New LEGO Sets Out 1 October 2026: Executor, PlayStation, Downton Abbey and 17 More

It is the 1st of October, and that means one of the busiest launch days in the LEGO calendar. Around 20 new sets are out across LEGO.com and LEGO Stores, from a £10.99 pack of tree ornaments up to the £649.99 Executor Super Star Destroyer. Here is everything that is new, grouped by what kind of builder it is aimed at, plus the launch offers worth timing your order around.

A quick note on dates: Executor, PlayStation, Downton Abbey and Holiday House are in LEGO Insiders early access today, with general sale following on 4 October. If you are not already an Insider, it is free to sign up, and you will need to be logged in at checkout. The Avengers: Doomsday wave is the exception - those sets do not get early access and simply launch on 4 October.

The headliners: Executor, PlayStation and Downton Abbey

75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer (6,130 pieces, £649.99 / $799.99 / €749.99, LEGO.com) is the flagship of the month. At 136 cm long it is the longest brick-built LEGO Star Wars model ever produced, a centimetre longer than 10294 Titanic. The seven minifigures recreate the bounty hunter briefing from The Empire Strikes Back: Darth Vader plus Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, IG-88, 4-LOM and Zuckuss, all six hunters together in one box for the first time. Admiral Piett is absent, which stings given the scene the set is built around.

Buy it between 1 and 10 October and you also get 40897 Darth Vader's Lightsaber free while stocks last. Early reviews have been very positive about that GWP, which makes it a meaningful extra rather than an afterthought.

72306 PlayStation (1,911 pieces, £139.99 / $179.99 / €159.99, LEGO.com) is a near 1:1 replica of the original 1994 console. The Power and Open buttons click, the original pad plugs into the front, and the disc tray hides two small dioramas: a Gran Turismo track and an Ape Escape scene. It joins the NES, Atari 2600 and Game Boy in LEGO's run of retro gaming builds. On its own it also clears the threshold for the 40899 Astro Bot GWP (see below).

21373 Downton Abbey (4,711 pieces, £269.99 / $349.99 / €299.99, LEGO.com) is the second LEGO Ideas release of the day, based on Highclere Castle. The top level lifts away to reveal six rooms, including the main hall, dining room, library, kitchen and servants' hall. Its 13 minifigures cover the full principal cast upstairs and down, and they have drawn near-universal praise. The model itself has been more divisive, mainly because Highclere's distinctive central tower is missing.

Pokémon: the first LEGO Pokémon minifigures

72154 Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball (2,386 pieces, £229.99 / $299.99 / €249.99, LEGO.com) is the big one for Pokémon fans. The display Poké Ball sits on a grassy base as if it has just been thrown, and splits open to reveal battle scenes and nods to the games, including a library, computers and Pokédex tiles. Inside are the first-ever LEGO Pokémon minifigures - Red, Professor Oak and a Picnicker - plus Pikachu and Eevee figures.

40868 Up-Scaled Red Minifigure (930 pieces, £69.99 / $79.99 / €79.99, LEGO.com) is the first Pokémon entry in the up-scaled minifigure line. At 27 cm tall, Red has a movable head, arms, legs and hands, and comes with a brick-built Poké Ball. It is part of the Pokémon 30th anniversary range. If you only want a small Red, LEGO has also released a Red keyring.

For the shelf: Wallace & Gromit and a new Book Nook

21371 Wallace & Gromit (1,038 pieces, £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99, LEGO.com) recreates the motorbike and sidecar from A Close Shave, launching in Aardman's 50th anniversary year. Both characters are posable and capture the rounded stop-motion look well, with Gromit's goggles and floppy ears making it into the final model and a new printed dome element for his eyes. Unlike the big three above, it is on general sale today rather than Insiders-only. Community reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, so it is likely to be one of the faster sellers this month.

11379 Bookstore: Book Nook (1,690 pieces, £119.99 / $149.99 / €129.99, LEGO.com) is the fifth LEGO book nook and the first without a licence. Brickville Books is a two-storey mid-century bookshop with a spiral staircase, balconies and shelves sorted by genre, plus a shop owner and a customer minifigure. It also fixes a common complaint about earlier book nooks by having a properly finished back. Expect plenty of stickers for the book spines.

Christmas: Holiday House and six seasonal sets

The Christmas range covers everything from stocking fillers to a centrepiece, led by this year's Winter Village set.

