Top New LEGO Sets to Grab This September (2026)

It feels a little early to be thinking about holiday décor, but LEGO’s September release schedule is already setting the tone for a festive season. Between swamp‑y Shrek minifigs, mischievous gremlins, and a miniature Hubble telescope, there’s something here for every collector, and more than half of the picks sit comfortably below the $100 mark.

Lego Minifigures Shrek Series
If you’ve ever wanted to pop open a mystery box and pull out an ogre in a tunic, this blind‑box set delivers. For just $5 a pop you’ll get one of twelve characters—Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Pinocchio, Gingy, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Thelonious, Big Bad Wolf, Merlin, Lord Farquaad, Fairy Godmother, or Prince Charming. The pieces are minimal (seven in total) and the recommended age is 6+, making it a quick, inexpensive add‑on to any LEGO collection.

Lego BrickHeadz Gremlin Gizmo & Stripe
Ever wondered what a gremlin would look like built from bricks? LEGO answers with a pair of BrickHeadz figures that sit at roughly three inches tall. Gizmo is the smaller of the two, while Stripe comes in a shade taller. With 230 pieces and a recommended age of 10+, the set costs $24.99—perfect for anyone who loves a bit of pop‑culture mischief without the mess.

Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar 2026
Before you can even think about counting down to Christmas, you might want to count down to the Force. This 24‑day calendar focuses on the Mandalorian universe, offering daily surprises like a festive‑clad Mando, a holiday‑wrapped Grogu, a red‑and‑green X‑Wing, and several iconic vehicles. The set contains 293 pieces, is aimed at ages 6+, and retails for $44.99. It’s a nostalgic nod to classic Advent calendars, but with a galaxy‑far‑away twist.

Lego Santa’s Holiday Countdown
Not a fan of chocolate‑filled windows? LEGO’s answer is a reusable countdown clock overseen by Santa himself. Two rotating knobs let you manually tick off each day, and the massive 873‑piece build is suitable for ages 10+. Priced at $59.99, it’s a functional décor piece that can be popped out and stored away for next year’s festivities.

Lego Nike Air Force 1 x Lego Set
Sneakerheads, this one’s for you. LEGO reimagines the iconic Nike Air Force 1 in brick form, complete with a 1,093‑piece minifig astronaut that can spin 360 degrees on a display stand. At $99.99 and a recommended age of 12+, it’s a collector’s item that merges two cultural staples—fashion and building.

Lego Ideas La Catrina
Celebrating Día de los Muertos, LEGO’s La Catrina stands a striking 17 inches tall. With over 1,200 pieces, the figure can be posed to showcase its intricate marigold and butterfly details. The set targets ages 18+ and retails for $139.99, positioning it as a high‑end decorative piece for adults who appreciate both art and nostalgia.

Lego Icons Hubble Space Telescope
For the astronomy nerds, LEGO brings the world’s most famous telescope to your bookshelf. Though the exact piece count isn’t listed here, the set mirrors the real‑life Hubble’s iconic shape and is designed for ages 16+. It’s a reminder that LEGO can recreate scientific marvels as faithfully as it can pop‑culture icons.

Beyond these eight, the broader September lineup teases a classic LEGO PlayStation set, the inaugural Mario minifigures, and a whimsical Wallace & Gromit scene—though those aren’t yet available for order. If you’re hunting for a gift that feels both timely and timeless, any of the stocked sets above should make the cut.

Whether you’re building a swampy kingdom, counting down to Christmas, or assembling a piece of the cosmos, September’s LEGO releases prove that there’s still plenty of room for imagination—and a little holiday sparkle—on the shelves.
