LEGO Architecture 2023 reviews

This year's one and only LEGO Architecture set journeys to Japan for a historic fortress in 21060 Himeji Castle, recreating both the structure and its surrounding gardens for a beautiful, fascinating and unique build.

LEGO Art 2023 reviews

If you’re serious about LEGO, and want some serious LEGO, 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave should be near the top of your shopping list. But that's not the only LEGO Art set making waves this year: two more very different models will arrive on shelves in August, including one that's proving pretty polarising.

LEGO Avatar 2023 reviews

If you’ve seen Avatar: The Way of Water and are eyeing up its corresponding LEGO sets, you can get a taste of what to expect – and an idea of which sets to prioritise first – through our reviews.

LEGO BrickHeadz 2023 reviews

The LEGO BrickHeadz collection is still chugging away, with a handful of new characters appearing on shelves at regular intervals. The latest duo to join the statuette party hail from SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures 2023 reviews

2023's first series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures offered an eclectic collection of 12 different original characters, signalling a return to form for the theme in 71037 Series 24.

LEGO City 2023 reviews

Like Friends and – to a degree – NINJAGO, LEGO City has a new coat of paint for 2023. Among its fresh concepts for this year are a ski slope, a family home and its biggest set to date in 60380 Downtown.

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 2023 reviews

LEGO Creator 3-in-1 has been knocking it out of the park with its animals in recent years, and 31136 Exotic Parrot is a worthy successor to last year's 31129 Majestic Tiger. Keep an eye out for the pink version coming in August, but for now, we've put the original blue bird together...

LEGO DC / LEGO Batman 2023 reviews

LEGO DC is back! Or rather, LEGO Batman is back. Either way, 76252 Batcave – Shadow Box is the biggest Dark Knight set to date, while you can also pick up an action figure of the Caped Crusader in the UK and Europe (no word yet on its US release date). Our reviews of both are below.

LEGO Disney 2023 reviews

This year marks Disney's 100th anniversary, and the LEGO Group is going big on all things House of Mouse to celebrate. Maybe the most interesting sets so far are 43227 Villain Icons, a collection of meta and in-universe objects hooked around the bad guys (for a change), and 43230 Walt Disney Tribute Camera, which includes the first-ever Walt Disney minifigure.

LEGO DREAMZzz 2023 reviews

The LEGO Group's newest big bang theme is anchored around creativity, mashing together multiple concepts within single models in LEGO DREAMZzz. But is the first wave the stuff of nightmares, or what LEGO dreams are made of? Check out our reviews to find out.

LEGO exclusives 2023 reviews

The LEGO Group continues to find reasons for us to shop through official channels with some tantalising exclusives, including this pair that launched in early June. 40650 Land Rover Classic Defender is genuinely up there with the best sets of the year (for the price).

LEGO Friends 2023 reviews

The LEGO Group has rebooted its Friends theme for 2023, and the long-running line-up is worth paying attention to more than ever. 41757 Botanical Garden in particular feels like the theme pushing beyond its usual boundaries, delivering a set that would work just as well in a LEGO city with zero modifications.

LEGO Harry Potter 2023 reviews

This year's LEGO Harry Potter D2C finally delivers the Gringotts set we've all been asking for since 75978 Diagon Alley hit shelves in 2020 – but does it live up to expectations? Or will it be overshadowed by the unexpectedly impressive 76419 Hogwarts Castle and Grounds?

LEGO Icons 2023 reviews

Between 10320 Eldorado Fortress and 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade, the LEGO Group has a full-blown case of '80s fever in its Icons theme this year. Meanwhile, 10316 The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell has resurrected another long-dormant theme from the dead.

LEGO Ideas 2023 reviews

LEGO Ideas is continuing to explore new territory in 2023, and may have just delivered one of the sleeper hits of the year in 21341 Disney Hocus Pocus: The Sanderson Sisters' Cottage. Don't believe us? Check out the review below...

LEGO Indiana Jones 2023 reviews

Indy's back with a bang in 2023, though Dial of Destiny sets remain conspicuously absent. For now, dig into three sets based on Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade with our reviews below.

LEGO Jurassic Park 2023 reviews

The LEGO Group is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's original Jurassic Park movie with five sets inspired by the 1993 blockbuster. We've gone hands-on with all the new dinos, Laura Dern minifigures and one big pile of poop.

LEGO Marvel 2023 reviews

LEGO Marvel is off to a relatively strong start in 2023, with highlights including 76247 The Hulkbuster: The Battle of Wakanda and 76248 The Avengers Quinjet. Plus: the first-ever Morbius minifigure. It's morbin' time.

LEGO Monkie Kid 2023 reviews

Monkie Kid continues to smash it out of the park when it comes to design, if not availability – you can really only buy these from LEGO.com in the west – and 2023's sets continue that streak impeccably. All our reviews are listed below, but we’ll save you some time: check out 80044 Monkie Kid’s Team Hideout first…

LEGO NINJAGO 2023 reviews

LEGO NINJAGO has undergone a soft reboot for summer 2023, headlined by the immense 71799 NINJAGO City Markets. We've reviewed the entire summer wave, which consists of mechs, dragons, bikes, temples and more.

LEGO Promotional 2023 reviews

The LEGO Group has been going big on its gifts-with-purchase in 2023, with plenty of cool sets up for grabs when shopping online and in-store. We've reviewed a handful of those already, including two that revisit retro themes...

LEGO Seasonal 2023 reviews

This year's LEGO Seasonal range kicked off with a budget-friendly way to celebrate the Lunar New Year, while 40639 Bird's Nest offers a colourful set of feathered friends to tie (however loosely) into Easter. As we approach Xmas, keep an eye out for 40640 Nutcracker...

LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog 2023 reviews

The blue blur is graduating from 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone to his own fully-fledged theme in August, this time anchored around play rather than display. But does its launcher gimmick hold up in the real world? Find out below.

LEGO Speed Champions 2023 reviews

LEGO Speed Champions has left the starting grid in style in 2023, with another movie-inspired car and a mix of modern and retro supercars. Highlights include 76918 McLaren Solus GT & McLaren F1 LM and 76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34), but really, you're going to want them all...

LEGO Star Wars 2023 reviews

LEGO Star Wars is enjoying a pretty strong year, with plenty of long-requested sets arriving on shelves. Those include the first TIE Bomber in two decades, the very first Clone Wars characters in the LEGO Star Wars Helmet Collection, and even a new TIE Interceptor. Plus, another UCS X-wing. Check out our reviews below.

LEGO Technic 2023 reviews

Four LEGO Technic sets arrived on shelves on March 1, including this year's first LEGO DC model – and a very impressive new Ford GT. A mid-sized Peugeot supercar followed in May, while August will bring us the theme's most expensive set to date, a very cool motorbike and a more affordable Lambo.
