©2025 LEGO Group

December commences tomorrow, so our popular and highly anticipated annual Advent Countdown is returning!

There are six calendars again this year, so our articles about their contents will be spread throughout the day, starting fairly late in the morning to give those of you in the UK and east of the Greenwich meridian plenty of time to build yours before we publish our articles. The timing will be as follows, although we may move them to fit around news or reviews if needed.

  • 11:00 GMT - Disney (MeganL)
  • 12:00 - Friends (MeganL)
  • 13:00 - City (CapnRex101)
  • 14:00 - Minecraft (TheBrickPal)
  • 15:00 - Harry Potter (CapnRex101)
  • 16:00 - Star Wars (CapnRex101)

The articles will be spoiler-free as they appear on the homepage, so you can safely visit Brickset before opening your own calendars. Alternatively, if you're a member and are logged in, you can change your news article preferences if you would rather not see our Advent Countdowns at all.

As always, December will be particularly busy here at Brickset with plenty of 2026 news and set reviews moving down the home page quickly, so be sure to visit regularly!

Review: 11372 Autumn Cottage Garden

Posted by ,

The Gardens of the World series of Icons sets debuted in 2023 and given that 11372 Autumn Cottage Garden will be the third one to be released, I think we can assume that they are popular, appealing to the more discerning customer who also buys botanical sets.

Unlike the first Japanese garden and last year's Mediterranean scene, this one is not inspired by reality, but by story books.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, LEGO's first foray into the Star Trek universe has been exceedingly successful. 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D has boldly gone out of stock in the USA, and is on backorder until February in other markets.

The clear-out of items due to retire soon continues during the weekend, with over 130 items reduced in the USA and 90-odd in the UK and Europe. You can view all discounts at LEGO.com where you are, although it's not possible to order by percent discount. You can do that on our Buy listings.

Here's the press release for the latest issue of Blocks Magazine.

Blocks, the monthly magazine for LEGO fans, Issue 134 launched today and is a celebration of creativity, design, fandom and the latest developments from the brick universe. Leading this issue is an exploration of a model no-one ever expected to happen; the first-ever LEGO Star Trek set, 10356 U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D.

For decades, fans have wondered whether LEGO Star Trek could ever become a reality — and now that it has, Senior Model Designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer and Graphic Design Manager Crystal Fontan reveal the creative journey they went on as Star Trek: The Next Generation fans. They discuss how they approached its iconic shape, balanced accuracy with stability and overcame the engineering challenges of turning such a beloved starship into an official LEGO model.
