Sometimes the best furniture is the kind that makes you pause and smile before you even sit down. The Rubik’s Cube Chair is that rare breed: a stool that looks like it rolled straight out of a classic toy box and into the living room, daring you to play before you relax. With its oversized, candy-colored blocks and unmistakable grid, this chair is an instant icebreaker for any space.

At first glance, it is easy to mistake the chair for a giant version of the iconic puzzle, right down to the glossy pastel tiles and clean lines. But instead of just sitting pretty, this playful piece invites hands-on curiosity. There is no soft landing here, just a smooth, hard plastic surface that feels satisfyingly solid under your fingers. The four wooden legs, set out at a jaunty angle under each corner, give the cube a stable perch and a hint of mid-century charm.

Designer: coeonnnn

This is not a chair that gives in easily. Before you can claim your seat, you have to twist and turn the cube’s layers, just like the real puzzle. Every segment moves with a satisfying click, letting you scramble and align the colors until, at last, you unlock a configuration that feels just right for sitting. It is a test of patience as much as a test of comfort, and the reward is discovering that a little effort can turn a game into a resting spot.

The build is as much about craftsmanship as it is about whimsy. Each piece is precision cut, from the robust wood used for the legs to the durable plastic tiles that cover every face of the cube. The materials are chosen for both looks and longevity, ensuring that the chair can withstand all the twisting, spinning, and curious poking that guests are sure to try. The bright colors pop against their surroundings, turning the chair into a focal point even when it is not in use.

There is something clever about merging the mechanics of a puzzle with the practicality of furniture. The Rubik’s Cube Chair is not just a place to park yourself for a moment. It is a conversation starter, a brain teaser, and a little reminder that life is better when you take time to play. It demands a bit of thought before offering comfort, and that makes finally sitting down feel like a small victory.

For anyone with a soft spot for retro design or a love of hands-on fun, this chair is hard to resist. It is a seat that asks for a little engagement, a little creativity, and maybe just a touch of childlike wonder. With a room full of ordinary furniture, the Rubik’s Cube Chair promises a twist on tradition that is both fun and unforgettable.

I didn’t know how much I needed Kim Possible back until I scrolled on the internet to stumble across this build staring back at me in glorious LEGO form – cargo pants, sassy side-eye, Rufus casually perched on her shoulder. For anyone who raced home from school to catch Kim flipping through air ducts and dodging laser beams, seeing her back (albeit in LEGO) feels somewhat cathartic – like the world really needs her to fight all the supervillains destabilizing the earth right now.

Crafted meticulously from 1,165 LEGO bricks, this build by teljesnegyzet captures every bit of Kim’s swagger in a statue standing 21 inches tall. That fiery orange hair, constructed from carefully layered wedge plates, is practically a sculpture on its own. You can almost see it waving dramatically after a perfectly executed backflip. The attention to detail is peak LEGO nerd territory, down to the perfectly recreated cargo pants using sand green tiles layered sideways. Pure genius.

Designer: teljesnegyzet

Rufus, the tiny naked mole-rat sidekick, hasn’t been overlooked either. He’s neatly built from just about 40 bricks, perched on Kim’s shoulder, looking a bit skeptical, just as he should. Cleverly, his position is adjustable with a hidden Technic pin, giving collectors that extra bit of fun when deciding exactly how judgmental Rufus should look today.

What’s impressive here is how the build stays authentic without relying on printed details. Kim’s iconic black crop top and even the eyebrow arch are entirely brick-built, letting simple shapes and smart brick choices do all the work. It’s classic LEGO magic, turning basic geometry into instantly recognizable characters. No shortcuts, no stickers, just genuine creativity.

With just over 130 days to reach the 5,000 supporter milestone on LEGO Ideas (currently around 1,831 supporters and counting), this feels doable. The comments section is buzzing with fans rediscovering Kim, others impressed by the design itself, even those who had to Google “who’s Kim Possible” first. This blend of spot-on nostalgia and clever building technique is exactly the kind of project that LEGO Ideas thrives on.

Whether this hits the shelves officially or stays a stunning fan-made concept, it’s proof of how strongly early 2000s Disney Channel nostalgia resonates. And to be honest, with the current state of global affairs, I really could do with some positive affirmation… even if it stands at 21 inches tall and reminds me of a time when life was so much better. If you share the same belief, you can head down to the LEGO Ideas website to cast your vote for this fan-made build.

