Every LEGO Star Wars Set Confirmed for This Year (So Far)

Star Wars continues to be one of LEGO’s most prolific lines, and that shows no sign of stopping throughout the rest of 2026.

Tom Nook and the Flying Present (#30731)

  • $4.99
  • 33 Pieces
  • March 2026

Small but surprisingly significant, this Animal Crossing polybag is one of the more notable releases of the year for franchise fans, particularly because Tom Nook has only ever appeared in a single LEGO set before (77050 Nook’s Cranny & Rosie’s House), making him one of the harder minifigures to track down. This $4.99 polybag changes that, featuring Nook alongside a small green base with flowers and a brick-built present dangling from a balloon, replicating the floating present mechanic Animal Crossing players will immediately recognize. It’s the easiest and most affordable way to add the series’ central character to your collection.

Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (#77093)

Get Yours Now!

  • $129.99
  • 1,003 Pieces
  • March 1, 2026

The Final Battle set definitely feels like the headliner of Nintendo’s 2026 LEGO wave, and it earns that status. The set recreates the climactic confrontation from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Ganon’s ruined castle. The build packs in a remarkable amount of detail and interactivity for its 1,003 pieces, including movable rubble, a push-button mechanism that dramatically raises Ganondorf from the ruins, and three hidden Recovery Hearts tucked into the scenery for those willing to explore.

The LEGO minifigure lineup alone makes the price more reasonable for Zelda fans: you get Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf in minifigure form, alongside a full brick-built big figure of Ganon and a stud version of Navi. Weapons and accessories round it out, including the Master Sword, the Megaton Hammer, the Hylian Shield, and two fabric capes for Ganondorf. It’s a genuinely stunning recreation of a moment that has stuck with players for over two decades, and it’s the kind of set that warrants a dedicated display shelf rather than a storage bin.

Luigi & Kart (#72050)

  • TBD Price
  • TBD Pieces
  • April 2026

Details are thin on this as yet unannounced set, but what we know points toward something exciting. Leaks suggest that Luigi & Kart is designed as a companion piece to 2025’s Mario & Standard Kart (#72037), which would make it part of what’s shaping up to be a collectible series of Mario Kart-inspired sets. Given how well-received the Mario Kart LEGO concept has been, a Luigi counterpart feels like an obvious and overdue addition. Pricing and piece count are still unconfirmed, but April 2026 appears to be the target window.

Ones to Watch — Unconfirmed Mario and Animal Crossing Sets

Two more rumored sets round out the Nintendo side of things, both still light on details. The untitled Mario set (#72051) has a rumored piece count of 1,367, which puts it in the same territory as 2025’s Prince Florian & Castle Bowser (#72042) — one of that year’s most substantial Mario releases. Meanwhile, an unconfirmed Animal Crossing set (#77059) has been spotted at $59.99 with a Summer 2026 window, positioning it as a mid-year follow-up to the Tom Nook polybag. What it actually depicts remains anyone’s guess, but at that price point it would sit comfortably alongside existing sets in the line.

Pokemon Is 2026’s Biggest Nintendo LEGO Story

If any single Nintendo franchise is dominating LEGO’s 2026 plans, it’s Pokémon, and it isn’t particularly close. The lineup already confirmed and rumored for this year is staggering in its scope, ranging from enormous collector pieces to budget-friendly play sets, and spanning everything from the original Kanto starters to more recent fan favorites. Here’s what’s either confirmed or strongly indicated so far.

Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise (#72153)

Get Yours Now!

  • $649.99
  • 6,838 Pieces
  • February 27, 2026

Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise (#72153) is one of the most ambitious LEGO sets Nintendo has ever been attached to, full stop. At 6,838 pieces and $649.99, this set brings all three Kanto starter final evolutions together in one epic package. Venusaur comes with movable vines and feet, Blastoise features an articulated head, arms, and water cannons, and Charizard’s wings, legs, arms, and head can all be posed.

Each figure can stand alone or be mounted together on a shared display stand representing beach, jungle, and volcano biomes, one for each Pokémon’s type. There’s also apparently a hidden Easter egg somewhere in the build, which should keep fans looking. Buying this set also unlocks a bonus: the 312-piece Kanto Region Badge Collection (#40892), which includes all eight Kanto gym badges (Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Rainbow, Soul, Marsh, Volcano, and Earth) housed in a Poke Ball-clasp display case.

Lego's 2026-DC set Releases

Every LEGO DC Set Confirmed for This Year (So Far)

The 20th anniversary of LEGO Batman is shaping up to be a big deal, and LEGO DC’s 2026 set lineup proves it with display sets and multiple batmobiles.

Pikachu and Poke Ball (#72152)

Get Yours Now!

  • $199.99
  • 2,050 Pieces
  • February 27, 2026

The other major collector piece releasing in late February, this Pikachu build looks detailed enough to satisfy even the most discerning fan of the franchise’s mascot. The posable yellow figure features black ear tips, red cheeks, and lightning sparks representing its Electric-type energy, and the “25” worked into the display base is a nod to Pikachu’s Pokedex number. The figure can be displayed in a dynamic battle stance, launching from an opened Poke Ball, or placed in a resting pose with the ball closed.

Eevee (#72151)

  • $59.99
  • 587 Pieces
  • February 27, 2026

A more accessible entry point into the 2026 LEGO Pokemon wave, the Eevee set rounds out February’s launches at a considerably friendlier price. Details beyond the piece count and price are limited, but Eevee’s popularity across the fanbase makes this one of the more anticipated smaller releases of the wave. At $59.99, it’s the kind of set that’s easy to pick up alongside one of the larger builds.

Mini Pokémon Center (#40911)

Get Yours Now!

  • 233 Pieces
  • February 27, 2026

As far as Pokemon sets go, this one is certainly a little different. The Mini Pokemon Center is available exclusively as a Pokemon Center Insiders reward for 2,500 points, making it a loyalty perk rather than a standard retail purchase. At 233 pieces, it’s a compact set, but the Pokemon Center as a location is iconic enough to make this a worthwhile target for anyone already engaged with that rewards program.

Summer 2026 and Beyond

Beyond these February releases, a significant wave of Pokemon LEGO sets appears to be targeting Summer 2026, including several with names already attached: Squirtle’s Training Buggy Adventure (#72156), Charmander’s Wild Encounter with Geodude (#72157), Pikachu’s Training House (#72164), Cubone vs Gengar’s Ghost Challenge (#72166), Jolteon vs Charizard (#72167), and a Scorbunny Evolution set. Further out, there are also rumors of an Eevee Evolution set, a Dojo House with Riolu, a Mewtwo Lab, a Stadium Bus, and even a Smart Play: Pikachu’s House at $69.99 — though details on all of these remain sparse.

Several sets with confirmed price points but no names yet also dot the calendar: a $69.99 set (#72150, 757 pieces), a $259.99 set (#72154, 2,339 pieces), a $99.99 set (#72160, 1,190 pieces), and a $129.99 set (#72168, 1,038 pieces). Given the scale of what’s already been confirmed, these anonymous entries could end up being some of the year’s most interesting surprises.

Nintendo and LEGO Continue to Pair Nicely

With a landmark Zelda set anchoring the early year, Mario Kart expansions on the horizon, and a Pokémon wave that dwarfs anything the collaboration has attempted before, 2026 is setting up to be a genuinely exceptional year for Nintendo fans in the hobby. More announcements are almost certainly still to come, and given how much ground there is still to cover across Nintendo’s vast roster of franchises, don’t be shocked if the year is far from surprising people.
