Available for preorder today for $59.99 and shipping on May 1st, 2025, Lego has announced a 700-piece buildable version of the iconic Star Wars logo created by graphic designer Suzy Rice.

If so, you’ll be able to add a Lego Shell-Walker and Sawtooth to your collection next March thanks to a new Horizon-themed Lego set that you can preorder now. Varl is getting a minifig, too.

Adding to its growing collection of doomed ocean-going vessels, Lego’s The Endurance recreates Ernest Shackleton’s ship that sunk in 1915 after being trapped in Antarctic ice for 10 months. Lego’s $269.99 version doesn’t float, but features a working steering wheel, four detachable life boats, sails, and removable panels revealing interior cabins and a replica of the ship’s steam engine.
The 3,093 piece X-Mansion is Lego’s largest X-Men set to date and will be available starting on November 4th for $329.99.

The Star Wars slimelord’s Sail Barge is 3,942 pieces and comes with 11 figs, including R2-D2 with drink tray, Leia in her infamous bikini, and a gigantic (by minifig scale) Jabba himself. It takes artistic liberties inside the ship, including a food-filled galley.
No Sarlacc pit or skiff to renact the Boba Fett / Han Solo / Luke battle, I’m afraid — that’s sold separately.
We knew Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, a four-part animated miniseries airing September 13th, would play amusingly fast and loose with canon.
But an entire Dark Falcon with Darth Jar Jar and Darth Rey and a Beach Luke?! Amazing. That’s the leak from Clay Bricks, who says it’ll cost $179.99. “X-Fighters” and “Tie-Wings” are reportedly coming too.