The LEGO Icons line celebrating pop culture, historical landmarks, and classic vehicles, brings the fun of piecing together intricate sets for adult builders and collectors. Fully functional LEGO Radio set, 1961 Chevrolet Corvette in gleaming red, and the cheeky How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless set being some of our favorites.

Now add the classic Shelby Cobra to that list, commemorating the iconic sports car’s 60^th anniversary in August this year. The iconic performance car is revered as one of the most priceless collector’s possessions and is held very highly in the automotive circles. The latest LEGO Icons set is perfect for those who can’t get their hands on the real thing but still want to celebrate the glory of the Shelby Cobra 427 S/C.

Designer: LEGO

The intricately detailed 1:10 scale model of the replica car consists of 1,241 pieces, mimicking the tiniest of details of the real thing. From the recognizable elongated hood to the open-top layout and side exhausts, the LEGO Shelby Cobra 427 S/C stays true to the iconic proportions of the original. It features a detailed engine bay with a buildable V8 engine, working steering, opening trunk and hood, and functional gear shift—making it as interactive as it is display-worthy. The build experience is designed to satisfy seasoned LEGO collectors and automotive enthusiasts alike, capturing the essence of the 1960s racing legacy in brick form.

Finished in a distinctive blue bodywork with white racing stripes, the model evokes the high-performance spirit of Carroll Shelby’s legendary roadster. The set even includes period-authentic decals and badges that pay homage to the original Shelby Cobra branding. The cockpit area has been carefully replicated, with accurate seating, dashboard instrumentation, and a gear lever designed for authenticity. In a clever nod to the lore surrounding the Shelby Cobra, LEGO has also included a brick-built “Shelby $100 bill” in the set—a playful reference to the tale that Carroll Shelby used to place a $100 bill on the dashboard and challenge passengers to grab it under full acceleration. It’s a detail that reinforces LEGO’s commitment to storytelling and honoring the legacy behind the build.

The model is part of the LEGO Icons series geared toward adult builders and collectors, and it comes with display-oriented elements that elevate its presence on any shelf. Measuring over 12 inches long and 5 inches wide when completed, the car stands out as a centerpiece of any LEGO or automotive collection. The Shelby Cobra 427 S/C LEGO set will be available to LEGO Insiders starting July 1, 2025, followed by a wider release on July 4. Priced at $79.99 USD, it offers a relatively accessible way to engage with a piece of American racing history through a tactile and rewarding building process. This tribute not only honors the car’s engineering significance but also introduces it to a new generation of fans through LEGO’s expressive medium.

The highly anticipated 3rd movie in the Dune trilogy by Denis Villeneuve is not coming out yet until late next year but there isn’t a lack of related property to tide you over. The recently released video game Dune Awakening has been making waves and of course you can go back and watch the other movies as well as the recently concluded TV series. But if you’re more into collecting IP-related toys, then this is something you might want to own (if you haven’t gotten it yet, that is.)

The LEGO® Icons Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter is an epic building set, a detailed replica of the House Atreides aircraft as seen in the first movie Dune: Part One. Here you can see it in its magnificent brick form and this meticulously crafted 1,369-piece set is designed for adult builders as it’s one of their more complicated builds. The premium-quality replica includes fold-out, flappable wings, deployable landing gear, and an opening cockpit.

Designer: LEGO

When fully extended, the ornithopter spans about 79 cm (31 inches) wide, 57 cm long, and 23 cm tall. This makes it one of LEGO’s grandest Icons builds. It has a dial-controlled feature that is able to retract landing gear and close the rear ramp. It also has an opening cockpit that can fit two seated figures. This build experience combines system bricks with Technic components, 583 pieces in particular. There are also 75 hybrid parts included as well as new titanium metallic/pearl dark gray minifig body prints (still‑suits), a unique 6×4 wedge angled Trans‑Black windscreen, and eight 40‑module propeller blades designed for realistic flapping.

There are also 8 of the more iconic characters from the novels and movies as minifigs. This includes Paul Atreides, Lady Jessica, Gurney Halleck, Chani, Leto Atreides, Liet Kynes, Duncan Idaho and Baron Harkonnen (sporting his long robe). Once you finish the build, you can display it in either flight or landing modes, whichever scene you’re aiming to recreate. The LEGO Builder app of course has a digital version of the instructions.

