

Lego Monkie Kid Sets

Lego Sonic the Hedgehog Knuckles’ Guardian Mech
Lego loves to give a character a mech, regardless of whether or not it makes sense, but in the world of Sonic the Hedgehog and fighting Eggman, I guess it’s like fighting fire with fire. ($40, available here)
Lego Star Wars Clone Trooper and Battle Droid Battle Pack
The Clone Wars rage on in the latest Star Wars battle pack, which packs a bit more firepower for the Republic and Separatists alike in the form of speeder and buildable spider-droid for their respective factions. ($50, available here)
Lego Star Wars The Crimson Firehawk
Lego’s line of Kid-friendly (well, kid-friendlier) Star Wars sets gets a bit of an eye-watering price bump with this $US50 set inspired by the High-Republic-set Young Jedi Adventures, recreating the ship of the titular younglings’ best friend, Nash Durango. ($70, available here)
Lego Super Mario Sets
Sorry to Yoshi and Dorrie, because their expansion sets for the Lego Mario set of playable levels frankly pales in comparison to this: Bowser in a muscle car that is yet still not muscle-y enough for the King of all Koopas.
- Yoshi’s Egg-cellent Forest Expansion Set, $15
- Bowser’s Muscle Car Expansion Set, $50
- Dorrie’s Sunken Shipwreck Adventure Expansion Set, $90