11387 Holiday House (1,354 pieces, £99.99 / $119.99 / €109.99, LEGO.com) is the 2026 Winter Village set and the first family home in the collection since 2021. The Victorian house on Jingle Lane has a light brick that lights up the Christmas tree and windows, plus a horse-drawn sleigh that animates the horse when pushed. Four minifigures are included. The interior is tight, with the tree taking up much of the floor space, but it fills an obvious gap in Winter Village displays built mostly from shops.

The other six seasonal sets are all on general sale today.

40865 Buddy the Elf (713 pieces, £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99, LEGO.com) is the surprise of the wave - a licensed build based on the 2003 film Elf, which is very unusual for LEGO's seasonal range. Buddy stands on a North Pole base with a puffin, candy canes and a bottle of maple syrup. Opinion on the face sculpt is divided, and there is no Buddy minifigure, but it is the best value of the larger Christmas sets per piece.

40875 Up-Scaled Mrs. Claus Minifigure (904 pieces, £54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99, LEGO.com) is a 25 cm tall companion to last year's 40820 Up-Scaled Santa Minifigure, with the same posable head, arms and hands. If you already own the Santa, she is the obvious pairing.

40874 Santa's Holiday Countdown (873 pieces, £54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99, LEGO.com) builds a chimney with a perpetual calendar on the front, so you can count down to Christmas by turning the dials, with Santa and his sack of gifts on the snowy roof.

The three smaller sets round things out:

• 40958 Christmas Stocking (342 pieces, £29.99 / $34.99 / €34.99, LEGO.com) - a tiled stocking with gifts spilling out of the top and a toy soldier minifigure.
• 40866 Santa's Holiday Sleigh Adventure (187 pieces, £24.99 / $29.99 / €29.99, LEGO.com) - Santa, Mrs. Claus, two reindeer and a baby reindeer with a carrot. Most fans rate it below the older 40499 Santa's Sleigh.
• 40862 Holiday Ornament Selection 2 (179 pieces, £10.99 / $12.99 / €12.99, LEGO.com) - four hanging ornaments, including Cataclaws and a glow-in-the-dark tree. The easiest stocking filler of the lot.

Halloween: two LEGO Wednesday sets

76788 Nevermore Academy (890 pieces, £59.99 / $69.99 / €69.99, LEGO.com) builds the gothic school in microscale with an open back revealing a dorm room, principal's office and music room. More importantly for collectors, it includes the first Wednesday Addams minifigure - the theme has used minidolls until now.

76787 Wednesday Backpack (401 pieces, £34.99 / $44.99 / €39.99, LEGO.com) opens at the top to reveal a tiny dorm room inside, with a Wednesday minidoll and Thing.

Coming 4 October: Avengers: Doomsday

Four Avengers: Doomsday sets are listed for October but will not ship until 4 October, with no Insiders early access. They are available to pre-order now:

• 76352 New Avengers Tower (954 pieces, £99.99 / $109.99 / €109.99, LEGO.com) - a four-floor, 34 cm tall headquarters with six minifigures, including Doctor Doom, Yelena, Bucky Barnes and Sentry.
• 76348 Epic Battle: Avengers: Doomsday (846 pieces, £89.99 / $99.99 / €99.99, LEGO.com) - a posable Sentinel over 25 cm tall with six minifigures, including Magneto, Nightcrawler and Mister Fantastic.
• 76347 Avengers: Doomsday Quinjet (433 pieces, £54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99, LEGO.com) - opening cockpit, stud shooters and four minifigures, including Cyclops and The Thing.
• 40880 Avengers: Doomsday Heroes & Villain (467 pieces, £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99, LEGO.com) - a BrickHeadz four-pack of Gambit, Thor, The Thing and Doctor Doom.

Launch offers

Three offers are running alongside the launch, and they are worth planning your basket around:

• 40899 Astro Bot GWP - free with orders over £135 / $150 / €150 at LEGO.com and LEGO Stores from 1 until 7 October, while stocks last. It is a 276-piece, roughly 20 cm tall figure of the PlayStation mascot with swappable eye tiles. It is not tied to one theme, so any qualifying order counts, and 72306 PlayStation clears the threshold on its own.
• 40897 Darth Vader's Lightsaber GWP - free with 75457 Executor Super Star Destroyer from 1 until 10 October, while stocks last.
• Double Insiders points on selected Star Wars sets from 1 until 7 October.

Popular GWPs regularly run out before their end dates, and Astro Bot has obvious appeal to PlayStation fans who do not normally buy LEGO, so earlier in the week is the safer bet. As other retailers start listing the new sets, the BrickSleuth item pages above will show where each one is cheapest.