Some of those who have built this say that it’s one of the most challenging non-Technic LEGO Icons set but the technically demanding build is of course worth it in the end. It’s a mechanical masterpiece that captures the spirit and scale of Dune. It sets a new benchmark for LEGO’s integration of Technic functionality into Icons-scale builds. Its impressive roster of characters, intricate design, and satisfying interactive features make it a must-have for right‑brained builders with a love for science fiction.

May 2025 delivered a wave of creativity in the LEGO community, offering something special for builders of every interest. Across online forums and the LEGO Ideas platform, fans and designers have been busy crafting sets that highlight both nostalgia and innovation. May’s best creations go beyond simple brickwork, turning classic games, culinary delights, natural wonders, and even sports arenas into miniature masterpieces.

Each design portrayed the remarkable versatility of LEGO, inviting builders to explore new themes and techniques while celebrating the joy of hands-on creation. Whether you’re a lifelong collector or a casual fan, these builds capture the spirit of imagination that defines the LEGO experience. Here are five must-see LEGO sets from May 2025, each one promising a fresh and engaging challenge for anyone who loves to build.

1. LEGO Excitebike Playable Arcade

The LEGO Excitebike Playable Arcade captures nostalgia and innovation in a single, brick-built package. Conceived on the LEGO Ideas platform, this miniature arcade machine is more than a display piece. It invites hands-on play, faithfully translating the pixelated excitement of the original NES motocross game into something you can build, touch, and control. For LEGO fans who grew up with classic video games, this set brings a beloved digital world to life in a new and tactile form.

What makes the Excitebike Arcade essential for LEGO lovers is its interactive design. The arcade cabinet, entirely constructed from LEGO, features working controls that let you steer the bike, pop wheelies, and even catch air on a motorized scrolling track. This is not just a static model. It is an experience that encourages play and replay.

2. LEGO Terrarium Set

The LEGO Terrarium Set is a breath of fresh air for the Botanicals collection. This trio of bottle-shaped terrariums, designed to resemble corked jars, elegantly combines the artistry of nature with the joy of building. Each terrarium contains its miniature world, from a delicate orchid to a vibrant succulent, all rendered in intricate LEGO forms. The result is a decorative piece that doubles as a testament to creative brickwork and a love of natural design.

For LEGO aficionados, the Terrarium Set is more than just another display model. It is an exercise in subtlety and detail, where transparent elements minimize parting lines to showcase the lush interiors. The gold and jade bases lift the set beyond mere craft and into the realm of sophisticated home décor. These terrariums offer a calming, meditative building experience and an eye-catching result.

3. LEGO Sushi Boat

The LEGO Sushi Boat brings culinary artistry to the brick world with a build that is both whimsical and visually satisfying. Modeled after the iconic Japanese funamori platter, this set features a vibrant array of maki rolls, tamago, nigiri, and even a blocky ebi shrimp. The color blocking is meticulously executed, using lime green for wasabi, layered orange for salmon, and printed tiles for realistic fish cross-sections. For fans of LEGO and Japanese cuisine alike, this set is a delightful fusion.

What makes the Sushi Boat special is its attention to detail and playful interpretation. Every sushi piece is carefully designed, inviting you to appreciate the geometry and texture of each roll. The model’s layout mimics the theatrical presentation of real sushi boats, making it a conversation piece on any table or shelf. For LEGO builders who enjoy novelty and creativity, this set delivers a lighthearted yet technically impressive experience.

4. LEGO Minifigure Vending Machine

The LEGO Minifigure Vending Machine channels retro charm and interactive fun into a single, brick-built device. With over 1,300 pieces, this set lets you construct a working vending machine complete with sixteen colorful capsules. Each capsule contains bricks for assembling classic minifigures from nostalgic LEGO themes like Castle and Classic Space. The working mechanism delivers the tactile joy of twisting a knob and receiving a surprise, blending the thrill of collecting with the satisfaction of building.

The vending machine is a must-have for LEGO lovers, since it combines nostalgia, engineering, and display value. The set transforms a simple concept into something engaging and interactive. It becomes a centerpiece for gatherings, a playful nod to childhood memories, and a practical way to store and showcase minifigures. The satisfying click of the vending action, paired with the variety of minifigs, ensures this set will remain a favorite long after the build is complete.

