21375 Godzilla revealed as LEGO's largest-ever Ideas set while TGV Inoui completes the final 2026 review

LEGO revealed 21375 Godzilla on 3 November 2026 - Godzilla Day - as the largest LEGO Ideas set ever made. The same day, fan designer NousSommesINOUIS's TGV Inoui became the 50th project to qualify for the third and final LEGO Ideas review of 2026. Both stories landed together, and between them they show the full span of what an Ideas submission can look like.

21375 Godzilla

The set goes on sale exclusively through LEGO.com and LEGO Stores on 27 November 2026, priced at £349.99 / $449.99 / €399.99 (AU$649.99, CAD$629.99, SGD$579.99), with an 18+ rating. At 5,363 pieces it displaces 21373 Downton Abbey (4,711 pieces, £269.99) from the top of the Ideas piece-count rankings - a record Downton held for just one month. LEGO also bills it as the largest buildable creature the company has ever produced.

The finished figure stands 54.6cm in its neutral pose and rises to 70cm when positioned with the Heat Ray pointing skyward. The footprint measures 27.5cm wide and 43.4cm deep; a minifigure placed alongside reaches only as high as Godzilla's ankle. Detail throughout is substantial: textured scaly skin, jagged dorsal fins, and poseable shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers. The tongue can be swapped for an included Heat Ray element to recreate the upward roar. The head can be rebuilt for different expressions and the tail oriented left or right. The model stands upright with the tail acting as a third point of balance, so no separate stand is required. The absence of hip articulation gives the finished piece the quality of a display statue rather than an action figure.

The licence covers Legendary's Monsterverse - the film-accurate Godzilla in cinemas since 2014. The franchise has grossed over $2.5 billion worldwide, with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire the highest-earning individual entry at over $570 million. Godzilla x Kong: Supernova is due in 2027, and the second season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters on Apple TV debuted in February 2026.

It is LEGO's Black Friday centrepiece for 2026, following 10356 Star Trek: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D in that slot last year.

Free gift with purchase

Anyone purchasing at launch receives 40888 Godzilla Logo & Footprint (359 pieces) free with purchase, available while stocks last on orders placed before 30 November. The GWP includes a brick-built Godzilla logo, a footprint scaled to the main figure's foot, a microscale ruined city scene, and a printed Mothra figure - an unusually strong inclusion for a free gift. GWP stock tends to vanish quickly once the promotional window opens.

LEGO Insiders promotions

Two Insiders promotions are running alongside the reveal. The first is a sweepstake for a free signed copy of the set - worth entering at £349.99 regardless of the odds.

The second is an exclusive poster redeemable for 3,000 Insiders points, equivalent to roughly £18.75 / $23.07 / €20.00 in savings value but requiring £375 / $461.54 / €400 of spending to earn. The poster recreates artwork from the 2019 film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, showing Godzilla in blue-black alongside a brick-built recreation and an onlooking minifigure.

The designer

The set originated with New York-based Matthew Esposito (LEGO Ideas username MattE720), who first pitched a Godzilla model in 2021 and resubmitted in 2023. The project crossed 10,000 supporters in October 2024, and LEGO approved it on 17 June 2025 - roughly 17 months before retail, longer than a typical Ideas turnaround. Esposito's original design stood around 32cm tall, similar in scale to 71411 The Mighty Bowser. The official set more than doubles that height, replaces the fan model's black back plates with blue energised dorsal fins, and drops the transparent support stand in favour of the self-supporting tail.

TGV Inoui completes the 2026 review

While Godzilla shows one endpoint of the Ideas process, TGV Inoui marks a beginning. The model by NousSommesINOUIS became the 50th qualifying submission in the third LEGO Ideas review of 2026, celebrating 45 years since France's high-speed rail network first entered service.

The design includes two locomotives, double-decker carriages with separate first and second-class interiors, accessible spaces, bicycle storage, luggage racks, and toilets. Printed logos throughout suggest a designer who has spent genuine time studying the original.

Fifty projects now compete for what tends to be a handful of official releases. The review process takes months and most submissions will not make it - that is how Ideas works. Train fans will have cause to follow this one: LEGO's existing train catalogue skews younger, and a detailed, adult-pitched TGV would fill a genuine gap if it gets through.

The 10 largest LEGO Ideas sets by piece count

Two new entries arrived within two months of each other, and both eclipse everything that came before. 21323 Grand Piano is worth noting for its Powered Up integration - music can be played through it via an app. 21353 The Botanical Garden is reportedly heading for retirement.

Godzilla demands a different kind of display space to most things on that list. Its 27.5cm width is marginally greater than a standard 32-stud baseplate (25.6cm), so it will not fit down a single-baseplate-wide modular street. Widening the streets or placing it on a corner with some deliberate rubble nearby sidesteps the issue. 11371 Shopping Street stands 36cm tall, which Godzilla clears comfortably, dwarfing every other building on the current modular roster.