5. LEGO Emirates Stadium

The LEGO Emirates Stadium is a love letter to Arsenal fans and architecture lovers alike. Crafted from nearly 5,000 standard LEGO pieces, this fan-made model does not just aim for scale accuracy—it seeks to capture the emotional and visual essence of the real stadium. The wraparound stands, curved roofline, and rhythmic patterns of plates and slopes pay homage to the unique horseshoe architecture experienced by fans on match day.

What makes this stadium build fascinating is its dedication to pure LEGO geometry. The builder achieves complex curves and angles without resorting to custom parts or shortcuts, demonstrating an impressive mastery of the brick. For LEGO collectors, football enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates ambitious design, this set is a rewarding challenge. It offers a deeply personal connection for Arsenal supporters and a showcase of what is possible with patience, skill, and a love for both sport and building.

There’s only one true and canonical answer to the question “Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?” Any kid who grew up between the years 1990 and 2010 remembers the iconic Nickelodeon show featuring a sponge named Bob, and his simple, starry friend named Patrick. You’d think life underwater would be boring, but Bikini Bottom was filled with fun, laughter, drama, and some great food courtesy The Krusty Krab. And now, courtesy of LEGO Ideas designer “lanko.”, the Krusty Krab rises from Bikini Bottom as a 2163-piece love letter to fans who’ve memorized every “I’m ready!” and “MY LEG!” ever uttered. It’s nostalgia made tangible, and honestly, it’s absurdly delightful.

This set doesn’t play coy with its source material. The weathered wooden facade, the ship-like windows, even the clamshell sign and the coral-toned dumpster out back – all recreated in unforgiving brick form. It’s not scaled down for simplicity either. With 1710 bricks dedicated to the restaurant alone, it has that rare architectural density you’d usually find in fan-favorite modular sets. I suddenly have a newfound respect for animators who put in this level of detail into my favorite cartoons.

Designer: lanko.

Pop the roof off and you’re met with the familiar layout: register station dead center, a line of red booths trailing the walls, and a bustling kitchen in the back that probably smells like sizzling perfection. Squidward mans the till, clarinet presumably within reach for his post-shift existential sighs. SpongeBob’s behind the grill, all square enthusiasm and spatula precision. Even Mr. Krabs’s office is here, tucked in the corner, with a wall safe hiding the Krabby Patty secret formula and an extra dash of greed.

The minifigures are a lineup pulled straight from an early-2000s Nickelodeon fever dream. SpongeBob, Patrick, Sandy, Squidward, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, Gary, and Fred (yes, that Fred) – all present, posed, and appropriately accessorized. Squidward’s got protest signs, Plankton comes with a robot companion, and Gary’s loafing with usual disdain.

What really elevates this build is its emotional IQ. You’re not just building a cartoon restaurant – you’re rebuilding a shared memory. This is where Squidward’s dreams go to die. Where SpongeBob’s optimism goes to thrive. Where Mr. Krabs hoards his riches, and Plankton plots his next inevitable failure. Every detail reinforces those dynamics. It’s a snapshot of character-driven chaos rendered in ABS plastic. Quite well too, might I add.

The entire scene is both detailed as well as interactive. There are way more characters now than in LEGO’s original Krusty Krab build (#3833), and there’s a lot more to work with. This means taking much more time to put the scene together, but once it’s ready, you can literally recreate entire episodes from the cartoon show. There’s a restaurant area, a kitchen, an attic, and Mr. Krab’s office with the save where he carefully stores the recipe for the Krabby Patty so that Plankton can’t get his hands on it.

“Alongside the Krusty Krab is the Patty Wagon (Mr. Krabs uses it for promotional reasons!), the clamshell sign and the dumpster with a heap of trash. Flying around the roof you might catch a jellyfish too,” says LEGO builder lanko.

At 2,868 supporters with 588 days left to hit 10,000 on LEGO Ideas, it’s inching towards its end-goal. And it deserves to get there. This fan-build is a bona fide piece of animated history, dissected and lovingly rebuilt by someone who gets it. Who REALLY gets it. Because anyone can make a burger joint, but it takes a true fan to build one where the food is imaginary, the customers are fish, and the vibe is permanently stuck in 2004.

You would think that two geeky things like LEGO and anime would be a match made in heaven. But apparently, the former has never dipped its bricks into the wide world of anime despite focusing lately on IP-based builds like Star Wars, Marvel, Minecraft, to name a few. Anime fans who also love to build LEGO sets had to resort to creating their own interpretation of some of the most popular animes like Naruto, Miyazaki films, K-On!, etc.

Well, finally, we get to see LEGO step into the world of Japanese animation with the release of not one, not two, but five new builds inspired by One Piece, a manga and anime series that got the live-action treatment from Netflix in 2023. With a second season coming in 2026 and the IP still extremely popular, it’s not a surprise that this is the first property that gets officially LEGO-fied. The five sets were created in collaboration with the creators of the Netflix series and also got the thumbs up of the manga creator himself, the elusive Eiichiro Oda.

Designer: LEGO

The LEGO design team went back and forth with the show’s designers and creatives and it took them two years to finally come up with five perfect sets that will definitely make One Piece fans (and LEGO fans) happy. They chose the most iconic sets that would appeal to both kids who have discovered the IP and for adults that have been following the adventures of the Straw Hats for years. Even Oda himself, who apparently has been asking for a LEGO toy for his creation for years, is excited about this live-action builds.

You’ll be able to bring the adventures of One Piece to life with your own hands through these magical sets. Build Luffy’s signature ship, “The Going Merry Pirate Ship,” or recreate the dramatic “Battle at Arlong Park.” For a challenging build, assemble the 3,402-piece “Baratie Floating Restaurant.” Other sets include the nostalgic “Windmill Village” and the colorful “Buggy the Clown’s Circus Tent,” home to one of Luffy’s early rivals. Of course we get the iconic characters in their minifigure versions, including Luffy himself, the ever popular Zoro and this three swords, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Zeff, Vice Admiral Garp, Helmeppo, Koby and Mihawk. There are also five “Wanted” posters to add to your collection.

This collaboration marks a significant moment for both LEGO and anime enthusiasts, finally bridging these two beloved worlds. The dedication of the LEGO design team, combined with the enthusiastic approval of Eiichiro Oda, promises a collection that will capture the hearts of One Piece fans and LEGO builders alike. With the initial wave of these five iconic sets and the continued popularity of the franchise, this could very well be the beginning of a beautiful friendship, paving the way for even more cherished anime series to get the LEGO treatment in the future. The Grand Line just got a whole lot brickier!

You know that feeling when a sushi boat arrives at your table, loaded with technicolor rolls like a floating parade of umami dreams? Now imagine that, but made entirely out of LEGO bricks. It shouldn’t work—but it absolutely does.

Spotted on LEGO Ideas, this brilliantly bizarre build is a brick-for-brick homage to the traditional Japanese “funamori” platter—those iconic wooden boats used to deliver sushi in theatrical fashion. The model, designed with a chef’s eye for detail and a builder’s obsession for geometry, swaps raw fish for ABS plastic, and the result is weirdly mouthwatering.

Designer: Luke Jenkinson (eat.sleep.build.repeat.)

At a glance, the layout hits all the notes: twelve assorted maki rolls, tamago sushi with a sleek black nori wrap, twin nigiri pieces, two generous scoops of ikura (salmon roe), and even a blocky ebi (shrimp) with exaggerated stripes that somehow look juicy. The color-blocking is dialed in perfectly—lime green bricks for wasabi-tinted rolls, layered orange for the salmon slabs, and even stylized printed tiles to emulate cross-sections of fish and avocado. You can almost hear the clack of chopsticks.

The set also includes a full buildable place setting: a dipping dish of soy sauce, modular chopsticks, and a trio of side garnishes—ginger, wasabi, and some sprigs of LEGO foliage standing in for shredded daikon or decorative leaves. There’s even a tiny sushi chef minifigure wielding a cleaver, with rolled sleeves and that classic black-and-white tenugui headband. He looks ready to defend his omakase at all costs.

The boat itself is a sleek, tan construction with a minimalist Japanese flag at the stern, and a mast at the center that’s more symbolic than functional—just like the ones you’d find on real sushi boats in upscale Tokyo eateries. Built on a blue LEGO base plate shaped like rippling water, it’s practically an art piece on its own.

According to the LEGO Ideas submission, the entire build clocks in at around 800–900 pieces. It’s modular, so every sushi piece is removable, meaning this doubles as both a display set and a tactile, rearrangeable play experience.

The term ‘Hypercar’ is truly complemented by the Aston Martin Valkyrie that lurks at the outer limits of road-legal realms. Initially debuting as a concept in 2016, the Valkyrie is one of the most powerful road-legal cars built in collaboration with Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey, who is a seasoned pro at the F1 paddock. Fusing automotive technology and luxury, the hypercar has a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine developed by Cosworth, paired with a hybrid system to produce a combined 1,160 horsepower. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 250 mph.

All those numbers are enough to ignite any motorhead’s lust for adrenaline-pumping action. The London-based ultra-luxury brand has the Valkyrie as one of its most prized possessions that you can own for $3.5 million upwards. For someone like me, who is humble in that regard, the next best thing is to own a scaled-down replica of the performance coupe. If it’s an official LEGO set designed by Aston Martin, then what could be better?

Designer: Aston Martin and LEGO Group

The LEGO Technic Aston Martin Valkyrie manages to emulate the real thing in most of its form with detailed precision. This intricate LEGO set comprises more than 700 pieces that come together to take the shape of the aerodynamic car in Podium Green livery. Keeping every little element true to the Valkyrie’s engineering is what makes this LEGO creation special, just like the LEGO Porsche GT4 E-Performance model and the G-Wagon. According to Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer of Aston Martin, “Our collaboration with LEGO Technic celebrates the impossible engineering and visionary thinking that brought Valkyrie to life. By integrating it into the Gameloft Asphalt Legends UNITE gaming platform, we’re not only immortalizing its legacy but also introducing this otherworldly machine to a new audience in a creative way.”

This LEGO model Valkyrie gets a detailed V12 engine with moving pistons and a working differential, which should delight purists. Also, there are functional gull-winged doors and a steering wheel controlled via the top-mounted lever in case you want to take it on a ride down the hallway. Alexandra Dragomir, Marketing Manager for LEGO Technic, says, “We’re thrilled to bring Aston Martin’s hypercar to life in brick form, as well as an in-game experience on Gameloft Asphalt Legends UNITE gaming platform.” For Asphalt fans, each purchased kit will bring the opportunity to unlock the virtual LEGO Valkyrie and the true-to-life Aston Martin in the video game. For proud owners of the hypercar, they can have fun behind the virtual wheel in racing sims.

It measures approximately 11 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height. This LEGO set will be available only in Podium Green color for $60 and will become the center of focus in your living room bookshelf or geeky desk setup. You can buy it from the official LEGO website from 1 August onwards. When the Valhalla set arrives is anybody’s guess, and that’ll be an even better dopamine hit for motorheads and passionate LEGO collectors.

Live action remakes of animated favorites can be a mixed bag. We’ve seen both duds (Snow White) and slight successes (Lilo & Stitch) from Disney this year, depending on how you look at it or feel about it. It will be Dreamwork’s turn this month as the much anticipated live action version of their hit animated series, How to Train Your Dragon, comes out. Most people are excited to see how the real heroes of the movie, the dragons, will turn out, even though there are also some early criticisms already about why do we need one anyway.

But if Toothless is your favorite character from the franchise, then you have something to look forward to next month. LEGO will be releasing the LEGO® Icons How to Train Your Dragon: Toothless (10375) model building project. You can build your own iconic Night Fury dragon with this 784-piece set that is meant more for grown ups rather than kids (although, of course, kids are also welcome to try building it). Once you finish the build, you can pose the head, jaw, wings, and tail and also choose between fish and plasma-blast attachments.

Designer: LEGO®

Inside the box, you’ll find everything you need to build Toothless, including articulated joints, a saddle and repaired tail fin, plus the aforementioned fish and plasma-blast accessories that you can attach to the mouth of the dragon. You get 3D building instructions with the LEGO® Builder app where you can also save your progress, save the set (and other sets you’re building), zoom in and rotate your finished model in 3D. The finished product stands over 6.5-inches tall so it’s not something that can easily get lost. Well, there’s always the risk of losing the parts so you have to make sure to secure them before you start your build.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise or simply love a good, intricate LEGO® build, the LEGO® Icons Toothless set offers a rewarding and nostalgic way to bring one of DreamWorks’ most beloved characters into your home. With its 784 pieces, detailed articulation, and customizable accessories, this build is a satisfying project for adult fans who appreciate both creativity and craftsmanship.

The attention to detail, from the saddle and tail fin to the fish and plasma blast options, makes Toothless come alive in a whole new way. Plus, with the digital building instructions and progress-saving feature in the LEGO® Builder app, the process is smoother and more interactive than ever. As excitement builds for the upcoming live-action remake, this set is the perfect way to reconnect with the magic of the original story and celebrate the dragon that stole everyone’s hearts—one brick at a time.
